Re: [flexcoders] Flex - Mac - Database (Semi OT)

Tue, 13 Dec 2005 14:54:46 -0800

Zinc provides a way to talk to mySQL directly with no need for a middle tier.  Of course, you'd have to precompile your swf to have Zinc compile it.  Mixing MDMScript in with your flex code, asp, etc. might prove a bit time-consuming though.  You'd have to include the MDMScript in the flex file, compile the flex file into a swf, take the swf and wrap it up in Zinc, and then finally test.  If you found a mistake, you'd have to do it all over again.
 
Possible, in theory.  Practical, I'm not to sure of.

All,

 

I'm currently looking at ways in which we could create a standalone app using flex and a database, for Mac OSX and PC.

 

Basically we're looking at creating a cd/dvd with a mac/pc installer which will provide a client with a desktop app and database. The flex-based desktop app would be wrapped using something like 'Zinc' to provide the flash player etc.

 

The issue I'm having is working out how I'm going to do the database on a mac. On a PC we could simply bundle a database and perhaps an ASP tier which could do the interaction.

 

However I'm at a total loss with a mac, I don't even use the things. Has anyone done anything similar?

 

My initial research would suggest a flex app, a java layer and perhaps a database such as SQLite. However I'm not a JAVA programmer, I'm usually .NET and Flex.

 

Has anyone any suggestions?

 

Cheers,

 

Steve
