Jason, Thanks! Currently, for the server side I am leaning toward PHP and MySQL. If required and more beneficial I would consider Cold Fusion. If interested I could e-mail you the detailed specs. As I have not done anything with Flex and Flash Builder4, I am wondering whether I should start learning it to accomplish this task. Thanks, Dan In a message dated 8/5/2010 9:01:14 A.M.

I have been doing the same, and at this time I am trying to develop a simplified LMS for tracking students’ records. If anyone has already written similar code, I will be glad to purchase such. Based on my client base requirements, this LMS will need to work both offline and online. For the offline version, I plan to use AIR with its embedded SQlite. For the online version the training program and the database will reside on the Internet, where, I will use similar MySQL database structure. Ideally, when the user has some Internet connection, the AIR version should be able to transmit records from the SQlite to the server database. So far, all my e-learning programs are developed with pure Actionscript 3.0 classes (No Flex). I would appreciate any help and/or recommendation with the best method to approach this development. If you like to respond directly, please feel free to do so.

To transmit data from the AIR app when connected to a server side database, you'll need some kind of server side script, like a web service set up. Do you know how to do that and what server side scripting is available on the host server? The AIR/SQL communication should be pretty straightforward - see the AIR documentation. Your biggest thing to tackle is the AIR to server communication piece.
