As Darrell Ross suggested, maybe I need to clarify things a bit. So
here's an example of what I'd like to learn how to do right now.
Let's suppose I have an MS-SQL database, call it LM_Test. In
LM_Test, I have a table called Identification. That table has 3
fields - ID_Num (32-bit Integer), FirstName (25-char String), and
LastName (25-char String).
The Database is connected to CF (thru the ODBC data services on
Windows 2003), and CF knows it as LM_Test. The CF8 Admin page shows
that its connection to the database is OK.
I understand how to do all of the above, and they are actually in
operation on my server right now. So no problems there.
Now, let's say I want to create a very simple Flex app that will
display the three fields in 3 standard TextInput boxes, and will
allow me to scroll through each record in the database with a couple
of buttons labeled Prev and Next. Also, I want to be able to change
the data (so I assume I need a "Save" button perhaps?). And finally,
I want to be able to add a new record to the database (so an "Add"
button too, I guess?)
That's where I get stuck -- I have no clue what I need to write in CF
(if anything) and what I need to write in Flex to accomplish the
above. Sure, I can write a simple Flex app with three TextInput
boxes, but how do I link them to the database, and get them to
display the data from one record in the database? And, of course,
get the Prev, Next, Save, and Add buttons to work.
Sorry to take up so much of your time, but I can't find any *simple*
examples of how to do this.
Thanks,
