Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / August 2004Flash and a SQL database
I am working on a project that is turning a HTML-based website using a SQL database into a Flash website with dynamically-driven data that is updated constantly Is this compatible? I know Flash Remoting is more current, but as I am new to database integration w/ Flash, I'm confused if this SQL website will be compatible with a fully running Flash site i'm pretty sure it is. I'm kinda new to remoting .. but I have a cf datasource hooked to SQL server via a flash movie for testing. works fine .... Yeah, it seems I need PHP or ColdFusion to act as "middleware" to work betweent the two thanks nah you can use .NET as well .... check out Tom Muck's Flash Remoting Definitive Guide ...(page 48) it refers to a an add on server component (DLL) for .NET. it is a little more work and you have to download something .. but it can be done with .NET. It is just more work. you also must have the .NET SDK installed check out: http://macromedia.com/software/trial_download Sorry I don't know the exact link to the .NEt extension, I can tell you though that CF is a lot easier to use .... good luck.

Using an application server such as ColdFusion is by far the most frequently used method of hooking a SQL Server instance to Flash. I've written many applications that do just this. However, much less used (at least at this point) is the RDBMs Resolver component in Flash that will hook Flash to a SQL Server backend. I'm not 100% on this, but I'm fairly sure this is done without any "middleware" such as ColdFusion. Look up this component in the docs for more instance. FYI - it is only available in FlashMX 2004 Professional. |
