• Sending variables to php to Flash Builder

  Hi guys,.

  I made a form that, once sent to a Mysql server adds a table to a database.

  Here is the code I use in Flash Builder:

  ...

  "" < mx:HTTPService id = "srv" url ="http://mysite.com/addTeam.php" method = "POST">

  < mx:request >

  < format > {teamName.text} < / formatting >

  < City > {city.text} < / City >

  < / mx:request >

  < / mx:HTTPService >

  ...

  " < mx:Form x ="25"y ="10">

  " < mx:FormHeading label ="Add team"/ > "

  " < mx:FormItem label ="team name">

  " < s:TextInput id ="format"/ > "

  < / mx:FormItem >

  " < mx:FormItem label ="City">

  " < s:TextInput id ="City"/ > "

  < / mx:FormItem >

  < mx:FormItem >

  " < s:Button label ="Add"click ="srv.send ()"/ >

  < / mx:FormItem >

  And here is my addTeam.php file:

  <? PHP

  $teamName = $_POST ['format'];
  $city = $_POST ['city'];
  $addteam = $teamName. » ". $city;
  $connection = mysqli_connect ("host", "username", "password", "db") or die (mysqli_connect_error ());
  mysqli_query ($connection, "CHARACTER SET utf8" ');  the additional table will be in Bulgarian language
  $sql = "CREATE TABLE"$addteam"
  (
  FirstName varchar (20),
  Name varchar (20),
  Name varchar (20),
  position varchar (20),
  price int
  )
  ";
  mysqli_query ($connection, $sql) or die ("failed query:". "") mysqli_error ($Connection));
  

  ? >

  My question is: How can I find a text to Flash Builder if her request was successful or failed (as "echo") so that the user (admin in this case) knows what is going on and not just by clicking on the Add button and having to go to phpmyadmin to see if the table has been created or not?

  You stated

  <>

  ID = "srv" url ="http://mysite.com/addTeam.php" method = "POST" > "

  Just add

  result = "yourResultHandler ()" / > "

  then create the function that would deal with the result.

  <>

  "ID ="srv"url ="http://mysite.com/addTeam.php"method ="POST"result =" yourResultHandler (event) ">

• Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP and SDK 2 questions

  I have problems with Flash Builder for PHP 4.6 and the Playbook Air SDK 2.0. It worked fine with the Air SDK 1 Playbook, but for 2.0 he moved not (error integration with Flash Builder) and when I try to update in Flash builder I get an error of missing requirements. Flash builder 4.6 works fine with the PlayBook SDK, but not the PHP version. I bought the PHP version after the end of my trial of 4.6 so I could build an app that tied in the server services and to think that both versions are the same.

  Everyone knows this and is at - it a solution?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Flash Builder for PHP 4.6 is not supported by the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

• Cannot install Flash Builder for PHP 4.6

  I have FB4.5 installed premium and purchased a license to upgrade to version 'for PHP. I downloaded the 2 files on the adobe web site (only V4.6 seems to be downloadable now) - FlashBuilderPHP_4_6_LS1.7z and FlashBuilderPHP_4_6_LS1.exe. The installation will passed specifying options, but just before he finishes it says "roll back the installation" and closes. I was hunting autour and founf PDApp.log and these are the last lines. They give me any indication as to what has bad shot, except maybe the first one here, but it keeps going for a little while after this message. I tried 3 times now with a reboot between the two, and it fails every time. It's time to download a new copy installation files or get a DVD?

• Pre-Noob question, Flash Builder for PHP and MySQL... can pack and write?

  So I am COMPLETELY new to Flash Builder and Flex universe, but I'm familiar with PHP / MySQL. One thing that has not been specifically stated to me, is what Flash Builder with (Zend) PHP with the MySQL database when it is packaged and exported? If he did enter the database and is able to execute the query PHP application to the MySQL database within the application?

  I'm confused if she needs to go on the web and communicate with the server. Can he communicate with a LOCAL database?

  Thank you!!

  No Flash Builder package not the final result with data base and

  webserver. To run your application locally you would need to have a

  PHP and Mysql Web server running on your local computer.

