My flash project needed more programming in it. I was advised that I should try and create a database and functionality that allows the user to upload an image, save it to database and display on the timeline. After spending three full days of researching different methods of how to do this. I have taken on board the fact that I now have serious time restrictions and that in the space of time that I have left it is not plausible to learn how to do this. As well as the face that every resource that I have found on the matter is writing the code in ActionScript 2, while the code is mine is all ActionScript 3. This would mean that I would have to revise my entire project to suit this one function.
After going through one tutorial in particular on YouTube, and trying to implement the code into my project, it did not work. The disappointing part of all of this is that the research that I had done is not worth anything, as I had to delete the code that I had in order for the other aspects of my project to work. All I can do is mention what I have found from YouTube, Stack Overflow and a few more sites around the net, which is
Often images are uploaded using binary arrays.
When uploading an image the name of that file will be shown in a dynamic text field
AJAX came up in a post I read about the matter recently, I did not read into the functionality behind it.
All other information I have at this time is masked by utter confusion with regards to the matter.
I have decided to give up the whole database idea as it is wasting time and as you can probably tell by the tone of this post, it has annoyed me beyond belief.
It's time to think of more programming opportunities that can be taken. Although I'm a bit lost with it all. PHP, the server side language is out as I just stated, JavaScript functionality can be implemented with ActionSctipt and ActionScript will not suffice for the programming work. The question is what can be done. I can see myself going in on Monday with relatively no work to show for my time wasted on database research. While this post is more of a rant, it has stated what I needed to say.
