Which version of Flash will allow me to access a MS Access or SQL Server database????
Flash doesn't connect to a database. Flash loads scripts that can access a database.
Basically instead of having (for example) an asp script that accesses a database and writes the content to html, you have the script write a set of variables so that it ends up looking like this:
&infoOne=Some info&infoTwo=Some more info&
Then flash loads the script and the variables are available to the flash player.
Flash 5 uses loadVariables() or loadVariablesNum(), if you've got Flash MX then you're better off with the custom LoadVars() object.
cheers.
