Search engine using mysql

[iranor]

Hi. Me and my friends wanted to create a online game. There's a map , players , etc. We wanted to put a search engine to find informations about players using flash.

We thought about the following design :

The goal would be , when we type a player's name and we click search , their information is taken from the mysql database and displayed on the right , and their position on the map. Preferably without refreshing.

Is this possible?

Yes. You must use a server side script to process the request and reply from mySQL... but you can certainly do this.

The actionscript loadVars.sendAndLoad() can do it and still maintain state. Send to your form processor, load from your form processor.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
