Re: [Flashcoders] Couple questions re Zinc and Access

Dave, Try the flat file DB called SQLite. There is an open source dll (mac version also) which connects Zinc to SQLIte DB. This is very simple and you dont need to worry about ODBC and stuffs... The SQLite is capable of handling almost all the SQL queries also. -Vipin On 7/26/07, Dave Burnett <[E

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app

Using getTime() isn't ideal since that's creating a timestamp based on milliseconds, which would be unique. The first option is probably the safer bet to be able to index things by a specific date (as opposed to a time). If you're using AS3, then I'd say use a Dictionary object (same as a hash, exc

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app

That is a very expensive way to do it. You should, instead, make a hash and the keys would be the date, and the values would be an array of appointments for that date. events = {}; events[month + "/" + day + "/" + year] = []; events[month + "/" + day + "/" + year].push(appointment); Then each

[Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app

Hi I have a simple Calendar class which creates a new month display when the application first loads and each time the user changes the month. I need to add appointments on specific days for each month. I have an appointment array, which contains a list of date strings in the format 'month/day/y

[Flashcoders] Q:Refactoring, private and static variables in AS2

Hi I need a refresher in when to declare Private as well as Static variables when extending another class (in AS2). ie if you have private variables declared in the Super class, is it necessary to (re) declare them in the sub class? What about static variables? Are there a 'best practices' to
