This should work, so what kind of error do you get?

Also you cannot execute two sql statements at once so you need to execute one, wait to get the resaults and execute another one. If you put this tho sql statements right by each other that you probably get an error because of that.

Is there anyway i can create two tables in a single database? I tried adding sqls.text = “CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test_table ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, first_name TEXT, last_name TEXT);”;
// after we have connected sql statment to our sql connection and writen our sql commands we also need to execute our sql statment.
// nothing will change in database until we execute sql statment.
sqls.execute();

but it does not work. it gives me an error

Hi Janez

Very much appreciate your answers.

You are right – I downloaded the free Flex SDK from the Adobe site and am trying to use that for my application.

I will try to use your suggestions and will let you know how it goes.

Once again – thanks for the answers.

Regards

As I understand you are using command prompt to compile the swf file? So you probably went for free flex sdk on Adobe site? If so the problem is, that I am not using the same sdk (I am using sdk for flash builder ). So my SDK probably containes something that yours doesn’t.

Since I never worked with command-lines, I can’t really help you with that but I can recommend some other was to get free software, so you can avoid compiling with command-line.

1) Try this site if you meet the criteria for non-commercial version of Flash builder 4.5
2) You can try some free flash builder replacements like Flash develop: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Main_Page or any other.

Both of this programms shoud help you alot while building your applications for flash.

I hope this helps, if not feel free to ask some more questions.

Regards,
Janez

Hi Janez

I am a beginner at flex.

I am trying to write a simple flex application that gets data via text fields and writes to a sqlite database – very much like what you have shown here.

I have downloaded the flex sdk and am trying to compile your source code from the command line using mxmlc – but have not been successful. Could you provide some guidance as to how
to develop database flex apps using mxmlc command-line?

I also compiled using “amxmlc” compiler and it compiles without warnings or errors into a SWF file but when I open it using IE or Adobe Flash Player it opens up and shows a blank screen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Vinnie

great article! needed nothing more than a copy paste to run this app

B/w i would like your advice on the question that Akella asked. Here are more details on what i wished to do:
I am trying to create an Air App that is supposed to be built for a hotel where they have an intranet in place(4 to 5 systems, with one of them as server).
An ideal scenario would be one where there would be multiple Air client apps trying to access and write onto a single db on the server. From what you have told to Akella, SQLite does not seem a fit.
So would this mean I will have to opt for a regular PHP/MySQL/AMFPHP option?
Can you tell or link me to where I can find how to set up a MySQL for an Intranet?
There is no server software installed as such so that would mean that there will be no addressing like “http:///”. It will just be the regular file:/// i guess.

Any help would highly be appreciated.
Thanks!!

The only way this would be possible is if you have enabled file sharing over your computers, than you should probably be able to load the database from another computer like you would open a file from that computer (for that try searching for file sharing over local network). Otherwise this is not possible, because SQLite is not meant to run as a server like MySQL or others… If you explain some more details of what you want to do I might suggest you a better way to do it.

Thanks very the example, very helpful. I think the .as file needs this at the top:

import flash.data.SQLConnection;
