ruby & flash
in [Ruby]

From: Ce Vau on 13 Jul 2010 06:35 Hello there. we do have a problem with a ruby site we are forced to maintain but have absolutely no experience nor knowledge about the framework and the service structures. I'd really appreciate some patience here, because the infos I'm going to publish are going to be incomplete, nevertheless some advise would be much appreciated! We are talking about one website on a linux (CentOS 5) server administered with plesk 8. There's ruby 1.8.5-5.el5_2.6 installed. Now, the whole frontend is flash with hundreds of as-classes dealing with the variables and the db-connections - i guess. The task is quite a simple one: we need to extend one table in the db (mysql) and the corresponding select field in the backend - done that value is to be saved via the backend in the db - done. the as-files are to be extended accordingly to define the very new values passed from the db - done. Problem: The flash-frontend doesn't output the new strings - a blank output is shown. Like we never updated the actionscript-files. Even after a restart of the apache service! My guess is, that files are being cached or mirrored in a way. Anyone any idea what to do, where to start? Thank you! Andro -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How is the AS code talking to the database? If it's just getting some url, then what happens if you use curl or wget on that url?

Now secondly: I'm not sure how the AS is getting the db-values, but it happens - I can tell, because changing the value in the database produces the empty output on the site. That can only mean, that the value is passed in the output rendering process, but the string defined to the value that is supposed to show never makes it to the swf file in the frontend. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The swf is compiled from the .as (plus other things). > Now secondly: I'm not sure how the AS is getting the db-values, but it > happens - I can tell, because changing the value in the database > produces the empty output on the site.

If you know so little about how your program works, why do you assume there is a ruby-related issue?

I know that this is a ruby forum, but also wasn't saying that it's a ruby problem. I'm more used to php asp .net programming and do know that in order to see effects of adjusted classes or scripts (i.g. dlls) on an iis for example I need to restart/work with services. That's why I tried to find help here - hoping to find people who can point me in the right direction ruby-wise. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
