you need to use the loadvars object (i assume ur using mx2004). You can't directly connect flash to a database so you have to use scripts as a middleman.

Basicly you send data or requests to ASP or PHP or CGI (if ur using access DB then use ASP) then ASP querys the MDB and then you tell ASP to send the results back to flash.

Then you use the loadvars object the retreive the info.

Here's a tutorial

This uses the outdated loadvariable object insted of loadvars. Just look up loadvars in flash help.

Hi... I know this is an old thread but I'm up against the same problem
I'm using the asp101 tutorial as a starting point but need to use LoadVars because loadvariable is too limiting. But I can't seem to get it to work... Please help, I'm going out of my mind!
Thanks
Toby
