Hey everyone, I just made a video tutorial with code examples available at http://blip.tv/file/1399795 on how to get flash image data into Drupal.

Part two will demonstrate how to save a node with the image data associated with it. Feedback is of course welcomed as there may be some things people may have better ideas about how to approach.

Thanks so much for doing this! A screencast, explanation, and sample files is the perfect trifecta for learning! Can't wait for part 2 :)

Thanks

ur timing is priceless

I just got an assignment where I have to have the input done in flash, and I've only used AMFPHP for output, never input, so I didn't rly knew if it was easy

u certainly have given me hope that this will be a piece of cake, even though I think I'm going to have to have flash make several nodes at once (linked to each other by taxonomy or w/e)

so yeah, I can't wait to see the next video

Thankyou

Elliottt, thanks for the effort you put into doing this.

This sort of stuff is like gold dust for me.

I am very much looking forward to the follow up videos.

Not a problem, I'm glad it

Not a problem, I'm glad it is useful for everyone, I've spent a lot of time myself banging my head against my desk :)

I'll have time this weekend to put together the next video, which will include how to save cck data too.

I'm also working on a way to load forms from webform module and save the data as webform submissions, but that is proving much more difficult then loading and saving cck data :P

atm, I'm trying to figure

atm, I'm trying to figure out how I can input nodes from flash using a variable number of fields

but I love challanges ;)

send you an email with the stream.

file is not stored in drupal?

thanks to bennos i managed to see the video tutorial, which is indeed extremely accurate.
what elliot does anyway is just saving the image file to the server, not really passing it to drupal, am i wrong?

I then went into further research , and also given the fact that elliot's script is not for 6.x, i wrote another example based on this patch, which after saving the image file, also stores it into DB and creates a node with it.