  Maybe watch using wamp http://www.wampserver.com

  http://www.imonggo.com/> on your local computer.

  Otherwise I suggest you will probably need to create your program in

  Java who can speak directly to local databases without the need for php.

• Removal of Flash Builder 4.5 installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP

  There is a very serious mistake with the Flash Builder 4.5 to install PHP (of http://static.zend.com/topics/Flash-Builder-for-PHP-4.5.0-Release-Notes.txt ):

  If Flash Builder 4.5 (not PHP) is already installed on the machine, and the 
    product (Flash Builder for PHP 4.5) is then installed in a different location, 
    the user gets the "FB is installed" dialog.
    After clicking OK, the installation rolls back and removes both Flash Builder
    and Flash Builder for PHP.

  My questions:

  Can Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP be installed in the same location without deleting Flash Builder 4.5? If so, please define 'location '.

  Is there a work around for installing the two flavors of Flash Builder 4.5 and avoiding the issue of the above deletion?

  Can be a single version of do-it-all of Flash Builder 4.5 install that combines the features of these two flavors of the SDK and Flash Builder 4.5 product?

  Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP includes the exact version of Flash Builder 4.5. We do not allow facilities side by side of Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP, you need to uninstall Flash Builder 4.5 before installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. The error message you see is that we have not detected FB 4.5 earlier in the installation process, but after you close the dialog box you should just be able to run the FBPHP installation program once again without a problem.

  Hope that makes sense!

• Installation of Flash builder 4 has somehow broken my launch of running/debugging/profiling of flex builder 3.

  After installing Flash builder 4 neither to him nor to flex builder 3 has been able to launch flex swf:s. After hitting to run or debug flex gives a prompt saying "Flash Player is not found. Flex builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player. You need to maybe install Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version? ». The popup itself happened before the installation of flash builder 4. But normally I would hit just Yes and he would use any flashplayer is default.

  Now, if I click Yes it launch command prompt with a path to the installation folder of flex 3 Builder. When running flash builder 4, same happens except the path is the folder of installation of flash builder 4. Flex then begins waiting for connection of the debugger, and after awhile, he invites a timeout message. The title of command prompts is... \workspace\project\bin-debug\filename.swf.

  When you open the SWFs directly from windows, they open fine.

  I used the uninstaller for flash player software and recovered both fp9 & 10 and reinstalled the. That did not help. When we browser everything works fine, the problem occurs only when you launch standalone player. I tried to check the registry settings if there is something wrong, but all the flashplayers paths seem to be ok.

  Is there another hope to solve this problem than to reinstall flex builder 3 and flash builder 4 from scratch?

  You need content installed FP debugger

  http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html download from here and install it and you should see the problem go away

  Download the Flash Player 10 ActiveX Windows control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 2.03 MB)

• 4.7 Flash builder 4.5 Flash Builder upgrade problem (key is not valid)

  Hello

  We (the company) buy Adobe products now more than 6-7 years. We bought the Flash builder 4.5 premium and premium Flash builder 4.5 for volume PHP license. Now flash builder 4.7 should be complementary upgrade for us. But when we are using the trial version of Flash builder 4.7 and addition of serial number (serial number of Flash builder 4.5), it is simply not working and showing an error "the key is not valid.

  I chat with Adobe customer care 4 different people, they find themselves saying that we transfer you volume license Department and then chat on sale. No message chat more, I checked over an hour and still no message.

  So I called, it took 15 minutes to communicate with the service the customer. I chose the option 'upgrade' from the menu of the phone and then connected with a guy. After listening full case he passed my call to the Executive of license Volume and of the Executive of license volume transferred to another guy and the other guy to some person capacit¨¦s redirect. So in total 4 guys. The last guy (specialized) called Rohit.

  Rohit guy asked me, I buy a customer support program (some product on $2.nn.00)? I said no, we purchased volume licenses for Flash builder 4.5 premium (subject to $4000.00 *). He said, sorry Sir I can't help you in this area, but I can provide you with an e-mail address and you can report your concern here. I already spent my 1.5 hour in this conversation. I said okie. He gave me a case number and told me that he will send an email stating that the e-mail address in my application I have to unplug the phone.

