Hello, I've written some scripts here to get you up and running quickly. Step 1: You must have a webserver running, mysql installed and running, and php installed and configured on the computer that you intend to run these scripts. I've done much of the setup work for you here with php, study the scripts to see how they work. I've tried to comment them as much as possible, however, I'm assuming that you have enough knowledge to install and set up mysql and php. Step 2: open the "db_info.php" script and add your account information on line 1 and line 2 for mysql. Step 3: copy the php scripts 1. db_info.php 2. databasecreate.php 3. db_inserts.php 4. target.php 5. dropdown.swf 6. dropdown.html into the same directory on your webserver. Note: php and mysql must be installed prior to running these scripts Step 4: open your web browser and locate the files you just copied to the web directory. on local machines the url will look something like this: http://127.0.0.1/ On my computer the directory I use is http://127.0.0.1/Development/ Step 5: once you have located the files in your web browser, double click on "databasecreate.php" then click on "db_inserts.php" databasecreate.php will create the database on the MySQL server and then create the correct table. The db_inserts.php will insert data into the table for you to use. Step 6: double click on the dropdown.html to see the pulldown menu. If you have questions that relate to the php or the swf, I will be happy to help. info@media-core.com
