RE: [PHP] FLASH AND PHP
If you put this code behind a button in Flash 5 (for example):
on (release) {
//Construct and XML object to hold request type
requestXml = new XML();
requestElement = requestXml.createElement("REQUEST");
requestElement.attributes.request = "MyRequest/";
requestXml.contentType = 'text/xml';
requestXml.appendChild( requestElement );
requestXml.contentType = 'text/xml';
//Construct an XML object to hold the servers (webobject's) reply
requestReplyXml = new XML();
requestReplyXml.onLoad = onRequestReply;
//debug
requestXml.xmlDecl = "?xml version=\"1.0\" ?";
trace( "Request sent" );
trace( requestXml.docTypeDecl );
trace( requestXml.xmlDecl );
//Send the request object to the server
cRequest = "Sent request...";
requestXml.sendAndLoad( "http://www.foo.com/dataretriever.php",
requestReplyXML );
cRequest = "Waiting For Reply...";
}
function onRequestReply () {
//Get the first XML element
var e = this.firstChild;
var _level0:TotalStoreNumber = 0;
var i = -1;
if( e != null ){
do {
if( e.nodeName == "REQUESTREPLY")
e = e.firstChild;
else
//Do what you want with the xml data
//
if( e.nodeName == "STORE") {
cStoreList += ( e.attributes.NAME + " - " +
e.attributes.ADDRESS +
newline );
if( i == -1 )
i = 1;
else
i++;
eval( "_level0:n" + i ) = i;
eval( "_level0:s" + i ) = e.attributes.NAME;
eval( "_level0:c" + i ) = 111;
}
e = e.nextSibling;
} while( e != null )
}
}
dataretriever.php can then query your DB/build an xml document (see php.net
on how to read/create XML files in PHP) and output it as normal. Flash will
recognise the xml and then you can parse the xml doc returned from your php
script and build the flash object accordingly.
Of course, you don't have to pass xml to your php script, you could just
pass a URL parameter but xml gives you a great framework for expansion
without breaking existing code.
This line is the key:
requestXml.contentType = 'text/xml';
and you won't find it mentioned in the current flash 5 documentation!

Or alternatively use the xml object to send an xml (flash 5) document to
php
which then waits for an xml response.

If you are wanting to use pregenerated FLASH scripts ( and not
build them on
the fly with libswf or ming) then what you want to do, without
having to buy
Generator for your server is...
In the beginning of you falsh file, do a load variables from
a PHP page,
that queries a database or whatever, gets the data, and echoes it
out to the
FLASH file in the format expected by load variables. Tack on
a variable
at
the end called loadDone and set it to 1 (or true)
In flash, you have to put in a loop in the second frame, or after the
loadvariables command, that checks to see if loadDone==1, to make
sure that
all the variables have loaded.
You cannot assume that the variables will load within a certain
time period.
If they don't, the rest of your scripts will break.
That, is how you can pass a lot of dynamic information into your
flash file,
without the use of server side generator install from macromedia.
