ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variable From Flash To PHP Using URLRequest?
May 5, 2010
how to pass a variable from FLASH to PHP?I'm trying to upload an image through the URLRequest and pass a unique name for each file.( I want to store the name elsewhere and need flash to know the name of the file.)
Since I'm using the request.data for the ByteArray of the image, I read that I can't use the URLVariables to pass any other variables.
It is almost working, except for the filename.AS3 function calling the request and query string:
Code:
function uploadTheImage(GuidName:String):void
{
//create image
var stage_snapshot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(imgprev.width, imgprev.height);
stage_snapshot.draw(imgprev);
Could someone help me with this? I'm unclear as to why this bit of code won't work and my eyeballs are about ready to pop Is it not possible to assign a URL to a variable and then pass that variable back to the URLRequest? I'm getting two errors:1151: A conflict exists with definition movieURL in namespace internal.Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.[code]
what want to make is let people submit a URL and then show the image on the stage .. so i went an wrote my code but it doesn't work as i expected .. here is the code
var myurl:String ; // a var to load the text in it var reques:URLRequest = new URLRequest (myurl) ; // the urlrequest (i know that this only accept strings but what to do !!) var loader:Loader = new Loader(); // the loader
I am sending userID through urlRequest like below code,
[Code]...
now when new window is opening in that new swf is opening(new project) that is also in flex only.there i need to retrive userID when initailizing only how can i retrive?
I'm using AS3 to get variables from a plain text file. The variables are loaded, and assigned as a variable in Flash.
Code: var checkNew:Timer = new Timer(2000); checkNew.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, reConnect); checkNew.start();
[Code].....
So basically as you can see here, the gamertag is loaded from a plain text PHP file and converted into a variable. What I need to be able to do is tell whether or not that variable has changed (ex. 1 changed to 2).
Quite simply what should the code look like to include four URLRequest buttons in the same Actions keyframe. I'm working on a slideshow so the actions layer spans four frames. I've tried using four separate keyframes but no luck.
I'm trying to pass the file name of an image upload PHP script into Flash's UILoader component. So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application. Here's the PHP variable I'm trying to pass: $filename= ''; And here's where Flash's UILoader gets it's source (ActionScript 3.0): uiLoader.source = "freshly uploaded file.jpg ($filename)?";
I this code a setup a button that calls a url request from another variable and that works fine: var venue_www:String = "http://www....1"; var venue_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(venue_www); function venue_Click(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(venue_url); vInfo.highlight1.alpha = 1; } vInfo.venue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, venue_Click);
But later on I have a function that changes the venue_www variable among other details. But my button won't update with the new url variable. I've actually also already removed the event listener and re-added it through the script, for whatever its worth. function setInfo1() {// one for each venue if (currentVenue=="ATL") { venue_www = "http://www.....2"; }}
I have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
Then i must get values from "item1" and get them into a variable and sent it to flash. i probably will be using an array to store the values of "item1" but what can i use to create multiple param with the same name and have multiple values?
I don't really want to have any arrays like item1 = x,y,z because x,y and z are going to be html encoded, and the code of line would become enormusly confusing to read and edit.
I have a flash map I have created years ago and I've recently done an update to the file and published it. Everything works perfectly locally and online except for when I pass variables into the movie online none of the variables are recognised. Locally the file works fine and the dummy variables are passed in. But even online the dummy fall back variables don't work.There are two files the main map movie and the preloader. The preloader determines the variables that are passed into the main movie from the html embed code.HTML EMBED CODE
I am writing the codes that can pass the value from the table of database when I click on a button. When I click on the button in the first time, I send the the number of click: clickNum = 1 to the php file and I want to select the first row from the table. When I click on the button in the second time, I send the clickNum = 2 to the php file and I want to select the second row from the table, and so on. I can successfully send the clickNum in that numerical order. However, I can't pass the corresponding row of result back to the flash. For example, when I send clickNum = 1, it pass the value of the second row of table back to flash, but not the first row. And the row that it pass back to flash is different everytime, seems it is random and I can't find a pattern. The second question is that I still can't read the chinese character from the table of database even I have included the header("Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8"); in the php file.[code]
I am trying to pass a variable in Flash(MX2004) but struggling with it [code]where 'main' is a movie clip which conatins a variable called 'texts' to show the text entered in the html.
I have been reading all the post on this topic, but i just do not seem to get it! I am trying to send the variable "folder" to a flash file and get the flash file to recognize it. i am using the loadVariables() command to get the variable, but i am not sure how to process it to where i can use the variable later in the actionscript. can someone post an example script to show how to process a variable sent from php to flash?
The above carries through the affiliate ID together with Site Language which user has come to. The above works fine, what I need to now do is have my flash button call the same function...
I am trying to place a SWF on a page and pass a variable to it. The variable would depend on which link that the user clicked on. I am toggling the visibility of the div containing the SWF (code at the bottom). What I need to do is, when I toggle the div 'on' I need to pass a variable to the SWF so that it knows which file to load. Would I use SWFObject for this?Here is the HTML code on the page.
I am trying to send a twitter update when I press a button in flash. I get the twitter page to open from the flash file but when it passes the variables, it is passing it as the following into the browser address bar [URL] and on the twitter page text box it shows [URL]. The browser is rendering the percent sign and the number 20 as actual text and not as the space that I need it to.
Here is my code function onTwitterButtonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{ trace("Twitter button clicked"); var twitterShareURLPart1:String = "[URL]" var shareUrl:String = "[URL]"+youtubeVidID; var twitterShareURLPart2:String = "&text=" var escapedText1:String = encodeURIComponent("Check out this latest video from Me"); var gotoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest (twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2+escapedText1); navigateToURL(gotoURL,"_blank"); trace(twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2 + escapedText1); }
I've been having some trouble lately trying to get my flash movie to load variables being set in an aspx page, I'm new to asp and flash so I have a lot working against me.Here is the aspx onload code:

Well I just have to pass variables from flash to php then back from php to flash I've used the following sintax thousands times but now it has decided not to work any longer.
I don't get it Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I have a variable (gpDone = 1) in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file. Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
