Professional :: Method Of Storing/receiving Data?
Jul 29, 2011
I'm goofing around with developing a Flash game that would be accessible via a Facebook application but am still trying to figure out how I want to organize the game itself. The game essentially is an educational game with competitive components - completing tests faster results in more points with which you can customize your avatar and other items in the game. Also, passing certain "lessons" open up new lessons. So the major components I see are:- Player data storage (scores, progress, etc.)- Social connections - transference of rewards, comparing high scores, etc.- Lesson data (what questions to ask, possible answers, etc.)How is this best controlled? PHP and SQL? XML? Should I use datagrids as an intermediary? I'm having a lot of problems finding good information, both on the internet and at the bookstore about how to manage this.

The component itself receives all its parameters from a .txt file. The editor is a read/save form that initially loads the parameters into it's form fields, and then overwrites the .txt file when the user hits submit. You then refresh the component on whatever website you have it to see the changes.Here's the php code that I found to get me going:
<?php //Capture data from $_POST array $title = $_POST['Title']; $comments = $_POST['Comments']; $image = $_POST['Image'] //Make one big string in a format Flash understand $toSave = "Title=".$title."&Comments=".$comments."&Image=".$image;

my first flash webpage sends data to a php script. I then do
var result_data:String = String(contactLoader.data);
if (result_data == "ok")
{
navigateToURL(strURL, "_self");
}
So if the data is sent with no problems, it will load up my new url. Problem is, this new url needs this data to display it. So, if my php file holds the data in variables, how can my new url retrieve these in real time? (meaning that data goes straight from swf to php to new swf) I have been trying LoadVars, but not sure if this will work in real time, maybe it will.

Not getting data back into flash from php that queries mysql data, think the problem is with my as3 code here?The php works, the as3 posts to the php ok, its the returning of the variables to as3 that I am unsure about and seems to be the problem?
public static function MineData():void{
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("login.php");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I'm setting up a kind of database, where the data are coming from a specific url.
I receive the source code of that url, get the data I look for, and display this in a text box. This works fine as long as I start the swf locally. However, when I copy the swf to my home page, the data obviously cannot be received anymore.
To make it more clear (with fictional url): Homepage [URL] contains the swf; tries to automatically read and display the source of [URL]

We are thinking of adding a feature to a main page of a flash site that I will be building shortly, but it requires sending data out to an API where it will be processed and send back to Flash.The form will need to post a number of variables to a URL and then interpret the response code.. is this possible in AS2?

I'm writing a flash chat program using XMLSocket.It's connecting and sending data just fine. The server is sending the data back just fine (I checked the packets on Ethereal), but Flash is just not receiving any data.[code]The server is a Java server written with the NIO classes.

This is something I noticed on the Adobe documentation pages.
When receiving a textfile from a URL, the function to set the text will either look like this:
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var txt:String = URLLoader(event.currentTarget).data as String;
tf.text = txt;

I'm trying to make a barebones, simple flash client communicate ANYTHING to a server over a regular socket. I setup the listeners:
socket = new Socket();
socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closed);
socket.addEventListener (DataEvent.DATA, onSocketData);
[code]...
And then I connect. On the server side I have a simple policy server on port 843.And then the real socket server that the flash client is connecting to.The flash client connects to the policy server and gets the policy. The flash client then connects to the actual socket server. I know this because I can both see it when snooping the network traffic and the fact that the Event.CONNECT fires off. From snooping the network traffic I can see the flash client send data TO the server when it:
socket.writeUTFBytes( "TEST CLIENT
");
From the server app I can see the data the client sent. The server then returns a little data. I can see this data going from the server to the client in the network traffic snooper. However, the client NEVER sees the data. It never fires off DataEvent.DATA or ProgressEvent.PROGRESS or ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA. There are no errors and the connection remains open for as long as I want it... but the flash client never seems to see the data... no matter how much I send.
Over and over I read online that the data sent to the flash socket needs to be terminated with a � zero byte. I can verify it is in the network traffic snoop.if I try to read any data from the flash app via something like readUTFBytes it always returns nothing found.

I need some help with my code please. I have a for loop that creates sprites and loads images into the sprites theough XML. I have additional nodes for each image and sprite that get created that I want to store and call when I roll over the thumbs. What would be the best way to do this? I had to "improvise" and have the for loop create text fields to hold the data and then call it when I roll over throught "evt.target.

