Hi,

I have never heard that this is doable. You must run through some sort of server technology.

Yep, thedanster is right. You'll need a server side technology to be the
interface between flash and the DB. Something like coldFusion, PHP, ASP....

ColdFusion would be the easiest to learn, since it would give you an all
Macromedia solution, but PHP seams to be the most popular one.... probably
because it's free!

Good luck!

If what you are doing is simple enough you can save the file with the variables right to your hard drive. The data would save to a text filel and also load from a text file if you so choose.
