http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Programming_language Of late, the Flash libraries are being used with the XML capabilities of the browser to render rich content in the browser. This technology is known as Asynchronous Flash and XML, much like AJAX. This technology of Asynchronous Flash and XML has pushed for a more formal approach of this technology called Adobe Flex, which uses the Flash runtime to build Rich Internet Applications. ------------------------------- This is probabily what I need for this project :)

So basically all the data between Flash and SQL queries goes thru

temporary XML files correct?

not so much temporary as you convert the data to xml packets and transport in that format, you use the xml as a way of keeping the data structured and transportable (see SOAP, XML-RPC); think of flash as a client side program and you're php application as a webservice that the client app sends and recieves data from and you'll get on a lot better.

Yeah. XML web services are the way forward for exchanging data. You can have one service spit out XML that can be used by an AJAX request, Flash and basically anything else that can digest web services. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk WSOT is worth a look if you're so inclined; hardly any php lib's have support for ws-* suite of services like ws-addressing, ws-security etc (native support in soap for sessions, security etc etc)
