RE: [flexcoders] Flex - Database

[Ted Patrick]

Greg,   I have been playing with a custom MYSQL Class for AS3 based on Socket. It uses flash.net.Socket to connect directly to a database natively and exchange data. flash.net.Socket is an intrinsic class within the Flash Player 9 and provides a true Binary TCP/IP Socket. TCP/IP Sockets are the basis for most DB connections including ORACLE, MYSQL, MSSQL.   Flash.net.Socket is available today Flash Player 9 and is fully available within Flex.   Socket also includes: read/write of AMF3 compress/uncompress using ZLIB Image data can be written to the Display List via Loader.writeBytes( ByteArray ) including native image support for SWF,GIF,PNG,JPG   AS3 driver development is just a matter of time. I expect we will see the community step up and write some great drivers to allow native database access.   Outside of databases I have personally seen flash.net.Socket implement the following protocols thus far:   POP3, IMAP, SVN, VNC, XMPP, NNTP, AIM, TELNET, DNS, LDAP   Fire up AS3, learn flash.net.Socket and flash.utils.ByteArray, and write some more protocols!   Cheers,   Ted Patrick Flex Evangelist Adobe Systems Incorporated __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
