README for the server side of the Macromedia Petstore implementation
1. Sources.
The original Macromedia client can be downloaded from
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/blueprint/
There are a few steps to get it working - you need to compile each movie separately, for example.
To make thing easier, a fully precompiled client side is provided at the AMF::Perl web site:
http://www.simonf.com/flap/examples/petmarket/index.html
(Unlike other examples, the client is NOT included into the AMF::Perl distribution due to its size.)
2. Usage.
You need to load the data in petmarket.sql into a database and configure
the database server, name username and password in dbConn.pm.
You HAVE to set your server URL in initFunction/mainInit.as and then recompile main.fla in order to point your
client to your server.
3. Notes about implementation.
You HAVE to have these files in the directory petmarket/api relative to your Perl gateway script,
because this is what the Flash client assumes.
