Help....flash to send and receive user data from SQL

[jsbrashears]

I have a client that wants a course for their employees that would log them in with their pin# and department code. They want this information entered into text fields on a login page in flash that would connect to their SQL database, check to see if they are in the database and then allow them to move to the first page of the course if the info is found. I have never done this with flash! Can anyone help with the as for this? Thanks

well, you would need to use a server-side script to access the database, so you're gonna have to find out which one their server supports. If its MSSQL, you can bet it'll be ASP, if its mySQL, it'll most likely be PHP. Flash cannot natively access the database, but you can send & receive values with server side scripts, that can then take your values and compare them against a database.

Thank you for replying to my post! :-) I will check with them to find out what they are using and then I will post it.

If it is MSSQL there is a component for accessing the database directly using XML. Check Macromedia Exchange for it. Well, if you're using MSSQL.
