Help!

I have been trying to get some help on this question for a while now..... I have opened 4 support tickets with adobe and the response I get back from them is that they don't support FMS? I can't understand not supporting a product that you sell........

My question:

Does anyone have an example or can tell me how to access a MYSQL (Question and answer) database using FMS to display text in a dynamic text field?     

Any help greatly appreciated!

Larry

    FMS can't make database queries on its own. You'll need an http service using a suitable application server (php, asp, etc) to handle the query. You can then use LoadVars, XML, XMLSocket, or NetServices on the FMS side to make the request of the webservice.

    As for passing text from FMS to connected clients, see docs for the client class for the call() method, the SharedObject class for the send() method, and the Stream class for the send() method.
