I'm trying to send a negative value to a text file using loadvars().
so i did this:
send_lv.xPos = currObj._x;
but if the _x is negative, the minus is replaced by '%2D' How do i send the minus sign??
I am using FMS 4.5 and have a simple application which I want to use to send two strings to a php file. But I get a compilation error whenever I try to assign any value to these objects:
Here is main.asc:
<code>
var variables = new LoadVars();
variables.username = "uname";
variables.send(http://url.abc.com/test.php,POST)
</code>
I can't compile with the second line. FMS just says: Sending error message: Compilation error
How do I send variables to a HTTP URL?
I made a Flash-based "news section" for my website. This file uses a text field (with render-as HTML) and an instance name of dynamicText. The actionscript fills this text field with content from a TXT file called homeNews.txt.Everything works great, except if I make additions to the TXT file and re-upload to the server, the Flash file still calls an old version of the TXT file from my cache. This even happens after emptying the cache. This is a huge problem if I need to add daily updates. This problem only occurs on the server and not when testing locally.
Here is the code I put in my Flash file:
Code:
Ext_text = new LoadVars();
Ext_text.onLoad = addText;
Ext_text.load("homeNews.txt","POST");

I am trying to control the visibility of a movie clip using a boolean variable contained within a text file.
The mc i want to make invisible is in a swf which is loaded into a 'master.swf' using a MovieClipLoader object.
I have managed to get text to display across various boxes in my loaded (child) MC using a loadvars obeject defined in the masterMC and used by the childMC. I just cant seem to be able to get the value of my Boolean variable to go with the text variables and therefore control the visibilty of my MC.
This is my code - (in the master movie):
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code]....
The code it concerns is this:
(which I found here on kirupa i belive)
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {

Im trying to load a variable from a text file with loadVars.The txt file has this -
Code:
num = 10
The flash looks like this
Code:
var load_lv = new LoadVars();
load_lv.load("tmbnum.txt");
load_lv.onLoad = loadTextVariables;[code]....
I am trying to obtain the variables/contents of a php or a text file from my server using loadVars(), and the problem is that flash can get data from almost every server but from mine. (some shared hosting service) I just tried the code provided in the help files:
Code:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
[code]....
I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance.
I wonder if this is doable. Let say if I have an object:
var car:Object = new Object();
car.color = 'red';
car.doors = ' 4';
car.make = 'Honda';
car.model = 'Accord';
Can I send this object via Loadvars like this:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();send_lv.carobj = car;
send_lv.sendAndLoad("script goes here", result_lv, "POST");
I am trying to make a simple POST using LoadVars. Since I am using an API there are some limitations though. The request must be send via POST with a JSON header. The body of the request should not contain name value pairs, but rather just a JSON object.
This last requirement has been troublesome for me because it seems like the only way to make a POST with LoadVars requires you to specify a variable name.

I have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code:
&songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3
&songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code:
lv = new LoadVars();

I have a very simple form to send user data to a php file
when i run my form from FLASH PROFESSIONAL it send without problem
but when i run SWF or html with SWF no matter on lacal disc or website it doesn't work[code]...
Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.
I'm using very successfully the "loadVars.send()", using the POST method. BUT I did not expect to see a popup browser window!? I can shut it down using another javascript, but get a confirmation message (because I didn't open up that unwanted browser window using js)... Is there any way I can call a loadVars send without the popup browser window? I am using: myVars.send ("Aurora.php", "POST"); Using: myVars.send("Aurora.php", "_blank", "POST"); or myVars.send ("Aurora.php", "", "POST"); gets me the same pop up window.

I'm working on an Android Air app made in CS5.5 where user data is saved in the app's applicationStorageDirectory as a text file.
Is there a way to send this saved text file to another device's applicationStorageDirectory via Bluetooth/email/text e.g?
The idea is that the app "game" is saved on each person's device. When the game is over, I want the users to be able to compare their results. (I'll write some code to compute who the winner is via comparing the two results)
I am making an application wherein i will need to send the properties of shapes to a text file. That is, its x, y, xscale, yscale, rotation etc. Now the thing is, there could be any number of such shapes. And then, i also need to retrieve those values to redraw them onto the stage.
So how do i go about it? i mean do i create a new loadVars() instance for each shape and send it to the php file? Will that not create a separate text file for each shape?? And how do i get those variables back into the swf? Do i create just one loadVars then or do i create a new loadVars for each shape? How will i know how many to create if there is a separate text file for each shape?
I'm very new to php so i have only a theoretical understanding of how it works. I only need to do the AS part of it.

Also, I didnt build the site myself and the developer not Define terms of video playback (which has been less than great so far) the player seems to be a rather strange resolution (600x340) which is not native 16:9 and wont recognize 4:3 encodes without stretching and warping.
