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
Trey

The cleanest way is to use XML. However, if you're planning
on doing
freqent updates, then ASP may work better in the long run.

  • 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

    1. Goggle "Flash and mySQL" and you'll get a listing of alot
    tutorials
    2. I'm also just learning. Here's a great URL to start:
    Building with Flash and MySQL
    That's right, a Flash-based blog — it sounds a little
    loony, but this blog pulls content from a MySQL database and feeds
    it into the dynamic Flash frontend ...

  • Why use a database?

    I'm curious as to why one would use a database like mysql (or
    any other DB) over flash extracting information from a text file.
    (exceptions: password protection and search fields)
    Thank you.

    I just created an events application that uses a Flash
    calendar and
    integrates with ASP to produce XML on the fly to be used by
    Flash. I did it
    this way so the client could hold the vast number of city
    events in a
    database and I could easily create insert, update and delete
    pages to
    provide a simple tool for them to input the events
    themselves.

  • AAA Authorization Using Local Database

    Hi Guys,
    I'm planning to use AAA authorization using local database. I have read already about it, I have configured the AAA new-model command and I have setup user's already. But I'm stuck at the part where I will already give certain user access to certain commands using local database. Hope you can help on this.
    FYI: I know using ACS/TACACS+/RADIUS is much more easy and powerful but my company will most likely only use local database.

    For allowing limited read only access , use this example,
    We need these commands on the switch
    Switch(config)#do sh run | in priv
    username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123!
    username test privilege 0 password 0 cisco
    privilege exec level 0 show ip interface brief
    privilege exec level 0 show ip interface
    privilege exec level 0 show interface
    privilege exec level 0 show switch
    No need for user to login to enable mode. All priv 0 commands are now there in the user mode. See below
    User Access Verification
    Username: test
    Password:
    Switch>show ?
    diagnostic Show command for diagnostic
    flash1: display information about flash1: file system

  • 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.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-090890.html
    Check out these white papers if you have concerns
    "Migration to Automatic Storage Management (ASM)"
    "Best Practices for Creating a Low-Cost Storage Grid for Oracle Databases"
    In addition here's an example of using two different file systems with Data Guard

  • Creating database in flash

    Hi,
    I want to find out how i could possibly create and database in flash. I have been trying to create a signup form and a signin form. I have created the design but am unable to link it to database. I do have the knowledge of php so can i link the flash file with php?
    Thanks,
    Abinash

    Yes, you normally use a server-side scripting language such as PHP to act as a go between for Flash/DB interactions.  If you search Google using "AS3 PHP MySQL tutorial" you should be able to find something that can outline the process for you (substitute AS2 if that's your intent)

    You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.

  • I want to use Berkely database for my Dissertation

    Hello everyone,
    I am having some doubts regarding Berkely database. Actually, I am using this database for my project. The scenario of the project is, I have developed some business rules depending on the concept of Ripple Down Rules and represented the rules using Conceptual graphs. Now I want to store fire these business rules in to the Berkely database, so that my application can use these business rules from the Berkeley database.
    This is the context of my project. But, I am very new to this Berkely database. I have downloaded the Berkely database from the Oracle website and also installed it. The OS is am using is Windows XP SP2. Can anyone explain me how to store Conceptual graphs in a Berkely database.
    I am really a beginner to Berkely database. i don't even know what to do after installing the Berkely database. Please advise me about this.
    I would be very thankful to you.
    Cheers,
    Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    The simple answer is however you want. Berkeley DB doesn't put any constraints on how you store data in it. Its main purpose is to provide an efficient and scalable key/value storage and retrieval system, upon which you can build your own data storage system.
    More specifically, if you're representing graph data, the simplest way to do so is with the "edge list" paradigm. You could, for example, set up a pair of databases, one to store all your graph nodes (with associated metadata) and one for directed edges. I'm not sure what particular c structures you'll want to use for these, but I'd suggest using record numbers on both the nodes and the edges DBs, unless all your nodes have unique and meaningful names. I'd also allow duplicate records on your edges DB, and have a very simple record structure in it that simply maps from a source node id to a destination node it (the duplicates allow multiple edges from a given node.)
    If you have more specific constraints on your graph and algorithms you'd like to run on it, there are potentially more schemes you could use, such as the nested set representation for trees, and so on.
    Hope this helps,
    Daniel

