I know nothing about server-side anything, but I'd like to be able to put some simple data into a text file on my own hard drive with flash. I'm guessing its impossible, but is there anything I can install that will do something with the post method of loadVars to receive some text from flash?
View 8 RepliesIm building a reservation form, using actionscript and php. I use sendAndLoad to send variables to php via POST, which returns a different HTTP POST response in case of sucess or not.
Is there anyway to "read" HTTP POST responses with actionscript?
how can I get external variables via POST?
I mean, i have an ASP page that has 5 variables. I need to know how to make AS3 get'em.
I have one .swf that loads a second one on level 2.level 2 then in turn loads variables from a text file .The problem is that it works locally, but refuses to work on the server. The urls are all local. This is such a simple procedure, I can't figure out what is wrong..... are there limitations doing this via server vs. locally? I never get any "file open" errors locally. I've spent 2 hours on this.... I'm just using a simple LoadVars similar to this example:
Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("text3.txt");

I am using the following code to try and post variables to a URL, but the SEND command is still posting the variables via GET.
// ls_print is the URL I am attempting to POST to
lv_request.send(ls_print, "_blank", "POST");
This is what the documentation says, so I'm lost.
I have been tyring to figure this out for a while now and no luck. I have some AS2 code below which works:
on(release)
{
var sendText = "../Flash/uploadVoteandFeed.php?";

I am using this code. The input text fields names are Name and Home.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to send variables to php script via POST with AS2. This is the code I use:
Code:
on(press){
var sendvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
sendvars.at = 'abv';

The variables are sent, but POST is converted to GET and flash open this [URL].
I am trying to send variables from my Flash App to an ASPX page which receives the variables and outputs them on the screen. But he aspx script is not able to receive the variables. I am putting the variable into an object and sending that object using POST method through the URLVaiable class.
View 1 RepliesSometimes, multiple times a day in fact, users of my web application are submitting a certain form which has about a dozen form fields, half of which are hidden fields, and half of the $_POST data is simply not present in the processing script. Note that the fields that are not present are at the very bottom of the form. I know this because this raises a fatal error, and an email is dispatched to me which includes the post data. And of course, neither I nor any of the developers on my team can reproduce the problem. Flash is involved in the process, as I'm using a library called Uploadify to display a progress meter. Here is the flow...why some of the post data would be getting wiped out?
-User visits edit screen for a page in the CMS I am using.
-Record id for the page is put into a form as a hidden value.
-User clicks the Uploadify browse button and selects a file (only single file selection is allowed).
-User clicks Submit button for my form.
-jQuery intercepts the form submit action, triggers Uploadify to start uploading, and returns false for the submit action (manually cancelling the form submit event so that Uploadify can take over).
-Uploadify uploads to a custom process script.
-Uploadify finishes uploading and triggers the Javascript completion callback.
-The Javascript callback calls $('#myForm').submit() to submit the form.
This happens on multiple browsers (Firefox 3.5, 3.6, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, 8) and multiple platforms (Mac OS 10.5, 10.6 and Windows XP, 7).
AS3 documentation says that Strings in AS3 are in UTF-16 format.There is a textbox on a Flash Clip where user can type some data.When a button is clicked, I want this data to be sent to a php script.I have everything set up, but it seems that the PHP script gets the data in UTF-16 format. The data in the database (which is utf-8) shows some unrecognizable characters (where special characters are used), meaning that the data has not been sent in a correct encoding.
var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables;
var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://website.com/systematic/accept.php");
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;

I'm trying to send data via POST, since it's far too long to send via GET.
Here's the code I'm using...
pdfUrl.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.html = data;
pdfUrl.data = vars;
navigateToURL(pdfUrl);
The problem is that it always sends as GET, and the data in vars.html is too long for my server to receive.
To make matters worse, it seems like AIR can only send GET via navigateToURL.
The issue with this is, I need to open a new browser window and send the POST data so that a script on my server can create a PDF file for the user.
I've got a flex app that is basically completed it uses Zend AMF to connect/supply data.My app does have a login screen which seems to work fine. Now I'd like to add another login form on my site that would allows users to enter in username/password. When submitted form should pass the data to the flex app and bypass the application's login.
View 2 RepliesI need to open a new page from Flash, using navigateToURL(...)
I need to send a variable to this newly opened html page that does not appear within the url as a query string, so i'm using POST.
However each time I try it the variables appear within the query string... what am I doing wrong?
ActionScript Code:
var link:String = "test.html";
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVars.username = "username";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(link);
urlRequest.data = urlVars;
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
navigateToURL(urlRequest, "_blank");

At the moment, I am posting information from my flash to a PHP page within the same server. This causes no problems, as I am posting to a PHP file within the same directory.

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?

View 1 RepliesI am writing a type of mail form in AS2 of Flash CS4. I collect two variables (nameCli and messageCli) I setup a "sending button" to appear only when there is a minimum of characters (2) under nameCli AND a minimum of 10 characters in messageCli. When that button is pressed I POST these two vars tru email_lv to email2.php. I do this check to be absolutely sure that these vars have contents.
It works and tests well on several computers (PCs) under XP, Vista and 7.
I haven't tested on a Mac
Under IE and Firefox 3.0.xx
I get the email with the correct values.
The problem: somehow, now and then I get (and worse, my client, to whom I wrote this app, gets) an "empty" email. That is, the subject of these emails are: "Request from" and blank. No name. The message is also blank. Since I know, with no doubt that these vars have content, otherwise the send button wouldn't come up, I am puzzled. I have no idea of what OS or Browsers these users have. Would be possible that some browsers would "block" the vars sent via POST?
email_lv.sendAndLoad("email2.php",dummy_lv, "POST");
email2.php is:
<?php
$to = 'any@whomever.com';$to2 = 'another@whomever.com';
$subject= 'Request from ' . $_POST["nameCli"];
$message = $_POST["messageCli"];
$headers = 'From: WebSite@clientserver.com'. "
" . 'Reply-To: doNOTreply@clientserver.com'. "
" . 'X-M ailer: PHP/'.phpversion() ." ";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);mail($to2, $subject, $message, $headers);

I'm building an AIR application. Basically, what I'm looking to do is using navigateToUrl() to open a browser window, assign it a "name" and then, send variables to that newly opened window using the POST method.
EDIT : I need the window to be visible, this is why I absolutely need to use the navigateToUrl() function
I already know that I CAN'T DO something like this, that the AIR application will send the variables using the GET method...
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.myVar = "Hello my friend";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/my-page.php");
req.method = "POST":

How to post variables to another domain. The other domain is a free cgi-bin service. So I cannot upload a shim movie there. That is, I need to post variables directly to a cgi script on the domain. Is it possible to do so?
