ActionScript 3.0 :: Send Both Bytearray And Form Data?
May 11, 2010
I'm currently working on a small project. The user is supposed to draw/do a puzzle within flash, and also fill out a form with his details and comments.
When clicking the send-button, the image should be sent along with the form as an email.
I already know how to send the image as an email via php, and I know how to send a form as an email via php, BUT - I can't seem to do it together.
I've googled a bit and I found out that I cannot pass both the bytearray (from the image) and the form-data as URLVariables at the same time.
One way I got it to work is by passing the values from the form-data as a part of the URLRequest (and then use $_GET in the .php-file), but this has limitations as it can only pass 100 characters. As the user should be able to comment on his work, using GET with its limitations isn't an option.
Im creating flash game that have the functionality to capture/record its gameplay that can be viewed later by the user, like a replay.
As for now Im already able to record the game and write it into a flv format in a ByteArray variable.
What Im working right now is how to send that ByteArray(the video file) to a php script and save it to a web server.
I've run into the URLLoader in flash where it can send the data and php will receive it thru the POST method. Unfortunately, the ByteArray containing the flv data must be first correclty encoded for php to read it. I figured this out from the example in the net where it does the same thing only that it is only sending a JPEG ByteArray instead of a FLV format using the JPEGENCODER.
Is there any existing class like the JpegEncoder for FLV format or any Video formats? Or any work around like creating the encoder my self?
here is my current code to send the ByteArray
//send byteArray to a php script var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
I have an AS3 swf which users can upload jpg images to my EC2 instances which sit behind and Elastic Load Balancer. The jpg images are converted into bytearray data and sent using URLLoader.load(URLRequest)I make 2 calls when uploading, one to upload a large version, then another to upload a thumbnail version. A PHP script to which the bytearray data is uploaded converts this to a file using file_put_contents($destination,$GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])Is it possible to combine these two requests into a single request which contains both the bytearray data for the large and thumbnail images and 'split' the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA to create 2 files at the server. This would be better than uploading the bytearray for the large version then using something like ImageMagick to resize the resulting image into a thumbnail which I realise is another option.
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 have a flash form that sends a monthly report that users fill out to a php file, which sends it to a MS SQL database. This issue I am having is that anything larger then 1300 characters entered into the flash form will not work at all. If I reduce the amount of text to 1300 characters or less, it will send it to the php and database just fine. My research shows that a flash variable should be able to handle 65,000 characters, and when I trace my output from flash to php, all of the data is being traced. however, it is not being send to php. I am using LoadVars to send the data with _GET. So is this a php issue, or a flash issue? I ran a php info page and my max_post is set to 10M that should be enough to handle this load. I am not sure why it is not working with anything larger then 1300 characters. Below is my code for my php and flash files.
The variables that are affected by this are the testEvlauation, projects, support, and programManagement variables. I need them to send at least 8000 characters a peice to the php file.
Flash Code:
on (release) { sendData = new LoadVars(); sendData.contractor = contractor.text; sendData.name = name.text;
I have a page on my website that allows users to download some files using filereference. When the user clicks on the button to start the download, I want to pass the name of the button (the name of the file they are downloading) to a php script to put in my database, so I have a record of who download what.
I have no problems passing normal form data to php using the loadvariables, but since I want to send info that is not an input text box, I have no idea how to go about doing this.
I have a flash form (widget) on a website that the user can enter details (or select them from drop down menus).
There is then a submit button at the bottom.
This is quite primitive, and as far as my flash allows me. The bit I am stuck with is that I need to send the data then to a .PHP file that will then forward this to the correct people (this bit is already done for me).
sending this information (e.g. Phone Number, Country, Language etc) to the .PHP file.
I am trying to send data filled out in a form in my flash movie to send mail using CFMAIL. In my form that is in Flash I have variables set. Then when the button is pressed loadVariables("sendMail.cfm", "POST");
The form is in a component lauched as a popUp, form data consists in:
login:String password:String
I thought of a few different ways, but I don't like them..in the popUp, send button triggers a function that gets the form values and stores them in an Object, then saves the Object in the model, then dispatches a CreateSessionEvent. The CreateSessionCommand execute method is called, and it send the HTTPService passing the object from the model. (but then what if the model somehow doesn't get update and I send the same request twice?) I could try to get the form data from the command execute method itself.. how can I access them though, since it is a popUp (created with PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, LoginDialog),true))
I'd love to see an example flex+rail with restful xml application by the way, know of any?
What I am wanting to do is create a "registration form" and send the form data to a MySQL Database. Once the user submits the form, a password is created and emailed to the user.
Then once all has been created and stored, the user can log in and gain access to secure pages.
I have an .SWF that is a "Share With A Friend" and the text fields are filled in and then the SWF sends the variables to sendToFriend.php and then the email is sent out.. The PHP is working fine and I have all the right codes to send that information from the SWF to to PHP, but the client wants another feature I can't figure out..
They want me to grab data from an XML and use those variables as well, because the XML will have the USER EMAIL and I need to grab the specific data from the XML and I can't find anything that does this..
