Write And Retrieve Data From A Text File On A PocketPC
My apologies, I posted this in general Help too, not sure where it fits best...

Anyone have any ideas on how I can write and retrieve data from a text file on a PocketPC using Flash? There are several solutions on a local computer such as the exec command or a middleware app using geturl, but most of these require the Flash file to be played as a standalone, and wouldn't work on PPC anyways. I've tried using javascript to set the variables in a cookie, but I can't get the data back out. The javascript function and actionscript I use successfully creates the cookie data, but it doesn't parse it the way it does on a desktop system and puts the data in one large string. I can get it to show values as: "variableA=dataA" by using 'variableA and "=" and dataA', but I'm not too familiar with parsing cookie data so I'm having a little trouble pulling it out. Any ideas or other solutions anyone can offer??

Save Data To A File
Using flash to create a stand alone application, and we need to export data to a file. I looked into this previously and I thought there was some sort of 3rd party app, or maybe it could be "printed" to a text file? I can't remember.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Best Way To Save Data To A File On The Server
I'm a noob at server side code, I've only used client side. I'm developing an application where the user will fill out a form and I need their input to be saved to an XML file on the server.

I assume that I can create an ASP or PHP page to take the POST from Flash (using loadvars) and write it out, is this right?

Is there a size limit on the data that I can pass? I know that it'll be much larger than 255 chars - maybe in excess of 10,000 chars in cases.

My Flash app would know where the file should be saved to and would format the XML - so the server would just take the text and save it as "page.xml" (or whatever else I tell it to).

Would this work, or is there a better way?

Save And Retrieve Shared Object On Linux
Hi,

I am using flash shared object to save certain user information on the Linux platform and using the same data whenever the same user re-login into the application. I have observed that as the number of users (i.e. shared objects) increase in number (approx 15-20 users) the application is no longer able to retrieve the already saved shared object for that user. However, the same application works perfectly on the Windows platform (I have created atleast 30-40 users on win but application does work fine.)

I am using the following code for the SO save functionality:

Code:
var objRecordSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("record", "/");
objRecordSO.data.username = "Komal";
objRecordSO.data.score = 30;

var bSuccess = objRecordSO.flush(1024 * 100);

Please advice.

Save And Retrieve Shared Object On Linux
Hi,

I am saving certain user information using flash shared object and using the same data whenever the same user re-login into the application. I have observed that, on the Linux platform, as the number of users (i.e. shared objects) increases (approx 15-20 users) the application is no longer able to retrieve the already saved data of the user. Which means that if the same user logins into the application, the application get closed automatically instead of redirecting him to his page.

However, the same application works perfectly on the Windows platform. I have created atleast 30-40 users on windows but application does work fine.

I am using the following code for the SO save functionality:

Can anyone provide me a reliable solution for Linux as well...

Retrieve Data From POST
Seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I'm having some trouble. I have an HTML form on an admin page that POSTs variables r1,r2,r3...,rN that have intergers as values. The action page for the form is a review page (so administrator can confirm input before committing to a DB) that I'd like to simulate the actual user accessible page. The user page has a flash piece which draws it's data from the DB. So I want the administrator's review page to draw it's data from the form's POSTDATA, not the DB, since the DB isn't actually updated yet when viewing the review page. Can a .swf load from it's own pages existing POSTDATA. If so how.

Thanks for your input.

Send And Retrieve Data From EXE Using ActionScript
Hi All,

Urgent Help Needed

Using actionscript, how can flash mx call an external application(.exe) and pass some variable name, so that the external application reads a data(.dat) file and returns the corresponding data back to flash for further processing and display.

Something like this:

FLASH ------varname-------> EXE ---locate varname in ----> DAT FILE

FLASH <----required data---- EXE <----data for varname---- DAT FILE

Since the external application is already available, I only need the ActionScript
to complete.

Thanks & Regards

Flash Caching My Data Retrieve
Hello.
I have a Flash file that calls every certain time to check data from a MySQL table in order to update the display in the flash movie.
The problem is that Flash always shows the old data...is caching them...
The only solution i have at this moment is to erase temporary files at the browser....
Anyone has a good solution for this???

(This is the actionascript code i put in the update frame) :

data=new LoadVars();
data.onLoad=function(success){
if(success){

for(j=1; j<36; j++){

if (this["status"+j]==1){
table["mode"+j]=1;
} else {
table["mode"+j]=0;
}

}
gotoAndStop("showdata");

}

}

data.load("get_data.php");

stop();

Retrieve Data From Databases For Combo Box In Flash
Dears,

Now I have to build a Combo Box in Flash so that users
can select data from a pop-up list (that would be an
array). The contents of this array should come from a
database.

I have the idea:
First, I have to yield data from the database and then
store them in the array within a (.jsp) file.
Second, Flash then retrieve data from the (.jsp) file.
I have the concept to make combo box in flash.

My questions are:
(1) Can Flash read data from (.jsp) file instead of read data from a text file?
(2) if yes, how to make the (.fla) file retrieve data from the database?

Actually, I have to thank Gareth's suggestions.
Anyone can give me some more suggestions?

Thank you.

Retrieve Data From MySQL And Show In Flash
Hi.

Before I start, I will say that I have searched these forums, Flash Kit and Google, but every tutorial I get is really complicated. I have done this before, but cannot remember how.

I have a database, and I just want flash to connect up to it and retrieve 4 values [id, date, venue & city]. I then want these shown in a flash movie. There is more than 1 record in the DB, but I will be limiting the results to 1 that is = or > than todays date.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, or point me somewhere that will.

I do not need the flash movie to insert info to the datbase.

Thanks
