Hi all !
As already announced, I created a new section of FlepStudio about Adobe Flex Builder.
I still firmly believe that Flex is only useful for applications such as back-end CMS or for applications that need to manage large data moles.
For everything else (always in my humble opinion) Flash and PHP are still unbeatable!
With this article I want to inaugurate the new section by publishing an example of how Flex can manage data using PHP and mySQL then displays these data via Flash.
What I have done:
- Created a table in the database that contains a list of customers (name, first name, address, Telephone and email)
- Created a Flex form that allows to add a customer to the database table by calling a PHP script
- 2 PHP scripts created, one enters a new customer into database and other retrieves data of all customers (to be called by Flash)
- Created with Flash an SWF that retrieves the customer list from the database by calling a PHP and displays data through a simple component DataGrid
Essentially Flex manages the back-end and Flash displays the data.
This is because I believe that Flash certainly has the right characteristics to "recite" the viewer could use as many animations.
Clearly this is a small example of what could be done with Flash associated with Flex … it opens a new world!
Let us see the sample…
