The connection to the server side is by XML/WebService/RemoteObject.
Basically, your serverside script return an XML for your Flex application. In Flash 5, I was doing exact same thing, only that returns "variable=value&variable=value&variable=value". So, XML is heaven! hehehe.
Today, with webservices and RemoteObject (since Flash MX, I think) things go easy :)
In flex, with dataproviders in every object, you almost don´t have to parse the XML. Only in specific needs.

I was going to ask this yesterday but I find documentation on using
Flex to connect to a database nearly non-existant, you know what I
mean?
I would like to see a step by step tutorial that says, "Here is how
you make a search page, results page, detail page and edit page in
Flex WITH", and this is a big WITH, "the backend code."
I know there is a lot of technologies out there so everyone will have
their own SSS (server side setup/system they are using (I just made up
SSS right this minute. "SSS" term copyright judah 2006 ;)) .
Specifically, I'd like a php and mysql tutorial. But I've also worked
with ASP.NET in AS2 and at the moment I'm working with JSP and JBOSS.
So maybe if we just start with one then they can be converted to other
SSS's.
To ramble on further, the problem isnt "accessing" the db. Its
everything else. Thanks for listening. I may repost this in another
thread for visibility.

ps actually by tomorrow sss will probably sound lame. or be
misinterprited. sss? super silly socks? striped slimy salamanders?
sorry so sloppy? ok it's already taken i guess. nevermind everyone on
the whole new acronym thing!
