Hello,

If I have a Flash application running in some embedded player, how would  
Flash then call Rails? I’d like to be able to make database calls and  
reuse all my logic in Rails? How would ActionScript call Rails code?

Thanks in advance.

Hey mate,

Check out [http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/rubyonrails/index.htm](http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/rubyonrails/index.htm).

I used it on [http://www.manorthemoney.com.au](http://www.manorthemoney.com.au) to connect flash and rails  
and  
it worked great.

Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Cheers,  
Carl.

Excellent. I was beginning to think that AMFPHP was the only solution  
to connecting to the DB easily and cheaply using Flash.

Thanks!
