Product list/database in flash

I'm in the planning phase of building a product database/list
in flash. It is suppose to be a pop-up from a HTML page and is only
to contain product information. The key elements are:
- Product name
- Product image
- Description
- Article number(s)
- Price
The first thing the user must do is to choose withs sub
category and then thumbnails generates with product names below.
When the user clicks the product article numbers, (larger
image), price, decription appears in another panel.
Issue 1:
Whats the best way of handling this amount of data in flash
(thumbnails, text ...) in scrollable panels? Is it in some kind of
component or is it to have mc containers with dynamic content.
Issue 2:
Data source. XML or database? If I use XML, do I still have
to have a database in the back if it is suppose to be updatable
from another UI?
Any pointers?

What you want is to learn to use flash remoting. There are many ways to do this. If you're just starting out you can use this chain of events:
Flash to Php/Coldfusion/.Net to mySQL
This would be the process to write data:
To read you would:
Flash to PHP to mySQL to PHP to Flash.
Essentially flash calls the serverside language (one of the three, I provided, probably are others) and inside the language there is a function or code that calls the database to get the data. The data is returned to the server side language and then back to flash as a result.
If you learn to do this you become a much more valuable Flash designer because there is almost nothing you cannot do.
I've been doing this for years and have made a nice business out of it. I use Coldfusion for my server side language because I like keeping all my data in it's original datatype. I get the data back in a nice result package that is easy to manage in Flash.
Here's a site that I built that is fully dynamic and database controlled:
http://designyournautique.com
I hope this helps. Flash is pretty weak with doing actual work, but on purpose. You even need a server side language to send an email with flash.

  • Database Smart Flash Cache and Data Guard

    We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on OEL 5 and our considering buying fusion io (PCIe flash drives) for our Production (Primary) database.
    My question is; Can we use Physical Data Guard with the Primary side using Database Smart Flash Cache and keep-ing tables and/or partitions in the Flash Cache and have a Standby side that does not have Database Smart Flash Cache?

    Yes you can.
    Data Guard will not check what type drive you are using. As long as you meet the database and network requirements it will work.

    Check out these white papers if you have concerns

  • 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

  • Why do I see products I don't own in the My Products List?

    I logged into my Apple account and was in the process of verifying the list of products I own when I noticed that there are 3 iPhone 4S serial numbers on the list.  I've only owned 1 iPhone 4S and the other two aren't mine.  I've never bought other iPhone 4S phones other than the one I previously owned which I've since sold. 
    So I have two questions:
    1 - Since I sold one of the phones, I didn't know there was a My Products List which had the S/N of the phone I sold.  I sold this phone well over a year ago and the woman who bought the phone in another state, has been using it without problems.  I know since she emailed me to confirm that she had no problems with the activation.  So if she's the owner, is it best to leave this phone on My Products List or should I remove it?
    2 - Regarding the other two phones I've never owned, how did these get onto My Products List?  And, if they're registered to me on this site, what does that mean?
    Thanks in advance.  This is really concerning.

    1. No device gets removed unless you remove it. So, since you sold the phone and the person has no problem using it, remove it.
    2. No idea why there would be anything listed you do not own. I'd simply remove the items, but if it concerns you, I'd suggest stopping by your nearest Genius Bar and show them the items listed and ask them if someone can figure out how they got there.

  • How can i request just the navigation or just the product list when i query the dgraph?

    Is there a way to make a request for navigation only or record list only?

    That's actually the only way to query using the conversation service in Oracle Endeca Information Discovery.
    In your request, you specify a State (i.e. what is the Navigation State) and a series of configuration elements indicating "what you care about" coming back.
    If this is related to the older dgraph stack that is embedded into the Commerce Product (guessing since you mention a "product list"), you should ask the question over yonder:

  • How to add new fields to CRM contract Product List tab?

    Hi all!
    I would like to add a new custom field for CRM contract (CRMD_BUS2000121) item level, on the Product List tab.
    Here I found CRMT_0100A_ORDPRP_I_EXT_UI structure, therefore I enhanced this with new append structure and new fields.
    I also added the new fields to ORDPRP_I append structure and mapped the new fields in CRMC_MAP.
    For some reason the new fields are on the screen but they are grey, not changeable. What did I do wrong?
    Thanks,
    Tamas Pentek

