Getting info from mssql into flash

[menuking]

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction on how to get
information out of an mssql Db and into a flash movie? I am not familiar with
xml, but would I have to create some sort of xml document that gets the info
first, and then into flash? Please help!:confused;confused;

You'll have to use some server side scripting like php, ColdFusion etc.

You use LoadVars or XML Actionscript classes on the Flash side.

These communicate data to and from your serverside scripts.

I have a basic XML, MySQL and PHP examples I use in Flash seminars I conduct
as follows.

Here is a site with some good examples. I've loooked high and low for methods to connect to a mssql database on IIS.
