Re: PHP Intergration im FLASH
well, first of all, you actually CAN use XML to bring a record set in flash. But, in order to accomplish this, you would have to “echo” the entire xml structure in PHP, and then use something like XML Object class or XML Connector in flash to ‘load’ it. Also, there’s no such thing as “Text Box” in flash. There’s TextField and ListBox that can be used for data population. The DataGrid class infact inherits from the List class in flash. You can also make text fields dynamic to update them as necessary according to the data calls and updates.
Now, using XML is unnecessary to some extent I think, while working with dbs, when you have other options available such as Flash Remoting, solely designed for integration with application and database servers. Once, your queries and server side logic is properly set up, then data management, such as updates, changes, deletions etc are very easy to implement.
In fact, integration of flash with backend servers is very simple, effecient and fast. Before, I delve further into it, you should try to use the latest version of Flash (MX 2004 Professional). The entire remoting framework has been completey re-engineered in MX 2004 from the previous version. Also check out this site for PHP based flash remoting:
