Is there any way to create a “fast” connection between mysql and Flash that is still “secure”?

I’m playing around with a game that would allow players to move in 2d space around a tiled “world”. I’d like to show other players that are also playing on the screen at the same time, and have them be able to talk each other by hitting the space bar when you are close to them. For this I would need something relatively quick (maybe 300-500ms?) so when you hit space bar to talk to a guy that looks next to you, he isn’t really half a screen away already.

I’ve looked at AMFPHP for this…but it seems like it would not be fast enough..

Thanks for the Help

    You might want to look at Red5: faster than AMFPHP and a good bit more capable.

    Direct connections to MySQL are possible, but haven’t seen those widely deployed. AS-SQL appears to provide support for it, but there is some policy file work you need to do to make it work reliably and that might be a bit of a pain.
