Newbie Flash/HTML question

[mingus]

I have some flash files in a database.

Is it possible to show them straight from the database or do I need to save them a file first?

The attempts call a Serlvet which writes the bytes of the file fails to display the movie, although if I save to a file and call that file name it works fine. I rather not have to create temp files!

For example in:

<embed src=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;400&quot;>

Can src by a JSP file with JAVA?
A Servlet?
A perl program?
Etc..
Or does it have to a physical file?

by use of a component access files can display directly in flash.

table component needs mx

for any other database you will need middleware...asp, php, xml...to act as a go between
