I need some help with a flash app im currenctly programming. I have a management flash app that does some operations in a MySql databases. I have had some problems, but for the most part, I have been able to press on. I'm a flash AS3 newb, so bear that in mind.
My actual problem is that I need to do a "Search" module, and I need it to print several results at once. I am although unsure how to get the results on flash. what I have been doing now is calling a php script that, after doing its operation, does something like (for example):
Is it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
I have made the following script to search in a Mysql database. The script works fine the first time you search. Second time if you try to search for some thing else the old search result keep appearing. Is there some way that i can clear the search result when ever i initiate in a new search?
I am trying to create a search field in AS3 to search keywords in a dynamic text field of the same flash movie, where the text is loaded from an XML file.
how tp use databases with Flash CS4 ?I have created a form, an email page and a username/password protected pages, but I cannot find any tutorials that would help me how to connect to a database.
I have a map as a button in flash and a database in access, how can I show the data in asscess in flash , now i know there is no a direct link from access to flash and I have to use PHP, ASP, etc.... But really I am not a programmer and I don't want to be .. so any easier way to do this?
just like facebook game, I see that even I am playing facebook social game, it still have some downloading when I click on an item for the first time, or just by doing something new. Is that people can divide flash into many parts and connect them when they need?
I am fairly new to actionscript 3, and coding in general, and I am trying to build a music application with a user account system, using which each different user can access their own music files.
I have found many tutorials online on how to create music players and playlists, user login systems, but nothing that combines these into one application.
[URL] I got partial success with the tutorial above, but couldn't figure out a few things.
1) How to save the date and time to the database? Based on web search result on how to find date or time in APS, I thought I could do
[Code]...
but the ASP generated errors on the 2 lines.
2) When executing the file (getURL("http://yourSite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post"); }), it always opens the processForm.asp file in a new window. Can it be executed in the same window or just being hidden?
The tutorial is old, and I wonder if there are new ways to do the things with CS4 or CS5?
I 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 don't know a lot about flash, but I do know asp.net and javascript, and c#, etc.
I have designed some screens in flash that will be loaded up on a plasma tv. What I need to be displayed in the screens I designed is data from my sql database.
Assigning the values to the boxes is no problem, but what is the format I should use to connect the flash screens to that database. what would be the main lines of code?
I am trying to create a search tool, but at the moment it will only search for things (within an xml list) if you type the exact word or phrase...I need a way to make it more generic, so you can search for anything and it can find similar spellings of the word etc...
[URL]I client want some thing like this. User will search a word and application searches that word in a opened page and highlight it. This is a Flash application and uses php at back-end to generate XML.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a search box that searches an XML document and returns the results. So far I know how to do a search that returns exact matches but I want to make it so if someone typed in say "Manager" it would return results that Also had "Sales Manager" or "Account Manager".
Currently I have
PHP Code:
var authorList:XMLList = xmlData.job.(title == citySearch.text);
Which only works with exact results. What is the best way to get around this? Do I just need to bring in everything from the XML file and then compare it using .search()?
I am building this application. I have a psd file withe a few layers in it. Now I need certian actions to be performed in flash on events occuring on the layers of the psd file that involve retrieving data from a database.
In Eclipse (and Flash/Flex Builder) you get the option with Ctrl+Shift+F to do a file search and look for a regular expression. Would be a real handy thing to know.
I want to find the word negate if it appears in a Flex/java comment like the following:
I am trying to figure out how to access a database and send it to php
I thought first i should hard code it this is the php file i am using[code]...
If I can understand where I am going wrong here then i think i can build off of it and get my database working.This is the second time i have tried php database and actionscript.
I'm doing an application adobe air with Flash CS4, in as3 , I'm really don't need a database, but a small file database it gives me some adventages, just I need a little file, with 2 o 3 tables for a few data, no much that 50 I think. I look for some kind of database that don't need instalation(important), if with a dll, or something similar (it's only for windows). I google for the last 4 hours but only I find mysql, and I don't want any kind of motor working. MS Access, it would be ok, but I haven't found information.
