Flash :: Input Text Connection To A Database Help

Database Connection
Is MX 2004 capable of connecting directly to a database - for instance Acces or Excel - to dynamically obtain and present records?
If not, which language/program would you recommend to present dynamic data on a graphics? For example, if you wanted to have few hotspots on a graphic map which on a rollover would pop a little box with data from an external table/database?
Thanks

Database Connection
Hi everyone...i really need some advise concerning database connection with flash mx2004 pro. I'm building a very complex forms application and need to get lots of data in and out of the database backend to my flash app. the app is an web deployed Intranet app situated on a server running ASP. The database is SQL2000. I've looked at using the LoadVar method...which would be pretty much the same as a normal HTML to asp application. I've also looked at using the XML connector...but this looks like it would actually be more difficult. SQL Server will return XML data but its not in a format that i can easily use, and i dont want to write an XML parser in ASP to then pace it to the flash app. Has anyone got any thoughts or guidence on this......?

thanks nik

[CS3] Help: Interactive Map W/ Database Connection
Here is an example of what I'm looking to come up with in the end: http://smu.edu/maps/flash

Right now, my Flash file just consists of a floorplan picture for a certain building on campus.

Certain rooms are going to be clickable (a library item will present instead of just having the whole room area clickable). When a room is clicked, a pop up window/quote box will show up on the screen (much like the example in the link above).

As for the database connection, it will be used to put information in those individual windows/boxes (not the main concern yet).

I'm going to keep track of my overall progress in this thread, so I'm just asking for any other examples, or suggestions right now.

Thanks in advance.

Flash Database Connection (k)
I'm working on a portfolio for my company and would like to store the

database. I was thinking about using Filemaker Pro for the

shown locally.

Thoughts? What the best way to do this? XML?

Database Connection & Extraction
At the moment, I am just trying to extract info from a MySQL database through Flash via a PHP script. The script is:

PHP Code:

<?phpinclude ('include.inc');mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass);@mysql_select_db("$DBName");$query = "SELECT value FROM content WHERE field = 'FrontPageNews'";$result = mysql_query($query);$value = mysql_result($result,0,"value");print "&value=$value";?>

I have a multiline dynamic text box with a variable name of "value" and the following actionscript:
Code:
loadVariablesNum("php/read.php", 0, "POST");
stop();
But it is not extracting the info. It connects to the database fine, as I used it from a tutorial on FlashKit. The script works in phpMyAdmin, just not in Flash.

It does, however, work when I use the following PHP script, but it's not extracting the info from a database though:
PHP Code:

<?phpinclude ('include.inc');mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass);@mysql_select_db("$DBName");$query = "SELECT value FROM content WHERE field = 'FrontPageNews'";$result = mysql_query($query);$value = mysql_result($result,0,"value");$test_msg = "hello"; $test = "&value=$test_msg"; print "$test"; ?>

The page is at http://test.bigworms.com

Any Ideas?

Using DWMX: Php/mysql Database Connection Ok, Doesn't See Tables
Hello,

Forgive me if this has been brought up. I did a search for it and couldn't find anything, so I hope I'm not rehashing an old problem.

I have the database connection through the MySQL server working fine (after I had to go change the stupid old password thing), but it doesn't list any tables in the 'databases' tab of the Applications panel, and if I try to define a recordset in the 'bindings' tab, it says no columns are found. Anyone know how to get it to see the tables? I looked at the table properties in MySQL Control Center and it doesn't say it had restricted permission or anything like that.

Thank you very much.

INPUT TEXT - How To Restrict Number Of Lines Of Text A User Can Input Into Textbox
In a flash form I've created I have a input textbox. I don't want the user to be able to input more than 7 lines of text. Is this possible to do? I know that I can set a value for 'max char', but this is not useful for me -- it's essential that the user cannot input more than 7 lines of text.

How can I limit the number of lines a user can input into a textbox?

Thanks!

Help With Email Form - Input Text Boxes Not Allowing Input
i placed an email form into a movie clip in this site...and the input text boxes are no longer allowing me to type into them.

the email form (which i got from flashkit), as it's own file, works fine, so i know it's possible...but for some reason when i take the movie clip from one file and drag it into the one i'm working on...it loses that input text funcionality. All the actionscript is the same...everything is identical...i don't get it.

i even tried to place it on top of a movie clip within the main content clip thinking maybe because it was an mc within an mc within an mc that had something to do with it...but not the case.

any help you can provide is appreciated.
(attached file was saved as MX..orig is in MX 2004 Pro)

thanks.

oh, also....how would i load movie clips to different layers?...if i understand some things i've read here, that will help me speed up the site overall...as it is VERY slow in browser. but...maybe i'm wrong.

Input Text To Show Up In Input Text Box In Later Frame
Hi, I am making a game where the player enters his or her name into and input text box at the beginning and then prints out a certificate at the end with his or her name on it. This is the actionscript I am using, however, this only allows me to have the box where the player enters his or her name to be on the same frame as where the text appears.

input_txt.onKillFocus = function () {
user_name = input_txt.text;
input_txt2.text = user_name;
}
_global.style.setStyle("fontSize",30);

I was wondering if there was anyway to modify this script to make it so that the name appears in the input_txt2 box in a later frame.

