ActionScript 2.0 :: Reading XML Data Generated By PHP In Flash?
Sep 9, 2009
I have a normal XML file which i chucked together that works fine with the code i have below - this is obviously saved as an xml file as well. What I'm trying to do is generate an XML page using PHP. I have done so, works fine and reads as it should correctly when simply viewing the page in a browser, but when i try and read out the data in flash (loading in a php file instead of an xml file, everything is undefined!! Below is the flash code, which works when the load() link is changed to a straightforward xml file...
Code:
newsPageContent_txt.html = true;
var test_xml = new XML();
test_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
the header at the top of this PHP is generating the page as xml, so it should all be valid.

I'm basically interacting with a third party API flash file to send HTTP POST requests to my server. know I'm on somewhat the right path because it requires a crossdomain.xml file, and before I added that part nothing in the POST variables was showing up, however since I added that file there are 4 variables that are set, these POST variables are sent by the application to give me basic information about the file.. but I actually need to read the RAW POST data to actually save the image being sent by the Flash.I'm aware there are 3 ways...$GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA which is probably the same as the firstfile_get_contents('php://input')For whatever reason, neither of these "work". By "work" I mean they're not being set, when I var dump them I get nothing.
Could it be that there's a setting in php.ini that I need to set, or perhaps the Flash application is truly not sending the actual image? I think it's doing the right thing, because it's a semi popular API and it's used by a couple other sites so I'm pretty sure it's right on their end.

sent form data in Flash to a PHP script before and then read in a variable (say a user id) that gets passed back by the PHP. simple enough.but if the script passes back XML, how do i read that in?elow is the code i've used to send PHP a name and an email address and get back a userid, but i'm not sure how to go about writing the code if the script is passing flash a chunk of XML instead?
ActionScript Code:
var userRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("saveUser.php");
var userLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

...Anyway. Since college happened, I'm used to C++ storing data in .txt files and reading in from there. I'm trying to make a monopoly remake for something to do while Christmas comes, and I wanted to store all the card information somewhere. I thought of storing it in some sort of "Information Class" or perhaps just a text file.
how does AS3 read from text files?

I've been using Flash for a while now but have just started using Flash Combined with XML. I'm trying to make a poll system in flash which grabs data from a PHP generated xml file. This is the contents of the xml file at the moment.

This is where the path_var becomes undefined

My company has a database-driven system of web forms, each ofwhich consists of many questions in various layouts (2-columnradio, 1 column checkbox, etc). The forms are never hard-coded.Each HTTP request causes Java code to perform DB queries todynamically generate the various questions and answers.Thosequestions are then rendered through JSP and Struts tiles into HTML.The HTML also contains JavaScript functions to hide/showconditional questions on the web page based on answers to earlierquestions. Now we're trying to figure out the best way to adapt thissystem to use a Flash front-end instead of HTML/JavaScript.My preliminary research suggests at least two possibleapproaches:
1. A pre-compiled SWF could send a request with certainparameters, and the server could respond with an XML description ofthe form to build. Then the SWF could parse that XML andynamically generate the form using attachMovie for each formelement (with a lot of math to determine relative positions ofelements with variable sizes, like text labels). 2. Flex might reduce the code for placing elements, by usingMXML to describe the form structure as well as visual arrangement.I haven't used this yet, and I'm wary of Flex 2 simply because itrequires Flash Player 9 which is only at 50% browser penetration

I have a function that generates a series of mcs from XML. These mcs contain buttons. I need to pass the ID of the movie that the button is attached to into the button events, but I can't figure it out. See the code below. How do I pass something into the button event? Or do I need to rethink?
Code:
for (var i=0; i <= 15; i++) {
identID = "ident" + i;

I am currently doing a simple project, and I need to save the players' scores into database for later retrieval. I used URLLoader and URLRequest to send XML object containing game score to a JavaServer Page (storedata.jsp) running on Apache Tomcat server. The AS3 code snippet is shown below:
public function sendData(xmlData:XML):void
{
var xmlData:XML = <block>
<chapter1>
[code]....
However, here comes the problem. The pageContext.request.reader doesn't return a parsed XML object. When I display using c: out, I saw [#document null] output. Hence, the x:set statement generates runtime error.

I have created an item-renderer (IListItemRenderer) to customize the display of a datagrid, and I override the data getter/setter to pass in the relevant variable.
In the item-renderer I have a button, which, when clicked, should display a form populated with various fields of the aforementioned variable. To do this, Button is overridden so that it displays whatever IFactory implementation it is passed.
private function instantiateDropdown():void
{
_dropdownFactory = new ClassFactory(MyPanel);
_dropdownFactory.properties = {boundData: _myVariable};
[Code]....
My IFactory implementation is a panel containing my form, and it is displayed when the button is clicked, as desired. However, the variable is not set. It seems that in order to instantiate my IFactory before the overridden button needs to access it, my new ClassFactory() statement needs to be in the preinitialize event handler, but the variable has not been set at that time. Setting the properties of my IFactory instance after it has been created (e.g. in the click event) does not appear to work.
How should I pass my variable to my ClassFactory-generated instance so that it populates the form correctly?

I have managed to import and read a PDF using the CF Proxy for Actionscript: [URL]After all my trouble there, the precious form filed information that I was looking for was not there in the PDF info object. GRRRR. So I am back to looking for a way to do this with CFC's or CFM's or PHP.All I want is this:
Read the PDF from a Flex app.GET the form field information.WRITE a new PDF with the form field values.I have found so many close but no cigar options ... and I have tried so many that failed. There are so many free PDF this and that out there. But Adobe seems to reserve the real functionality for themselves. All the free options don't seem to have access to the form data?

i have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.

i've filled a circle shape with the bitmap data of a bitmap asset.i need to rotate the circle from the center, so i added the bitmap to the center of the circle and used a matrix transformation to shift the bitmapdata upward and leftward so it appears centered.
now i'm trying to read the bitmap data with getPixel() but the return value is off since it is returning the untransformed position of the bitmap data instead of the visible transformed bitmapdata.
Bitmap(Sprite(evt.currentTarget).getChildAt(0)).bitmapData.getPixel(evt.localX, evt.localY)
how can i get an accurate reading of the pixel data from a bitmap with a matrix transformation? updated with code. assume the redCircleData in my example is more colorful and something worth retrieving pixel data.
var redCircleData:Sprite = new Sprite();
redCircleData.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1.0);
redCircleData.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 100);[code]............
