要以Flash顯示資料庫資料可用Loadvars或XML、Flash Remoting，在這以LoadVars、XML為例，LoadVars和XML運作原理大同小異，送參數觸發伺服器上的程式(ASP、PHP、JSP)連接資料庫。不同點僅在於傳回資料描述的方式不同，Loadvars用"變數=值&變數=值".....變數中間以&符號連結
如:id=6&name1=Michael&address=Coventry House Miner Rd.
而XML當然以XML的方式描述，以下為範例:

Loadvars

ASP-engine2.asp

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%> <%'隨機選題目並輸出為XML%> <!--#include file="connectDB.asp"--> <% Response.Expires=-1500 Response.CacheControl="no-cache" '禁止快取 id=request("id") set rs=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") if id="" then'若沒帶參數過來便亂數取一筆record  sql="select * from Employees ORDER BY NEWID()" else  '取第三筆record  sql="select * from Employees where EmployeeID="&id end if rs.Open sql , conn , 3 , 1 name=rs("FirstName") response.write "id="&rs("EmployeeID")&"&" response.write "name1="&rs("FirstName")&"&" response.write "address="&rs("Address") rs.close %>

Flash-a.swf

//準備一個按鈕並命名為star_btn三個動態輸入文字框變數設為id、name1、address //在第一個影格寫上 star_btn.onPress=function(){   var loadasp:LoadVars=new LoadVars();  loadasp.onLoad=myfun;  loadasp.load("http://60.248.36.151/temp/joehwang/engine2.asp");    function myfun(){   trace("load ok");   trace(loadasp.name1);   id=loadasp.id;   name1=loadasp.name1;   address=loadasp.address;  }  }

XML

asp-engine.asp

'與ajax連接資料庫範例相同 <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%> <%'隨機選題目並輸出為XML%> <!--#include file="connectDB.asp"--> <% Response.Expires=-1500 Response.CacheControl="no-cache" '禁止快取 id=request("id") set rs=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") if id="" then'若沒帶參數過來便亂數取一筆record  sql="select * from Employees ORDER BY NEWID()" else  '取第三筆record  sql="select * from Employees where EmployeeID="&id end if rs.Open sql , conn , 3 , 1 Response.ContentType="text/xml"'將文件編碼指定為XML格式，asp產生xml格式時必加 response.write "<?xml version="&chr(34)&"1.0"&chr(34)&" encoding="&chr(34)&"utf-8"&chr(34)&"?>" response.write "<areas>" response.write "<id>"&rs("EmployeeID")&"</id>" response.write "<name>"&rs("FirstName")&"</name>" response.write "<address>"&rs("Address")&"</address>" response.write "</areas>" rs.close %>

Flash-xmla.swf

//準備一個按鈕並命名為star_btn四個動態輸入文字框變數設為id、name1、address、loading //在第一個影格寫上 star_btn.onPress=function(){  loading="loading.....";  var myxml:XML=new XML();  myxml.ignoreWhite=true;  myxml.onLoad=myfun;  myxml.load("http://60.248.36.151/temp/joehwang/engine.asp");     function myfun(){     id=myxml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];   name1=myxml.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];   address=myxml.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0];   loading="";  }  }