When a key is pressed, data is sent to PHP to be stored in a MySQL database. For each key press, only one entry should be posted. it re-posts exponentially (e.g., 1st key press = one post, 2nd key press = two posts, 3rd key press = three posts; thus, totaling six posts).Initially, the event listener for key press existed alone on a single frame. When that was the case. This issue did not occur. I added an additional frame so that I could set to clear out all variables and start fresh.
so frame 4 will have :
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if (Key.isDown(69)){ // if key pressed is "E"

There is a combo-box by the name "cbJobs" and it gets its value from the XML file named "data.xml".. I want to store the value transferred from this XML file into a variable.. so basically someone told me to use the code
on (change) {
_root.subject = this.getValue();
}
the only problem with this code is that it gets activated only after I "change" the value in combobox by pulling it down.. I want to use this value obtained from _root.subject as a subject in the script
getURL("mailto:abc@abc.com?subject="+_root.subject);

I'm now writting a little drawing tool, that will allow users to save their drawings and the redraw them. Now I'm only concerning myself with diferent colored lines with diferent thickness. So now I only need to store the values, that will be used later on when calling the canvas object's graphics.lineTo(....); method. I'm planning to save all of my drawings in XML, but I still need to load them up when I want to use them.
Given my situation, what's the best way to load up my data (after loading it in chunks): Arrays, Dictionaries, anonymous objects. We're talking about loading up, let's say ~ 1000 Point instances for a very simple shape, since I want the drawing to be pixel-perfect, since I will be modifying it to a more sophisticated tool later.

I'm currently having abit of problem with splitting some data and inserting it correctly.On screen I am going to have 3 movieclips (with a dynTextfield already placed inside them).Using data imported from PHP I plan to put the project names of the returned results inside the movieclips. The problem with this is if the results are more than 3 then there aren't enough movieclips. To over come that I was thinking of using a 'more' button where the project names would get pushed out of the movieclips and the new set loaded in/along.
At the present moment I can split the data (received from PHP) and trace it accurately, although I'm not sure how to go about storing it now. I was going to use and Array and store to store the info and call it in the buttons, however I haven't used arrays before.
Code
Code:
function fetchInfo(){
//Query DB for existing projects:
fetchProjects = new LoadVars();
fetchProjects.userID = _global.UserID;
[code]....
At the moment in my test there are 2 results that are returned.

i'm trying to make it easy for artists and level designers to implement game entities without writing a drop of code.
for instance, 5 different monsters are similar but with different attack speeds. i'd like to embed stats (for instance attack speed, health, etc.) in each of their movieclips.
the only way i can think is to embed textfields with instance names of "attack speed" and "health", and then delete the textfields at runtime. is there a more legitimate way of doing this?

The XML files contains a few settings and several data entries
I want to make it read from a database instead
I can't make my mind up how I should use the database and how many tables I need

i'm trying to find a solution to this problem: in the frist frame of the project i have 3 radiobuttons (Mambasradio, Amaronradio, Mastajbuonradio). In the second frame i have a ComboBox (Centers). I created 4 Arrays (mambascenters, amaroncenters, mastajcenters, nothing) and i tried to change the Array of the Centers.dataProvider with the RadioButtons selections. So if i selected Mambasradio, the dataProvider will beCenters.dataProvider = new DataProvider(mambascenters)I tried a lot of things but i didn't figured out of this. It gives me a Null Object Reference error in second frame. Here's my code.

how "you" would do it and then deciding my strategy from there.What I'm setting out to do is as follows:I have a UI with about 10 sliders and 10 buttons.I'm using Senoculars Virtual Mouse class to record all of the users interactions into arrays (basically [x,y, action, time, value]) and then after a decided time (say 3 minutes) I play the users interaction back to them.All of that works fine but now the data is not persistent.I would like to be able to store the interaction data somewhere and then a user can log out, log in and view their previously saved interaction.how would you go about saving this data? I was thinking about storing it in a XML file but I'm concerned that the file would wind up being ridiculously huge. If a user drags a slider from left to right just once thats saving [x ,y action, time,value] 42 times.

I am making app that works as stand alone, do some calculations and sting formating. Also it need to save data localy, and be able to reload it when needed. I have read that Shared Objects do that but also have limitation. For example the data can be deleted without user doing it. I need the data to somehow persistend and been able to delete only by the user of the app. As extra exporting data for other user will be usefull, but is not requared.
