mySQL and Coldfusion are currently running on my own OS X machine, 
but I don't know what they will be on when I move to a commercial 
server. (If would need to be a host that also offers Flash 
Communications server.)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the scenario you are suggesting. 
(This is all fairly new to me -- I know some Lingo and am learning 
Coldfusion, but that's all-- my background is in animation for 
feature films.)

I don't understand how I would use the JDBC driver. I assume you're 
suggesting I use it somehow with the Internet version of my project 
(which will be finished before I attempt the offline version.)

I also don't understand how using the JDBC driver with the Internet 
version would help me with the offline shockwave version, which would 
be Director and embedded Flash talking to Valentina (with no access 
to any kind of servers - it's for kids in classrooms without an 
Internet connection.)

If you (or anyone else) could describe the scenario you are 
suggesting for the Internet and offline versions, I would greatly 
appreciate it.


Thanks for your time.
