We have a (probably small) news & events database for a corporate site, and need to create a search engine in Flash. Are either of these options better than the other?:
1. Put the search logic into a php script, get flash to call it and just display the results.
-Only relevant results are sent over the internet
-Every search requires a new call to the php/data base
2. Put the search logic into the Flash, and have the php simply to create an XML file
-The entire database is sent over the net work, but only once.
-New search calls data once when movie is loaded, and never has to do it again.
