Hi,

Is it possible to have Flash query a MySQL database, retrieve the data, and then do whatever it wants with the data (stored in a variable, or displayed to the screen in a text box perhaps) ?

Is it challenging?

If I can achieve this, I could perform a certain function without having to bother with a server acting as a middle-man.

I know PHP, so if this is something I DO need to use as a middle-man, (would assume this means using simple HTTP requests to retrieve the data), then I am OK with that, but if I could just somehow query DB from within flash itself, I would spend the rest of the night jumping for joy.

Please link any relevant resource websites and/or tutorials.

Thanks!! :)
