i am trying to build a web application wherein i have two display data in two text fields. one text will display the Resort name and the other one will display the URL related to the resort.There are only two fields.
View 5 RepliesI have a Flex-based client app which "talks" to the back-end through BlazeDS. In one of my use cases there will be a so called "Photo Wall" view, which will present a number of the most recent photos, submitted from people and for locations the user is following (Facebook-like).
The thing is, the data in this photo wall has to be filtered by "All", meaning no filter, "Friends", meaning friends that the user is following, and "Locations", meaning locations the user is following. If I get data from the server only once (when the ALL filter is selected by default), I will store it locally, and the next time a user clicks on a filter, this local collection will be filtered locally. The problem is that I can't predict how many of all recent photos are coming from friends, and how many from locations, thus I may end up with a page that shows only one photo, where a minimum of 5 photos should always be present. I clearly don't want to deal with partial fetching and stuff like that.
The other way is making two separate requests to the server initially, one to get a collection of recent photos from friends, and one for locations. Thus I will make sure I have the bare minimum of photos for the filtered pages. When data arrives, the client will merge those two collections, sort by date, and voila there is the "ALL" collection (of course, repeating photos will have to be pruned while merging)Third, making this same thing down at the server level, by making two separate queries and then merging them.
Can anyone help me with getting a message that is said in flash (like a game) go to a mysql database?

View 1 RepliesIm new to data input using flash,how to connect to a mysql database.
View 5 RepliesI'm wondering if the following can be done with Flash -
- can a swf contain it's own database that the user can add, delete, read?
- while the view is online, entering and interacting with the data- is it being sent back and forth to the server?
- can this database be protected with some sort of encryption that is only unlocked by the user's code?
- and so that if the user emailed the swf or the db file from within the swf, only a person with the key could access the data?
I am reading one tutorial :- But I can't understand what is "Gateway.php" and all such things. I am a beginner in Flash.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash project that connect with a server. I get all data from the server as raw tables as XML. So I have to do the server logics client side. (Don't ask why!)
I have looked for a framework or some code base that have solved this. A framework that can do mapping of keys asf. Basically a frame work that stores the data and handles retrieving of the data like SQL.
Ie. I can get user with the userid without iterating through all the instances. This gets more complex when you have more id in the same table.
So is there a data framework for flash out there?
(the HTML 5 sqlLight would be great if more browsers supported it)
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
View 9 RepliesI am a beginner using AS3. I'm trying to set up a simple Flash SWF validation of 2 text input boxes' data. In one box the user enters a username and in the second box they enter a password. This is sent to an ASP page which checks the name and password with a SQL Server database on my site. If their name and password are in the database, then the ASP send back to the SWF, "YES" and if not, "NO". The AS3 could then use an if/else: if "YES" then gotoAndPlay(2), or else display a message.The ASP script/page is completed. I've tested it with another program, and it works to check the DB and get back data.My AS3 is not working.e AS3 script to get it working.Here's the script so far. It get a trace of: [object URLRequest]. So I do not get any data back.
ActionScript Code:
stop()
nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextBtnClick, false, 0, true);

I have to fetch data from database into the flash..
View 1 RepliesI've got the stop command in and the get url, what I wanted to know is if there is a line of code or something to dealy the fetch for like 5seconds? Also how after adding an animation do I keep it there, for instance I have three animations all starting at different parts and I need to extend the first one so the graphic stays in place. I tried just adding frames to each animations layer to extend it, but it fouls up the animation.

Is it possible for flash to accept value from a database?There is a database storing values "postions" and "descriptions" (there are 2 coloumns named so to store the values).In flash I want to accept the values entered in these 2 coloumns. How to go about it? If I create 2 dynamic text boxes with variable names "p" and "d" respectively and an "accept" button on the scene, what script should I add to the button so that these text boxes accept the values?
so my 2 queries are:
1) how do I send the value from the database to flash?
2) how do I accept the same in flash?

View 3 RepliesIs there a tutorial somewhere that tells/shows how to display an image from a db. I have my image paths in a mysql db and I am using php to display my other text fields. I just haven't been able to get my images to show. Below is the code that I am using so far. Here is my actual goal, I am trying to have a flash document the has a list in the datagrid that is connected to a mysql db. I have successfully done this. When a user clicks on a product in the datagrid it populates the details below the grid and I have done so successfully. What I now need is to show a picture of the product in the details section. I would also like to see how to show different images for different vendors, each vendor has its own image size, so if I put just one image placeholder then some of the images will be scewed. I need something that shows image in placeholder 1 if company=1, show image in placeholder 2 if company=2, etc.

It will not load the image from the database using ASP. I set Images as a variable from ASP. It was displaying "images/img1.jpg" instead of image visually.
