Q: How do I get Flex to query my database? A: Flex does not have any native database integration functionality. you will require some server-side tier that will do the database access and send the data back to Flex via one of three protocols: * RemoteObjects: Fastest. communicates with server side EJB's or POJOs using AMF, a binary, compressed format. * HTTPService: uses HTTP protocol. Sources can be JSP, ASPx,.NET, files, any url that returns HTTP. * WebService: Slowest. Uses SOAP protocol. Sources can be .Net, or any WebService. 2009/12/1 gandalfhr <[email protected]> > > > Hi, > i opened an account at 000webhost.com and put some of my php files that > access mysql there.
