ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving And Loading To A Database?
Jan 12, 2010
hey people wondering if there is a way to use AS3 to save and load to a database.
Specifically I have created a flash program for a teacher that runs tests for her students. When a student loads up the .swf they are prompted for their name. Ideally we would like to be able to save the progress of a student after he/she has completed a test and then use that data later. Is there a way to save data like this and call upon it at a later time?

I have a problem with saving the £ symbol to a mysql database.I am running a flex front end, with a php + mysql backend When I save a record from flex, the string gets sent to the server as "This amount is £10" php views the string as above, and when it gets saved into the DB, it gets saved as "This amount is £10".
My understanding is that this is correct based on MySQL or PHP is appending a whenever the £ is used I now retrieve the above record, and it gets sent to flex as "This amount is £10". Flex correctly displays this in a textarea as "This amount is £10" I change another field in the same record in flex, and re-save the transaction. The string now gets sent to the server as "This amount is £10" The record is now saved into the DB as "The amount is £10". Each time the record is re-saved, this effect snowballs.

I have a flash application that communicates with php to save data to nvarchar(1200) column. However when I change to different language support i.e locale, and type into the flash app the letters are good but in the db they are saved as question marks instead of the reall letters.

i've seen a few good examples to save out a png of the current flash display area from a webbrowser from a flash, such as:[URL]what they normally do is stream the image data through a png encoder to a web server somewhere and then decode the image data back to current webbrowser and then trigger the web browser SAVE function, by prompting user to select a path and file name to save, like a download.however, the difference is when you click that save button, you can save your png image directly to a certain location with a fixed file name, such as on your local computer:

NOTE: I want to save the actual bytecode for the AS3 class, NOT an instance of it! A class is being loaded in externally and extracted via a URLLoader and then Loader.loadBytes. A single Class is then extracted out of that Application Domain and used in the project. Now, rather than saving the entire Loader (either via SharedObject or other means of storage) is it possible to "extract out" the bytecode of the needed class and all dependencies, which can then be "injected" back into an empty shell or something to be reused when needed?

I want to develop a backend admin solution to save images for a post using some multiupload flash uploader. I mean that kind o f uploader, where when you click on browse and than in the open dialogue box you can choodse mulitple files using CTRL plus LEFT MOUSE CLICK).I would like to save every new image to the database. With saving I mean, creating a new row for every item(image) in my table called images:1.id (automaticallyncreasing)2.file_name3.user_who_uploaded_that_bookI would like also to limit the number of files that can a user uplaod (e.g. max 20 files) somewhere in the config file.

How do i save an array of objects, like this: [{n:1,bb:4},{n:2,bb:4,r:1},{n:6,bb:7},...] to a database? I was thinking i would have to convert it to string, but if i do that, when i retrieve it from the database, how am i going to use it?
EDIT: forgot to mention that the objects can contain an array of objects as well, but there won't be any more arrays beyond that point.
[{n:1,bb:4},{n:2,bb:4,r:1},{n:6,bb:7},{arr:[{a:11,b:2},{a:11,b:2},...],r:1},...]

I have created a simple flash animation for my employer. I basically have a square that changes color depending on which of three buttons are clicked. This is replicated about 30 times on the page. There is also about 15 circles that have a toggle button created so that when you click on the circle, they change between two colors. As I said, a very simple application.
Now, I need to save the data so that whenever someone new opens the swf, the current color combination is displayed. My way of thinking, with my limited AS3 experience, is that each button click, in addition to changing the color of a movie clip, should also send the data to a server. Then when someone opens the application fresh, I can use the URLLoader to load the most current data.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing it completely? I think I can figure out the URLLoader, but what code would I use to create the text file or xml file?Here is a snippet of my code:
var rtmColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var okColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var usColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
[code].....
By clicking on either the rtm_13335, ok_13335, or us_13335 buttons, they will change the f13335 movie clip to the appropriate color (blue, green, or red). The default color is green.
What I would like to do is make the movie clip red, for example, then another person opens the swf, and the movie clip is red as opposed to the default green because I saved the current state to a text or xml file.

I want to have a xml file for my configuration and so i have to load it from the same directory the swf file lies in and save it afterwards. I saw articles about filestreams in flex but my compiler didn't allow me to use the filestream. I use the open source flex sdk

I've made a small application in Flash CS4 that I use when I'm teaching. Part of the application allows me to 'write' on draggable 'post-it' notes (using a draw function) and another part allows me to type text onto similar 'post-it' notes. how I could save the data that is written or typed in and then re-load it on another occasion? Am I out of my depth?My AS3 is probably intermediate level, I have some experience with SWF Studio and I'm beginner level with php/mySQL.

