Anyway Flash remoting AMFPHP will continue to work also in AS3, with little modifications to our code.

This article walks you through building the PHP portion of the site as well as building a movie viewer in Flash using the Flex framework. To build a simple version of YouTube (or a MyTube, as it were), you should have a couple of tools in place.

To demonstrate the development process in Adobe Flex, we'll begin with a simple 'Hello World' example. If you're already familiar with XML and Flash, you're already ahead in the game. Using the IDE, Flex or Eclipse, we will create an app. The project includes many files, but we're going to focus particularly on the file that has a *.mxml file extension. You will be presented with two development views, a 'Source' and 'Design' view. The Design view is a WYSIWYG that constructs our *.mxml file. The Source view is the *.mxml file editor. You'll notice that the *.mxml file is an XML structured file (see Example 1).

have created a sample Flex application that lets you browse your MySQL databases and allows you to do simple filtering on that data.
