Hi,

I’m looking at building a website with Flash as the front-end, but need advice on the best way to build and how to do it really. It will have the following features:

**Simple Members Area/Registration**

- Upload Files (Store in DB or in Directory)…need your thoughts on this…
- Some simple fields like Name…Location etc…

\*\*Rating System  
\*\*  
**Commenting**

- Allow registered members to comment

For me personally the best way would be Flash Front-End and PHP+MySQL backend - how does this work with Flash?..What about XML, is it needed? Are there any good links you can give to help with CS3/Actionscript 3.0 and PHP+MySQL integration at all?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Cheers 🙂
