database question

[schu91]

I would like to turn my swf into an exe. My question is, is there a way to send data back and forth to a mysql database. I don't want to use httpservice because I don't want to relie on there being a web server. I believe I would want to use something like remoteobject. However I don't know jdbc that well. Is there some other way of making a database connection? Has anybody else done anything like this without using a webserver?

Use of remote objects is the best option. You have a few options if you want to use RemoteObjects + AMF - Java, ASP.NET, PHP Let me ask you - what back-end technologies are you conversant off?

Open the swf in flashplayer and goto "file">"Create Projector..."
Voilà.

asSQL (http://code.google.com/p/assql/) provides MySQL support in ActionScript 3.

Please consider the security implications of using it, however. If someone decompiles your SWF, they could gain valuable information about how to attack your database. At the very least, do not put usernames or passwords directly into your SWF, unless they are highly restricted accounts.
