Re: FLASH: flash 4 database capability

[John Croteau]

Hi Amer,

> if there is any. using ODBC..

Generator can communicate directly with databases, Flash can not.

Flash can send data using GET or POST methods (Send Variables) with a

URL directed at a dynamic server side page such as ASP or Cold Fusion.

That page can then communicate with a database and receive data from the

database. It can then write to itself which Flash can listen for that

page write (Load Variables).


> can we get flash to write a text file

No Flash can not write to a text page, it can retrieve date from a text

page but is unable to write to a text file.


>  or something?

See above.