  I never get this email address.

  Can someone suggest me what to do next. Is my file number: 209-788-274.

  My email is: [email protected]

  Thank you

  @Amitabh: I understand that volume license team has reached out and helped solve the problem here, but please let me know if you have any questions outstanding.

• NullPointerExceptions endless in Flash Builder 4.5

  I have been using Flash Builder 4.5 with the kit Flex 3 SDK. 5 b on Mac OS X 10.8.2 for a few months. It was not an experience perfect - the software has a few bugs, but in general he worked until recently.

  Our application includes two Flash Builder 'projects', which refers to the other. Whenever clone us the repository, it is necessary to update the file .project of the primary project to include the new path of the secondary project.

  The last thing I did before all broken did was move the folder containing the project to a new location. As expected, when I open Flash Builder, it complained that it couldn't find my project files, and they were all marked as inaccessible in the "Package Explorer" view. I did not remove inaccessible project in my workspace, but I tried to re - import the main project of his new location. It was the first time I saw a dialog box that has haunted me since:

  

  The view of 'Problems' told me to return in the errorlog...

  

  .. but the error log was empty!

  The "Package Explorer" view has not changed (the new draft has not been listed) so I decided to just try the import again. When I chose the directory of the project, Flash Builder said that I couldn't import it because the project was already in the workspace. "But the Explorer Package says it's not... maybe he'll try again if I restart Flash Builder" I thought. I have bad thought. When I rebooted, it is what I saw:

  

  java.lang.NullPointerException
      at com.adobe.flexbuilder.util.PathUtils.resolveLocaleInSourcePath(PathUtils.java:297)
      at com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.actionscript.internal.ActionScriptProject.getProjectPath(ActionScriptProject.java:713)
      at com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.actionscript.internal.ActionScriptProject.getSourceContainers(ActionScriptProject.java:681)

      at com.adobe.flexbuilder.as.editor.ui.packageexplorer.FlexPackageExplorerContentProvider.inputChanged(FlexPackageExplorerContentProvider.java:449)
      [...]

  He could not yet list the projects so that I could remove the one that was the origin of the problem. A similar message was displayed in the mode "Editor." Deleting all files from the project did not help either. I was unable to set the workspace, and the only way I could continue to use Flash Builder has been creating a new workspace.

  Since then, I tried a lot of different things:

  • Reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5.
  • Reinstalled Flex SDK 3. 5b.
  • Excerpt from a six - month old version of the project.
  • Flash Builder 4.6 upgrade.
  • Created a new user profile on my computer.
  • Tried to remove some trace could have broken things:
    1. Instruments to monitor the process of Flash Builder affects all files.
    2. Uninstalled Flash Builder.
    3. Used find to locate include files builder or eclipse in their name.
    4. Delete all the files found in (1) or (3) who seemed possibly related to Flash Builder.
    5. Reinstalled Flash Builder.
  • Installed Flash Builder 4.5 on another Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
  • Installed Flash Builder 4.5 in a Windows 7 VM.

  None has made any difference. It seems impossible.

  Other members of my team have worked on this project for a few years without running into this particular issue, yet now project versions from before that I started appear to be broken, and even with the help of new installations of Flash Builder on entirely different systems also violates.

  I don't know what is happening. It seems I must have done something else and forgot about it, because the current situation makes no sense. Someone has encountered this problem before? Do you have an idea what could be causing it, or that I could do about it?

  We finally found a solution. It's rather disappointing.

  Ignore any errors.

  Import your project files and activate the correct SDK version in the order you want. If you find yourself with a messed up view "Project Explorer", with just the close and reopen it or restart Flash Builder.

  Once the display of "Project Explorer" is available, select your primary project and run it. It should work!

  Yes, which is not built-in glyphs you want. For a simple example, add MS UI Gothic or (good God) Adobe Heiti Std you know where it will contain glyphs. Try not to pass out when you see how long it takes to export the SWF file or how big it is. You should now see your characters.

