About 20 hours too late. Read the other responses, especially after, so long, before replying. This advise was already given and your response added nothing to the thread, only to your ego.

Hey,
We are making a game like travian (www.travian.com) in php and SQL. Now we are facing a serious problem. We have the following example: Player A attacks player B, and this attack takes 1 hour. In the meantime player A and B are logged out. But the attack must be performed, since their teammates would like to know the status of the attack too. Now how can we execute a certain code at a specific time, NOT using players, so on the server? We're using a SQL database, and the coding is done in Php. I heard something about Stored Procedures...?
Thanks in advance,
Zaegra
Motivation is the key to software development.

I have one Idea
1. When ever a player attacks, insert the value in the database with the Execution timestamp.
2. Create a procedure to perform the tasks by fetching the rows from attack table(Which are pending, can be marked with status field)
3. Schedule the procedure to run after a particular interval of time.
I think it will solve your problem

I'm going through a Flash tutorial and comparing it against a Flash program we have received from a 3rd party. Within the 3rd party package there are separate files that contain code. The .fla file only appears to contain movie clips, jpegs, and etc. In the tutorial file it appears the code is layered in the .fla file.
My question is do flash developers alter the .fla files to hide code from end users, or is the .fla file just structured differently? I'm leaning towards an altered .fla file and only by accessing the .as files directly through the code folder, seeing I cannot find any code by going through the .fla file. Thanks for any help in advance.

It's just structured differently.
What if you had a 10,000 lines of code that converted text into speech, and you wanted to implement that cool functionality into a number of projects? Are you (a) going to copy/paste/fix the code into each new project, or are yopu going to (b) trty to put it into a library that you can re-use?
Separating the code from the content allows for (a) cleaner/clearer coding practices & (b) ease of reuse.

The library idea makes complete sense. It's used in other languages. Perhaps I'm not sure how to navigate thru the flash editor yet, but the library seems to only be filled with jpegs, movie clips, and etc. Is there a special section I should be looking in that I am just passing over?

Let me know what exactly you want to do?
I think you need onload rather than onchange or what you want.
There is no onchange event for Body tag according to W3C Standards.

What you expect this piece of code to do? Please refrain your question.

I think this is not good. Dont use Content-Type to determine the type of the response. I think it is better if you explicitely define a key for content type the client wants.
http:
See I used type key to get JSON response from the client, so the client which uses it have proper knowledge about what type of response it expects.
ArunkGeorge wrote: Should I use xml serialized date or Json serialzied date?
Yes, if you are creating JSON response, Use JSON serialized date, otherwise XML. (I guess it automatically does that way)
ArunkGeorge wrote: Question 2: Most of the deserialization APIs exposed (at least the ones I have seen) deserialize a stream, and not a single datetime value. Do I have to always wrap the datetime into a stream in order to get that deserialized?
Yes I think you are right, But you can create your own Serializer any time and use it.
ArunkGeorge wrote: Is there any easy way to get the query string parameter key-value pairs directly deserialized into a desired object?
Yes, I think there is. You might use Request.QueryString.AllKeys
ArunkGeorge wrote: Question XmlSerializer accepts only a child of ICollection and so I am not able to pass a HashTable etc.
Yes... HashTables are different than normal, you can pass hashtable.Value which is ICollection.
Hope you got it.

If someone wants to help, you shouldn't be replying like this. This way no one will be going to reply you.
ArunkGeorge wrote: Leave the job to someone who understands the question.
This might be your problem. You should make others understand what you wanted to tell us. Try to focus the terms on what exactly you want.
We all here doing voluntary help to you. We have lots of other work to do. At least you are not paying us for this.
Anyways...
Wish you luck with this.

Then why ask the question here?
ArunkGeorge wrote: Leave the job to someone who understands the question.
This is extremely rude, you joined this forum just a day ago and happily insult someone who has contributed greatly to the success of the site and its forums (check out his profile).
You seem to have a seriously poor attitude; may I suggest you take it elsewhere and leave this forum to those who appreciate someone trying to help them, and also know how to behave.

If you don't understand the difference between a hack and an accepted solution, I have nothing more to say.
Form my question, (I hope) it was clear that I had a way of doing things. I was looking for 'better' or 'accepted' ways.
If you feel his reply added any value to me, you are mistaken. It was just rephrasing whatever statements I put in my question, that too with a suggestion to pass the content type as an extra parameter.
There is a famous article about things to do before you ask/answer questions in a forum. I think its by Ayende. Might be good to look for that.

With an attitude like that you are unlikely to win many friends on this forum.
Your original post did say:
ArunkGeorge wrote: Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
And then when someone posted an idea, you didn't appreciate it. Perhaps you should have said:
Only suggestions and ideas that I agree with will be appreciated.

Forgive me for not interpreting that suggestion to pass content type as an extra parameter as an 'idea'. My mistake. Apologies.

I have no problem. I simply pointed out something that should have been self-evident to a perceptive fellow like you.
By the way, you can have the last word on this sub thread, I shan't read it.
