ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Data To Display Input From Flash In PHP
Jul 30, 2009
I'm currently working on a flash combobox and text field passing data to php to display the input from flash. It require using query string method. I'm stuck on the query string code. My as3 has nothing wrong, I just don't know whats going on the php is not catching my data for display.
The php I'm targeting looks like this:
<?php $current_page_num = 1;
require_once 'dir/php.php';
$use_GET = $_GET[ 'use' ];
if ( $use_GET ) {
$timestamp = $use_GET;
[Code] .....
I've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
I have a swf (swf#1) with links to another swf (swf #2). I would like use GET to pass data out of swf #1 to a PHP page that will be holding swf #2. I want swf #2 to start at a specific frame based on the data passed from swf #1.
I want to get image data from php and also display in flash. I want to know... how to read and display imagejpeg( $imgData ); from php. I am able to get php data in flash through below method...
Goal: To build an Internet Mapping Site (IMS) using FlashScenario: Using Manifold GIS for the backend. It is a full scale GIS software which easily outputs data (geometry and tabular) into xml. It has built in IMS capabilities, but theWould like to build an IMS using Flash as the front end, and Manifold as backend. How would I set up something where the GUI and display were Flash, the user interacts with the Flash (Pan, Zoom, Selection, Query(SQL)), have Flash fetch that from Manifold via xml, and display the new extent, query results, etc.?
So there would need to be geometry data retrieval and display as well as tabular. For example the user should be able to use a "Zoom by Extent" feature where they draw a rectangle on the map, it returns the coordinates of the box to Manifold, Manifold returns it, etc. On the other hand they need to be able to query the datasets (simple sql queries).I hope this makes some sense. I'm a noob in many aspects to backend so I'm just trying to get a handle on whether this is possible, and what backend needs to be implemented in order to make this happen? Would you know of a possilble better method? Silverlight, etc?
I have created the MainMovieClip and Scrollbar as follow ....
my problem is that when I input japanese characters,the characters display at the top corner of the swf until I confirm the input. if I install FlashPlayer "flashplayer10_1_rc2_plugin_041910", then the japanese characters display in the textfield normally....why is that???
with flash player 10.0, I can't input the japanese characters in the textfield.
var mcMain:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcMain", this.getNextHighestDepth()); scrp.contentPath = "scrollMovieClip";
So i a building a categorized menu of different foods. I have a class for "categories" (buttons) which essentially will return a string "salads", "drinks", etc. I now have another class "menuItems" for items within categories and this handles sizes such as "small", "med", "large", etc. My problem now is that when i return "salads", i want to invoke an array which contains all the elements of salads, send it to menuItems which will populate the menu. So far i have both the category objects and the menu object setup. I just cant seem to be able to send the data that the category object is returning and pass it to the menu object. Both of which are added to the stage as shown below:
If there was a way that i could say add all these classes to one class so that they can talk to each other that would be great but i dont know how to do this.
I had this problem (Error: addChild() is not available in this class. Instead, use addElement() or modify the skin, if you have one.) and I followed the recommended solution:
// container ( IVisualElement ) for DisplayObjects var container:UIComponent = new UIComponent(); addElement( container );
[Code].....
What I need to be able to do, is get the string Locale to be read by the Child swf.
I am working on creating a basic message board for my website and I am having difficulty getting things to pass from Flash to Database to Flash. I just checked out the tutorial on this site that shows how to go from Flash to Database. Which is awesome by the way. I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to get the database data back into flash and post in a message board style. In another related note. Through a form set
This is the edit to my question. There is quite a bit of code here, but the problem area is below the second set of three line comments. I stuck the rest in just in case I'm completely wrong about where the problem is. With the "if" statement I can display fine in a run, but not in debug. If I get rid of the conditional it runs fine in debug, but not in a regular run. These errors only occur on the first run of the quiz. In either mode it runs fine fi I take a second quiz.

is it possible to pass a parameter to flash from html together with the call of the .swf file? In the .swf I play different slide shows. The paramter I need, to know which slide show to start.

If I want to pass form data from html to flash, do I have to use a server side script from php, asp, cgi, etc?If so, what would go in the FORM action? (FORM action="??" id=form method=post name=form>)
I'm trying to pass a string variable with custom event and having a problem retrieveing the string when the event is handled. The event fires OK, and I can trace the string in the Event, but it returns "undefined" in the event handler. I'm hoping it's just a typo or something, but it's got me stumped. Below is my Event code and the handler code. [code]
I'm working on an interactive quiz where the user's responses will be incremented to a poll in a CMS. I have a url that automatically increments the answer choice in a poll, so I would like to use sendToURL to call the url without actually passing any data or variables. It seems to work with navigateToURL, but that opens a blank window in the browser
Here is the navigateToURL code that increments the poll successfully, but opens the unwanted browser window
var url:String = "URL GOES HERE"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try {
[Code]....
I tried replacing "navigateToURL" in the first option to sendToURL and it wasn't incrementing the poll.
I'm trying to do a Christmas Calendar in Flash. I'm using buttons for the 24 days, that I want to activate depending on the date. Since I can't count on clientcomputers having the correct date set I want to use the date from the server and pass it into Flash. Now I found out on the Macromedia website, that you can use FlashVars as a ActiveX Parameter to pass values into Flash. So far so good. How do i address the variable in Flash then? Using a syntax like this PHPode:FlashVars="datum=DAY_OF_MONTH" //DAY_OF_MONTH holds the date I get from the serverin my html file, that's calling the .swf I should be able to simply use datum as a variable in Flash. However that doesn't seem to work
Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
I created a Contact Form with Flash 4 on a website: [URL]. When I fill out the form in the "Contatti" TAB (contacts) and click on "invia" (submit) the email browser opens correctly (Entourage) but the text in the site form does not appear in it.
I'm trying to take a variable from a php page and send it to flash to then use in a link.I'm having problems just selecting ONE variable from the print function, the code will help explain:
It collects all the data fine but it does not print it out correctly, it prints out all the variables in the php in one link. For example: If i click the facebook icon, i will be taken to http:[url].... This also happens with the other icons (Youtube and Twitter).
I'm able to record sound with a Flash application embedded in my website, this audio is saved to a ByteArray, which I need to pass to Javascript in order to post to my server along with other required data.
I know I can use AS3 ExternalInterface class to communicate with Flash from Javascript, but what would be the appropriate format or variable type in javascript to hold the ByteArray, and how can I ensure that I won't lose much audio data when doing so?
I have a SplitViewNavigator with two split views. In one of the views I have a list and in another one I have questions. User must solve the question and when user click send button, he will see another question.

I want to pass a value from an input form to a function. The sample attached tries to change a movie clip's x and y position based on values in the form input fields; theClip, xDist, yDist. When I hard code it, the function receives the values and works, but when I give it variable names referring to the fomr fields, I get nothing.
