  1. Producing a high-impact web experience by integrate Macromedia Flash and ASP By Katie Tuttle CS 330: Internet Architecture and Programming Project

  2. Producing high-impact web experience • Macromedia Flash allows fast graphics and animations • ASP runs on the web server which manipulate server objects • Working with Third-party, Server-side Applications • Flash can be integrated with ASP, server-side application • In doing so data can be display dynamically • Exciting web sites increases user activity to that site

  3. Macromedia Flash 5 • Uses graphics, animation, sound and interactivity to display practical information • Flash movies can now communicate directly with server-side scripts and programs • Flash can create presentations or attractive advertisements • Flash can broadcast business in a new and more exciting way then is possible with conventional marketing

  4. Applications Services Provider (ASP) • Enables Web developers to produce dynamic content within the convenience of a markup environment. • Combine the power of server-side processing with the ease of HTML-syntax • ASP Page requested by the web server that supports ASP, it is first interpreted by Internet Sever Application Programming Interface filter • Then the interpreted output is sent back to the requesting client.

  5. Working with Third-party, Server-side Applications • Combining Flash and ASP • Data transfer to the database • Data is display attractively • Manipulation of data interaction with Flash • How Flash and ASP interaction (to the right)

  6. Create a Flash and ASP application • In creating a Flash and ASP application • Flash interface that calls an ASP page, retrieve data from the database • Flash interface collects and sends data from the user to the database through the ASP page • ASP is a mediator between the database and outputs in the format with or without changing the data • Takes data sent from the Flash interface and stores it in the database

  7. Sending data from Flash and storing it in the database • Preparing the Flash interface • Getting the form sending data to the database to work • Carrying out the insert operation through ASP

  8. Involves the following • Flash sends the data from the ‘Input Form’ to the ASP file • ASP sends the data to be stored to the database • ASP sends the results of its operation to the Flash interface • Flash sets a counter while the ASP inserts the data and shows success or failure of the operation

  9. Integrating Flash and ASP • Create a Database in Microsoft Access • Create Flash form interface • Create an Empty ASP File and HTML file to close the guestbook window • Input form (to the right)

  10. How it all works

  11. Preparing the Flash Interface • Name the text field boxes • Write action-scripts for the buttons • Make a counter to give the interface time to check if the data has been inserted • Make frames to show success or failure of the operation

  12. Successful and Failed Frame

  13. ASP Getting Data and Flash Displays Data • Getting Data and sending it to Flash • ASP page interacts with the Database and gets the required data • ASP sends the retrieved data to Flash • Flash displays the data got from the ASP file • Flash displays the first record • Navigating through the records

  14. Flash Preloader • Preloader usually made to attractive the user to keep them occupied while the application is loading • This is the last frame to the Flash and ASP application

  15. Flash and ASP GuestBook • The last step is export to the web • In a web site: • <a href="javascript: {var xwin=window.open ('/aurora.wells.edu/~ktuttle/GuestBook/Guestbook.asp','FlashGuestBook','width=240,height=280, resize=no')}">Guest Book</a>

  16. Significance of Flash and ASP • ASP is being used in businesses to control and update their database • Businesses are finding that with Flash on their web sites that they can attract more viewer • Integration of ASP and Flash can be used to develop product or service demonstrations • Flash can broadcast business in a new and more exciting way then is possible with conventional marketing

  17. Relates to the Material in the Course • ASP relates to the server for it interacts with the server • Flash interacts with ASP and the client • The coding in ASP is like HTML and has the same effect as CGI programs • Integrating Flash and ASP shows how the understanding Internet Architecture and Programming is important
