ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Send Variables To Php File And Process Them Inside Flash File
Feb 14, 2005
Im pretty new with the flash -> php -> mysql thing .. And I have made a script that sends some variables (that a user inserts in some input forms) with some var names, and then php handles it and insert it into my MySQL database its kinda ugly that a page pops up and opens the php page.So I was wonderin' if there is some way to send the variables to the php file and process them inside the flash file. without openin' some fancy browser window ?
Can i put ACTIONSCRIPT inside a xml file and make it work inside a swf?Since is not basic, where can i learn more about xml processing instructions?Other thing....Can a php file that send variables to flash WITHOUT the swf ask for it?
Let a qualified-user place a dot on a country map and this dot will be shown on the map. When other users come by they see dot's and those dot's trigger a image.
1 Create a map, duh
2 Use the mouse to get the coordinates (_x and _y position) onRelease will be the selected coordinates.
3 Create a preview-scene were the qualified user sees the placement of his dot.
4 If oke, a image upload scene is triggered (the selected _x and _y coordinates are hidden)
5 The qualified user selects a image on his computer.
6 Again a preview scene, now with the dot on the map and the selected image.
7 If oke the user sends the coordinates and image to the server (i will use php-files to upload the info and a mysql-db to store the info)
I am stuck with step 2. In the attach file you can see what i have so fare.The trace messages are the data i want to send to a php script. And think i must create an array in flash something like:
Code: coords = new array(); for (i=0;i<=v;i++)[code]...
You gotta see the attach .fla to understand this. I have the values collected in "controller" movieClip.
I've searched everywhere, but can't find one thread/result that suits my situation.I'm trying to post data into a database, through php. I don't want to reload the page, so I want this to happen through Flash. I thought about using the LoadVars() class, but it just simply isn't working.How would I about doing this? Say I have three variables, blah1, blah2, and blah3, all of which are strings. How do I send these variables to a php page with the POST method?
I'm trying to create a file that shows data from a database depending on an id number the user inputs in Flash. I am having trouble sending to PHP the id so it sends back the appropriate data from the db.
This is the AS3 code that tries to send the value of the idNumber to PHP[code]...
I'm pretty inexperienced with actionscript, and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to load variables from a file and send it to a dynamic text box. The content of an external file, "varload.txt", is "name1=John". Here is actionscript of my flash file:
I have the livedocs wide open and I still can't figure out how to send off multiple variables in an object (from a class) to the FLA file...[URL] The setup: I have a class that extends EventDispatcher. I created an Object called _pass, public var _pass:Object;. In my last function (everything is cool up until now), I have four variables that need to be passed to the main fla. Let's say they're param1, param2, param3, param4.
It was explained to me that I could use the public var _pass:Object; by first creating an instance of the object like so, _pass = { param1, param2, param3, param4 }; (each param is available in the function). Having setup an object instance, I could then dispatch the object to read from within my fla: dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));.
But I get these errors:
1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before comma. 1083: Syntax error: rightbrace is unexpected.
As the livedocs show, you can use an associative array (with braces and a colon), but I don't need that. I just need to pass my variables that are pre-made to the FLA.
I need to find a way to detect keystrokes when the flash file is not selected and send that information to an .swf file. The file would be stored locally (not on the internet).
I've got twenty .swf files and respectively .as extensions of them. In each file there's my e-mail, but I don't have access to that e-mail anymore, so I want to edit each file to remove it. Is there any way I can change my e-mail in twenty files and compile them afterwards in an automate process via some script ?
how to pass variables from one Movie clip's AS file to my Main AS file. Let say my Movieclip's AS file is calling damage = 1; so how the Main AS file retrieve the damage value from the Movieclip's AS?
Code: public class robotMC extends MovieClip { public function robotMC() {
i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial [URL] that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?

I am looking for utility/helper classes for Adobe AIR/actionscript 3.0 file system and native process utilization. Could someone point me to opensource library projects specific to Adobe AIR..
I am trying to send a function to my SWF file via a HTML file, and every browser works fine except for Internet Explorer.The test file is supposed to animate the graph when you mouse over the word click, and come to a halt upon mousing off of it.Here is the example URL:[URL]
*** begin *** <script type="text/javascript"> function sendToActionScript(str) { document["accelachart"].sendToActionScript(str); }</script> <a href = "#" onmouseover="sendToActionScript('fast')" onmouseout="sendToActionScript('slow')">click</a>
[code]....
Like I said before, it works on all browsers I tested (Chrome, FireFox, Safari) except for IE (7 or 8).
I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release){ getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");} In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this : <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
Used the following code in a real life demo. I clicked the button, SaveAs dialog displayed, I chose to say the file in the Documents folder.Went to open the file, and got a message saying it was in use with another process. Restarted my computer, was now able to open the file. However the file is empty. It should have some text that I put in there - how can text vanish from a file? By simple downloading it.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.

Is it possible to just create a .AS file and define constants inside of that file? Without making a new class, just so that all my classes can access these constants? This is of course possible in PHP, but are the scopes handled differently in AS3?
I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0. Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following code snippet in main.swf file as shown below:
var textLdr:Loader=new Loader(); var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf"; var noteUrlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(noteUrl); textLdr.load(noteUrlReq); addChild(textLdr);
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.Note: Here data represents values/data stored in variables/objects of main.swf file.
The navigation on a website I am designing is an swf file embedded inside another swf file, the latter being the body of the site. The navigation buttons are themselves embedded inside movie clips inside the embedded swf file...
I'm sure I'm missing some sort of line of programming, however my actionscript skills are rudimentary at best. I have assigned a simple goto webpage behavior on each of the buttons. However, when I look at the site all put together, they do not work.
via an SWF file, what request type would "http://url-to-my/json.script" receive. It doesn't seem to be a "xmlhttprequest". Is it the same as a request from a browser?
i build ed simple single threaded web server that i embedded to my application in Qt c++ this server are responding fine with simple html pages , but when i try to response with flash file embedded inside the html all the html string just got printed to the browser my question is what headers and http responses do i need to unable me to serve flash content to the browser
I have a database file I need to send to a PHP controller for synchronization. I can access the standard file upload methods in AS3 but they all require user interaction. I need this take place behind the scenes.
