Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / April 2006flash graphs
Hello... This might be simple to some fo you out there... I looked around and everything seems complicated. I want a simple graph that displays totals from a mysql db using php. The project: 6 movies...the movies have 3 questions (every question is answered with a 1 if the user selected that answer, the remaining answers will be 0). In short movieA answers to question number 2 could be 21 for example - that means the PHP script added all the ones for that were answered 1 for that question. ie: movie: A question: 2 answer1:0 answer2:1 answer3:0 answer4:0 My objective is to send this total back to flash and make a rectangular verctor image (or simly a rectangle) grow based on the total received. Each movie will have 3 bars referring to the 3 questions the answered - the bars grow based on all the 1's gathered by the PHP script. Hope this is not too confusing... greatly appreciate any help. -davicho Sounds doable. What part of it do you need help? Data communications? Drawing a rectangle and having it change in size? Server side scripting?  SignatureLon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way! Hello... This might be simple to some fo you out there...

Hope this is not too confusing... greatly appreciate any help. -davicho Sry about that... I have the scripting done - I can figure how to send the info (it's really just a number, a total that is being sent from every question - remember 3 per movie)... I need help once that info is sent... more precisely... who or what (object in flash, if any) receives it and how to make that value make my bar (rectangle) grow accordingly... many thx.... -davicho You can use LoadVars or XML. LoadVars for URL encoded data -- var1=value&var2=value&var3=value XML for well XML. Both have a sendAndLoad method. LoadVars http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002336.html XML http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html The examples there server as great templates. If you need more help on those, this forum or the Flash Actionscript forum are good places. SignatureLon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way! Sry about that...

I am familar with the LoadVars object... but my questions now is how do I translate that value received in Flash into a rectangle that grows based on that value? thx... A rectangle graph should be doable without any serious math. 1. You can use the MovieClip graphics methods to draw. See: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/precision_drawing.html 2. You can resize or rescale a MovieClip that contains a rectangle. I recommend the Adobe/Macromedia Flash Actionscript forum for a new post "How to draw basic rectangle graphs" or something like that. You should find more folks there who may have tackled the problem. SignatureLon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way! THx for your help...
