I need to create a Flash based application than must store data (and read also) in a database.
It will be dealing with about 500 records to fill and update a data grid with four columns.
Can it be done with pure AS3/XML/PHP or it's better to use MySQL?
Could you point to me to good tutorials or book?
I did buy an adobepress book (ActionScript 3 for Flash CS5) a couple of years ago but it only covers XML reading.
Many thanks in advance.
UPDATE 1:
I have done the same as desktop app yet. The database is stored in a local XML file (My Documents/storage folder) that I can read/write without any problem.
I need to adapt the project for on-line use.
UPDATE 2:
I did find this files: http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/newseditor.htm
The tutorials has some errors but is very simple. I will test it's performance with 500 records (I need something like 250 records)
Cheers
