Thanks guys. Zinc does that for windows, which is
great, but doesn’t offer the same features for mac
unfortunately. -----Original Message----- Zinc actually connects to more than just MySQL. On 12/13/05, Tom Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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. -Tom On 12/13/05, Steve Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
wrote: 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
