--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1_ INSTALLATION :

-----------------

1.1 Manual:

1.1.1 Decompress the downloaded file : flashmyadmin.tar.gz or rar or zip.

1.1.2 Copy the folder "flashmyadmin" into the root or sub-directory of a Web server.

1.1.3 Check that Apache Server, IIS or other is installed and launched. Same for MySql and Php.

1.1.4 In the location field of your browser, launch the index page :

On-line example : http://www.your_server.com/flashmyadmin/

Localhosting example : http://localhost/flashmyadmin/

1.2 Auto installation under Windows® :

1.3 Notes and assistance :

::::::::::::::::::::::::::: IMPORTANT ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1.3.1 About Web-Server

During the installation, you chose an installation's directory for FlashMyAdmin.

This directory -in which you put the file "flashmyadmin"- must be the "root" of a Web server or

one of its sub-directories.

If you use an on-line server, hosted or not, you just have to copy flashmyadmin, by ftp, after

to be sure that Php and MySql turn on this server.

If you install FMA on your machine, it mean that you already installed a Web server such as

Apache plus PHP & MYSQL... And that you have minimum knowledge about this.

IF IT IS NOT THE CASE I RECOMMAND TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL a PACKAGE LIKE EASYPHP :

The installation is very easy, the basics of a Web server are explained and you increase your chances

to run FMA without any problem.

All that you need -Apache, Php, MySql- is there and more : you will find the software

PhpMyAdmin (PMA) and you will be able to compare with FlashMyAdmin (FMA) , even use both. ;)

For that go to : http://www.easyphp.org/?lang=en

Download the "current version".

Install it.

If necessary: Start again the installation of FMA or transfer the file "flashmyadmin" in the appropriate

directory "www".

Then launch EasyPhp which will automatically start all the servers and parsers you need.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1.3.2 Other checkings

Plug-in "FlashPlayer" must be installed. If necessary go to:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

Check the access rights of the folder where is FMA.

2_ LAUNCHING:

-------------

2.1 FMA launching.

Initial page of FMA (index.htm or flashmyadmin.htm) is called as any other Html page, in the location field of

your browser :

<Server's URL>/[<possible pathname>]/flasmyadmin/

alternatives:

<Server's URL>/[<possible pathname>]/flasmyadmin/flashmyadmin.htm

<Server's URL>/[<possible pathname>]/flasmyadmin/index.htm

Example with a localhost on your own machine :

http://127.0.0.1/flashmyadmin/

alternative:

http://localhost/flashmyadmin/index.htm

Example on an on-line server :

www.free-Works.org/my_softwares/flashmyadmin/

alternative:

www.free-works.org/demos/flashmyadmin/flashmyadmin.htm

2.2 IMPORTANT NOTE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FLASHMYADMIN AT LEAST ONCE :

After each new version, FMA need to read from server, only once, the labels of the chosen language.

For that it is necessary to remove the "Local Shared Object" which is the Flash equivalent of the cookies.

If you do not know how to remove the "Local Shared Object" or, where they are on your machine...

... Nothing is lost: -)

You just have to click - at the first frame- on "french">"OK">"previous">"english">"OK" ... Then the new

labels will be displayed correctly.

It is also recommended to empty cache in FireFox or to remove tempories files in IE, in menu>options of your

browser.

3_ MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:

-------------------------------

3.2 Version 0.2.8 :

3.2.1 Add-on :

We put on download, 3 versions : Normal, Lite and Plus.

The software is exactly the same, except that the 'Lite' doesn't have on-line help files and

only the 'Plus' contain audio, video, etc samples in folder : './xmedia/'. This directory with its

tree exist in the 2 other versions but you have to add your own multimedia file, if necessary.

The visual has been cleaned.

Many corrected bugs.

3.2 Version 0.2.0 :

3.2.1 Add-on :

It's possible now to work with no Unicode base. So we have choice between Unicode or local systeme page code.

3.2.2 Corrected bugs :

- The file 'default.lang.flash.ini' was'nt visible on some servers.

- If a base was empty, the following one was not displayed in the list.

- The MySql message 'syntax error' was returned in table creation on some servers.

- The table comment was not displayed, in creation, until refresh was done.

3.3 Version 0.1.2 :

3.3.1 Add-on :

- Datas Streaming (No more limit in the number of rows read into only once.)

- Rehandling of Export (SQL,XML,CSV,AScript)

- The video FLV format has been added in the multimedia module.

- Addition of lifts in frames and multi-rows textfields.

- Indexs definition is now possible directly in table's create mode. -Necessary for auto-increment fields-

3.3.3 Corrected bugs :

- Incorrect video posting in case that it was not in the internet tmp files (cache).

- "Enter" key validated a frame even if the cursor was in a multi-rows textfield.

- Posting problem with scrolling in you looked at a short list after a big one.

- Combo-boxes did not function -in table's create mode- in creation frame of the first field .

- Export didn't take care of indexs,comment and DB type !!

- Various buggies in datas Import due to specials characters.

3.4 Version 0.1.0 : Multi-media module:

Usually we put in database only the names of the multi-media files and not their contents.

With FMA the files Audio MP3, Videos, and JPEG images can "be played" directly in the application.

(Other files like GIF, XML, RTF, HTML, etc are shown in a blank page.)
