I have text being inserted into a textarea component dynamically from a MySQL database. The problem is getting characters like the ampersand (&) to show. Also the carriage returns are being processed twice (or the carriage return and newline characters are both being processed).
View 3 RepliesI have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?
I am very new to Flex&Action Script and now I have a question:How can I fill a Textfield dynamically?I have a CoverFlow with images and I want to add text to the image which is currently selected. The text is stored in the textArrayCollection and the index of the text hast the same index of the picture. For example: imagesArrayCollection(1) = rainbow.jpg textArrayCollection(1)= "Beautiful Rainbow over the hills." or something like that.

Basically, I have created a short exercise for an elearning programme that requires the user to drag and drop an object to a number of predetermined places - some of which are correct, some of which are incorrect places. Therefore, on release of the button, the object will either be placed in the correct position, or else return back to its starting place.This is my current code in AS 2.0:
on(press){
startDrag(this,false,0,0,400-this._width/2,450-this._height);

Im building this AIR app on Flash CS5, and I have this TileList that loads its data (images and names) from a database. I want to do a query with the name any item of the Tilelist when its clicked, so i need to send the name of that item to a PHP file that will execute the query. I am thinking of a function that loads the item name to a variable when the item is clicked. How can I send it to the PHP file and how would I load it to the query? The query I want on the php file goes something like this: Select lat, lon from mapdata where name=theVariable;
View 3 RepliesI am trying to query a sql database and echo the image into xml so I can view the queried image in flash.
I already know how to query and echo the image url from the database.
This is the code:
//The database is already queried at this point.
echo "<?xml version="1.01"?>
";
echo "<content>
[Code].....
The echoed xml in the first code produces a url link that contains a link to an image in the database. The flash is supposed to display the image on a flash movie clip call movieobject. I am having problem getting the image displayed in flash.
I'm having a problem with my flash-php-sql integration, my text output in flash keeps on returning NaN even if the data in mysql has a valid number(double).

I'm trying to display query data into multiple TextInput Fields in Flex.
<mx:TextInput id="stagInput" text="{acContacts}" width="170" x="120" y="74"/>
This is what I'm trying but all that displays is [object Object]
I think I need to define the database field I'm wanting to display, but I'm unsure how to do this as TextInput fields don't support dataField or labelField properties. Is there another property I don't know about? How do i go about fixing this?

I have arrays of dynamic text field that took data from an XML file from the database. Everything went well, except for the part that, when I insert a <a> </a> tag inside the XML file, the dynamic text alignment and lines went all weird. I wonder what's the problem with that...
Here's the XML code (I change the content):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<newsUpdate>
<entry>
<DESC>Some content replacement.</DESC>

I'm having some trouble getting around a security restriction of flex. Saving a file is apparently an action that can only be invoked upon user interaction. The problem is that after my user clicks on the save button, I need to perform a database query to get the data for the file I want to save.
Because Flex works asynchronous, I have to make the database call and then catch the ResultEvent in a different function. In that function, I no longer have the user's mouseclick event. How am I then supposed to save this file?

View 5 RepliesI have a client that is wanting me to create a flash website in which they can add products pages (product info, images, etc.) themselves after the website is completed. I will setup up the first few products then they will do the rest. Would I wanted to go with dynamic text and empty movie clips loading the images? If so how could I have this create a duplicate page that refers to the new text and image?

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a framework enabling me to programmatically add moving/scaling shapes and text areas over a flash video.
I'll have an XML file with text, starting times of animations, ending times of animations, positions, scales, etc. And want to use this file to animate stuff into place.
The idea is that I'll have a video with moving shapes. Multi-language content has to be put into the shapes and scale along with them.
framework that enables me to do such a thing?
I'm trying to run a sqlite query in flex to count the total number of records I believe its working fine but I just can't figure out how to display the results - all I get back is [object Object].

My cfm script pulls the contents of database fine. (a cfoutput reveals variables). In flash however I cannot see my dynamic variables.

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.load("LoadVars.cfm");
// In the LoadVars.cfm I have.
