I'm am trying to send an email form, from flash to my web hosts cgi scipt (mailgate). I am unsure how to translate the html code given by the host to use in actionscript and where to put the hidden variables to make this work. My action script reads-
stop ();
function sendForm () {
my_lv = new LoadVars ();

I'm trying to create a test taking application for a system that already exists. Currently everything is done in HTML, but they need to convert the app to flash to add tricky components. So for now, everything is in HTML format and everything is created dynamically using mod_perl and a mysql database.The problem really comes in when one of the test questions has an image included with it. The image is stored in the database and with HTML was just inserted into the <HEAD> tag in raw format. The image does not actually reside anywhere on the server , just in the database.
View 6 RepliesI was wondering if anyone had found out that there is a limit to how much information can be sent with LoadVars. I guess that limit could be the number of properties of the loadVars object, or size of the properties being sent.
View 2 RepliesI've got a small problem with loadvars. I want to send data from Flash to PHP, which usually works well. But right now I need to send "larger" amounts of data around 10-20kb and loadvars doesn't work anymore.
Using loadvars to open browser-windows seems to work fine, but I want everything to happen inside of flash.
The code is:
Code:
datastring = "1, 2, 3 (...) 4998, 4999, 5000"; // long text
loadstring = 'save.php?data='+datastring;
db = new LoadVars();

Works fine with small text, with big text nothing happens. How to do this the right way?
Edit: Loadvars seems to work up until 4050 characters, 4051 and it doesn't send anymore. But I can't really split the query..
I need to send a image to PHP (server) and get it in my mail. Sending using LoadVars.
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;

var output:String = bmd.getPixel(1,1).toString(16);
trace(output);
while (output.length<6){
output = "0"+output;

I am using loadVars with the send method to send my contact info to a php file. This works fine but when I press the submit button the browser goes to the email.php file. How do i prevent it from opening that file in the browser window?
Heres the [AS]
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.name = name;
lv.company = company;
lv.phone = phone;
lv.email = email;
lv.message = message;
lv.send("email.php", "POST");
}

I was just wondering if it is important to include POST as a method of sending loadVars to the php file. i was using POST before and i still ecountered some problems of receiving empty mails. Since i found an example which do not use POST or REQUEST method i dont have anymore prob. I just wanted to get another opinion about that as i wanna start using server side script with flash and i know that ill be using the POST method.

I am creating an online video for a client. I have it set to play the video in frame 1 and then go to frame 2 once the video has completed. What I'd like to do is have it automatically send me an email once the person has reached that 2nd frame. Is there a way to do this? It wouldn't need to have any kind of form or anything. Just a simple message saying "Fred has watched your presentation".

I have a game where at the end there is a "send to friend" feature. Normally I would collect the user's name, friends name, friends email, then make a call to a php script, pass the information and let the php handle the rest. But is there a way to handle this entirely in flash? Does AS3 have an emailing feature?

I would like to take a "screenshot" of the stage within flash and send it as an image by email. I have tried AMFPHP and the method described here - [URL]. This is saving a jpg of a movie on the server, but no email function. I know how to setup a very simple php email file but without attachment.

We have an interactive with about 30 buttons. The reader is asked to choose among the buttons, each of which change a chart that shows the California Budget Deficit. In other words the reader is reducing the said deficit by clicking a button which then "defunds a program" and changes the main chart. When the reader clicks a button we have a dynamic text field (for each button) that registers that that button has been clicked. At the end the reader is invited to submit his choices, that is, which buttons have been clicked.What we would like to do is have each submission emailed to us so we could do a breakdown of how the readers chose to reduce the budget.Is there ANY WAY to take the contents of a series of dynamic text fields and have them automatically appear in an email that the reader could send to us? Or are we doomed to construct a database?