I barely know where to start. Maybe a simple tutorial that doesn't just load the XML and display the content (I have found that), but rather something that loads the XML, then refers to a specific child and turns the text to a variable to get sent to PHP..
EXAMPLE XML
<client>Joe</client> <email>JOE@JOE.com</client>
How do I load the XML and directly refer to the <email> information so my PHP file can grab "JOE@JOE.com" ???
I am trying to create a simple form using Actionscript 3 that will collect data from a form, then pass that data to an asp file. I have attached the following code to the submit button,but this is not working.I'm not sure if I have to add anything else and I don't understand why this is not working. I'm trying to load all the variable info into one variable called email form.
submit_btn.onRelease = function() { var emailform:text; emailform.email_txt = email_txt.text;[code]......
I was following 1 of the flash tutorials about creating a flash form and using .php to send the form to myself.I've followed all the instructions but upon uploading, the file just doesn't seem to work. I hope to have some kind of form in my new website.
So I have a video that plays stream from a webcam,I will click a button and take a picture. I encode that picture using JPEGEncoder then I store it in a ByteArray.How do I send that data over to either a javascript function or a java class?I don't want to use the navigateToURL (URLRequest) method because that will redirect my page.Is there a way to send the data to a function while still staying on the same page?For example, make a asynchronous call to a javascript function or java method?
I would like to use Flash to send a ByteArray (of a PNG image) to a php file, in a facebook application. Is there a way to do this by sending the ByteArray as just one POST variable instead of as the entirety of the POST data?
There was a nearly identical question here: How can I send a ByteArray (from Flash) and some form data to php? but the problem is different; instead of smuggling other variables in other parts of the request, the image itself has to be sent as just a variable because Facebook commandeers the post data and puts in its own junk.
If not, can I send the image in some form other than a byteArray?
I'm working on a Flash tool that needs to send some data in the form of a flash.utils.ByteArray instance to PHP (amfphp service class) and get that data back from the amfphp service as flash.utils.ByteArray instance. Now I can do all of these with the php_amf extension enabled on the local WAMP server. And the tool works fine. But how can I achieve this without the php_amf extension? I'm deploying on a shared hosting server and I don't have access to the php.ini and also the dl() function of PHP is disabled for security reason. With the extension disabled, I can send the ByteArray instance to PHP and save the data to DB. But the problem arises when I try to retrieve the data from DB, create a ByteArray instance (amfphp helper class) with the data and send back to Flash. I'm guessing here that proper AMF message is not being constructed because of the absence of the php_amf extension.
I am trying to create an email form in Flash 8 that sends mail to my hosting account email address. GoDaddy says that you have to use their coding, but how do I get this to work with Flash 8?Can anyone give me a hand? Below is a link to GoDaddy's write up on creating a PHP form-mailer.URL...
Now i am doing one flash with actionscript project. It,s one real game with fun project.But problem is i am using JSP for server side and front end is flash with actionscript.My problem is how to send flash values to jsp and then stored to database.I serch lot of websites i cannot founf it anywhere
i have about 10 fields most input text boxes and then about 4 check boxes...i have no clue how to use as3 and php together to send the form info to an email.
Had a customer purchase a template, customized it to suite their needs only thing was it has a built in email part to the flash which came with no php script ....and for the life of me I cannot get it to work properly, [url]if you go to the contacts page you will see the form I am referring to. If any one here who knows the php and action scripting well, please give this a look see. I cannot get it to send mail, clear button works fine, send button just does absolutely nothing, sits there and looks pretty.I have tried 4 different action scripts with this thing and am at my wits end.
How would I gather the same information that's possible in an HTML form? For instance, I would like to get the IP of the sender, such as:<input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_USER, HTTP_USER_AGENT">I've been getting so much spam from my Flash site, I have to figure this out.
I made a form in flash to send a mail to an emailaddress, when I export the .fla to .swf, then it works correctly. But when I insert that .swf in a .html-document and run this in a browser, it won't work! What could be the reason?
Flash MX Pro 2004: var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); verzenden.onRelease = function() { senderLoad.bedrijf = bedrijf.text; senderLoad.emailadres = emailadres.text; [Code] .....
I have a contact form and i have a little problem when it comes to send a mail. I have the string message saying that the message has been sent but the receiver just get an empty message, empty email address from the sender etc... in other words the mail get send but it is empty.
I am trying to get down to the bottom of my problem with a contact form I'm using for a client. My code is as follows:
[code]...
The issue I'm having is that when I hit the submit button on my form, it doesn't send the information through. It just stays stuck on sending.... and doesn't send any information. I then ran a test with an even simpler code:Just to see if it was even connecting and I recieved this error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "127.0.0.1" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in
D:hostingmembershieldvhmmailtest.php on line 2
Now I don't have access to the host server because I'm not the owner. I just designed the site for the client and I have been having these issues with the form. I did test it on my server and everything worked fine which led me to believe that the problem lies in the php settings of their host server. I contacted the host server and this is what they sent me: "Dear client, 127.0.0.1 is localhost which you cannot use to send email. Please make use of your mail server to and send and provide SMTP authentication to the remote server. Note that the FROM address has to be the same as login email.
