ActionScript 2.0 :: Pass Variables From Flash To PHP?
Aug 16, 2011
I have a flash movie which is a registration form for new players for a league. When I submit the information to the PHP file, the PHP file writes the data to a mysql database.
The problem is that it is writing the variable with HTML tags, it's not just the variable like firstName, lastName.
If I change the AS code to to write "text" instead of the variable it inserts properly into the database, just the text, no HTML tags as you would expect.
I am trying to load an AS2 swf from an AS3 swf. The AS2 swf which was written long back, expects parameters from the timeline(_root). These were passed to it before from HTML using flashvars. Now I am trying to get rid of the HTML pages, by directly loading the AS2 swf from the AS3 swf. However, when I try to load the AS2 swf using the Loader class, the swf loads fine, but the parameters are not getting passed on.
I tried to add the query string to the url parameter I used in the URL request used for the Loader, but that did not work.(Adding URL variables as data to URLRequest did not work either.)
i like to know how do u pass variables from flash to another html. mine is just one simple variable.what i get from flash Help is using GET and POST(after declaring the variables)
I am generating a url from another application that looks like this: I am trying to pull the variable "mark" into a swf and display it in dynamic text box. The URL will change depedning on the user and I plan on adding additional variables to the string as well (lastname, state, age, etc).
I have a real simple request for some reason cannot pull it off. I have a url that looks like this: [URL]
I am trying to pull the variable "mark" into a swf. The URL will change depedning on the user and I plan on adding additional variables as well (lastname, state, age, etc).
I use actionscript 2 but would consider myelf a novice as I am more into design.
Im having trouble receiving data from my php file using a loadVars object and sendAndLoad.Every variable is returned as "undefined". Here s my actionscript code:
I would like to pass over 50 items of variables from php to flash. Actually I want to pass array with foreach statement, looping through the array and assigning loop index to the variables and flash again accept the php values through looping. Is this possible? If passing values through foreach or loop statement is impossible, I would like to break a new line in tag. how can I break a new line in FlashVars tag?
I'm trying to pass variables representing name and email address to a swf file. The swf takes a picture with the users webcam and sends the image to save.php for further processing. Currently I have text fields for the user to enter name and email, but I'd like to eliminate them and add the info behind the scenes. Basically this is what I'm trying to accomplish:
1.Page loads and stores name and email address in variables(index.php).
2.I'd like to pass name and email address variables to flash to be included with the image the swf sends to a php file for processing (save.php)
3.Page loads flash content(take_picture.swf) and does it's thing.
I've got this working in a similar situation using Zend AMF, where the swf gets all the info passed back from another page accessing the database. Here I have the data I need without accessing the database. I've tried many variations using FlashVars, but nothing has worked yet. One thing I seem to be missing is when I publish the fla, there is no ac_fl_runcontent in the html code Flash publishes. And there is no <embed src=... either. This div is the body of the html file Flash gives me:
I have this php script which is working fine and sending data to my flash file. However i have to manually put in the user and pass variables in order to load the data. I have tried a number of methods to update the php variables yet i can't seem to get it working.[code]...
having trouble receiving data from my php file using a loadVars object and sendAndLoad.Every variable is returned as "undefined".my actionscript code:var retorno:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I am using flash vars to pass variables into my swf file.but i want to refetence a Mc by using a flash var. [code]how Can i call a Mc from the flash vars and have it do something
I have searched the forums and internet and nothing seems to work. It sounds so simple but the variables are not passing into flash. Here is the scenario:
On frame one of my flash file I have: stop(); var sendLV = new LoadVars(); var recLV = new LoadVars();
I've read tutorials everywhere which use PHP scripts etc.etc. to send data between the web page and flash. I am planning to play music from a web-page which is shown inside the flash application. The user clicks a hyperlink, and the url is given to the flash application, and the song is automatically played.
pass variables from one flash file to another? Basically there's a flash navigator that has multiple links in it. Once clicked it needs to pass a variable to go to another keyframe in another flash file. I'm guessing the receiving flash needs to be able to receive a variable and if variable == a certain variable it goes to and plays a specific keyframe.