Thanks,

Loading Text From A Database Into A Text File Inside A Movieclip
Okay. I have a movie clip with two frames. Inside frame 1 is a text box named "home_copy". The mc in which this textbox resides is given an instance name of "copy". Frame 2 has a different text box (we'll worry about this after solving probelm 1.)

So I'm using loadVariables so that the site is compatible with old browsers.

The PHP file I'm grabbing has this at the end:
Code:
&home_copy=Welcome to EROS. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. etc.
So how do I get my php source code to go into the text box, "home_copy", which is embedded into a movieclip, named "copy".

thanks

Input Text Field Won't Allow Input
We are having a really strange and stupid sounding problem with a text input box. It appears but won't allow any input. Before you shout 'stupid newbie' yes the properties are correctly defined as input text etc.

The input field is in a movie clip i.e. _root.myClip but we have never had this problem before. It is probably something obvious to to prevent us pulling out all of our hair has anyone got any idea why this is happening. We have tried forcing the text box focus etc but to no avail.

Trasfering Text From One Dynamic Text Box To A Input Text Box On A Differnt Page?
Ok so I have a text box set up which receives the date on a callendar which you click on. On another page (a seperate html file) I have an input text box for receiveing this text.

I've been trying to do this using various methods using getURL, but, I can't get it to work. This is becoming tedious especially as I'm not able to test it without having to reupload the files.

If someone could please inform me on how I should do this I'd be vary greatful.

If you need any further information I'll reply as soon as possible.

Input Boxes - Then Printing A Frame With Dynamic Boxes With The Input Text In Them...
I have created a flash document with input text... I put the input text with a a variable for each.. I need to print the variables on a seperate page. I used a bounding box inside a movie clip and the printing is working correctly... However it is not reading my input boxes into the dynamic text boxes..

What I did is I have the input boxes on the root timeline........ You input it and go through a few frames and you get the option to print from a button (which is printing 2nd frame of a movie symbol) NOTE: the printing is working correctly using #b.... This is what I have on the 2nd frame of the movie clip for the dynamic text boxes to read the input boxes and place those variables inside of those dynamic text boxes so it will print them as they inputted them...

Here is what I have for my button:

on (press) {
print(_root.Printing, "bmovie")
}

Here is what my variables are on the input boxes which are sitting on the root timeline, each word is a variable:

curious
passionate
accountable
resourceful
commited
teamwork
open
engerizing

External_focus
Clear_thinker
Imagination_courage
Inclusive_leader
Expertise

INSIDE THE PRINTING MOVIE I HAVE A FRAME WITH THIS ACTION ON IT FOR THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES TO READ THE INPUT TEXT BOXES:

External_focus1 = _parent.External_focus;
Clear_thinker1 = _parent.Clear_thinker;
Imagination_courage1 = _parent.Imagination_courage;
Inclusive_leader1 = _parent.Inclusive_leader;
Expertise1 = _parent.Expertise;
curious1 = _parent.curious;
passionate1 = _parent.passionate;
accountable1 = _parent.accountable;
resourceful1 = _parent.resourceful;
commited1 = _parent.commited;
teamwork1 = _parent.teamwork;
open1 = _parent.open;
engerizing1 = _parent.engerizing;

FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT PRINTING MY INPUT BOX INFORMATION IN THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES.... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?

Getting Text Out Of A Database
Hello, i am trying to display the information i have contained in a database in Flash, i am using mysql and PHP.
The php code i have is

Code:
<?PHP
require 'include.php';

$link = mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass)
or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$DBName") or die("Could not select database");

$query = "SELECT gallery_info FROM galleries WHERE gallery = 'archaeology'"
$run = mysql_query($query);

echo ("page_text='hello'");
?>
Then back in the flash im loading a new movie and then trying to display the text in a dynamic textfield named page_text. The code i have on a button is this,

Code:
loadMovie("gallery0.swf", "_root.frame");
_root.control.loadVariables("http://www.sackonnect.com/museum/get_info.php", "GET");
The problem is that its just not displaying the text, in the dynamic text field it just displays "_level0.form.page_text". Could the problem be that im loading a swf into an swf and thats affecting how it works? and how do i fix that? or are very many more problems in my code, thanks for any help

Database Text
Okay so I have my flash doc getting some text from my database. The text uses HTML tags. The problem is that I cannot get the formatting to show up unless I use device fonts. Using actionscript I have this text field fading in and out at times (tween class). I cannot use alpha on the device fonts. I would like to use arial. Embedding the font is not enough.
So as of now either I keep the formatting but dont have alpha to work with or have the words missing between the tags.
I'm sure this issue is easy to fix. I have searched the forums but found nothing on this. Thanks everyone. This is the best flash blog around!
