In order to make a table of top scores, we need some place to store these top scores. There are a couple of ways to store this data (i.e. text file on your web host), but this tutorial focuses on using MySQL to do that. The data tables that will be used are not limited to just displaying high scores, but can be used to display any type of data. I assume that if you are interested in making a high scores table, that you are somewhat knowledgeable with Adobe Flash CS3/PHP/MySQL/XML and proficient in programming with Actionscript 3.0. But even if you don???t have the background, you can still learn a lot by going through this tutorial since I have provided a lot of the code (commented too!).