I am trying to make a flash file open a specific xml file from a URL that is set in the php file. when a the page is loaded, the php file is called for the variable. you must use a query line in the URL....example : [URL]
the php file should see the 'folder' variable and use it in the url that i want to load the xml file from. Once the variable is set in the php file, i want to transfer it to the swf file without having to change the url that the user types.
Here is basically what i want to do....
i want to be able to type in www.mysite.com/test.swf?folder=MyFolder in the browser. the php file will check some stuff in the mysql database and make sure that the user's space is not used up.....i can do that part with the space. If the user's space is not used up, it will post a variable to the swf file to load the xml file with the 'folder' variable in the url.. example :.com/TheFolderVariable/thexmlfile.xml Once the variable is passed to the swf file, it will load properly.
I was trying to use the loadVars() and the loadVariable() commands but i cannot get the php file to post back to the swf.
I have a simple flash based quiz which ends on a screen with the user's name, date and acore. I need to have a button that creates a printable pdf (or populates an existing pdf) file with this info so they can print or save it. Is this possible?
This is a re-opened case because some goblins entered my house during the night and sabotaged my script Everything was fine last night. Everything ran as it should.
import flash.net.URLLoader;//------var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();myVariables.gallery = "nature";var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xmlGenesis.php");myURLRequest.data = myVariables;var ulLoader:URLLoader= new URLLoader();ulLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,xmlComplete);ulLoader.load(myURLRequest)//---------------
now doesn't work. The php script is not being run. I have checked the following:
1. server is ON 2. no file names have changed 3. the php script works when I run it manually
The above code just isn't passing the value "nature" to the script. On the php side I have:
My question is not like the one I read because the context is different: Let's say instead of embedding a flash inside an html page with some flashvars, I want to embed it inside another flash or flex. How to set the flashvars in this case (using ActionScript 3)? So how to embed Flash in another flash and set same variables as it was embedded in html by passing querystring or flashvars.
When I pass a single variable (telephone) from Flash using the below it works fine
var xmlSaveLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlSaveLoader.load(new URLRequest("customer_insert.php?telephone="+teleph one));
I can read the variable in PHP using $key_telephone = $HTTP_GET_VARS[telephone];
and then run sql command to insert into table customers mysql_query("INSERT into customers (telephone) values ($key_telephone) ");
However, I have a problem and don't know how to pass multiple variables to PHP. I tried the following to pass a second variable (first_name)but it doesn't seem to work... xmlSaveLoader.load(new URLRequest("customer_insert.php?telephone="+teleph one+"&first_name="+first_name));
i am wanting to know how much I can be sure that users of my website will not be able to pass bogus variables to my Flash movie. Basically I will have some features available to certain users and I realise that for the average user they will not know anything about how to send spoof vars but is it possible for someone to change the variables sent using SWFObject when a page loads and thus be able to use the functionality that I am trying to disable for them.I have a PHP (my_flash_movie.php) page that calls a function from an included globals.php file to determine if the user can see the restricted functionality is_ user_a_subscriber($_SESSION['user_id']); which returns 1 or 0. This 1 or 0 is then passed to Flash which enables or disables certain features. I dont want someone to be able to send a 1 instead of a 0 basically. This isnt a site where security is critical and the functionality that is disabled is not really critical either so wouldnt be too bad if this happened but im just curious about this and wondering if I should think of another way to pass these vars that might be more hidden.
I've created a Flash Animation (CS5, ActionScript 3) and converted it to SWF. The flash animation needs the values of 3 variables (defined in the swf timeline) BEFORE it starts running in my Flex application. I've embedded the swf file using swfloader in Flex, but I need to pass the parameters from Flex into Flash before the animation starts. How do I do this?
The way I have my flex code setup below, the variables are not being updated. I get an exception every time it gets to the changeParams function because it can't find "Type", "Num1", etc.
Part of My flash code:
//These 3 variables need to be populated via Flex BEFORE the animation starts... var Num2:int; var Num1:int;
