or something better to replace something with..</p>
<p><strong>some classes that would be nice to add to this list:</strong><br />
- advanced key binding class similar to that of valve games..<br />
- mouse class?<br />
- hybrid BitmapData/Bitmap class thats nicely written with a buffer etc.<br />
- shapes like stars, diamonds&#8230; great for particle effects.<br />
- text management? speech bubbles, bitmapData text etc</p>
<p>Note *:<br />
I labeled the database classes with * because its more efficient and secure to use AMF protocol to connect to php then have php connect to the database.</p>
<p>This way the user will not have access to a database password if they decompile the swf/use a packet sniffer.<br />
Also the AMF protocol is compressed binary, it uses alot less bandwidth then xml formatted results etc. (xml is still nice for usability reasons like rss feeds, SEO etc)</p>
<p>However you can still use the direct connection libs, just keep in mind the above and create a MySql account with SELECT only privileges.</p>
