XML and Db Question

Shalom,

  1. Is there any way that flash will communicate with mySql as standalone (without the usage of php, asp and web server)?
  2. Is there any way to generate XML files via flash, and again, without server side scripting languages?

I know that in Director it is possible with I/O xtra.

The thing is, I’m thinking of a standalone app that “talks” with data on mySql, access or whatever db app - doe’s any one have any idea?

Thanks,
