Writing the server-side ActionScript function
The example in this section creates a search function that performs a simple search operation against a ColdFusion MX data source. This function accepts two arguments, firstName and lastName, and returns any records found that match these arguments.
To create a server-side ActionScript function:
- Create a server-side ActionScript file that contains the following code:
//search takes firstName lastName arguments
function search(firstName, lastName)
{
searchdata = CF.query({datasource: "bigDSN",
sql:"SELECT * from personnel WHERE fname = firstName AND lname = lastName"{);
if (searchdata)
return searchdata;
else
return null;
}
- Save the file as personneldirectory.asr.
