Html – Accessing a HTTPS website using a Flex/AIR HTML component

airapache-flexhtmlhttpspayment

Is it possible to access remote pages through https when using the HTML component inside a Flex AIR application?

I'm looking to build a credit card payment integration into an AIR application and the easy way would be to send the user to a payment service within a browser embedded into the application.

Yes, according to the doc, you can: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=ProgrammingHTMLAndJavaScript_05.html

Try with any https website:

<mx:HTML id="content">
    <mx:location><![CDATA[https://www.fldemo.nsf.gov/]></mx:location>
</mx:HTML>

You have to use the escaped unicode :

.breadcrumbs a:before {
  content: '\0000a0';
}

Mysql – Accessing thesql from Adobe flex/AIR

I'd have to disagree (though respectfully!) with Abdullah that building an ODBC client into AIR would "cause wierd problems and open up security issues" -- that's often how it's done (e.g., Java and .NET, both of whose runtimes package various ODBC clients) -- but both posters are right: the only way's coding some sort of a service interface into your AIR application (using Flex classes like WebService, HTTPService, and so on) and a complementary server-side interface (e.g., REST via PHP, which would then connect up with your MySQL database). For simple apps, it can be a bit of a pain, but for the moment, that's all we gots. :)

Best of luck!