    Actually for the new IC webclient UI you have need to take a look at your options:
    1.  New Installation:
    Use the EEWB and add the fields.  As part of the EEWB work, you will have a couple of post-processing steps where you will add your generated fields to the new screens.  However this doesn't require any programming.
    2.  Upgrade from CRM 4.0/50
    - New fields to add as part of upgrade
    See the directions for new installation
    - Existing fields to add as part of upgrade
    --See the blog on the 40/52 CUSTOMER_H migration for transaction fields
    --Business Partner fields part of BUT000 available via UI configuration tool, no extra work needed
    --Business Partner fields part of tabular extension, manual work required, I am still "perfecting" this method and plan on writing a blog once I have the technique finished.
    --Product Attributes - use the transaction CRMM_UI_PROD_GEN and CRMM_UIU_PROD_CONFIG
    I know CRM 2007 is based on the same tech foundation as 2006s, with some differences in how the UI tool works and the fact there are some screen layout changes(editable overviews).  The extension procedures are generally the same.  I can answer some of you extension questions based on my work with CRM 52 so far.  It will generally apply to your situation.
    BTW:  The PCUI is no longer supported in CRM 2006s and above.  Even the old SAP GUI transactions such as BP, COMM_PRODUCT are removed from the standard CRM menu.   The SAP CRM web client should be used instead now.
    Take care,

  • Production List Report /sapapo/ppl1

    I want to understand in Production List Report there is a column called Valuation Mode.The values are 0,1,2,3.
    I want to understand how these values get assigned against orders.
    Thanx in advance.

    Hi Roshan,
                     Valuation Mode is Effectivity Mode which is coming from Capacity Requirement.The meanings for 0,1,2,3 are as below.
    0-Activity must lie within effectivity period
    1-Activity end must lie within effectivity time
    2-Activity start must lie within effectivity time
    3-Do Not Take Validity Period Into Account
    I hope this will help you.

  • Tcode for listing database in SAP AII 4.0

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what is the Tcode for listing Database in SAP AII 4.0?

    If you're looking for a listing of AII 4.0 tables, most are prefixed with "/AIN/".  You can go to SE16 and type in <b>/AIN/*</b> in the input field and drop down on it to display the different tables and their descriptions.

    Kindly help me to connect the sql database. or dot net server. I know how to connect PHP and mysql. But my client dont want php. only sql database and do the add, del, modificaiton.
    Thanks in advance,
    Syed Abdul Rahim

    unfortunately no, i do not know ASP well enough to give any code advice, other than the basic concept:  make a request on a server-side script (such as ASP) via URLLoader - the script receives variable values (if required), runs the DB queries you wish to invoke, and 'returns' the results - pick them up in the URLVariables class via the event handler in Flash and assign them to local properties if needed, etc.
    there are quite a few threads that you could find more specific information on the ASP side, here and elsewhere around the net.

    Hi Rajesh,
    I've seen your query all over the internet, so I should warn you I don't believe it's possible to disable a List Item.
    For that you should use Josh Tynjala's open source Advanced List (http://code.google.com/p/flextoolbox/downloads/list).

  • How can I display favorites products list as table?

    When I insert favorites list module on a page,
    {module_favorites,i,27,0}
    it renders them as <li> (one per row).  I want them to render as the product list. (Several products per row).
    {tag_productlist,3,,6,alphabetical,true,false}
    How can I do this?
    Also, if I want to insert all products with a certain tag in a page (that is not the Catalog page), It renders as list, not as table.  This is the module I called: {module_productfeaturelist,store,4,Default,,true}

    No - I still can't make it work. Tried a lot of different things but it's like theres only one LI in the list, containing all the items added to the fauvorite list.
    I tried to remove the classes, and this is how it looked in Firebug:
    <div id="favourites">
    <ul>
    <li id="catProdTd_5244310">
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
    <div class="hproduct">
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
    <div class="hproduct"> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
    <div class="hproduct">
      <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
    <div class="hproduct">
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    I don't know how to target the LI's inside the module?

  • Remove Bullets from Featured Product List - Style a module

    I have a list of Featured Products by the Tag/Module: {module_productfeaturelist,Featured Product}.
    Everything works great, except I am getting big bullet before each product listed. Obviously I need to add styling "list-style:none" but I can't figure out where I would add that to make it work. I have added the styling to the <td></td> as well as putting the module into a <span></span> and having a class for the span with the styling. Nothing is working.
    How would I style a "{module_productfeaturelist,Featured Product}"
    Thanks!!

    So that anyone else has this problem. I figured out how to style the module. {module_productfeaturelist}  "productfeaturelist is a class. Just add the class to your css and add list-style:none to it. Works great.
