So I’m working on this project for my school’s library. I need to make an interactive calendar with which teachers can sign up for the computers in the Lab and Library. I’m using mostly ActionScript 2.0, and this is what I have so far.
Basically I need a calendar for each month of the year, in which you can click on each day, and edit it. It will have to have a drop-down box in so that you can select which class you need to schedule them for (1-7) and two check-boxes to choose either Lab, Library, or both. It will be used on many computers throughout the school, and so it will need to be able to write to XML (via PHP I presume?) and reload the XML file directly after the changes are made. It will all be password protected. I’ve figured that much out already, lol.
I’ve run into a hundred thousand problems. Everything I know has been self-taught or learned from the amazing Kirupa tutorials (I’m sure most of you are the same way!). So far I’ve tried combining several tutorials, the most promising of which was the XML Guestbook Tutorial. I wasn’t able to get that to work, but then again, I *am *adapting it to work with something completely different. Also, I tried using a tutorial to render a calendar instead of hand-drawing each month (I don’t even want to think of how long that would take!). I wasn’t even able to successfully complete the calendar tutorial!
So, after over twelve frustrating hours, and two Flash CS3 crashes, I’m turning to the Kirupa community for help. Any help you can give would be wonderfully appreciated!
