Yes, AIR can communicate with your server of choice in pretty well the same way as a flex swf can. I've never used coldfusion myself, but there seem to be plenty of online resources regarding flex and coldfusion, so you should be fine. It's important to understand that you'll need to implement a middle layer on the server between the actual database and the client application however(using CF, or php, or java, or C#, ruby etc etc - it's your choice as to platform on the server). (There is some code around for connecting directly to a mysql DB, but I understand it's alpha and there are issues with sending passwords etc)

Question: Can Air, in general, connect to an online database? Can this be done with Coldfusion? I have little information about an Air application retrieving data from online, but it must happen. What I don't want to do is use the SQlite db, all data must be retrieved and stored online - possible? thanks ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
