Flash and submitting text to database

hi all,
i've been asked to make a flash site with a component on it
that uses a form to submit text to a database on the server.
knowing nothing about forms or back end stuff, i'm wondering where
to start. is this something that will require SQL? and do i use
actionscript to submit the text to the db? i'm also wondering about
how much time it might take to get a working knowledge of this sort
of thing.
any suggestions?
cheers,
macron

>> is this something that will require SQL?
In most cases... yes.
>>and do i use actionscript to submit the text to the
db?
No, you use AS to send the data to a CF, PHP, ASP, Java, .Net
or any other server side scripting language you want to use.
>>i'm also wondering about how much time it might take
to get a working knowledge of this sort of thing.
It's not that hard and if you search for tutorials you will
find a number of them. But... if you really know nothing about
backend stuff maybe someone can do this for you.

Flash and rollovers/text

I have a rollover presentation. Thumbs that are enlarged in
the large image area. I would like to have a Flash movie in the
large image area and have rollovers replace it. Is this possible?
Also, is it possible to put text in html on top of a flash
file?

> Also, is it possible to put text in html on top of a

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Yes, but not by using image swaps. You would have to have
your Flash in
containers that could be set to 'display:none' or
'display:block' depending
on the link clicked. You can do this with the DW behavior
called "Change
Properties".

Entering commercial cd info and submitting to CDDB database in iTunes 12

Hi there. I download audiobooks to an iTunes playlist in CD format to my laptop (Dell XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium). No specific info about the CD (e.g., book title, author, CD number, etc.) came up when attempting to check CD info in iTunes. Warning message came up indicating that I should check iTunes Help to determine how to enter CD info and submit to the CDDB database. This was easy to do with previous versions of iTunes but I'm unable to do so with iTunes 12. Thanks in advance for help anyone can provide.

Can anybody help with the above?
Many thanks

Copy and paste text and graphics between Flash and Illustrator

When copying text in Illustrator and pasting them to Flash, some text would become drawing objects and some remain text. A drawing object is not editable. If I import the AI file, then text remains text but the placement of graphics can be a little bit off sometimes.
It's just not possible to copy-and-paste text and graphics from Flash to Illustrator.
Is it just me? If not, when will Adobe have better integration between the 2?
Thanks,

Even though you can change your InDesign preferences for Clipboard Handling to allow formatted information to be pasted into InDesign from other programs, unfortunately Illustrator still won't allow you paste in text with formatting. This is due to how Illustrator and InDesign handle text differently. Even if you copy the text from Illustrator and paste it into a program like Word, which has a lot of different ways to handle formatted text, Illustrator just treats text differently than other Adobe applications.

Flash and audio and text quality & Documentation/Manuals

Like a donut i posted in the wrong bit so here are the links
to my previous questions rather than duplicating them:
Documentation
/ Manuals
Flash
and audio and text quality
Apologies and thanks

There is no polite way to say this: You need training to
learn how to use Captivate to create learning objects for a LMS. It
doesn't need to be a "long" training period, but you are trying to
shortcut ALL training and begin at the end. I advise you learn to
use Captivate as a generator of learning objects (LO) for the LMS.
You seem to be thinking you can to use it as a "shell" for your
Flash output and it just isn't a Flash plug-in ... it is a
self-standing and sometimes complicated - but usually easy to learn
- learning tool in its own right (by "easy to learn" I don't mean
overnight, in any case).
Reasons why include the fact that Flash SWFs are vector based
while Captivate uses bitmapped graphics. Audio is handled entirely
differently on the two. Captivate's communication with the LMS is
not - I think - going to pass on scoring from the movie-in-a-movie
approach you are trying to use. And on and on.
Sorry I don't have more encouraging news for you. Good luck,
michelle.

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using databases with Flash and PHP

Hi, everyone!
I`m a PHP newbie. I just learned PHP so that I can use
databases with Flash.
I`ve got a .php script that contains html that loads up my
.swf file. The .swf file is the core of my site. What I want to
know is if I can call some PHP functions (that I have wrote in the
.php script) from within the .swf file... This functions would
perform the reading and updating of my database.
The only way I know of to modify a database from Flash is
using the POST and GET methods. But that opens up a new browser
window in which the PHP script is called. And that only handles
writing in the database. So, what if I just want to read from the
database some values and insert them into a TextField in Flash? How
do I do that?
Thanks! Ardy

Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text field in Flash

Yes, <sub> & <sup> tags are not supported by
Flash but you can
use Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text
field in Flash:
Download & install Subscript & Superscript fonts
from
http://www.subscriptfont.com
or
http://www.superscriptfont.com
You will need to restart Flash software after installed
fonts.
Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the
HTML property to true.
Create a dynamic text field with Subscript font embeded.
Create a dynamic text field with Superscript font embeded.
Use HTML tag to set text to subscript or superscript like
below:
Some text<font face="Superscript">©</font>
If you are using ActionScript to test the htmlText, use
script like below:
my_txt.htmlText = "Some text<font
face='Superscript'>TM</font>";
They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline
and it's real subscript..

Hi Nirnalatha,
I have newly joined this forum and while going through the
posts I came across your post which I thought I could help out. But
I think I am too late for the reply.
I am also into Flashlite development couple of months from
now. Coming to your questions:
1. Textbox problem: I am surprised to know that E70 mobiles
(Device central list has E70-1 only) does not show input text box
when cursor is in input box. Anyways its a good thing that you dont
get an additonal input box. Like all J2ME applications you will be
able to type the text inline. Infact we had reverse problem where I
was told to create inline edit input box instead of flashlite input
box. I think this is the mobile setting. Check the device features
in the Adobe Device Central under Flash - Standalone player - Text
and Fonts features. It will be mentioned whether inline text is
allowed or not.
2. Soft keys issues: You need to use
fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Previous", "Next");
and use a key listener in order to override the Mobile
Softkey commands. Check out the flashlite help which clearly
explains this.
Hope I have given youa way to solve ur problem.

