I have already wrote two extensions one uses PHP for MySQL, the other uses ASP for MS SQL or .mdb.
Creates your PHP or ASP depending on which extension you choose.

The flash extension has built in classes and writes the FLash AS2 or AS3 for you insid Flash. I have made everything iterchangable between ASP and PHP classes so by changing the import from …php.as2.* (or…php.as3) to …asp.as2. To change from as2 to as3 you must also change your publish setting from as2 to as3. finally you need to change the loadVars variable type in the return function to URLVariables. That’s it!

All you have to do is set the variables for your query and what you want flash to do with the data on the return function.

It does the insert, update, select and delete queries.
You can also you where like what and sortby as well as joins unions and so on.

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting on the conference. It would be great to have a local conference hub in Portland.

I’m looking to add some very simple social features to the site in the coming days that should make it easier to organize and publicize local hubs. In the meantime, please feel free to lay the foundations. We’ll also be releasing simple guidelines for local hubs very soon.

As always, thank you for your support and, in case I didn’t mention it, thank you for writing such a great chapter on SWX in the Essentials of Open Source Flash book :)

We’ve been approached about this and are seriously considering hosting at Substance. Let’s talk.

Anyone who knows why this is??

the Tamarin based AVM is flash fast!
it beats PHP by far

so, why don’t we start a open source project
pick a cute name
all software is there, the AS3 (abc) compiler is open-source too (it’s included in Tamarin)

AND WRITE IT OURSELVES!
sooner the better!

who’s in?

I was thinking about this kind of utility the other day.
With the latest avalanche of major and minor versions there are some nice features but you ‘re sure to get them only if you have the latest player.
So how about telling the user more about his flash player capabilities. Like if the one he/she has supports bitmap data, or HD video or the new sound features.

Should have known Aral would beat me to the punch on something like this! It is good not to have too many technical details on a client-facing version, though, so not all is lost!
