  <para>
    The MySQL ActionScript class follows the same API as MySQL, even down
    to the same arguments to the same function names. This enables a
    Flash movie to have direct access to a MySQL
    database. Traditionally Flash movies have had no database
    support, they either had to use arrays, or use XML to communicate
    to an application specific external database daemon.
