phpobject or similar working with flash7

[trixie stalker]

hi

my problem is quite simple, but i can imagine that there might be no solution to it.

i hope somebody here can prove me wrong.

i am using phpobject and am quite satisfied with it up to this point:

it doesn't work with flash 7 (took me ages to figure that out):

if i export as flash6 (i'm using flash mx pro 2004 - 7.1) everything works fine,
but i'd like to use the css-support new in flash7,
and when i'm exporting my swf as flash7 it says "please provide a valid key".


so if anyone could tell me whether i can/should

make phpobject fit to flash7 or
use css support in flash 6 or
use any alternative to phpobject (musicman? amfphp?)


thanks in advance

Hi,

as far as I have seen macromedia is still working on some remoting / amf components.
The following is just calling the native functions, without any wrapper code, and should work

nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect('http://yoursite.com/gateway.php');

reply = {};
rely.onResult = function(result)
{ // result will be an object
};
nc.call('func.code',reply,data);

hey musicman,
thank you very much for your answer.

just... could you explain a bit more bottom up what this code does?

it's not completely new to me but i made phpobject work using the instructions and with plenty of trial&error-method, so maybe this gives you a bit of a picture of my knowledge.

specific questions would be:

rely.onResult = function(result) -> i assume this means reply.onResult?
{ // result will be an object
}; ->how do I init my object from the point where the result is given back?
myObject = result?

nc.call('func.code',reply,data); ->what exactly does the func.code mean?
do i have to fill in the php-syntax that starts the php-side object?


oh, and could it be i don't need phpobject for this approach anymore, so that i use the nc.connect thing to just link directly to (in my case) the sql-class i build in php, or is the gateway file the one that does the transfer between flash&php?


maybe this sounds very newbie, anyways...
thank you

Hi,

this is intended to go with the amfphp gateway.
If you look at version 6 remoting docs, and at the amf examples, they all use a slightly different code, utilizing a netservices.as file
So this code just avoids the netservices.as

The remoting model (as implemented by mcreomedia's own server) assumes a single url to handle all requests and therefore passes a two-level function code to the server.
The data passed to the server could be anything - e.g. an object followed by two strings
The return value is one single php variable, usually an array or object.

thanks again,

i had quite a hard time the last couple of hours trying to make this work, and unfortunately i failed

so i feel a bit sorry to bother you again,
but if i provide you with some basic information could you explain it to me again the babysteps way?

so i have this class called sql which includes a twodimensional array of objects for each type of data i want to get from my sql-database (like city_obj, user_obj etc,
and a function callerd start which inits the array:

class sql

//...

function sql()
$this->start();

//...

function start()
$this->data["city"] = array();
$this->data["user"] = array();
//etc.

$this->data["city"][0] = new city_obj();
//etc.

(don't care about syntax, this is just to show the structure of my class)

i tried both using your suggestion as well as using the getService method (the standard way).

thanks for caring

ah forget it,

i'm stuck on this for 14 hours now and i think it would be easier to just get along with flash 6 and no css support.

musicman, thanks again for your support
