Database Driven Design Database?
Do forgive my vague query in the title here.

Greetings all. I'm new to the site. Have searched this site and others and did a lot of googling but haven't found what I'm looking for. Perhaps because the query is wrong.

There are two things I would like to accomplish:

1.

I have an archive of over 250 designs which I have titled in a specific alphanumerical order.

I'd like to put up a "catalog" of these designs online on my site (which is the site I want to create).

The functionality should be somewhat like this:

The 250 designs would be broken down into 3 categories.

Each category will have x number of designs (around 80 to 100).

A scrolling navigation for the designs is what I need. Although I have done a scrolling menu in the past, I've never done anything for so many designs.

The designs are already sitting on the server in the database.

I know that I can create the scroll menu such that once the thumbnail in the scrolling menu is clicked, it'll open another section of the page and load the larger version of the design. This is however tedious to do for over 200 designs.

I'm looking for a way that when the mouse clicks on the thumbnail, the place where the full scale of the design would be displayed knows which design to display.

2. The second part of this site should have search capability. For instance, if I key in the following code: SFA-1205 (which is a design number), it can search the database and display the design in the same viewable area I had designated for the first step.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Raju

Flash And Database
I have a question for an expert in Flash development. The subject / problem concerns passing information back and forth from an .swf movieclip and a database.

I am a designer with basic to mid level actionscript skills and I'm am working with a good (but not very familiar with Flash) programmer.

Basically we need a register form to establish a user password in order to play an on line quiz. We want to allow users the option to stop at any point during the quiz and then be able to come back to where they left off to continue.

I can explain details via email or this forum if anyone would like to help.

Thanks very much for your time.

For example, if I would like to make a simple tutorial using flash, and would like to have all my tutorial texts/materials stored in access ... this makes me easier to maintain the update by just editing the databse.

Thanks in advance.

SQL Database In Flash MX
Hi everyone,

I would like to know if you could redirect me to a site where I could find a tutorial on how to implement a sql database in flash MX. I already have this link but I don't believe it is giving the answer I am looking for: http://stylusinc.com/website/flash_sql.htm

What I would like to do is simple in theory: Create a search in flash using country with a drop down, company, zip or postal code, address, city. Everyone could search by all these fields and it would search through a sql database based on an apache server. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Seb

FLASH To DATABASE
I am interested in designing a FLASH website that pulls info from a Database. I was wondering what are the common ways of achieveing this.

Can it be done with Coldfusion MX? If so what is the syntax for doing that....is it the same as CFML in an html page? ie. if i wanted to grab a record from a database in html using colfdusion i would type the cfml output and #product#
Can this be done in Flash using colfdusion? Any resources?

I was also told that it can be done in flash using just plain actionscript? I dont know if this is correct or not.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Flash Remoting Components?
Do i just have to download the component, and it will let me connect?
Or do i need extra software like MMJrun4?

Anyone?

Database And Flash 5

Are there examples on flashkit.com that I can download and see how it works?

Thanx

Flash With Database Or XML
Hey there,

I'm looking at creating a flash movie that changes depending on the time of day. The movie will edvertise TV shows in a sort of 'What's on Now and Next' fashion.

So for example, between the hour of 9 and 10pm on a Wednesday, the movie could show photos of all those programmes showing at that particular time.

I was wondering if anyone had either produced something similar or has any sample movies that kinda work the way I might need the flash movie to work.

Thanks,
Neil.

When To Use A Database With Flash
I am creating an ROI calculator based off of an Excel Spreadsheet.

The formulas in the Excel Doc have been converted to Actionscript and return the results on Submit in the following example:
http://creative.loyaltyworks.net/staging/roi_calculator/

Above all else - The data input needs to be captured. The results do not.

The question I have is whether I need to let the input of these numbers go through a database to return the results, while also doing the calculations? Or is there a simple way to capture the input the data and still allow Actionscript to return the results?

I do not know where to start in finding a solution.

Many thanks in advance.

Ms Database And Flash?

Flash XML Database
hi all..

I am creating a staff database that needs to be able to run from cdrom (ie. no server tech), I am presuming using xml is ideal for this, each staff member has name, grade, group, sector, telephone and image information as below...

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<office>
<staff email="iancooper@web.com">
<fname>Ian</fname>
<sname>Cooper</sname>
<grade>Director</grade>
<group>PDS</group>
<bsector>Industrial Products</bsector>
<tel>2082455</tel>
<mob>79301717</mob>
<region>UK</region>
<image>iancooper.jpg</image>
</staff>
<staff email="coubroughjohn@web.com">
<fname>John</fname>
<sname>Coubrough</sname>
<grade>Senior Manager</grade>
<group>PDS</group>
<bsector>Industrial Products</bsector>
<tel>20824596</tel>
<mob>79301715</mob>
<region>UK</region>
<image>coubroughjohn.jpg</image>
</staff>
</office>
the final xml is expected to have many more staff members...

I understand the theory of loading the data into an array using the xml object, but what i want to do is be able to do is list the staff members by either Grade, Group or by Sector.

Is it possible to search through the xml and retrieve only the entries where certain criteria is met? ie Group = PDS or Sector = Industrial Products

How does one go about doing this? First, the user is able to select what staff list they would like to see, this would just be a list of names with a thumbnail, then they could select individual staff and be shown a detail page with all of the staff members info...

Is it possible to do this using the xmlconnector and other components? or is it more flexable to just code it all using the xml object?

Any offers of help would be appreciated... tutorials etc.

Many thanks

Using Flash With ASP And Database
Hi!

I'm trying to get a variable from a database into CS3.
But I'm getting this error when trying to trace the variable:

Quote:

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

I think it has something to do with the loading of score from database to variable Score in the asp file. Here follows som information:

Database named PlayerDatabase.mdb:

Quote:

Table named tabell
Inside the table, there is a INTEGER variable named score.

Asp file named getdata.asp

Code:
<%
adress=Server.MapPath("PlayerDatabase.mdb")
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
basen= "Driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);DBQ=" &adress

sql ="select * from tabell;"

conn.open basen

set rs=conn.execute(sql)

Response.write "Score=" & Server.URLEncode(rs("score")) & "&"

rs.Close
conn.close

%>
A piece of the Code inside the flash .fla file:

Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, varsLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("getdata.asp"));

function varsLoaded (event:Event):void {
trace(loader.data is URLVariables); // true
trace(loader.data.Score);
}
What have I done wrong?

Using A Database In Flash
I'm looking for some feedback here... I had planned to use Access as my database and link it up with Flash with an ASP file... is this a good way to do this... should I reconsider and use Excel and utilize XML and link it up that way....or is there a better alternative... My database will store player''s info along with their individuall picture's; so, I will need a vehicle to bring the info over into my Flash Movie...
Please give me some feedback...Thanks