  I really think you should consider using device fonts. Even just for a test. Define the textfield does NOT integrate and include a device font that you know supports the characters and assign it to the TextField. Your Chinese should appear here (all other languages that the police have glyphs for), without adding to the size of the SWF file.

  In flash builder, you have the option of specifying fonts beaches to integrate that you don't have with flash CS5.5. It's not fair, but that's how it is. Your system (usually the value latin/English) code page is read by flash and he decides what you mean by 'includes all the glyphs '. Even when you select include all, it won't. But if you are in China on a Chinese OS, it includes these glyphs as the code page is set differently. Stupid Flash... The only way to break the balance, is to use a known set of Asian fonts. Beware, some fonts include the Chinese but not Korean or Arabic or Japanese, etc. Find a universal policy weighs a TON in the size of the file.

• I need help in creating one (Table / Grid) using Flash Builder (not a datagrid)

  I'm looking for a way to create a dynamic table / grid somewhat like a sheet or spread html table. but I want to create all the cells via a loop.

  The following diagram was created using php to execute a loop and writing on the cells and the duration for each cell in the grid/table. But I have no idea where to start in flash builder to build something like this.

  Some cells will last 2 to 4 columns as shown in the following diagram.

  

  Any suggestions on how to create this type of table or grid in Flash Builder?

  I looked through most of the components, but I'm not sure which component to use.

  Help in this would be greatly appreciated.

• Flash Builder UI

  Why ADM is discouraged in new versions and what are the benefits of Flash builder on it?

  and please give me a link so that I can learn more about flash...?

  SMA is a fairly old technology and is gradually removed from Illustrator, so why it is not recommended. If you create a plugin that uses WMD in CS5 so do not expect that it will work in CS6!

  Flash UI, which are the CSXS Extensions can be created in flash builder, Extension Builder (which is a plugin for flash builder specially designed for the development of the extension). You can download a trial version of EB and read the documentation and tutorials on the devnet page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/cs-extension-builder.html

  As well as the interface user for plugins, you can also write extensions entirely in actionscript that interact directly with the Illustrator script DOM (using libraries CSAW), in fact the extensions can be extremely powerful - have a look at the blog of messages/tutorials related to this devnet page if you are interested. Another good point is that if you develop for many products, you can write the user interface once and it will work I, Ps, Id, and more.

  As for which is better, it is certainly much faster to develop actionscript based UIS - take a look at the example of FreeGridUI in the CS5 SDK or download the sample in Extension Builder extensions (available under the eclipse Import... menu item) to see how easy it is to write an extension. The main complexity with use of an extension as a front-end is the communication between the native plugin and extension flash (which is possible by sending XML via CSXS events), but it's pretty simple once you've done it a couple of times!

  For the user interface, you can drag and drop widgets in a graphical editor, write and modify your MXML (an XML variant) user interface code and previsualisez without evening that executes your code - it had developed a compelling UI really quick and easy. Not only that, but the use of the generator of the extension, it is easy to run/debug/profile your extension directly in Illustrator (or other point products). There are full of large flash applications and a large community - a community much larger than those experienced with ADM. If you try to find a way to do something in an actionscript UI you will probably be able to find something quickly - after all an extension is based on flash, so you can reuse code snippets and code flash/Air applications.

  For learning flash, the Flex in a week video tutorial is a great place to start - check it out at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html. You should be aware that extensions must use Flex 3.4 to CS5/5.5, then part of the substance in the flex in a tutorial of the week does not apply (it is oriented towards Flex 4). There are also a lot of great samples/tutorials on the internet to help you get started, and samples that come with builder extension show you how to use the CSXS stack for things like menus that drop down from the Panel, preferences, etc.

  As well as Flash you can also write your user interface code items in a third party such as Qt so widget setting you prefer to stay in C++ code. I have not tried it personally, but there are a few messages on the forum, that you may find useful if you are interested in this approach, and other users might be able to help too.

  Hope that helps, sorry for the somewhat disjointed response!
