SQL Connection using AIR - AS3

Question

Hi guys, I'm currently developing a mobile app that have to connect itself to a MySQL database.
Googoling I found this code:
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.data.SQLStatement;
import flash.net.Responder;
var connection:SQLConnection;
openDatabase();
function openDatabase():void
          var dbFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("mySQL.db");
          connection = new SQLConnection();
          connection.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, onOpen);
          connection.openAsync(dbFile, SQLMode.CREATE);
function onOpen(SQLEvent):void
          var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
          stat.sqlConnection = connection;
          stat.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS contacts (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, fname TEXT, lname TEXT, phone INTEGER)";
          stat.execute(-1, new Responder(selectItems));
function selectItems(SQLEvent):void
          trace("Select items!");
But there's a problem!
Adobe Flash CS 5.5's compile gives me this error:  "Access to a null or undefined property SQLMode"
Is there anyone that can help me?
Thanks!!!

SQLConnection and SQLStatement are for using a local SQLite database, not a remote MySQL database.  To get data out of a remote database, you need to call a service, which is written in a server-side language such as PHP, .Net, Java, ColdFusion, etc.
If you had a typo and actually meant a local SQLite database, then I can share some resource recommendations that helped me.
