Hi All!
I'm currently working on a project that will require access to, and search capabilities for, a database for well over 1000 media elements (and all their attribute fields). This project will run cross platform (separate installers) and I have to assume that some machines may not be connected to the internet, and they may not be running server software. As potential solutions, I've successfully experimented with Northcode's SWF Studio (with SQLite wrapper) and MDM Zinc. Both were relatively easy to implement.Zinc was a little less painful, but by then I had worked out a few kinks in my brain (I hope). There is, unfortunately, a brick wall in all this. Standalone, no-net-connection on the Mac. Northcode.doesn't appear to be able to publish for it. Zinc.well their database connectivity/query functionality goes way down for Mac, and seems to require access through a port/host rather than packaged local. So my big question.am I wrong, and could someone straighten me out on this issue (and help me see how to do it), or is there another solution (aside from remaking the entire DB in flash) that I'm missing? Note: the original plan was to write the DB and export as XML. An easy import method into Flash, no Doubt, but I figured the XML parser would poop (then die a recursive death) with the size of XML file we'd be talking about. So I've been bending and changing.just need something that (1) works and (2) is as easy as possible to implement. Booyeah! Thanks for any and all recommendations!
