Hi everyone,

I want to give my son a project to do for school. He loves to play with Flash, so I want him to make a simple game for me. I want to be able to incorporate a Snitz db so that the players can keep their scores in with their Snitz user profile.
This is not up my alley. Does anyone know of any sites or code that could help both my son and me accomplish this together?
Cheers,

Etymon

Do you want multiple scores or high score kept in the profile?<

Last time I looked, accessing a DB from Flash wasn't the most straightforward thing. It's been a while, though.<

I think www.codeproject.com had an article on getting a flash app to talk to a database. If I remember right, you will still need an intermediary ASP page.<

Here are some discussing Ruirib's concern (accessing the dbase from Flash):

Thanks everyone for steering me to a direction to follow.
I want individual high and multiple scores and team high and multiple scores. This is for us to compete individually as well as in teams as a family.
I'll check out those links Carefree! Great!
