ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 - Writing To TextFile With Flash / PHP
Feb 9, 2009
I am having trouble sending text from my swf -> PHP -> txt...
My Actionscript Code:
stop();
submit.onRelease = function(){
function writeToTextFile(){
var textSender = new LoadVars();
var send_complete = new LoadVars();
textSender.contentText = inputText.text();
[Code] .....
I cant seem to find out whats wrong... My testserver has all permissions activated for theese files. I have included the source files.
I just load data from textfile into my flash file..so my problem is..how is it in flash I have to code so that I can edit the loaded data from textfile and then when I submit it'll update the data in textfile...of course I'm using php for writing in textfile...Currently I load the data into listbox from my textfile...is it possbile to edit the data from flash...
I am trying to pass a variable from a text file into a variable in flash and trace it to screen. This is what I have done so far, but its not working. I have created a text file in the same folder as my flash. In the text file I have this:
loadedtext=hello flash code: function myFunction(){ trace("Data is loaded"); } var container:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); container.onLoad= myFunction; container.load("demo1.txt"); trace(container.loadedtext);
I'm trying to find a way to write to a text file from as2. I don't want to use any php or asp because my app needs to run without an internet connection. As3 has FileReference.save() and judging by the amount of searching I've done, as2 doesn't have that simple of a solution. Does anyone have a way even if its hacky to write to a txt file from as2?
Am writing a xml from a flash application. The data contains special characters. after the xml is written its not not broken but i cant read the xml anymore. the file attached and tell me what could be the problem.
usually reading in xml, but my client is non-techyi but imagine creating a flash app which creates xml file is a nightmare.... and still open to mistakes from the end user
I am creating e-learning material that will be accessedonline by students. Is there anyway that Flash can write to adatabase to tell us how long the student was logged in for and how long there were on a page?
I have been trying to save data from a flash movie to an XML file and have failed to do so how is it possible? how can i for example save a text from a textbox / textarea to an XML file in an specific XML node by pressing a botton? although i am familiar with how to extract data saved in XML files and desplay it in a flash movie.
Ive been doing some research and I cant seem to find anything on writing to a file. My initial question was writing a array to a seperate file. But now I am looking for resources on how to write any data such as XML or a array to a file. What I want to do is create a game editor. I want to eventually save that data to a file to be opened later.
I'm having a bit of problems with simple XML coding. I'm using a simple flash application to write a XML containing customer data (simple stuff, like phone number, name, email, etc).I understand how to write XML manually, but my issue comes when I want to create a element inside another element. I'm using AS3.So, for example, I have the following xml.
Im trying to figure out a way in which i could replicate hand writting in Flash as2? I basically have a form in flash and i want it to be completed in handwritting, one box in the form at a time. I want to the pre-defined text to 'written' letter by letter?
This would look sooo much better than just having the text box to just appear.
This is an area of Flash I haven't experimented in, so I don't know where to start. Is it possible to run an SWF, and have Flash export variables externally, as the SWF is running? So for example, export an Array to XML? It doesn't need to be PHP, and stored serverside etc, just written locally on the computer would be fine.
I am trying to write code that takes my text in my text fields and when the submit is pressed, everything typed gets sent to my e-mail address.Also I can't figure out where to put the digits and the dind text in the code.[code]
I am writing a webcam chat in flash (for the client side), I also am using PHP/Apache/Memcache for the server side for text chats... What exactly will I need in terms of server side software to connect these users flash/swf sessions together? I currently have an ubuntu server running Lamp (Apache/Php/MySql/Memcache)the client to client text chatting works fine, just need to somehow connect the webcams.
I'm trying to write a simple plugin for the flash player flowplayer (documentation for writing a plugin for flowplayer can be found here). I'm new to flash and I think I'm having a problem connecting the .fla file to the .as file when compiling into a .swf. As it is, when I include the plugin, the player doesn't show up.
I've set the .fla's document class to the .as file and added the .as file to the .fla's publishing classpath.
The .as file can be found here and the .fla file can be found here
I have a simple form in Flash. I need to write the data from the input text fields to a local text file. I need the text file to append after each submission of the form to include all entries. Sounds simple?
I am writing an AIR application through which I want to open a native process 'wordpad.exe' and write data generated in the AIR application to a document.
The wordpad application opens with a blank document but it generates an error Error#2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:.text=Error #3128: Error while writing data to NativeProcess.standardInput.
[URL] I needed to do clean up before the MC is gone ... so after some digging I found this event:
Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE
So I am trying to ask for some conformation here: Is this the ONLY situation that my MC will be deleted automatically by Flash? If so then I can just listen to this even and call my cleanup function when it happens...
I'm going to write a custom multimedia player. It will be embedded into a web-browser and will receive data from a server over SSL connection.
Required functionality is: MPEG4 video and different VoIP audio decoding (e.g. G.711 or G.729) custom controls waveform representation (or just flexible drawing API) I think about Adobe Flash (or Flex). But I know little about this technology. My biggest concern is multimedia decoding.
Can you recommend Adobe Flex or anything else for this project? What pitfalls can I expect on this way?
I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter var myLV = new LoadVars(); function sendData() { //sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php myLV.hsdata = myText; myLV.send("hiscores.php"); }
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
I am writing a JSFL script that resizes flas and saves various versions, with appened names. I can get a "Save As" prompt to pop up using fl.saveDocumentAs();But I can't seem to get flash to generate a new name for the FLA.I just want to save "document.fla" as "document_foo.fla" ,(and later "document_qux.fla"), preferably without interrupting the script with a "save as" prompt.
can you write and modify XML files using server-side Actionscript? I've been going through Adobe's Server-side Actionscript reference, reading up on the File class that lets you modify files on the server, and the server-side XML class that lets you read and 'understand' XML data, but can you put them together and essentially edit XML files on the server?
I'm creating a game at the moment for my university course and it involves the player character jumping on top of boxs twice to break them as opposed to just once.What would be the most efficient/simple way of writing this in Actionscript 3.
