Saving form fields in a MySQL DB usinf Flex - mysql

Question

I have a MySQL database, and i created a DB and named it 'PERSONDB'. Within that DB, i have created a table and named it Person. This table has 3 fields. id,name,age.
Now i need to save some values from my flex website to the mySQL 'PERSONDB' that i created.
How can i do this in Flex (Flax builder 4.6)
Note: I have added 2 fields name and age, in the Flex project and when the user clicks on the Button i need those values to be saved in the DB. how can i do this.

asSQL ( http://code.google.com/p/assql/ ) is a good approach to using mySQL. It allows for direct access to mySQL from any application either in AIR or web based. I use this pretty regularly in my coding so I don't have to write a Java or PHP as a back end unless there is a good reason to have a back end in place.
OK, here is the code I use:
<assql:MySqlService id ="DB"
hostname ="localhost"
username ="user"
password ="password"
database ="db"
autoConnect="true"
connect ="handleConnected(event)"
sqlError ="handleError(event)"/>
private function getSelectedData() : void
{
DB.send("SELECT * from table WHERE number = '" + number.text + "'");
}
That's all there is too it. The top part sets up the connection and is in the section of the code. The rest is in the part (ActionScript). Of course, it can be done in straight ActionScript as well, but this solution used MXML.
