Guy, Probably they're not actually sending the SQL from within the .swf, but are making a call in Flash through AMFPHP. It's in the PHP service on the server that the actual SQL-request happens. AMFPHP then returns a binary VO to Flash for you to use.
Check out http://www.amfphp.org/ if you want to read more on this subject, and visit http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/, the weblog from AMFPHP's creator Patrick Mineault. Kind regards, Sven On 10/6/06, Seb L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's not something that I personally would do, but then I generally avoid programming the back-end systems at all these days... :-) But yeah, SQL in the Flash seems wrong!
