Good Afternoon Flash Gurus,
Here’s my quandary:
I am attempting to create a combination of a guestbook and highscore list for a flash widget I’m working on for my myspace page. After the user goes through all of the motions to get the final outcome of this widget, they will be asked if they wish to post their results on the board for all to see.
The problem I’m running into is that most of the tutorials that I have seen, either deal with guestbook placing the entries into a scrollable text field, or a high score list that only deals with 2 fields of data.
In my case, I have a Scroll Pane component on the main timeline that called a “contentClip” movie clip. This “contentClip” holds the script that follows a for loop to attach as many “entryClips” as there are entries. In the “entryClip” there are several variables that I have set up in a mySql database that need to be passed, nameVar, locVar, wVar, and eVar. These variables are displayed within each “entryClip”.
What I would like to do is communicate with the mySql database via PHP to that when the database elements are transferred to the Flash movie, they are automatically put into several arrays (eg. nameArray, locArray, wArray, eArray) and then after that is complete, the “contentClip” populates itself with the “entryClips” displaying this information.
Now this puzzle may have already been covered in a previous forum post or tutorial, and that’s what I’m looking for. A good answer to my question. No opinions, no remarks, just an answer to my question. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: Here’s a link to what the final product should look like. Right now, I have the arrays hard coded into the flash piece so that I can see the Scroll Pane working correctly.
