ABSTRACT

We are now approaching the development of the core unit of the real estate Web site, which is the database, which stores information about all of the homes for sale. In the first section of this chapter a feature of AS2 class that we have not yet discussed will be introduced: the interface. The concept is the same for AS3 class files and will not be discussed further in that section. Next we will write the class files for the basic database, which displays data. We will then discuss the structure of the interface. In Part 2 (Chapter 14) we will add features such as saving data using the shared object, dividing the displays into groups with Next and Previous buttons, and displaying HTML pages for more information. We have already covered some of these applications in previous chapters, but now we will put it all together into one application. So feel like a project manager, and imagine that you have to oversee the whole project.