I've searched load of threads for info on this because for what I'm doing I need to save data to the local disk and then load it back up again as required. I'm using a local shared object to save data to and this works fine. Getting it back out again seems less straightforward.[code]Nothing appears to happen at all. The program continues with no traced output at all.

I'm trying to save a change to a text document (In this case a variable "Title" just to test) and then view the changes from another swf movie... In the end I'm hoping to build a client updatable flash site. In particular menu items... feature items & prices.
A Recap: a client types in the items, php/flash saves the changes to the text document, and site visitors can views those changes.
Something in my code isn't clicking:
My PHP is:
Code:
<?php
$Title = $_POST['Title'];
$toSave = "Title=".$Title;

Ok I wrote an application where I have panels that the user can draw on, kind of like paint, but they can create panels. Now I want them to be able to save and load their work. Using Quasimondo's bitmap exporter, I was able to save a bitmap (200x200), and the application prompts the user where they were to save the image file. However, my problem is that the user will probably have 6-12 panels to save, and so I want the program to save all those panels so they can be loaded later.
Now in order to load, I don't want the user to manually select each panel to load. I want the user to select one file and it will load all the images into the panels. I was thinking about maybe loading a zip file and flash would extract the images and load them, but I don't know if that's possible. I think the user would need to select an XML file,which would direct Flash to what files to load and in what order. For this, and I'm assuming when it saves the flash application/php, it would need to write a new xml file.So I guess what I need to know how to do is:- How do I get flash to save several images to the server or the users hard drive- flash to generate an xml file- is there any way to make flash combine all the files into one file so that the user doesn't have to deal with several files?

I have a project where the user uploads a large 300dpi image, then manipulates it (drag it, rotate it, position it). And the user can reuse this 300 dpi image, basically to make something like a t-shirt pattern. Then when the user is ready, they save this t-shirt pattern, and the save format is a large 300dpi png. This saved png file is for printing. Now I figure I can have PHP take bitmap data (as binary I assume) and the php can create the png. Is it a good idea to use Flash for this? I will have to scale down the users loaded 300dpi image so they can position. Then I assume scale it back up when it comes time to save Does anyone think Flash can't handle this?

the short version of what i need to do - via AS3 and PHP - is a user can come to this project and draw something. drawing's no problem, that's done. my issue is figuring out how to take that drawing data, converting it into something i can save to my database ... then reload said data and recreate it on the stage when the user "loads" it.
i guess i'm just searching for a way to take drawn data (just using typical as3 drawing methods) and breaking it down to a string, then bringing that string back in and recreating it. i'm not super versed in ByteArrays - which i suspect is where my answer lies.
user doesn't need to adjust any of this after it's loaded, fwiw. i'd just like to send this drawing data out - then bring it back in and place it back on the stage.

So I want to do saving and loading for variables. I.E. I want to save a variable by pressing the save button. When you use the "load" button, the variable is what it was when it was saved. I've tried this but it didn't work...
Code:
//Code on the frame
var saveState = SharedObject.getLocal("Cookie");
//Code on the save button
on (release) {
_root.save.gotoAndPlay(2);
savefile.data.blah = _root.blah;
savefile.flush();
}
//Code on the load button
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(3);
_root.blah = savefile.data.blah;
}

I know this can be done, but not sure how. I have seen a program that basically has its own fscommands and must compile them itself. Does anyone know how you would do this. The program i refer to is [URL] flash studio pro. There are other programs out there like this but these all cost money for commercial use.

I'm trying to load the variables from a database into my flash file but I'm unsure what to use. I know for XML it's
var myXML:XML;
myXML= new XML(e.target.data);
but i'm not sure what the type is if it is coming from a database? I sent it the database via php and need to receive it back into flash. Even a reference so I can go look, I'm just not sure what class to begin with.

initially when i want to load data from database, it will output all the elements from a tablenow i create a timer to make sure it will query from the database every interval to keep track of the updated content, however, the problem comes in...when i delete a data from there, the data was somehow 'cached' into flash, meaning, it wasn't updated at all.weird thing is, if i port the data over to xml and update the file, the flash would show the updated data correctly
