Well, I need to pull from the mySQL database. I'm thinking about just reading the whole database into memory and manipulating it from there.

Also a lifetime database which one can carry in small Flash USB-memory keyring-gadgets. 2) External databases, storing in external cst-/cxt-files parallell in same root as the projector exe-file. Much faster within a blink for multiple pictures, sounds, texts...and so on. Tested for at least 3000 pictures (24-bit), 420 items in texts, sounds... ..blablabla. And it's so much cheaper... Search-engine...OK, toss it in... Designings into specialities, Ok throw that in too... Probably to some extent 3D could go, films not yet tested..but I guess it might go with some loading time, depending on sizes of course. Best of all, you can have the database intact in compatibility for many years. Not that shit like Microsoft in having dll-files every now and then..hopelessly junky. The internal is fine as it gets everything into a shell, but gets slow after some 'Bible of info' are set in. Where the external goes like a rocket.. Learn more of how to make them... happy father of some dbases ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quoting Jeremy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Anyone know of a cheap/free method of communicating to mySQL databases > with director, and/or some tutorials?
