    Hi everyone!

    Is it possible to link a Microsoft Access database to a Flash movie, and if so, how do you do it? Is it complicated or is the code almost the same as when you link it to HTML?

    Thanks in advance,
    Tim Metz

    You have to have some form of middle-ware to talk to the database. Since you are talking about microcrap, you have a few options:

    1) If on a NT server, just talk to it with ASP and ODBC.

    2) Use Apache and Perl on NT and use the wonderful DBI module.

    3) Export your database as a tab, comma, whatever delimited file and then import that into SQL, mYsql, Oracle or whatever floats your database boat. And have Perl, Java, or any of the other middle-ware languages talk to it.

    Complex isn't the beginning of it...
