After reading your "spec", I would have some definite questions about the architecture of your app. It sounds a little odd and I'm doubting that what you're thinking will fly in the real world.
1) Is there some server or client side tool to read a .psd and grab and manipulate layers? I've never heard of one, and I'd be interested if such exists. What problem are you trying to solve? Is there some reason your "banners" must be stored in .psd file? 2) Why are you focused on editing the .fla file and storing it in the DB? I would think that images and text would be loaded into a single .swf at runtime and any data about the image/text would be stored in the DB, not the flash file itself. What's a stored .fla file going to get you anyway? You still have to compile it. I would think that any solution that's going to work would be based around a data model and loading/manipulating data at runtime, not manipulating .psd and .fla files. The editing results (such as a snapshot of your edited image, and the text manipulation (font size, text itself, position and so forth)) can be saved to the db and re-loaded, edited, etc. Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of vuthecuong Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] need your advice on flash or flex On next month I will incharge of web-based app project that: ========================== 1) - Read layers of PSD file (photoshop) then create banner of each layer. - Display images in categories. - Drage and drop image into banner (gif file) frame. - rotate, resize text and image inside that banner. 2) - insert flash file (.fla?) to DB. - load that flash files into web GUI - edit text and image inside that flash file. - save back to DB. ====================== So my questions are: - what tool I should use? flash? or flex? or both? or ajax with php? and why? - about "insert flash file (.fla?) to DB", this web app is for intranet use only, and size of flash file is less then 300kb. So should I need to pay attention on performance etc? - especially edit text and image inside flash file (fla?), flash or flex is better to use? why? I'm very confused. Please help me. I need your help. regards, -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/need-your-advice-on-flash-or-flex-tp20227710p20227 710.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf- 1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!
