How to submit tutorials

[freddycodes]

How do we submit tutorials to the site, do you even accept them from the public? I thought it might be nice to show how to bring an ASP.NET recordset into a flash mx and convert it to a native flash mx recordset object.

Is it possible to submit such a thing? If so, where do I submit it?

[Jesse]

Yes yes, we certainly do accept tutorials. Please email your submission to support@actionscript.org

[freddycodes]

I know you guys probably get tons of email at support@actionscripts.org. However I submitted a tutorial on 2/3 about PHP, wddx and Flash MX to that email address, and have not heard a word on whether you received and if so if it was in the correct format. I feel its a good one and I have been wanting to answer a few forums posts with the same info but would rather link to a tutorial page as to not repeat myself too much, I am wondering if you got it and if it will be listed on the tutorials page. Thanks, if this is better suited for PM please remove it and let me know.

[Jesse]

I believe we did receive it. Strok is currently formatting it and will upload it ASAP. We generally just email you back once it's online to say thanks :)

Hey sorry to seem like I was nagging, but there have been several topics lately inthe forums that I thought could benefit. I was just getting ansy I guess, thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this place:)

[Jesse]

No no not at all, but between delaying your tutorial and being fired for not getting this project specification out by tomorrow, guess which one I picked :)

[freddycodes]

Oh you gave in to some crappy spec over my tutorial, how could you? :confused: Well if its consolation, I blew off work to write it, hope my boss doesn't see this post.;)

[Jesse]

Haha and I just got finished reading some article on how employesr are so concerned about their employees using the internet for non-work related tasks at work :)

[freddycodes]

Not work-related? You do support education advancement, sir? I am merely enhancing my skills whereby increasing my net worth to your company.

Would be my repsonse. :rolleyes:

Hey Freddy

I'm having a problem with that tute. If you go here you will see what I mean - http://www.tableau.com.au/testdb/peopleServer.html

The function it is referring to in the error is

function handleWDDX($arg) {
$foo = wddx_deserialize($arg);
$foo['funcName']($foo['parameters']);
}

I changed the url in flash to

var myURL = "http://www.tableau.com.au/testdb/flashServer.php";

but other than that I just upped the files as they were

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

[freddycodes]

You see in the output box where it says


<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: wddx_deserialize() in <b>/home/www/tableau/testdb/flashServer.php</b> on line <b>23</b><br />



It means your PHP is not compiled with wddx support? Are you on shared hosting? If so talk to your host about getting it.

[Billy T]

hmmm emailed my host - no reply as yet...

Thanks

[freddycodes]

If you don't mind me asking who is your host? I would be interested to hear what they say, I have a feeling they may have no idea how to even do it.

[Billy T]

hehe I wouldn't be surprised

cheap and nasty - www.only2dollars.com

actually nasty is a bit harsh...but you get what you pay for...

[freddycodes]

Put it this way, I had to rebuild PHP on my server because the one that came with the initial install on my dedicated box didn't have half of what I needed.

[Billy T]

I see...I wouldn't have a clue where to even start :)
