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
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
Thanks. Remarkable effort. Looking forward to part two.
wow
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 ;)
The second video
Hi there,
Thanks SO much for posting this! Did you get around to posting the second part?
blip.tv blocked in china!!
man, i'd really need this..
but it seems that here in china gov really doesnt like blip.tv :(
i even tried to use proxy's, but i am just getting proxys banned as soon as i try to access blip.tv (this is usually reserved to seriously EVIL sites...)
is there anyway we can see the video somewhere else?
thanks!!
send you an email with the
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.
