Hi there,
I just had to design a code which could make flash format data in a way similar to html tables which a designer could play with and make pretty without having to code.
Basically its just text boxes which can resize automatically on a vertical scale only.
below is an ugly example.
Currently I am using an xml file to store the data. Which I am told by the ASP developer at my work - is a bad way to go about it.
He has requested a version which talks directly to the MySQL database.
Problem is, I dont really know where to start.
Currently each textfeild has the same instance name. it is only the duplicated movie clip it resides in which has its name set dynamically.
eg:
_root.mc_00.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
_root.mc_01.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
_root.mc_02.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
_root.mc_10.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
_root.mc_11.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
_root.mc_12.row1.htmlText = xmlNode data;
Not really too sure how to do something similar without xml. or what to ask him to give me. I had a look at URL encoded strings but not sure how to set textfields var dynamically either.
there is a file attached which may help explain.
Any Suggestions?
