flash - Using Actionscript 3 to connect to a database -
i'm looking advice on how dynamically create content in flash based on database. thinking export database xml file , use built in actionscript xml parser take care of that, size of xml file may prove prohibitive.
i have read using intermediary step (php, asp) retrieve information , pass actionscript can read, prefer not if possible. has worked assql libraries before? or there else missing?
unless you're running actionscript on server side (i doubt that), connecting database directly wouldn't smart @ all. connect database client side actionscript you'd have open server accept database connections everyone, , you'd have store access data in swf files , disastrous combination in case disassembles swf files.
if size of xml prohibitive, can split somehow, or if impossible, can data server through php or else running on server, example, you'd give relevant parameters in request php file , server side script queries database, builds xml text (that subset of complete data, based on given parameters) can consumed actionscript.
