View 11 RepliesIn the code below - fRequest_activate initiates a sendAndLoad - all fine and dandy. Thing is - I want to be able to return a value from this function that indicates whether the server response was satisfactory - and I can't work out how to to it.Because the onLoad function is nested within my fRequest_activate function it has all got a bit messy - and just doesn't work - how do I pass the status from an asynchronous server call - which at the moment is picked up by the onLoad callback, back to my original function? - or should I just approach this problem in a different way? All I want to do is call one function - and know if it has been successful or not in talking to my server.
Code:
function fRequest_activate():String {
var lvEmail_send:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var lvEmail_response:LoadVars = new LoadVars();[code]...............
I have a question about this sendAndLoad() function. Can I send XML (generated in flash) and LoadVars() (or string) together in single turn. Something like this:
myXml.sendAndLoad("somePHP.php",myXml,myLoadVars ...)
It doesn't have to be LoadVars, it can be simply string. My problem is that I need to generate xml and name it from flash. Right now, the program is working with separate sendAndLoad. I have a two PHPs one is generating txt file and saves name to it, and other is opening that file, reads name from it, creates xml with that name, and saves xml from flash.
I am having trouble to get the SendAndLoad() function to work correctly so that when the php script echo's or print("result") is called it gets a string saying pass, or fail... the following is my code for php, and action script. Also I have provided two pictures explaining the what exactly I want.

I am trying to send some variables to an ASP cgi using the sendAndLoad() function in Flash. On Frame 1 of my movie I have the following code:

I want to call a function in main flex app from the custom preloader code in actionscript before it dispatches complete event. Also i want to know how to call back to a function in preloader code from application
View 1 RepliesI have followed the tutorial on gotoandlearn that builds a preloader swf to load an external swf. The problem I am having on the main timeline is that I now cannot access a function in the final external loaded swf. This worked fine when I just loaded the external swf into the main timeline but with the preloader I think I have my loader instances confused and I don't know how to fix it.

Like I said this worked perfectly before I tried cleaning things up with intermediate preloader swf and now its all gone pete tong (again!!) When testing this by reviewing the main timeline it cannot recognise the function killStream
I have a flash project that exports at around 3MB, I am trying to create a preloader for it but it seems to get called after the preloading is complete, there for, making it useless. My stage is empty, nothing on the timeline. The preloading script is called in the main document class. Does anyone know why this isn't working, am I calling my preloader function at the wrong place or are my objects in the library loading first? Here is the code,

i am trying to get my serverside URL link from XML file to be able to POST in flash using sendAndLoad method.

I have a little flash application(cs4) to read xml files and to display the contents. xml files are being read using LoadVars::sendAndLoad() over http. It works fine unless I have an accented characater in the url.

I was googling all the evening trying to find a safe way to send data to MySQL db.
The method that I was using in past projects is like this (AS2 > PHP > MySQL):
[Code]...
This method is unsafe since it sends data to PHP with a GET method, the URL string insertDB.php?Name=Jonh&Age=18&Country=USA&Points=123 So anyone can just type in the address bar [URL]..and insert this record (for example with 999 points) into database.
I am having an issue getting sendandload to work with IE. It is working great with Firefox. I am not using https for anything, so I dont think it would have anything to do with what I have been reading.
View 0 RepliesI have a flash form with input text fields. I am sending the data to a 3rd party server. I can send the information via getURL but I want to send the data without opening a browser window so I am utilizing sendAndLoad. It works great locally but not through a browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I have verified that all the variables and urls are in the correct case, I have tried both Post and Get, I have tried network and local

Just wondering if you can use the sendAndLoad method of the Loadvars object to send "POST" data to a server then recieve the response in an XML object.
[Code]...
Theres a great tutorial for sending and loading XML here: http:[url]...However, its written in AS2 and Id like to have an equivalent in AS3. Ive attached my attempt, but it doesnt work? even though it doesnt throw any errors.
View 2 RepliesI'm attaching an MC to the timeline and within that attached MC is a LoadVars.sendAndLoad command. This works flawlessly when I have a few variables but becomes horribly bogged down when I have to send (and receive) lots of data. It actually freezes my swf until all the data is loaded, then switches windows <minimizes itself in Win XP> after it's all done loading.So I figure I need a way for the original attach movie to finish loading, before I send the PHP commands...
View 1 RepliesI'm using sendAndLoad to send data from a Flash form to a PHP script. The PHP script will search an SQL database and return the results, in XML, to Flash for parsing. The problem is I'm completely stuck on how to extract the sent Flash information with PHP. It's a single tag with attributes.

It uploads a text file to my server (I'm running the .swf file locally) and it works. But I need to load the contents of the file into my program, and when I do the special norwegian characters "� � �" turns into jibberish. So I wrote a script to change the encoding, but when I send the filename to the .php file, I don't get a response.
I am using the sendAndLoad class to perform a script through PHP and load the variables back into the swf. Using Firefox Firebug, I am able to tell that everything is executing correctly, including the PHP script returning the following variables:
&mySubscriberID=36&firstName=Bill
But the variables are not making it back into the swf file. Here is the code for the first frame of my flash file:

I also have dynamic text fields with the above variables assigned to them.

I am using sendAndLoad to query a database that returns over 30,000 records. While the query itself is executed in 0.43 seconds (says phpmyadmin) the sendAndLoad takes some 15 seconds to be executed in AS2. I am wondering if there is a faster alternative to this method.

AS3-PHP.fla :
ActionScript Code:
var var_put:URLVariables=new URLVariables();

First var1 is undefined, second it's strange to see a part of the html page.I read other examples which looks like to mine, I don't know what write more to make it works.

I'm creating a login in Flash that connects to a MySql database through PHP.I'm using sendAndLoad() and the variables are being send to PHP without any prolems, however it does not seem to be returning any info resulting in a "invalid username/pass" message.I'm fairly sure the problem lies in the PHP but not too sure where! Do I have to declare the result_lv variable in the PHP somewhere? How and where?

From what I understand, LoadVars.sendAndLoad( ) is generally used to request variable data form a server. I am trying to download an image (which can be returned to me as a bitmap, jpeg, or png depending on my a variable i pass to the server in the sendAndLoad command.
Is this possible? If so, what object do I specify as the target object in the sndAndLoad( ) command?[code]...
