Database with Flash Lite Application

Hi all,

i have been tasked to write a map for a rapid response team of a security firm and i want to adopt flash lite because the application will have to run on mobile devices.

there is this issue about database that baffles me, i don't know how best i can implement a database in this app since the map will have to run both online and offline. it will be easy to run online since i can work that out with PHP but our carrier networks are not so reliable and that means as much as possible, my map data will have to be stored locally.

any help or comment would be much appreciated.

Hi gkgyedu,
Welcome to the Flash Lite Discussion Board! :)
Pure Flash Lite provide only one way to store data locally i.e Shared Objects but they can be maximum of 4 KB. So, you have to extend Flash Lite using some other language that supports writing to files and saving things locally like Qt, Symbian C++ (No need to learn) , Python (No more active) or some other language. However, if i am at your place then for this application i will go for Qt because extending Flash Lite with Qt and calling Qt for each write makes your app performance wise slow as compared to native apps. Wish u very best of luck for your project.

Hi, I'm new to all of this and am wondering if this technology can be used on my php site that I currently have for my [URL="http://www.bladerunnershairstudio.com"]San Francisco Hair Salon[/URL] and still be able to use the same database i currently use? Or do I need to upgrade the backend in some way?

thanks in advance!
