I have decided to try and write a Flex library that will be used to connect Flex applications to MySQL natively.

Some of the current approches include consuming XML documents produced by other languages like PHP, JAVA and others.

I will make it expose methods like those found in MySQL Connector/NET.

The main motivation is to reduce the languages used in a single application (or package) and gaining more speed (not 100% sure on this though). Also I hope to gain more knowledge on Flex and ActionScript 3.
