hello. new here. got here through some feline character known as kbreak, back there, but I don't know how he goes by in here.

I need to get some tutorials on connecting php with flash. I'm learning php, btw. I don't even know how to get MySQL running. What I really need help with is image posting. thanks to anyone who can help me.

and please don't laugh at me, I'm more of the reading books writing essays kind of geek.

Mr Est, dude!

I see you get hits on this thread, may I suggest you ask a more precise question?

I doubt anyone's going to sit down and tutor you all about SQL, Flash, and PHP on a forum.

If you have a precise problem or issue, I think you'll get more replies.

btw, "meow"

let me start by saying that meow is not a very manly way to say goodbay. Actually, I'm officially scared of you as of know.

second. I need to learn how to store images in a database, and retrieve them using specific buttons of a flash movie. I mean, when you press the button open the link(loadMovie or geturl) you get to a specific image that someone previously posted(linking it with that specific button). It has to be with php and mysql cause I'm a poor Rat(though Feliz) thtat has no money or time to buy/crack anything else. I also like supporting freeware

php and mysql really aren't that tough as programming goes.  

Most of what you need as far as help can be found either on boards like this or at < php.net >.  The have a great online function reference.  If you need some code examples, I can send you some.

As far as linking off of flash buttons and combining php and flash, I'm not positive what you mean.  You'll have to either elaborate or point us in the direction of something similar so we can get a frame of reference.

MEOW and stuff.

LOL

See that when you get particular, so does everyone else?

Your right, the actionscript is getURL or loadMovie (depending on what your doing.)  Here's a little hint for you: all text in flash is actually HTML formatted.  And to call links with HTML formatted text it's <A href="asfunction:functionName,param1,param2;"> (asfunction stands for ActionScriptFunction.)  You can also load html into flash from an external source (ah, the plot thickens.)  You need to click the HTML formatted button though in the text-box.  Anyways.  On the SQL end you should store images as Blobs.  Learn some relational dBing man.  I would suggest working out how to do all this in PHP, then learning how to translate it into Flash.

I don't know what else to tell you.  Happy to answer any more questions.