I can't get the websites like youtube, facebook, etc to load. everything comes up as just text/words. i've downloaded adobe flash and real player on windows xp.

i have windows xp. i just got the computer and internet on it. i downloaded adobe flash and real player. but i still can't get sites like facebook and youtube to work. i always get popups that ask if its a trusted site and to add the exception, which i do. yahoo and msn work, i can see photos and pictures and images just fine, but facebook and youtube are still all just words and error messages. any suggestions besides what i've already tried? i'm not tech savvy so step by step is how i learn best!

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

PLEASE HELP

It can be fairly involved once you realize how many aspects need to be dealt with. You'll need to find a tutorial that teaches you how to use drag and drop involving targets so that when you drop something you check if it hit a valid target (textfield in your case) and then process your text into that target. You should try searching Google using terms like "AS3 drag drop tutorial" and "AS3 dropTarget tutorial"   Here's a link from the latter of the two that has links to tutorials that might help.

Adobe 'fixes' for Flash and Dreamweaver

According to what I've been reading, Adobe added fixes to
Dreamweaver 8.02 to deal with the Active Content problem created by
Microsoft when Flash animations are embedded in web pages. Since I
have an earlier version of Dreamweaver and Flash and am having
problems like everyone else with that issue, would some 8.02 user
kindly inform me if this is indeed the case, and what does one do
in the new version to ensure Flash active content runs as intended?
Is it something that one must still manually add to the code in an
.html file, is the correction added automatically, is there an icon
to press....just how is the new feature/fix used and incorporated?
I'd like to know before considering an update. Thank
you..............frank

http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
Basically after you update if you add a flash file you get
this code added to the html file:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and that folder (Scripts) and (fileAC_RunActiveContent.js)
are automatically created with your project. When you import a swf
file the code that is automatically generated is also updated with
a snippet of code to fix the AC issue:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','404','height','368','src','~movies','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macrom edia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','~movies'
); //end AC code
</script><noscript>
You dont really have to do anything other then remember to
upload the scripts folder to your server when you publish.

Error in fetching the data from textfield and inserting to the database..

I'm using Java Swing as front end and MySQL as backend using the netbeans ide..I am trying to fetch the data from the textfiled in the form and insert to the database table.i've skipped the generated code..In the following code i get the erro cannot find symbol "stmt" in the actionPerformed method..
mport java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class BarcodeReader extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
public BarcodeReader() {
initComponents();
nb.addActionListener(this);
public void jdbcConnect(){
Connection con=null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String db = "mynewdatabase";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String user = "usrname";
String pass = "pwd";
try{
String s=newtxt.getText();
con=DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass);
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
Class.forName(driver);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
try{
jdbcConnect();
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT into machine(mname) values '"+jTextField1.getText()+"'");
}}catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new BarcodeReader().setVisible(true);
}

There are far too many errors to try and clear.
For one, the exception references the actionPerformed method (according to your text), so why is that not shown here?
For another you are performing, possible time-consuming, actions, and even worse IO actions, on the event thread, which is a huge no-no.
You are not closeing your resources properly, if at all, which is another huge no-no.
You are completely mixing your "view" (the gui), and your "model" (the data related classes), which is another huge no-no.
etc, etc, etc.

What's With Flash and IE7 ?

I have noticed a number of posting of Flash and IE7 troubles,
but they are not close enough or succinctly worded enough to suit
me to glom onto their post with my problem, and I noticed that the
ones who have a problem similar to mine are not being answered. So,
I take it that there is definitely a problem with Flash and IE7,
but no one knows the answer and Microsoft has not risen to the
problem of dealing with a problem that affects hundreds of
thousands of users. I have posted the following on a Microsoft
forum, but have received no reponses there as of yet. Hopefully the
Flash gurus here will be able to rise to the occasion more quickly
than their Microsoft IE counterparts.
If you look at the home page for
http://www.townofstarprairie.com/
using FireFox or IE 6 (with security settings lowered), you'll
notice a scrolling flash text box at the top, and an exact
duplicate of that text box at the very bottom of the page.
If you use IE 7, the one on top does not show but the one on
the bottom of the page does. These two Flash boxes are identical in
every way.
I have toyed with my IE 7 settings to the point where IE was
screaming at me that the world was going to come to an end due to
my low security settings, and still the one on top does not show.
What ever could be the problem with this?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Nickels55, you are correct....mostly.
One of my acquaintances busted into the weather.com code and
sent me the source. After much trial and error, I found that by
removing the STYLE block completely, I no longer had a problem. I
even tried removing the styles between the STYLE block, but that
didn't work. I had to remove the STYLE tags, too. I tried linking
out to a style page to no avail , btw.
For a while, you can see a bust of this problem at

What's really weird is that this problem only affects the
Flash code ABOVE the Weather.com widget (you would think it would
affect below, but such is not the case), and only in IE 7.
Very strange.

How to select and search text in this document?

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/manageability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_1 06-1_FIN_v2.pdf
is a document I can read but cannot copy text from. I can't search for any text in it either. Is there a way to convert it to a PDF file I can select and search text in? What did the author do to make it "encrypted"? Thanks.

I notice Google can convert it to plain text:
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:e4rkLs8pPekJ:www.oracle.com/technology/products/manage ability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_106-1_FIN_v2.pdf+understanding+shared+pool&cd=1&h l=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
(If that long URL doesn't work, just search for "understanding shared pool" and click "View as HTML".)
For now I'll use that. Thanks everyone.
Also, my local desktop search program Copernic can also index keywords in the article.
