    Default Embedd a database within a SWF?

    Hi -
    I'm wondering if the following can be done with Flash -
    - can a swf contain it's own database that the user can add, delete, read?
    - while the view is online, entering and interacting with the data- is it
    being sent back and forth to the server?
    - can this database be protected with some sort of encryption that is only
    unlocked by the user's code?
    - and so that if the user emailed the swf or the db file from within the swf,
    only a person with the key could access the data?

    Can it be done?
    Can someone point me to how to these features might be possible with Flash?

    TIA your input,
    jl

    Hi,

    1.- An swf cannot contain its own database but it can access several server
    side scripts to mantain/modify a server side database.
    2.- Yes the interaction with the database occurs without the user having to
    take notice.
    3.- You can use any type of session protection wih authentication to protect
    your data.
    4.- SWF are like HTML or plain text (anyone can find a way to read it) so I'd
    recomend using server side authentication rather than relying on swf key
    protection.
