ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing String Data Out Into HTML Form?
Dec 10, 2010
The app is basically a small product catalog, depending on the choices made within the app I need to feed that data as a string into a text field in a html form that the app will redirect to when a submit button is pressedMy knowledge of AS3 is pretty limited and I'm learning it on the fly and I've really no idea how to accomplish this.Somebody said I should use the ExternalInterface function but I've really no idea how to do it and on reading the flash help file it seems that ExternalInterface communicates with the html page in which the .swf is located, whereas I need it to pass data to another html page and then load that page.
For instance say I have a html page called forms.html and that page has a textfield with the ID: FlashOutput and Label: Your Order, I have a string of data and a submit button that redirects to the URL form.html how do I pass my data string to the textfield within that html page?
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 have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:
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'm trying to pass a string of text out to a html web form. Something I've never done before.
Tadster suggested I use something like this:

The movie runs fine and shows no errors, but when my browser opens forms.html the data is not there. I assume this is because I'm using navigateToURL(new URLRequest("form.html) and therefore opening a new instance of form.html rather than the one I've already loaded into flash. Am I right? and if so how do I open the pre-loaded version? Or....am I way off and have failed to understand something quite basic?
An AIR application that load an html page which contain some forms. I want to pass values from flash to html and then submit data. Don't suggest other possible variants, i have experience using URLLoader, amfphp, blazeds e.t.c. Idea it's to pass that from flash to html form, and then submit that information to server using html page. How can be do that? Or maybe in an web application (not desktop)?
I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
I hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have built a video player in ActionScript 3.0 which consists of a FLA file which has the video player on it and a separate AS file that contains all my ActionScript 3.0 code for the video player. I have moves (FLV & MP4 files) stored on my Flash Media Server 3.0 server. If I hard code the name of the movie in the AS file and publish the FLA file, it creates an SWF file that will actually play the movie on the FMS3 server. That lets me know the video player works.
I have a scenario that I get an string with html data, this is not just html data it's an email (outlook) saved as an html file and dropped in the string.Now this string needs to be formatted to an html document and should be a clickable link in a datagrid. So when I click on the link, the HTML document should pop-up and should gave me a nice HTML page that is readable for the normal users. I hope it's a bit clear what I want o_0. don't know where to start.

How to store the data text in Access databases using flash form and to search into the database.

I currently have a login form in flash that needs to pass variables to a PHP script. That part works fine. The problem I am having is that when Flash passes the variables to PHP, it also passes the style of the input text.
For example, instead of passing "atomstore", it passes "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">atomstore</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>".
This does not match the "atomstore" in the database and results in an error. How to get rid of all of these tags?
I have a question. How do you pass variables from flash to php? What I wanna do is, get the username and password entered in this form made in flash, when the submit button is hit, it will open and send these variables to login_processor.php. If the info is put in correctly, it will take them to a different page. The login_processor.pgp works for html form, but not for flash. In flash I have two input texts, and I gave them each their own var names.
I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

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 made a login form using flash and made it pass it's variable to php for validation. I have two (2) variables from my php file that I want to pass to flash so it can control my movie. When I pass those two (2) variables, the first one has no problem. My dynamic textfield displays the value that the php sends but when I pass the second variable from my php to flash and displays it in my other dynamic text field, it displays the value but it appears to have html tags i.e., 1<br /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: userLoggedIn in <b>C:wampwwwestfernwoodestDisplayClients.php </b> on line <b>83</b><br />. The value of my variable from php is 1 and as you can see, it contains html tags. How can I remove these tags?
Okay, there is something that I don't quite understand. I built a flash contact form in Flash CS4 and embedded the swf in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I upload the files in my server but why it's not working? I created a test folder in my folder and it does work... (It doesn't work here) [URL] The problem is that I'm not receiving the information when the user enters and submits the information on the contact form. I do receive the information on the test link. I'm posting the Flash AS and PHP Code to see if anyone can point out any mistake that I'm doing.

I'm working on an adventure game and I need to find a way to pass the next MovieClip name to the function that loads it in the main timeline.
ActionScript Code: Bowl_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BowlClick); function BowlClick(evt:MouseEvent){ var nextMovie:String = "nameOfNextMovie"; this.parent.parent newMovieLoader (nextMovie); }
This is all good but I can't find a way to use the nextMovie parameter in the function and load a movie from the library. I hope you can understand my explanation..
