Plan a game in AS3, Need help

hi going make quite big game/app in as3 , need point me in right direction, know as3 , have programmed many games.

 

this game going include multiplayer , going use smartfox this.

 

now area need infomation on servers holding player details. (etc. level, cash)

 

first off:

 

how set server? use mysql? webpage can connect game?

how connect via as3? have use mysql select , mysql files find player send there details?

 

basicly need know how games farmvile setup servers hold player details because have same game.

this limitedly on topic flash discussion. belongs in either dreamweaver or cold fusion or server side technology area.

 

that aside, if plan on having large scale game, you're going need step , quite bit of learning , research needs.

 

considering best possible scenario, you're not doing professionally , quality inconsequential, first steps first selecting server-side language , database. sending data directly game server. i'll go out on limb , assume it'll small mid size game, utilizing web host grants permission use servers purpose.

 

probably overwhelmingly rampant a-typical solution php scripting , mysql database, many reasons won't into. means you'll need learn both server side language (like php), , entirely separately, database , query language (sql). these provided host out there.

 

for learning, development , sandboxing, i'd recommend installing server locally. it's easier develop , debug. simple free solution full web server, database , scripting language wamp (windows apache mysql php) installer:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/

 

once learn scripting, proper database setup , usage, game communicate directly web host. can either pass game information flash directly through scripts (most you) or in more advanced/optimized ways services (most not first game). depending on how it, server games model (responsible data).

 

so here should take @ various server side languages , see syntax best. you'll need learn database , how use it. server side languages come way of interfacing databases that'll natural part of learning of server side scripting anyhow.

 

you can read php here:

and mysql:
