I found the problem and solved it. I was using MAMP Pro.
Under Server -> Mysql I needed to uncheck "allow local access
only" even though it's local (also this may be unsafe for some
users). side-note I also put the jdbc driver (
mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar ) in the Library->Java ->
extensions folder. CS3 Dreamweaver does not depend on Java to make
the connect, where flex (a java application) needs the jdbc driver
to make the connection.
