I know this is “server-side” but it’s very FMX04 specific.
Gods of Kirupa - could someone PLEASE write a tutorial that covers the following (step 4 is my main concern):
Management of a mySQL database with Flash MX Professional 2004 - specifically:
-
How to load information from a database using the new Remoting connection component and AMFPHP (I know how to do this part).
-
How to get that information into a dataSet (I know how to do that too).
-
How to manipulate the items in a dataSet (I can do that).
-
How to use the XML deltaPacket produced by the RDBMSResolver component to INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE records from the server-side database using AMFPHP. This is the part that I can’t do. I know that it involves the creation of an AMFPHP method that can parse the nodes, but I don’t know where to start on that, and thought that maybe someone had already found a good way to do it. Also, I don’t know /how/ the dataPacket is “delivered to the server” (e.g. GET or POST?).
-
How to handle the result returned by an update packet.
It seems like this kind of tutorial would help a LOT of people, and I’m sure some of the more FMX04 capable people in here have already conquered it.
I’ve looked all over and I STILL haven’t found one FULL tutorial or example of how to handle all of these issues.
Thank you! :s:
(ps - forgive me for posting a similar question in some other site forums - this one was down)
