Thanks again Lee, a great little tutorial. I do like the fact that you go over the code again once you have finished, it does help me understand the process better.
Thankx Lee…. Its the easy way to display dynamic text
I like the way you make hard job easy for us.
i have a request for you , can you add a tutorial to develop our own custom components
Awsome tutorial Lee,
I do alot of work with php and back end databases and I have been looking for a simply way to dispaly MySQL data is flash.
It will get much use…..
Great tutorial Lee,
Do you have any thoughts on accessing mySQL database directly using AMF and Flash Remoting?
Keep up the great work!
Where can i download the fla or swf of this tutorials!? sorry im just new here TY. ^_^
Brilliant! Thanks a lot for the help. Very easy to follow. I’m new to Flash, but it doesn’t seem like I’ll have any problems figuring it out.
Thanks again!
Why cant I find it??
Thanks for the tutorial it actually works, most other sql/flash tutorials leave integral parts out. You did a hell of a job covering all the details! Great job!!
Hi!
What do you use for your screen-video capturing? I’ve been working on a little app which can capture a video as an flv and upload it to the web.
What do you think it’d need in it to be successful/how do you think I could find people who would want to use it?
I put together a little survey to help nail down the feature set. If you’ve got a minute and would be willing to take it, it’s at — http://yoimpro.com/index.php?sid=1&newtest=Y
Hi Lee,
I went to your download site and downloaded the php_mysql_flash.flv but when i run it the flash player just shows a blank screen.
Any ideas???
Cheers
Pete
I have not quite managed to get the first part working with the PHP document in my browser. I am not sure what I am doing wrong so perhaps
you mite be able to mail me the php your original php document?
Regards Steve
I have a similar issue as steve with the left hand nav displaying, the bottom nav ‘animated’ but blank on the main panel of your presentation. has something been recently changed? I am using IE6 with latest flash player.

Thanks Lee, you are a big saver! Wanted to add your RSS but it is not workingm you may want to look into it. Cheers!
1st off, Great Job…
Do you have a tutorial on submitting data from Flash to a Database, or can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks Again, Great stuff
Hey Lee,
This works great, sure gives me the ability to create the CMS I always wanted with flash. But I am stuck in one spot of your tutorial, well more so post your tutorial.
The problem I am getting is this, I want to add a child to the but not sure what approach I need to take.
Heres my echo statements
echo “\n”;
echo “\n”;
echo “\n”;
while($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo “” . $line["title"] . “\n”;
}
echo “\n”;
echo “\n”;
Its within the echo “” tag that I want to add in a child for the body. Not sure how to go about this.
Other than that, thank you so much this tutorial helped a lot.
I,ve watched the tutorial, it’s great thanks
I have a question ;
Can i make a flash chart(pie chart or line chart)from a database?
I want to visualize a statistical data on flash
I see that this tutorial was posted nearly 3 years ago and it is still the best example that I have found so far. This will be very useful in making something even more advanced.
I love your tutorials you do an excellent job explaining all of the steps ! I wanted to share these tutorials with you that expand upon where you left off and take all the busy work out of using AS2 or AS3 to create databases with PHP flash and MySQL. http://peakstudios.com/2008/03/14/tutorial-videos-actionscript-3-flash-php-mysql-pannel-extension/
Sir, Thanks a lot for this tutorial it really help me and it is easy to adopt, hoping for more knowledge sharing from you.
maybe you can also provide a much wider flash php and mysql with grid views
we do really appriciate this
Thanks

nice one i love this tutorial thanks….
Your whole website is unbelieveable.
Thanks a ton.
it doesn’t work with flash8. i only get a blank list when i published the html file… i’m using xammp form my localhost…
Well, I have been trying to get this tutorial to work for me on a Mac. And there was a huge issue with getting around the apache and php that was installed. I learned I had to download MAMP and now I have my php and sql talking. But I have Flash CS4 and it doesn’t want to play. I get the the part where I’ve coded my action script in and when I go to test it I get an access permissions error. Boo! There seem to be no tutorials out there on how to create db driven apps with the new Flash CS4. If anybody knows of a tutorial out there to help. I would be much obliged. Otherwise, I guess I’ll have to write the first tutorial for it, when I eventually solve the riddle. Cuz I won’t stop till I do.
Cheers, M
