Building Dynamic Applications

[reya276]

I have a questions for you flash gurus, Can I build an application for
displaying, inserting,updating data to and from Microsoft SQL Server? I don't
want this application be be depended on any technology other than flash,
meaning I don't want to built the damn thing on PHP, .Net, coldfusion or
anything like that I want to be able to connect to the database using
ActionScript 2.0 and do everything else (programming) with it as well. Can this
be done?

Yes, Flash offers a client UI side that can be plugged into serverside
scripts and databases.

The data format communicated can be URL vars or XML or both. Thus your
server side programs would expect to receive and send in those formats and
as well does Flash. The serverside programs are responsible for DB
interfacing.

Here are some overview links in the Flash 8 docs.
