V12 database engine

[rennyd webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

To whom it may concern

I am developing a multimedia application using macromedia director. My application will have links that link from one data to another data. Here is an example of the data that I would like to show:

data 1:
G1:1 The first portion of the data.
G1:2 The second portion of the data.
data 2:
first - means something else.
the - means another thing.

In my application, the data 1 will be shown on the screen as a sentence, then each word inside the sentence will be linked to another data. When I move my mouse over to the word of the sentence (i.e. "first), there will be a pop-up(or in other frame) to show data 2. This has to be in real-time environment.

Example:
"G1:1 The first portion of the data" ----> mouse over the word "first" ------> show "means something else"

The data file will be very big and would like to use database to store and retrieve the data. I came across this V12 database engine. I would like to know does V12 database engine manage to handle the task that I've mentioned above under real-time environment?

Thanks.

You have mostly described the user interface to the database, seems that
the database part could be done with Lingo lists or v12, if the data
could all fit in ram at once you might consider using lingo property
lists to keep things simple.

Hello Renny,

Just as JB mentioned, the issues you are describing are indeed Interface
issues - and thus are Director related, and not V12-DBE related.

Please feel free to E-mail our support staff with any of your V12-DBE
questions [it's a free service] at: mailto:Support@IntegrationNewMedia.com

Also, our website has many free mini-samplers, some of which might well
suit your projects needs!! All of them are free for you to use [and as they
say:
abuse ;)] You can find most of them here:

Good luck with your project!
-Warren.
