Polls System

[Flep]

Hello all !

FlepStudio has created a new Free Flash CS3 utility.

Thank you to manheman ( FlepStudio forum user ) for PHP side script.

We created a Flash CS3 polls system using PHP and XML.

The SWF allows the user to submit its vote and the XML will collect the data.

This utility shows vote results using a diagram and displays the percentage for each answer.

Just change the question of the poll into XML file, upload the XML and PHP files, change permissions to 777 and it's done !

You can custom the graphics through the FLA.

It also checks if user tries to vote twice because this polls system implements the SharedObject class of Actionscript 3.0 .

Let us see the polls system...

Hi,
you can't manage it.
I mean, let's say we get about 200 votes per answer.
You need 1200 width ...

good point. my client really wants the poll to have the answeres horisontal

is there a way to adjust the restult bar to shorten it? the poll wont be up for ever, they will be changing.

thanks for the quick reply

Hello,
I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question, i am very much a beginner.
Should I be pasting the php file somewhere in particular, or is it ok in the same folder as the flash and xml files?
I am testing it on my local machine and when i vote the message to say the vote is being saved is staying on continuously, suggesting that the php file is not being written to properly.
I am trying to figure out if it is a permissions issue or something else.
Thanks.

SADIE ...........the problem is php cannot be tested on a local machine.....it has to be tested on a server that has php installed (most do) ......there is another solution ...you can set up a local test server for php.....just do a google search and theres a lot written on it.......for example...... Setting up a local test server - test web server - local web server - local server

zoom........why is there three answers only? you can have as many as you like ...jsut add the to the xml...im gonna look into modyfilying the poll and will get back to you in a bit as it is a good option..........

Thanks Maldor, i will look into that, once done would the php file have to go in the cgi-bin or php folder, or should it be ok where it is?
Thanks

[Maldor]

its ok where it is....just in the same folder as the swf file..........

Hello again,
I have successfully installed php on my local machine, and i have my poll.php in the same file as poll.xml and the swf file, and i still cant get it to work. When i vote it just says saving response, no errors, it seems that the php and xml files are not communicating with each other correctly. Is there any code I should change. Also how can i remove the cookie so i can vote continuously. Sorry if i appear stupid.
Thanks.
