What I am after is to be able to connect to a SQL database directly or via a ASP Page (whichever is easier) to pull out some variables and display them as text in a text field. Basically we have a news section on our intranet (stored in an sql) and I want to be able to pull these out and put them into flash. I have looked on the internet for examples, but everything that I do don't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best tool available in flash mx to connect to databases and do we have a tutorial for that.
View 1 RepliesThis is what we have... a new Actionscript developer (Me) and a seasoned Visual Basic/ASP developer. We've also got some SQL Servers... We need to write a web application (Flash) that checks user authentication (User Name and Password) against a SQL Server database before allowing the user to continue through the program. After the user completes various components of the eLearning program, a brief quiz will follow. At the end of the whole eLearning program, a lengthy quiz will be given and those results will be scored and stored in a database.
I need to know what is required to do this... this being the database connectivity? I've been seeing PHP/MySQL tutorials but is there some way to hook up into ASP/SQL Server? Furthermore, how exactly does this work? I've read that with PHP, flash will write and store variables in PHP which is then used to get results from the database. I'm not exactly sure tho. If any one can point me to a great tutorial that explains everything about ASP/SQL Server..
I am trying to connect to a MySQL database using PHP in Flash CS3 using Actionscript 3.I have written the PHP file and some AS3 code and it displays the information but for some reason it also displays the tags.[code]The picture below shows what happens when I test the movie.I also need to add buttons to move to the next and previous record and to add or edit the database via the Flash interface?
View 7 RepliesI have a website in which the content on the index page is controlled by a PHPMyAdmin database. I want a a flash "movie" at the top, that can take the data from the site, and slide-show it until a user clicks on a specific link, in which the movie will direct itself to the clicked event.
The page is for a booking/promotion concert company. They want a "Featured Shows", "Calendar", and flash file that all are interconnected. One page. Does anyone know how to do this, where to find tutorials, or so on? Note, i'm not wanting to WRITE data to the database, I just want to GET data to post on the flash file.

I got the script to work perfectly, even got to register a few hundred members to the site. However, my old host had a bandwidth limit of 400gb so I had to move to a new provider. I transferred all the files with no problems, and even setup the database properly. My new problem is registering... I can login just fine using an existing account I had made. But I go to try and make a new account and I get an "undefined" error.[code]...
I'm developing a desktop application in Flash, but I can't seem to find any tutorials that aren't based on FLEX to connect my application to a database file.

I'm still learning AS3 and am trying to set up validating user (text box) input of 2 items (name and password) by checking with an SQL Server Database on my website.I have the ASP page set up using a standard request/response.write script. It works I've tested the ASP, and it works. The ASP receives the 2 variables, hopefully each in a name-value pair, and checks with the DB, then if the name and password received from the Flash SWF match a name and password in the DB, sends back a "YES" and, if not, sends back a "NO".I'm having difficulty getting the AS3 written and working correctly. Here's what I have so far that displays errors, causes a flickering when previewed and doesn't yet work.

I have moved on now to where this is clearly a Flash security thing.I have a flash client that attempts to connect to an open socket on the same host as the one on which it lives.I am able to connect successfully from inside the Flash IDE, and when I run the swf movie locally on my machine, after granting it security clearance in the white list it connects as well. However, when I call the movie via the browser (URL...) it fails to connect.The socket reports that a connection attempt is made but immediately disconnects.I have a crossdomain policy file that looks like this: in the root directory of the host.[code]In the flash movie I have a line that looks like this: System. security. loadPolicyFile (URL...);And I'm thinking maybe that's where the problem is, but the documentation on how to use this method is not entirely clear. I'm in Flash CS3
View 1 RepliesI was just doing some testing using PHP sockets and Flash. I used several things, one thing is this tutorial:I have the server running, and when I run the swf via Flash it connects fine. But when I run it from the browser it can't connect.. Because that Tutorial is in AS2, I also wrote a quick client to connect with AS3, but I'm having the exact same problem.. it only connects if I run it through flash.Here's an example of the basic code:
Code:
var s:Socket = new Socket('my IP', 5445);
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, getData);

using kirupa's tutorial " Connecting to a Web Service using Flash" i have added Flash Builder's library into my flash project. I am using HTTPService class of Flex in my flash project. If I repeat this process in separate blank as3 file, its works perfectly fine. But when I only add the flex library in my working flash project, it stops working. No error, no warning. I am really confused. Where should i start troubleshooting? Just adding the library starts the problem, but when I add this in a new as3 flash file, it works fine. All settings are same in both files.
