How can I send 'eCards' from within flash? I want the user to pick/select an image and put some text and the email address the email goes to into formula. I want to send an customized email with individual text and (inline) attached image to a defined email address.
View 3 RepliesWould like to understand the basic process behind an ecard before I attempt to construct one!Obviously there could be the following elements:Initial web page containing a Swf (choose swf) offering a user a choise of ecards and a consisting of a series of text input fields to collect recipients and senders address and a message. With actionscript that calls a php file on the server.
Passing variables holding the card choise the card text the email from and to etc from swf to php file.The php script runs and creates a copy of a swf card, the one chosen by the user(swf1) It populates the swf copy with text from the variables set by the choose card swf.the php then sends an email to the recipient address with ? and this is where I am unclear?Does it send an attachment of the swf1 or how does it do it?
I have one that's almost done and the stage size is 700x800 px. But I'm starting to worry if that's going to look too small? To change it, will be a lot of work - there's animation, imported Jpegs etc. As far as I can tell, in order for it to look correct in larger dimensions I will need to basically create it again from the ground up. So, I'd really like to get an idea of what the optimal pixel dimensions would be for ecards to run on multiple platforms.
I really want to do this and I don't feel like I can move ahead until I get the viewing size correct. I don't even mind redoing the card. I just want my future cards to be the correct size. I don't want to have to come back and redo them all. By the way, the cards are being made in Flash. The site itself will be created in DreamWeaver.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.

I am actually discovering Classes.I try to make a class that reads out an XML file and than converts it into arrays.the array is well created in the class file, but I can't send it back to the swf correctly: it only duplicates the first item of the array in an infinite loop, but when I trace it into the class the output displays it right..
with this code I call the class:
Code:
var myProduct:Product = new Product("gallery.xml");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(myProduct.getArray());

a week ago I bought the following monster template template:[URL]..my last changes to it were to the popup boxes that appear on the SERVICII page when you click those titles there. Right after those changes it compiled and published, everything ok, i did several other tasks in Photoshop then back to my flash and at the next recompile, Error - Send don't send Flash has to close. I reopened it and it keeps closing forced. I tried undoing my steps but nothing worked. I am desperate, the project is due completion on saturday and my source is messed up.
Can anyone tell me why I get that? Has anyone been in a similar situation.I am a flash newbie, I saw no errors in "Compiler Errors" or in "Output", just force closing the Flash CS3.
I use this code to convert an image to a BitmapData and store a JPG in a ByteArray.
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (img_mc.width, img_mc.height);
jpgSource.draw(img_mc);
[code]....
Now, I want to do the following:
1. send the ByteArray to PHP;
2. PHP must store a physical image_id.jpg on server;
3. then PHP must return the URL of the image to Flash;
The first lines of PHP could be:
if (isset($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]))
{
// get bytearray
$jpg = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];

Example of code which would be used to send a bunch of variables to a PHP script via flashThis would require the PHP script to load when the data is sent.I want to use this for a Flash event calender which triggers more information about the event to appear in a HTML area of the page when an event is clicked on. The PHP file would be the same file that the SWF is embeded in so the FLASH file would reload the page with the variable sent to the PHP. The PHP would use this variable to select the right content from a MySQL database.
View 13 RepliesI have to send some specific xml to a php script (from flash AS2) that then sends out sms message based on the xml. I have been given the xml by the sms sender and have tested it via their live demo and that works fine. The problem I am having is getting flash to send this XML.
The sms sender states that it needs to recieve the xml in the following format: The XML Document should be posted uriencoded, with a UTF‐8 character set as paramaeter 'xml'
Here is the code I have so far, I think something is missing maybe. I have tried running the swf in a browser rather than in the flash testing environment
var my_xml:XML = new XML('<xml></xml>');
my_xml.contentType = "text/xml";
send_btn.onRelease = function () {

View 1 Repliesbasically, the ecard will start with 3 questions.each question has 3 answers.so user choses the answer e.g. B, B, C and clicks preview.it will play the movie clip assigned to B B C in sequence.then user can click send to sent to friend.so the URL needs to be able to identify the sequence maybe in parameters.so that when his friend receives the ecard and clicks on the flash it will play B B C sequence.then his frind can create his own ecard and maybe A C A etc...So how i created like that?

View 3 RepliesProblems on php send color var to flash (AS2.0)
code in php:
echo "<font color="#CCCCCC">";
echo "Hell-lo World!";
echo "<font>";
in browser output, everything is fine, the color of the font has changed to #CCCCC but when i load the code into flash e.g.
slogan_txt.html = true;
slogan_txt.htmlText = textFromPhp;
the color hasn't changed.
I've trace (slogan_txt.htmlText);
I can see there are a lot of default setting for htmlText:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">
But I couldn't see my imported php code <font color=#cccccc>
On the other hand, the imported php code of font size could override the default html setting of flash player I've also try echo "<font color=""."#"."CCCCCC"."">"; no luck.
Send data from Flash to PHP = Possible. Is it possible the other way? ( for example, send a variable from PHP to Flash ). If it is, how secure is it? Can people see the data that was sent?
View 8 RepliesSo I'm trying to send an array of values from PHP to Flash, but the problem is any character I could use to separate the values could potentially be in the value itself.
Fine, no problem I thought. I'll just urlencode the variables and allow (for arguments sake) commas to separate the 'encoded' values.
Just after I'd finished laughing about my mighty victory over code adversary as I often do, I attempted to fetch the array from the PHP file and I quickly learned that Flash automatically applies the 'escape' function to the data after it is received. My laughter was replaced by (for theatrical sake) tears!
A way to tell Flash to stop automatically 'escaping' the incoming variables, or
A way to send an array of values without using a character that could be used in the variable (which could be anything... fullstops, commas, dashes. Pretty much anything within reason)
Now, before you mention that I should just make a NVP (Name value pair) for each variable in the array, know that there is quite a lot of data already being loaded, and adding (what I consider is) unnecessary extra NVP syntax (which would double the large amount of data I'm sending) could potentially cause trouble, not to mention a general lack of bandwidth.
Should I bite the bullet and NVP my arrays (ugh!), or maybe use an obscure character as the separator... but I would like a practical approach to this solution... like stopping Flash from automatically escaping the input.[code]...
