Hello again,
I've spent a bit of time looking through the JavaScript documentation, PHP
documentation, and the API documentation but haven't been able to get any
kind of return data from the API. I started by trying to use the example
Roan provided in JavaScript and learned a bit more about function usage in
JavaScript, but I'm still getting nothing back from wiktionary. Could
someone provide me with a simple, working example that actually returns a
value?
I've tried a number of different things, including the get_file_contents in
PHP (which did echo a barebone representation of the page I loaded), but
I've reverted back to the example Roan provided. Again, I'm trying to get
the definition for a dynamically submitted word. Any parse-able format with
the definition would work fine.
Here's the example I've been working with. The function works in either
script block and I have moved it around trying to get the callback to
actually DO something. So far, nothing happens.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="
http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?format=json&callback=myFunc&acti…
">
function myFunc(str){
document.write(str);
document.write("Hrm");
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
//myFunc("hello");
</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks again,
Aaron.

Alternatively, I was wondering if it might be
possible to set my server
up
as a sort of proxy to go between Wiktionary and
the Flash program. If I
can
use PHP, JavaScript, or HTML to query the WMF
database and retrieve the
desired definition, then I should be able to forward that information on
to
the game that requested it using my own
cross-domain-policy.
This is probably the best solution.
