Data Issue

Hi, I'm doing a CD project. I have a lot of data such as addresses over 3000 of them. I'm using Flash MX and hoping to pull up the data as needed. ANyone has any idea to do this?
Thanks

How and where is your data stored relevant to the shockwave file?

Hi

I keep the data on the same CD as the FLA file. I've tried using a XML connector to bring up the data but it froze on me, because of the size of data.
I don't mind using Director. Do you have any sample Tann?

Hi, I'm kinda new to xml and flash. I read quite alot on the subject recently though. Some people say that flash pauses until all the xml data has been read. This is probably what your seeing as a freeze when loading. Flash itself will slow down when you load a massive amount of data into it. Even if the xml reading goes smoothly flash may still chugg. Is there no way you can seperate the xml out a bit so flash only has to deal with smaller chunks? You could go back to using text files and loadVars. At least that way flash shouldnt pause in the same way and you can monitor its progress whilst loading. You can monitor the xml loading as well but I dont know how that would work since flash is paused whilst loading the data. If you have several types of data in the xml file, i.e. name, address, contacts etc then you could try moving each into its own file.

Hi, did some more reading on your specific problem. It seems I was kinda right. Heres someone else with the same problem. The link to the solution is here
