ActionScript 1/2 :: XML Database - How To Make Flash To Detect Entries
Feb 7, 2010
I have this flash game. In it there is one movie clip called address_group. In address_group I have another MC called address. In address I have many text fields. Their info is being loaded from a xml file called database.xml. In the timeline where my address_group MC is located I have placed this code to load the XML data to flash:
var planet_title = new Array();
var planet_subtitle = new Array();
var chevron1_txt = new Array();
var chevron2_txt = new Array();
var chevron3_txt = new Array();
[Code] .....
My problem is that when there is a second <planet title_planet="Name"....> the new info from the second input which should be a new entry which means that I want when there is a second input this address_group to duplicate and in it to be placed the info from the second entry. But it doesn't do that it loads the second info over the first one in the flash. So my question is how to make flash to detect if there is something written as second entry or third or forth and so on... and than when it detects to duplicate this address_group Movie Clip and in it to put the info from the second entry if they are 3 to make 3 copies of the MC and put in each the different information....

I am acquiring the contents of a table to fill a dropdown box in a Flex 3 application:

I am still working to fix a FIRED developers code he left us with. The code in question goes out and request information from a database, places it into arrays and also checks session. THis is what I think it should be doing. I am getting a bunch of undefined returns ( prints out in the assigned text fields). Is there a way to make Flash WAIT until all the data has been retrieved from the database. This is out first theory.

Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn?

Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?

I'm working in a new project that needs to store some numbers world wide, but not using a MySQL database or stuff like that. I'd like to use a text file.The thing goes like this:A user enters the flash page, where he clicks a "+" button that adds 1 to a variable that will keep growing. Then the user will be able to click on another button that says "add to total worldwide", that will hopefully add the amount displayed to a number stored somewhere in a text file. Then that total will be loaded in the same file.In that way, a lot of people around the world will be able to add clicks to the total ammount. I've seen txt files storing variables such as the one of the hitcount tutorial.

I want to make an offline desktop app. that stores my company's customers and their data in an XML file, just like a database. so that I'm able to load, edit (create new customers, add to their data) and save it into the XML file which is stored locally. i then want to make a Local Connection to the XML file somehow, so that others in the company can do the same from their PC.. Can anybody tell me if this is possible at all? (making a flash app that writes XML files to any location on a PC that only has network.. edit XML files through Local connection function in flash).

I have been using AS3 for approximately 1 year now, and although I havent really done any major projects with it, I am fairly confident using it. However, There is 1 part that I am very curious about. At the moment, I am using the design section of flash cs5 to create my assets. I am trying to make database driven applications, and the problem I have run into with using the design section is that you must manually program each symbol.
For example, If I wanted to make a dropdown menu, and a php file was passing the variables such as "amountOfSections = 5", Then 5 sections would be displayed. This is fine to do using alpha to control what is visible etc, but if there where 5000 dropdown menu items, I would have to physically place 5000 dropdown items onto the stage. I know that it is possible to use as3 to create objects AS THEY ARE NEEDED, but I have no idea how to do it.

a problem I'm having with passing some validation in a form im creating.For the sake of getting to the point, I have two Textfields in my form lets say email_txt and friendsEmail_txt. What I would like to do is validate the two fields to make sure the user does not put the same email address in both fields.Im sure I need to do this via a function but I'm lost as to how to go about it. I googled for about an hour and perhaps im not qeurying it properly as I could not find any answers - Im sure there is one.

My AS3 class has some quirks. It's sort of a guestbook, so someone can add a 'question'under a certain category. When I publish the results in a dynamic textfield or when I trace the results I get the existing XML values and some undefined ones.This is my AS3 script:
Code:
//Class name is AddQuestionMenu

I want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.

I'm trying to figure out how to generate an array whose elements are each arrays to make a quick loading database of sorts.the main array could essentially be something like "employees" while each employee would have demographic data like age, salary, gender, etc.In some cases the information on some employees would be greater than others, and options created by "push" would imply the number of elements within each employee array would be variable until generated.[code]But I get the feeling this type of array as it is currently described doesn't lend itself well to adding new elements in the way I've described.My goal is once an employee's information has been entered and saved, I can call up their info by array number like aEmployee[2], and if employee 2's name is Bob, then Bob's name would appear in the text field, along with all the other fields related to Bob's array, such as being male, 42 years old, and living in Witchita Kansas.Would I modify a multidimensional array, or do I want an array within an array, and is there a way to add "arrays" as elements?

I have researched this issue all over and most people say use the .refresh() method to update a datagrid after updating or adding a new record. This does not do anything. So, my issue is this. I have a mySQL database hosted I am connecting via PHP, I have 1 mxml file and 2 php files (I know I can use just 1 but I am learning and this was easier for me to use for troubleshooting). The issue is no matter what I change on the datagrid the update does not show on the datagrid unless I close out of IE and reopen it. I can refresh or open the page in another window and the update does not show. I have to exit entirely and restart in order for any updates or additions to show.Here is my licenseTracker.mxml

I am working on a function to generate a form at runtime in Flex based on a call to the DB. The call to the DB returns the field types, id, tooltips etc as an arraycollection, the arraycollection is then parsed in order to ascertain what control to display based on the type field in the array - this bit works fine.However, i am stuck on trying to save the form fields back to the database using a CFC.my form rendering code is as follows but how do i save values entered back to the database? rendering code..

public var getglobalprofileb:ArrayCollection;

For a number of reasons (which I wont bore you with) we may have to interface our FMS servers over an NFS mesh to share disks. For example we have 6 core sites around the world and we want all core sites to see each others primary content store. Whilst we sort out the commercials for Aspera or similar to handle file replication properly, I had the idea to use <streams> to remotely mount each others disks (The disk systems here present themselves as NAS via NFS)So before you say No, don't do it im not sure I have a lot of choice at present.Its a large global core/edge deployment and the edges are implicitly configured to their origin.If i DID want to do it how many <streams> can I define before the server ignores them?

I'm learning Flash to make a website for one of the companies I work forI have a decent portfolio page that loads content information from an .xml document. I'm just thrilled that it works, but my boss wants a little more.He wants to be able to scroll through the entries with left and right keystrokes. In the glow of my recent array-building triumph, I told him, 'sure, I can do that!' ...but I can't. I can't figure out how to make the left and right keys go to previous or next entries. With previous problems I've been able to find an answer by searching google, but I'm stuck on this one.
Here's my code:
var titleArray:Array = new Array();
var descriptionArray:Array = new Array();
