this cannot be done - you must run a server-side script to access a server DB - php is a common option, along with Java, JavaScript, ASP, ColdFusion, etc.  you will need to educate your client on the fact that a client-side script cannot do this for security reasons.

clbeech, do you know how to do that with ASP.NET? I think the actionscript 3.0 that should take care of this stuff is by using the URLLoader and URLVariables classes... but from there, I have no idea what to do...

unfortunately no, i do not know ASP well enough to give any code advice, other than the basic concept:  make a request on a server-side script (such as ASP) via URLLoader - the script receives variable values (if required), runs the DB queries you wish to invoke, and 'returns' the results - pick them up in the URLVariables class via the event handler in Flash and assign them to local properties if needed, etc.

there are quite a few threads that you could find more specific information on the ASP side, here and elsewhere around the net.
