I don't get it. Whether one uses Ruby, PHP or mothers_mouthwash, all one is
doing is using xmlSendAndLoad() (or similar function) to call a script and
retrieve results. What's the big deal?
If the question is what language / framework should I use to establish an
app to manage the data, and incidentally fetch it for Flash, then a
framework makes sense - RoR, Cake, ... whatever you are comfortable and
productive with? (I'm a PHP guy myself - stopped chasing "language of the
month" years ago.)

thanks, but at first glance I can't see what advantages haxe might
have over ror... really it looks like it'd be just as easy to write
PHP as it is to write haxe. When comparing to RoR, it's oop
structure, db migration abilities, and being able to get so much from
just typing "scaffold," I can't say haxe is nearly as attractive.
I'm not a hard-core coder type, I'm more of a designer with enough
coding skills to get it done, and my head hurts from having to learn
new languages every week. So without getting away from my original
question, I'd also like to hear some explanation of just exactly what
haxe/neko can do that I can't do with ror, or just actionscript and php.
thanks again,

I'll use this time to plug haXe / neko. Well, haXe includes neko.
Using this amazing new system, you can build your swf's and build the
website backend for the functionality. haXe and Neko are open source
and although very small, they are also very very fast and feature
rich.
Plus, the dependencies for haXe / Neko are minimal compared to Ruby,
Python or PHP. As for the data transport, you can use XML calls to
and
from, though a much more robust remoting is due in the future. Trust
me, learn it now and be at the forefront.
Look at www.haxe.org and www.nekovm.org

Subject: [Flashcoders] Using Flash with Ruby on Rails
Hi All,
Was considering ruby on rails as a backend platform for flash apps,
as it seems much quicker to set up database/sql transactions than
using PHP. I have some little experience with PHP, but I'm at the
point where I pretty much need to relearn it or pick something else,
so I thought now might be a good time to check out RoR. I haven't
been able to find much information at all about how Flash/AS2 might
communicate with a Ruby on Rails app. One person suggested a couple
of javascript implementations, but I'd prefer to avoid javascript if
I can. Has anybody had any experience/success using these together,
or should I just stick with PHP?
thanks in advance,
chad
