mySQL to Flash import class - run queries from AS2 simply & automatically

mySQL2AS package with DataGrid...

This incredibly simple tool takes 5 minutes to set up and allows you to run mySQL queries and return results to flash using Actionscript 2 just as you can in PHP or any other language. Just 3 lines at the top of your flash document make mySQL queries a single function call away.  You can loop through the results, trace them all to the output panel and even display them in a datagrid (a flash table) on the stage.
Check it out, easy as pie:
 
mysqlQuery("SELECT * FROM newsdemo", onQueryComplete)

The onQueryComplete parameter is your own function to run after results are returned. Click image below for full examples with notes & instructions:




Included:
flashconnect.php: A php file which gets the database results and sends them to flash
mysql2as.as: The main function library for this package
mysql2as.fla: Flash CS3 project with full demos and comments
Instructions.txt: Simple step by step setup instructions.


You will need:
Basic-Intermediate knowledge of actionscript 2.0
PHP enabled web server with a mySQL database already set up (tutorial here) 
connect.php: A php file on your server which connects to your database. (tutorial here) 

Buy using PayPal for USD$9:



Licence:
$9 for use on unlimited commercial or personal projects.

One other feature that I didn't mention above:
You can get the last inserted auto ID after an INSERT statement by adding another parameter to your onQueryComplete function like so:

function onQueryComplete(resultsArray, lastInsertID){
traceSQL(resultsArray)
trace("If you ran an INSERT statement, the last auto ID added to database was: "+lastInsertID)
}

can I use it in order to develop a flash website backend? I want to retrieve videos URL, images and modify text ?

Unknown said...

Yes, It can be used for this. You must have a knowledge of mySQL to use it tho. You need to have a database up and running before you can connect it to from flash.

Hello!!!

How to include variables in query string??
It's possible??

Thanks

Unknown said...

If by query string you mean the php script path, then yes, as far as I know flash has no problem sending GET variables to php in this way.

Regards blank records causing offset problems - I will look into this when I get a chance but it might be a while before i can get around to it.

I have had a look at blank records causing offset problems and I cant find any bugs. Everything is working normally.

The ranges present a tough outcome of between 90% to 160% (200% for skilled players). A scatter is a pay mixture based mostly on occurrences of a chosen image landing anywhere on the reels, quite than falling in sequence on the identical payline. A scatter pay usually requires a minimum of three symbols to land, and the machine could provide increased prizes or jackpots depending on the 배당 토토 number that land. Scatters are regularly used to trigger bonus games, such as free spins .
