Flash does not care where it gets variables from when it uses the load
variables action. All it cares about is that the data is shaped the right
way, ala URL encoded, name=value pairs delmited by &s. So, you can tell
flash to connect to anything from a plain text file, to a php, or asp, or
tango, or cold fusion, or jsp, or servlet or perl ap.... whatever you want!
The info that the middleware spits out needs to be set to mime type
text/plain and then just follow standard URL encoding of name/value pairs.
Not only that, but you can pass variables to the file you are getting
varialbles from. This way you can do actual DB queries based on flash
inputed data.

Can flash be used to get data from a database? How do you set that up? I
want to have text in flash change and pull the text changes from the
database.

Thanks in advance,

Marc
