Flash to SQL

[billb]

This actionscript is fairly new to me, and I'm trying to use Flash as a Form. I have three fields in the login that I want to verify in a SQL database to allow access. Does anybody have any experience in communicating Flash with SQL???

flash can't work directly with dbs/sql (altho remoting with mx may change this), so you will need to use a serverside language like php,asp,cfml,cgi etc,etc,etc, to do the actual db communication via sql.

I have a couple of books I was reading yesterday and they were telling me I have to insert certain strings into the asp page but I do not know where to put them. If I put them in the query of the asp page, I got all kinds of errors.

getting flash to talk to asp is no problem.
getting asp to talk to a db is a little tougher, and there are a lot of different ways to go about it.
best bet would be to go to an asp site and dig through some tutorials/forums to get it all straightened out.
