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.
View 7 RepliesI am accessing my MySQL database through Flash using AS3. I am using php scripts to access my database and send and receive variables. Everything is working fine. No problems there. The problem, or rather the question is, is it possible for flash to run a script to access a database without a webserver running on the machine? Isn't there some sort of plugin or adapter or interface class available in flash that will allow me to do that?

View 2 RepliesI am making an online game with AS2 and my method for storing the location of users is with a table with columns: name, x, y. The table has many rows.
I have a PHP script which makes a query in the DB for all x and y locations from -6x to +6x and -4y to +4y (Relative to the user).
If a user exists at that location, then they will be printed on a list that will end up looking something like this:
&username1=John&x1=16&y1=8&username2=Fred&x2=16&y2 =9
I want to know how to make a loop which takes the information printed from the PHP script and use some sort of efficient loop to take username1, username2, username3, etc. and place them at the x and y positions listed. I will use the "loadVariables" function to get the variables from the PHP script.
The main thing that confuses me is how I am to make a loop which manipulates the variable name. I am thinking of using OO with which I can do username(1), username(2), etc. but I am not familiar with actionscript so it would be difficult.
I also need to be able to place an object from my library to the screen and when I did a search, I could not find how to do this.
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):

View 1 RepliesI would like to have a Flash Application (not air) to connect to a local database. Air is not only getting unsupported by Adobe in LINUX but besides, it has serious problems and miss implementation with SQLite. So we want to connect to a local MySQL database. This application should be simple, so we do not want to also have an unnecessary web server (also local) to make a middle communication between the flash app and the MySQL server. There is this driver that allow to communicate Flash with MySQL [URL] Question is: Would it be any problem using this approach when installing the whole application to each client? (because we also in the installation should install a MySQL server).
View 1 RepliesFirst time poster and new to the board. I have been asked to solve a difficult problem and am seeking guidance in completing the task. Basically, to give you an overview, I need to build a custom tracker that counts how many clicks per month a particular link(s) is/are hit within a website I built. I used Flash (ActionScript 2.0)and XML to build the website along with pulling in external swf files as needed. I have an idea of how to create the MySQL table using myPHPAdmin. I know I want to build an actionScript class to pull into the core swf that holds a majority of the functionality, and to create a PHP file that will pass the info to the simple MySQL database AND send an email out on the last day of each month with the totals from the database. Then I need to reset the database to 0 for each link that we are tracking on the 1st of every month.
My goal is to make it as reusable as possible in case I am asked to follow any more links within the site for documentation. Does anyone have some good documentation, examples, or reference links to point me towards? I have an idea of what I want to do, but I'd also like some other people's input on how they would possible move forward in completing this task.

View 1 RepliesI would like to make my flash form submit to mysql database.
View 2 RepliesSo, here is the question. I have a small flash application that sends some variables to a php script (via POST), and that php script sends them to a mySQL database.
This works fine when I'm testing my flash offline, I go to phpmyadmin, and the registry is done. When I upload the swf to a online html, this stops working. It no longer creates another registry in the database. I have no ideia why this happens.
I read a bit about it and found out about cross domain policy, and thought it might be the problem. Thus I made a small .xml file and uploaded it to both servers (the one the swf is on, and the one that has the database), and its still not working.

View 2 Replieshow Flash reads the PHP coding which was generated from the MySQL database.Though, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this task and/or clear stuff up. All I want to do is grab a single video file, when on the video.php page. So, the video.php will have the parameter, video.php?id=____ and than the PHP coding in the header will grab the database info for that video. Though, do I have to create a separate page for the flash to grab that information?Like, I notice that for Flash to grab that info, PHP needs to set it up like so:
Code: Select allvid=test.flv&title=title...
and ect. Though, do I have to echo this part out, or do I have to send that PHP info and create a page from it, than have flash grab the information from that 2nd page?

View 10 RepliesIs 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?
