MySQL Parameters and Flash CS3

[GingerNinja1989]

Hey all, not been in here in a while, but I was wondering if you could help.

In something like VB.NET with SQLServer you can add paramters to a query by doing something like Parameters.AddWithValue, but I need to do something similar using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0 and MySQL.

Basically, I would like to get a value from a combo box, and pass that value to a SELECT query using that value.

Can anyone help a very confused person?

TIA

You cant really communicate directly with MySQL from within Flash without some 3rd Party Apps. Best way to do it is to pass the flash content to a php script which then does the integration with MySQL, and then the php script can return results to flash. This is how I run my flash bulletin board at http://forums.swfbb.com The flash content is passed to MySQL via PHP and then back again to display results/data.

If you need any help with it dont hesitate to ask

I've worked it out now - used loadVars to pass the values to my PHP script. Knew it was something like that but couldn't think of it!

Thanks for the input Immsy!
