Is there a DTD file for mxml avaiable anywhere for download?

Hoping to someday add Flex muscle to FreeBSD.

Does anyone have any idea if Flex is something that Macromedia ever plans on porting anywhere other than the WinWorld? We develop for and maintain a fleet of Xservers that host the inner-workings of numerous sizeable companies in Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco, and as excited we continue to be in regards to adopting the Flex framework, from the top down, our organization refuses to taint our services with anything from Redmond.

With this version of Flex, you should be able to deploy the non-enterprise based apps on anything that can dish out a swf. And since the authoring environment can be run as a plugin to Eclipse, you should be able to use any platform that Eclipse runs on. That should give you quite a few options. I'm not sure what you will be able to run the Enterprise services on, but the Flex 1.5 runs on several flavors of Linux and Unix.

Flex <-> XML <-> Something <-> MySQL

Hi,

I am all new to flex and I really don't get how to bind MySQL database to Flex.. I am used to Flash and ActionScript but I am lost with Flex. Actually, what I really want is to be able to generate Flex content dynamically, like to handle news, using XML in both ways. I searched all over the web, read few documentation on the wiki but still don't get it. What I would really need is an example?

Thx for the help

Hi, PTGreg

You should use some "server side applications". For instance, ColdFusionMX/PHP/Java Servlet/ or something.

e.g. Using ColdFusionMX Flex <-> XML <-> ColdFusionMX <-> MySQL

Step1:Using HTTPService in Flex enables you to send XML Text Data to server side app.

Step2:Recieving the XML Text Data, using XML API(XMLParser, etc) in ColdFusionMX application enables you to convert it's XML Text Data to XML Document Object.

Step3:Using XML API in ColdFusionMX application, you can access each text value in each nodes in the XML Document Object, and bind it's text value to your SQL to retrieve data from MySQL.

Step4:Getting the data from MySQL, your ColdFusionMX application should convert it's data to XML text and response to your Flex application.

Flex and DB

Thanks for that information, but, why use that form for acceso to a DB, why not implement classes for access to a specifict DB, like other languajes
