hi!
I’d like to do in **Flash MX 2004 **(i’m soon upgrading to 8 so if it is easier with it tell me!)a Calendar showing the days of the month and the events happening on that day. The user can either click on the day to get more info on the event or else select another month… (the current month is shown on the “front screen”).
Now at the backend there will be a system were the site admin (or any other authorised user) inputs the events for each day.
So I just wanted to hear your views and suggestions (or if you know of any ready made app) which does this job.
I’m thinking of doing a backend site where the user selects a date, inputs event title and event description in an HTML-PHP form. This info is saved in a MySQL database and then flash looks for each day in the database and loads the appropriate info.
problems I think i might have:
[list]
[]Is MySQL the best approach or can I use something else? maybe XML?
[]How can i make flash get this info quickly, especially to extract the days and title and display them… what kind of search do you suggest? just search through database table for days consecutively?
[*]Is there a function in flash which loads the days automatically or do i have to write down all dates-days-months (e.g. November 16 2005 is wednesday)?
[/list]I hope I was clear enough, and thanks in advance for your help.
ask if you need further clarification!
regards.
Matt
