Event Calendar, how should I go about this?

[GreenLantern]

I have to set up an list of events in sort of a calendar format. I'm trying to figure out how I should bring in the data.

The data will be stored in a mySQL database. Should I just bring it straight into flash with PHP, or should I use PHP to convert it to XML and then bring it to flash?

I'd say go with PHP. I've never done anything of the sort, but from my perspective, its less work and should simplify the process. Sorry I can't be of more assistance, maybe somebody with more experience with this will come along :)
