I have a search field in flash, it has a text box with a variable name. When the user clicks the search button, I need to send whatever is in that text field to something called 'search.cfm' . I am unfamiliar with any sort of backend coding, but I am hoping this is a fairly basic thing to do.
View 1 RepliesSimpley put: I need to send search variables to a php script and have the php script send me back xml based on the values of these search variables. I would like to use a sendandload (either loadVars or xml). is there any way to do this easily, without having to parse any xml on the php side?xml.sendAndLoad will send an xml construct to the php page...how can I parse this easily with php, if I have to?
View 2 RepliesI have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?
I am passing a what will soon be my search variable into php from flash. The issue is when I need to search for something that needs to find a string value in quotes it fails.
Below is the like field variable declared in flash. LikeField = "Model_Profile.Gender = 'm' ";
This is how I am capturing my like field in php. $LikeField=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['likefield']);
Below is my query "SELECT count(*) AS Total FROM Model_Profile, Models WHERE Model_Profile.Model_ID = Models.Model_ID AND Models.Active = 1 AND {$LikeField}" For some reason it just doesn't seem to like the single quotes on the m, but I need them there to execute. Tracing the flash variables passed it outputs this likefield=Model%5FProfile%2EGender%20%3D%20%27m%27

I want to make a search box within flash that searches google for 'these Words are always the same' + a 3 digit number that is defined by a text input.

Like:
myList.selectedItem.label

trace("comma found");
I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
how to take what a user inputs into a s:TextInput and use that as a variable in a JSON data request? Basically, I want to have a user enter a search term, like "math" and then have that placed into a variable so I can use it in a JSON request. Something like public var q:String, except that my search box (and hence user input) is on another "view" of the application. I've just started with Flex Mobile applications and I might be way out of my league.
View 1 RepliesI brought a pre-built shopping cart and I'm trying to put some buttons in another MC but when I click them the cart don't update.

I've got a flash course that needs to pass the current screen number from the course to the mySQL database. The person who built the back-end built a php page that I can pass the number to and it will get written to the db but I'm not sure how to "send" that in the background.He told me that I just need to call the index.php page like: [URL]So, would I use URLRequest for something like that?
Code:
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.theData = data;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.url.com/index.php/user/bookmark/"+slideNum);

I'd like to be able to generate certain data XML file through PHP based on variable that embedded in html page swf sends or request. I heard that it can be achieved by assigning FlashVars. I created a flash gallery which loads all content based on data from XML. However, I need to load a different content using the same flash gallery based in which html page the swf(gallery) is embedded. I can generate new XML through PHP if swf will send a variable to PHP which can be read as unique. I need to create a mechanism where the embedded swf send this unique variable.

Basically I am trying to send a variable from flash to php, I was trying to do it through the sendToURL function, because this seemed to be the most appropriate way to do this, although I may be wrong. Below is the AS.
var quizVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
quizVariables.party = "labour";
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(".../partyhandler.php");
myURLRequest.data = quizVariables;
sendToURL(myURLRequest);
Once this is done it should cause the following PHP to run (which works fine if I manually type in the address eg .../partyhandler.php?party=labour)
$party = $_GET['party'];
mysql_query("UPDATE party SET $party = $party+1 WHERE id=1");echo $party;
however something seems to not be working with the flash element of the code.

View 2 RepliesI have a html form and when submit is clicked, my php processes the data. At the moment its simple, just one field displayed to the screen <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>.Instead of doing this, I want to send the variable name to a swf file, and load the swf file with the name. I will use flashvars to do this. I have seen examples, and I think this one is used to display the swf onto the webpage, and pass the data to the swf.
<object width="540" height="240" title="sample">
<param name="movie" value="card.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" />
<embed src="card.swf" flashvars="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="540" height="240" ></embed>
I am not sure what it is really doing, and what I should change the value to in order for my name variable to be passed.
