setup flash in office

[gracecheah]

I’m recently graduated and new in an office. All what I have access now to MYSQL server and I want to design a flash multiplayer game in LAN and need to store my data in database.

What the best choice for me with server side script (JAVA, ASP, JSP, PHP………….) to make my game working as fast as possible? I want to show what I can do in flash.

I take a look on a forum most ppl using PHP but I don’t have it now. I have access to tomcat that all. Is it hard to connect flash with Tomcat to database?

actually my boss want me connect flash to java(server using tomcat).. please help me..

this may help get you in the right direction. Dont know much about java or tomcat, but found this,

i would use an xml socket server for multiplayer games. much faster and better for games. check out Smart Fox Server (http://www.smartfoxserver.com/). No matter what version you choose u can test it with a limit of 5 users/players at a time. Plus it comes with great documentation so its easy to learn. (This sounds like an advertisement ;) but o well)

Theres also ElectroServer 3 (http://www.electrotank.com/ElectroServer/) and some open source xml socker servers but i'm unfamiliar with them.
