Body
I have a .php page, which has a JavaScript function in it, and runs that function, if something is correct in MySQL database. I know the function works. So my php file looks like this: thephp.php: <pre><code><?php $should_i_run_the_function = checkDatabase(); if(!$should_i_run_the_function){die("you can't");} ?> <!doctype html> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> <script> function myFunction() { /* works in browser */ make_an_AJAX_call_and_insert_something_to_database(); } <?php if($should_i_run_the_function) { ?> myFunction(); <?php } ?> </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> </code></pre> This works as it should, when I open the page in browser. But when I call it from ActionScript 3, like this: <pre><code>public function CallURL() { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://localhost/thephp.php'); var variables:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); variables.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT; variables.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, Ajax_completeHandler()); try { variables.load(request); } catch (error:Error) { trace("Unable to load URL: " + error); } } </code></pre> the completeHandler function shows the content of thephp.php correctly, and it does not <code>die("you can't")</code> but it doesn't do the mysql insert in JavaScript. I tried to simplify the code as much as I can, so what could be the problem? Does JavaScript require the "client" to be a browser to run? I also tried <code>ExternalInterface</code> but it does not work for that function, and I would like to know if I can run the JS code by a <code>URLRequest</code>. Thanks !

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