  • Right way to code an AIR application that uses sqllite database

    I am developing an AIR application that uses sqllite database.I want to know the correct way in which I should create the connections and SQLstatements according to MVC pattern.For example,whether i should have a single SQLStatement object for all my sql operations or I should use separate objects for insert,delete,select etc.I know how to open connection,execute statements and all,but i want to know the professional way of writing it.

    Make a controller for connect to db and save the connection in global varible (in model). Use this connection variable whenever u wanna execute the sql statements. Create seperate dao's for each table. Queries should be executed under the daos. You can call the method under the dao for execute the query from controller and show the result in view.

  • Can we use different Databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in one report?

    Post Author: venki5star
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hi there.
    Can we use different databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in a same report?
    If possible how?
    Another question,
    Can we change the Provider Name at runtime of the given report. If so the above question is useless...
    Thanks in Advance.

    I tried this using Oracle Provider for OLEDB (the one that supplied by Oracle Client) and Crystal Reports 9. you can drag the column into designer but the image does not appear in preview.
    I guess it's because CR does not recognized it as image, and there are no information that the blob data is an image at all.

  • How can I use two database in Dataset in SSRS?

    Hi,
    I am using one query to generate my SSRS report. In that query I am using subquery. Now I am pulling data from multiple tales.
    DB used in sub query is different than the rest of the tables DB.(So total I am using 2 DB(Database))
    So I see that in SSRS, I can connect query(In DataSet Properties) to one DATA_SOURCE only, how can I use other database which is I used in sub-query?
    I have to move this SSRS into PROD and I can't hard code that sub-query's DB name in my query.
    Please give me suggestion. Thanks!!
    Vicky

    In SSRS 2008 R2 you can use the Lookup function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210531.aspx ) and LookupSet function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240819.aspx
    Depending on your security set up, you can reference a table in a second database on the same server using a three part name:  database.schema.table.  This is more likely to work for you if you wrap your SQL command in a stored procedure.

  • How to host one application using different database connection on OAS?

    Hi,
    Jdeveloper - 10.1.3.4
    Application - ADF/BC
    Oracle Application Server - 10.1.3
    Above our the specifications for our application,
    We have two database schemas different for development and production therfore we have different databse connections for the two,
    we have one application which is in production and enhacements on the same application are done by the development team.
    Since we have two different schemas for developement and prduction we use different database connections for the application on development and production.
    The problem is our Model and View Controller project are same, only the database connection file changes that's why we are able to host only on application at a time on our OAS. This is probably because the URL generated by OAS for developemnt and prodyction application is same.
    Is there a way we can host two instances of the same application with two different database connections on the a single OAS.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raksha

    Use different deployment profiles each with a different context root for your application?

  • How to use another database schema in Dictionary project

    Problem description:
    1)     I want to use Developer Studio to create my own J2EE project. Then I have to use Dictionary Project to maintain my database.  My database is Oracle.
    2)     I created tables in Dictionary project and deployed to database
    3)     After that I found my tables were deployed into SAPSR3DB schema.
    Question:
          What can I do if I want to deploy my tables into another schema other than SAPSR3DB?  In real cases I want to separate my tables from the WAS system tables.

    Hi Chaoran,
    If you want to use external database with Java dictionary tables..
    Right click on the Java Dictionary Table, from the menu select <b>Create DDL script</b>, then select to which data base you want to generate scripts. It will generate .sql scripts, use this scripts in your database to create tables. But the same time you need to create Data sources in Visual Administrator for your oracle system.

  • How can I delete a row in access using the database toolkit?

    I want to delete just one row of a access table using the database toolkit. Can it be done and if so How?

    Take a look at page A-1 of the database connetivity manual. It has information on making a sql query that will delete. You will need to use this command with the dbtools execute query function. Look in the shipping examples for an example with this function.
