Martin is correct about Flash requiring FCS to stream MP3s. Flash can either pick up an MP3 from the server's filesystem, or connect to FCS to pick up a stream of MP3 information. He's also correct about Flash8 binary sockets and connecting to databases directly. I'm sure someone will dig into the socket level RDBMS specs for various servers and create connection classes for them, at some point in the future. But for the time being (which is what matters most), you DO have to have some sort of middleware, as Judah stated, and as you probably already know. Cheers
