Fwd: [PHP-DB] PHP, MySQL and Flash

hi! flash offers some great actionscript-functions to work with php (or any other serversided language) over http there is an object called LoadVars - i do not exactly know how to handle it within flash, but it can access php-scripts over http and send some post or get variables to it. in this script you can connect to the sql-db and update it using the information provided by the swf. maybe there are ready drag'n'drop-components: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/components.html (specally http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/php.html) or take a short look at http://www.flashkit.com (maybe you find some resources there) hope this helps? .ma Am Mittwoch, 09.07.03 um 14:36 Uhr schrieb Rankin, Randy:

Does anyone know of any articles on integrating PHP, MySQL and Flash to perform a drag and drop routine for updating a db? Specifically, I have a client who is _INSISTING_ that I integrate a drag and drop feature into his railcar storage application. He wants to be able to view two railcar storage tracks, Track A and Track B, then drag and drop cars from Track A to Track B ( or Track B to Track A ). Once he positions ( orders ) all the cars properly on each track, I need to update a MySQL db to reflect the changes. I have already developed the above feature so that he can do this 'textually', but he is _determined_ that he must have the graphic 'drag and drop' feature. There may be another method ( Javascript ? ) to accomplish the same effect. I am certainly open to any advice and/or opinions. Any pointers would be _greatly_ appreciated. Thanks, Randy Rankin
