Summary

 <  Day Day Up  >  

In this chapter, we covered some of the methods for getting data into a Flash application. The importance of choosing the best data access solution in Flash is based on when the data is loaded, if the data will be persistent and if so, where the data is stored and maintained . Several solutions were presented to load external data. They include the loadVariables() method, the LoadVars object, and FlashVars and query string. SharedObject object and LocalConnection object enable us to store data locally and share data across Flash movies.

You might have noticed that we covered only those solutions that had no server-side dependencies. Additional topics related to data access in Flash with related server-side solutions will be covered in Chapters 12 “15.
