    Database Support

    The site mentions Database support, can it connect to an Access 2000 DB and does it require an ASP or CFM page to actually pull the information and pass it to Flash?

    3dfa can use any database that your hosting provider supplies via server side scripting. So you are correct that you need asp/cfm or PHP to pull the data and deliver it to the flash player via LOADVARIABLE command.

    PHP is the first choice as it's Easier to read than ASP more flexible than Cfm and can read/write to basically ANY ODBC database and PHP/Mysql is the most used combonation around.

    It's also the only one I can really help much with as it is what we use.

    The Guestbook example I provide uses PHP and MySql and has complete source available.
