This tutorial will go over how to create a dynamic Flash slide show in WordPress using Peak Studios Flash Php MySQL extension.

You can follow along on the video or simply follow the steps below.   You will see (sv:some time) at the start each section.  This lets you know where to cue the video tutorial to if you want to learn more about the function.

Set up your Flash file | (sv:0:25)

• Create .fla and save as anything you want.
• Add slideshow_mc to library.
  1. Export for AS and in 1st frame.
  2. Bassclass should be “slideshow”.
• Set up publish settings
  1. AS3 settings > import Flash Php MySQL classes
  2. Set access to network only
• Set document class to “slideshowtostage”

Set up slide show in WordPress | (sv:7:45)

• Add custom field.
  1. Name it “home_pics”.
  2. Make a comma separated list of your images
• Upload images to WordPress root in a folder named “home-slides”. Also have this folder next to your Flash file on your computer.
• Create and upload the PHP create by the Flash PHP MySQL extension.

Create slideshowtostage.as | (sv:3:05)

package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public function slideshowtostage(){
//add your stuff to the stage.
ss.cacheAsBitmap = true;
addChild(ss);
}
}
}

Create slideshow.as | (sv:4:50)

package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
//custom classes
import FP9.flash.com.ps.php.as3.*;
import MyLoader;

private function timerComplete(e:TimerEvent):void{
if((pics_length - 1) == showingChild){
fadeIn(0);
}else{
fadeIn(showingChild + 1);
}
}
}
}

Create MyLoader.as | (sv:12:55)

package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

}


This tutorial will go over how to JOIN tables using the Flash Php MySQL extension.

This tutorial explains the Join process so you can really grasp the power of MySQL through Flash. Helping you provide more required information with less queries and faster load times as a result.

The Flash PHP MySQL extension is required to preform the queries shown in this tutorial.

• Copy the code below:

<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=GET YOUR GOOGLE API KEY”>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function initialize() {
var mapCheck = document.getElementById(“map_canvas”);
if(mapCheck){
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById(“map_canvas”));
var address = map_canvas.getAttribute(“address”);
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder;
map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(point){
if(point){
map.clearOverlays();
map.setCenter(point, 15, G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
}
});
}}
}
</script>paste the code into the head of wp-content/theme/YOUR THEME/header.php

• Copy and paste the code below in to any post you want a map on:

<div id=”map_canvas” style=”width:740px; height:300px;” address=”Boulder, CO”>You can change the size of the map and the location.
The address can go from exact to just the state or country.

You can add attributes in the div tag to do any thing you want just be sure to add the functionality to the java script.

In this Video Tutorial Peak Studios teaches you how to use the SELECT statement with the ActionScript 3 Flash PHP MySQL.

Use the code below to create a table in your MySQL Database:

CREATE TABLE `hello_world` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`message` varchar(30) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

INSERT INTO `hello_world` (`id`, `message`) VALUES
(1, 'Hello World One'),
(2, 'Hello World Two');


No other code is provided for this tutorial since the Flash PHP MySQL extension creates it for you.

In this part of the tutorial Guest Book tutorial learn how to use the select and insert functions (to query the MySQL database) from the PHP MySQL Panel with

• Flash text area Component
• 2 text input components
• button component

In under 12 minutes this tutorial will show how to make the front end (user and customer interface) of a Flash Guest Book using the Flash PHP MySQL extension.

• Create the Guest Book table in your MySQL database
  
CREATE TABLE `gb` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(50) default NULL,
`message` varchar(250) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=0 ;

In this tutorial learn how to create a Dynamic Data Grid using Flash PHP MySQL.

You can watch the video (recommended) or simply grab the code from below. The Flash PHP MySQL extension is required for this tutorial.

This tutorial uses the Hello World database. Veiw the Hello World tutorial before you start this one or download HelloWorld.zip and extract the MySQL script to set up your DB.

• Import The Flash PHP MySQL publish settings for AS3.
• Set access to “Network Only”.
• Place the code below into a your Flash file:
  
  import fl.controls.DataGrid;
  import fl.controls.ScrollPolicy;
  import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
  import fl.data.DataProvider;
  import FP9.flash.com.ps.php.as3.*;
  var DB_loc:String = "!--SET THE LOCATION OF YOUR DB FILES HERE--!";
  var i:uint;
  var totalRows:uint = 16;
  var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
  var dg:DataGrid = new DataGrid();
  //----------------------------------------
  //----------BEGIN SELECT dataGrid------------------
  //----------------------------------------
  dataGridselect();
  function dataGridselect(){
  var dataGrid_table = "hello_world";
  //--Array should be the table row names you wish to pull from
  var dataGrid_tableRow:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_tableRow[0] = "id";
  dataGrid_tableRow[1] = "message";
  //where to look
  var dataGrid_where:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_where[0] = "";
  /*values can be = <> > < <= >= BETWEEN LIKE IN You can put TABLE (i.e =TABLE)after any of the operators to use a table field in the what array value*/
  var dataGrid_like:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_like[0] = "";
  //What to look for
  var dataGrid_what:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_what[0] = "";

  //What to look for
  var dataGrid_functionStrings:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_functionStrings[0] = "";

  //orderBy and ASC arrays must have the same amount of items in the array.
  //What to look for
  var dataGrid_orderBy:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_orderBy[0] = "";

  //What to look for
  var dataGrid_ASC:Array = new Array();
  dataGrid_ASC[0] = "";
  var dataGrid_select:SelectDB = new SelectDB(dataGrid_table, dataGrid_tableRow, dataGrid_where, dataGrid_like, dataGrid_what, dataGrid_orderBy, dataGrid_ASC, dataGrid_returnFunction, dataGrid_functionStrings, DB_loc);
  }

  function dataGrid_returnFunction(vars:URLVariables, selectRows:Array, functionStrings:Array){
var row:Object;
dg.columns=selectRows;
for(var i:Number = 0; i row=new Object();
for(var ii:Number = 0; ii
var sr:Object = selectRows[ii];
row[sr]=vars[selectRows[ii]+i];
}
dp.addItem(row);
}
}
dg.dataProvider = dp;
dg.resizableColumns = true;
dg.move(10, 10);
dg.setSize(200, 300);
addChild(dg);
stop();
