Photo Gallery Updates
As you may or may not have noticed, there are a lot of blank albums in the Photo Gallery/Art section. After uploading the ones for Munch-Munch I decided I needed to be a better way of doing that. Most of the other online photo galleries out there allow for multiple photos to be uploaded at once. I am currently in the process of recreating the Photo Gallery by combining what I've learned from the Navigation management and what I am slowly learning about Adobe Flex.

Borrowing from the Navigation section is the ability to infinitely nest items into one another. Meaning that there are no longer Categories and then Albums. It's just albums and then more albums in those albums. Might have to rethink my display page in that regard.

From Flex comes the main hiccup. I have a batch uploader that was supplied by a Flex Tutorial. And it was working great, except that none of the photos it uploaded when into a particular album. They all started out in an "unsorted" album. In the process of trying to integrated the album selection into my management I am learning how to pull external database data into a Flex application. So far its been 2 full days and no success. I did, at one point, have it outputing 1 entry of for each entry, but couldn't figure out how to get to show the info instead.

If anyone out there knows how to populate a combobox in a Flex Application from a database at runtime (not compile time) it would be great. Otherwise I'll just be approaching this problem from another angle.
Wish me luck!
