  Problem

  Let's say you're building a site for a real estate agency. To make it easy for visitors to find the type of property they're looking for, your search form needs to offer a range of options, but not all visitors will want to select every option. To search the database successfully, you need to build a SQL query that includes only those options that have been selected.

  Solution

  Use a PHP loop to build the SQL query based on the fields that contain user input.

  Problem

  I want to display a website in my AIR application, but this website requires a login/password authentification. I don't want my users to see this form.

  Solution

  I'll use the HTML component to display the website. When the page is fully loaded, I use javascript to force values in the authentification fields (login and password), then trigger the click on the submit button.

• Dealing with forcing-download scripts in HTML component in AIR application

  Problem

  I have a AIR application using the HTML component to display a simple HTML page. In this page, I only have a link to a PHP script forcing the download of a PDF file. The problem is AIR doesn't know what to do with pages forcing files download, if you click on it in your AIR application, nothing will happen.

  Solution

  Each time the HTML component renders HTML, I will fetch every links included in the page and bind the "click" event to an Actionscript Method. In this method, I'll open a save window using the File class and download the file targeted by the link.
