    Dynamically loaded Components

    I want to populate a flash component such as a ComboBox or SelectBox with dynamic content.

    the information is bieng obtained using PHP and MySql and in flash the "a.sendAndLoad" command.

    How do i go about doing this? i ran across some XML references, and i want to know if its the only option.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    You could use AMFPHP, php remoting for flash. This will give you the ability to return recordsets to flash which you can set as dataprovider to any of mm's data-aware components.

    AMFPHP Homepage: http://www.amfphp.org/

    Install and Setup Tutorial and various examples on his site: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/fl..._installation/

    Forum and more examples and files:

    Hope this helps some,
    Dunc

    sounds interesting.. but it is in its extremely early stages of development. plus there is a problem with data types coming from mysql... what i understood about that is that array's won't work.

    i was really hoping for a snippit of code i can modify or some information on how to write the code myself.. i don't want to remake the whole file, its doing so well already.

    any ideas anyone? please? its getting desperate..

    Good stuff for dynamic content through MySQL/PHP!

    Hey Webchef,

    A good place for your problem: www.ssdesigninteractive.com

    This site is from a guy in India who's also a well respected contributor to MacroMedia's site when it comes to dynamic content.

    I bought the dropdown and datagrid components from him and primo: they're great and secundo: they work!

    Check out his site! I'm sure you'll find the answers you're looking for.

    Greetings
