I found some pages that had an export to .xls files but I want to stray away from that for now.
I am at the point where I'd like to incorporate tables of attribute data specific to my movie clips. For example, tables of demographic info specific to US counties. I'd like to make these data queriable by clicking on a specific county (mc). I've been reading some tutorials and it sounds like I should convert my data to xml (from a CSV or XLS) and then import the XML to my stage and start learning the ins/outs of calling on its values.
Am I starting down the right path? First off, I've not found a very straightforward way to get my data into XML. It originates in a DBF and i could easily convert it to tab-del text, csv or anything else.Also, should i rethink where I am starting with this and not use XML altogether, maybe using something else?

I have a flex3 component(US heat Map) which accepts a arrayCollection (state and value pairs). I need to create a webdynpro wrapper for this to use in Visual Composer 7.2.

I have managed to migrate components which require simple input data types like integer or string, but I am stuck at those which require complex structures like an array collection.

View 3 RepliesI am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
}
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!
