If I want to pass form data from html to flash, do I have to use a server side script from php, asp, cgi, etc?If so, what would go in the FORM action? (FORM action="??" id=form method=post name=form>)
View 9 RepliesThe app is basically a small product catalog, depending on the choices made within the app I need to feed that data as a string into a text field in a html form that the app will redirect to when a submit button is pressedMy knowledge of AS3 is pretty limited and I'm learning it on the fly and I've really no idea how to accomplish this.Somebody said I should use the ExternalInterface function but I've really no idea how to do it and on reading the flash help file it seems that ExternalInterface communicates with the html page in which the .swf is located, whereas I need it to pass data to another html page and then load that page.
For instance say I have a html page called forms.html and that page has a textfield with the ID: FlashOutput and Label: Your Order, I have a string of data and a submit button that redirects to the URL form.html how do I pass my data string to the textfield within that html page?
Actionscript Code:
//---My Data---\var flashOut:String = new String();flashOut = "Product Code: ABC1234 Typeface: 3 FontColour: Silver YourInscription: Hello."//---My Submit Button---

The movie runs fine and shows no errors, but when my browser opens forms.html the data is not there. I assume this is because I'm using navigateToURL(new URLRequest("form.html) and therefore opening a new instance of form.html rather than the one I've already loaded into flash. Am I right? and if so how do I open the pre-loaded version? Or....am I way off and have failed to understand something quite basic?

I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

I have a question. How do you pass variables from flash to php? What I wanna do is, get the username and password entered in this form made in flash, when the submit button is hit, it will open and send these variables to login_processor.php. If the info is put in correctly, it will take them to a different page. The login_processor.pgp works for html form, but not for flash. In flash I have two input texts, and I gave them each their own var names.

Okay, there is something that I don't quite understand. I built a flash contact form in Flash CS4 and embedded the swf in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I upload the files in my server but why it's not working? I created a test folder in my folder and it does work... (It doesn't work here) [URL] The problem is that I'm not receiving the information when the user enters and submits the information on the contact form. I do receive the information on the test link. I'm posting the Flash AS and PHP Code to see if anyone can point out any mistake that I'm doing.

I have a swf (swf#1) with links to another swf (swf #2). I would like use GET to pass data out of swf #1 to a PHP page that will be holding swf #2. I want swf #2 to start at a specific frame based on the data passed from swf #1.
View 1 RepliesI have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
I am trying to input a form that I have the html coding into Adobe Flash CS4 and don't really know how to go about doing this.

I have a flash banner and embedded the flash swf the usual way. The flash banner has an xml file that loads in images.when published it views and works fine. But when I incorporate into my site it doesnt load the xml file. I believe it is because on the site i have friendly URLS. so when you are on the home page it looks for the file in home/images.xml.when you are in about page, it looks for the file at about/images.xml.I believe that i have to pass a param giving the absolute path to the flash file so that it loads.
