I need to send a variable (zipcode) to a coldfusion script and also load the cf page that displays the results (same script) in the browser window (_self) is getURL the appropriate choice for this? (never done it this way before). if so, does using POST in a getURL just grab any variables on the _root? where does it get its variables?

I am loading in some text which is stored in a text object with the var name of jslink

how to incorporate a variable into a getURL like so -
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('I want to insert a variable HERE','','width=600,height=500,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No ,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No, fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0); return false;");
}
I want to be able to generate a new window that just loads into it an image that's in the sites directory. I know it can be done in javascript, cause this code works in a html page
<a href="" " onclick="window.open('#fullSiteTextImage#/#uploadTextImageDirectory#/large_#strTextImageImage#','', 'width=600,height=500,noscrollbars'); return false;>
The green bit is a CFM variable, which contains something like flash/flash_images/image.jpg
So how can I do this from flash? I KNOW it can be done. It must be possible, someone please help me. The thing that seems to stuff it up to me is the fact that I have to enclose the getURLs URL parameter in quotes, so flash doesnt evaluate the variable.

how to add a variable to a getURL Javascript function. I have; ActionScript Code: getURL("javascript:JavascriptFunctionNAme(ASVariableName?);"); It works fine when I replace ASVariableName with "1" or some other plain text.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a simple form in AS2 that will send some variables via POST. These are being sent to a CMS in the background. Unfortunately, the CMS mandates that the variables must be named a certain way. They must be named fields[thefieldname] which really messes up the Actionscript involved. Does anyone have any thoughts about how I could escape these [ ] characters so they don't get interpreted wrongly as an Array by actionscript?

I am trying to set up a form in a flash movie that will post the users entry to a php page. I then need the php page to re-direct the user to a page to show a result.
I have the following AS in the flash form. It seems to post to the php page but from within the flash movie. Rather than taking them to the php page, as a non-flash form post would.
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("search.php", 0, "POST");
}
Is there a way I can get the flash form to post to the php page in the same way a non-flash form would post.
Hope this makes sense! Basically, when the user clicks the submit button, I need the browser to load another php page that gets the user's input via post.
How can I pass a Form post variable into Flash?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a small email capture form, but I'm having trouble getting Flash to pass the email address to the server. I've since given up trying to use getURL and I'm simply trying to trace the variable instead. The form consists of a text box w/ instance name "email_txt" and a button w/ instance name "btnSignUp." the actionscript is placed on the button.
Here's PHP Code:
on(release) {
trace("email_txt says: " + email_txt);
// getURL stuff here
}
My trace statement reads:
Code:
email_txt says: undefined
I would like to use Flash to send a ByteArray (of a PNG image) to a php file, in a facebook application. Is there a way to do this by sending the ByteArray as just one POST variable instead of as the entirety of the POST data?
There was a nearly identical question here: How can I send a ByteArray (from Flash) and some form data to php? but the problem is different; instead of smuggling other variables in other parts of the request, the image itself has to be sent as just a variable because Facebook commandeers the post data and puts in its own junk.
If not, can I send the image in some form other than a byteArray?
Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.
Is it possible that I go to an html page , (which contains a flash movie) and let the movie start playing in a certain behaviour according to a parameter passed in the URL?
View 3 RepliesCurrently I'm setting up a webservice, which includes a login to access the member area.I'm testing all components seperately, and I've ran into a problem. When the user logs in I want flash to retrieve the user_id as a variable, so that I can use this user_id for member related database access. However, I'm having problems with retrieving the user_id.The login is done by inputting the email and password of the user. If these variables match the data in the database the user is send to the member area. I want to get the user_id by posting the email variable to a php file. In the php file the following code is responsible for this:
PHP Code:
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["email"]);

Maybe I am doing this the hard way with eval, is there an easier way, such as passing an array of post variables?
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I've created a 'flashvars' tag in my embed code (aid=test), which I simply wish to add to the end a GetUrl statement, contained in within a button (which is on the first level of the flash movie). This is the code I've added to the button...
on (release) { getURL("http://www.platinumselect.com?id="+aid);}
But this doesnt seem to work!? Is there anything else I need to do?
