I'm not sure if I am understanding your question, but maybe this will help.
Flex can communicate with a server in several ways. One way that flex can communicate with a server is by pretty much acting the same as a browser: i.e. it can submit get and post requests which will look exactly the same to the server as get and post requests submitted by a browser. Thus you can probably process form submissions on the server using exactly the same PHP code that you are using for browser-submitted forms. Similarly, flex can get the server's response to such a request, and can process the provided information. However, unless you are simply going to display it to the user, you probably do not want the server to respond with a page of HTML, but rather was something that will be useful for flex. Thus this might be where you would want to start changing your server-side code to act differently for flex as opposed to the browser. Flex also has built-in classes for communicating with web services, Flash Remoting, and LiveCycle Data Services. One of the nice things about the latter two approaches is that a gateway takes care of translating data between flash and the server so that each can work in its native datatypes. For example, if one is using a PHP server, the gateway will take submitted flash data and convert it to PHP data, and take the returned PHP data and convert it to flash data. Thus you can work with native datatypes on both the client and server without having to worry about conversions. Obviously, none of the above tells you how to do any of this, but hopefully it gives you some starting points for further research, or asking more specific questions. ----- Original Message ---- From: brucewhealton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 3:26:30 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Form Processing in Flex Hello all, I think I wasn't clear when I discussed something related to this previously in a posting. I see some very useful and elegant tools for creating form elements using Flex. When designing in xhtml, using Dreamweaver, I call the form processor from the opening form tag, which calls a php file - that's I have been using, mainly for form processing. It returns the values entered. I'm not clear how this would work in Flex. Everything in the Flex application is compiled. So, how do you access the content entered by the user that comes to the form? Can someone explain how this works, please? Does this require a certain type of form processor? Thanks, Bruce
