Hey! I’m trying to find a way how to update a flash movie when the data changes in MySQL database. There is a way for this in AIR that I haven’t tried ([http://help.adobe.com/en\_US/AS3LCR/Flash\_10.0/flash/events/SQLUpdateEvent.html](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/events/SQLUpdateEvent.html)) but I wanna know if it’s possible in a normal flash movie.  
For example… there is a datagrid that contains some records from a MySQL database and when I insert a new record trough another interface (phpMyAdmin or just a simple website or something…) the flash movie updates its datagrid and shows the new records without refreshing the browser and the whole movie.  
I hope I was clear about this :puzzled:

I think it can be done with sockets or netconnection or something like that, because you have to establish a connection between the webserver and your movie. But I don’t know too much about these things :ponder:

Any help would be appreciated.
