ActionScript 3.0 :: Sending Data From JavaScript To Flash
Jan 14, 2010
I've got a piece of JavaScript code in an HTML file which detects the height and width of the browser. What I'd like to do is pass the height and width values to Flash. I've followed the Adobe documentation for this using the ExternalInterface class but can't get it to work. For some reason the sendDataToFlash(); function in my JS isn't being called. Here's my code (NB. I'm only trying to pass the height value at the moment as a test):
HTML file with JS:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript">
</script><script type="text/javascript">
var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
function getDimensions() {
if( typeof( window.innerWidth
[Code] .....
I have a ColdFusion function which sends analytics called from a Flex sendPageAnalytics() function to a SQL database when the user navigates - this works perfectly.What I am trying to do is have the Flex application send a bunch of analytics when the user closes their browser, therefore providing information about the last navigation.
I have used an ExternalInterface callback and listener for window.onbeforeunload and a trace statement tells me that this is working fine.My problem is that when all bundled together, I get as far as tracing out that the sendPageAnalytics() function has been called, but I do not get a sendPageAnalyticsFaultHandler() trace or a sendPageAnalyticsResultHandler() trace, which I do on every other sendPageAnalytics() call.
I'm wondering if its possible to do what I'm thinking, and if it is possible, does anyone know of a flash object that does what I need? I know a Flash object can provide a javascript API to interact with it, what I dont know is can Flash send an email directly without the need to talk to the webserver to do so? If thats possible would it not be possible to write a flash object that did nothing but provide an API to send emails? Has such a thing been created that is out there for others to use?
I'm looking to create a email form on a web page but the site is static (no server scripting). In my situation server scripting is not possible as there is no server, the site is 100% client side on a CD/DVD/USB Stick.
I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).
I have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is supposed to be able to receive data from Flash.
I am having many websites . In that I have to send some parameters from php to flash. All the parameters are getting correctly displayed in flash except the currency symbol. These currency symbols are extracted from db to php in form of html entities like(& pound;). I can't change the db as it will require many changes in all websites of mine. I have used rawurlencode in php before sending to flash but in flash it gets displayed as & pound; in flash. I have given space between "&" and "pound;" so it is not converted to symbol in the post . In db it is correctly entered with no space. Previously , I was sending directly by writing the object tag in php file and and writing the parameters in params tag withing object tag. It was working perfectly fine . Now I have start using swfobject.js javascript library of hosted by google for embedding the flash content. Now its not working ( currency symbol is not getting displayed instead it html entity unicode shown above is getting displayed.) . I can't change the flash files also. I have to handle it from php or javascript code only.
In our application we have an embedded Flash control (in a HTML file in our Browser control) that shows some games. I looking for some way to call / notify this Flash control from C++ or JavaScript when some events are happening outside of it in order to display something / set it's internal values.
how (if possible) this could be acheived? I think there is an option to call JavaScript from C++ and then JavaScript call Flash, but that's looks a bit tricky to me. is there is a way to "call" the Flash control "directly" or send a message to it.
I am having trouble on sending my data to the php..I am using flash cs 3 and the code is what I copied from a site. here's the code.[code]I pasted this code to the button named 'submit' and when I checked the script for errors, my script has an error! it says:Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler and I don't know what does it mean I am just newbie in flash cs 3.
how to send data from a flash to a database and how the receive it aswell. Im presuming you pass the data from the flash to a php file to the database when sending and call the data using a php file to the database aswell. What im trying to do is just have a button that will increment a number in a database by 1 and then display that information on a different Frame within the flash later.
Basically what i want to do if have a button pressed to increment a number in a database.
If i send bitmap data from Flash AS3, to PHP and then PHP turns the bitmap data into a image file and saves on server... Would it take too much resources?I mean, The Bitmap Data could contain too much pixels etc does that affect the resources? If 10-100 people send data simultaneously is it going to cause problems.
I am making a flash sign up form that sends the input data to ASP then to the database. In flash I have put input text boxes with variables like email and username etc. Now on my ASP page I have:
But its just not getting from ASP to the database. It might be that the ASP is not reading the flash input areas right. Heres the code for sending the data to ASP
Code: loadVariables("signup.asp", [POST]);
It just doesnt work I have tried for hours but nothing happens
I have two text fields. One is named txtFoo and the other is txtBar. They have numbers in them. When I click the btnSubmit I want the txtFoo.text and txtBar.text to be sent to a php file. Below is my code:
Code: var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables; var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest("myURL.cgi"); varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST; varSend.data=variables; var varLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
I had someone who had compiled my flash site as I have three forms integrated into my flash website [URL] on the left side you see a "Refinance", "Purchase", and "Loss Mitigation" but I had to do some edits on it and someone else had to work on it and the original person I can't get in contact with and I didn't have the original FLA file so something happens when someone fills out any of the forms to the left....no data is sent! I receive the email but it is blank! I have several flash forms I downloaded to see how I would get the script to go but I can't seem to figure it out!
The current script on my flash is super super long...(i'm sure a lot of nonsense coding in it)
I am looking for some advice on creating a flash sound game. The visuals are all done as is the animation. I am trying to create a piano, that you can play a tune, somehow (when pressing down a button) 'record' the sound and once you have finished, send the link to the sound you have created to a friend, where it can be played back when they visit the website and see what you did.
I know this is frequently asked, but I have looked all over the internet to find the mistake I'm making with the code I've used to send and receive data from AS3 to PHP and viceversa.Can you find the mistake? Here is my code:
so i managed to get data from mysql through php through xml and output it in flash by dynamic textfield. So i got a value from mysql, an integer, modified it with flash using commands, and want to send it to php and overwrite the old integer and save
I'm working on creating a flash form that sends data to the DB. I was successfull in creating the page that can send the data to the DB but I'm not able to figure out a way to write the actionscript where the thanks message frame loads after we submit the data. As of now... when I submit it goes to the .asp page that I created to POST the data to the DB.
We have an interactive with about 30 buttons. The reader is asked to choose among the buttons, each of which change a chart that shows the California Budget Deficit. In other words the reader is reducing the said deficit by clicking a button which then "defunds a program" and changes the main chart. When the reader clicks a button we have a dynamic text field (for each button) that registers that that button has been clicked. At the end the reader is invited to submit his choices, that is, which buttons have been clicked.What we would like to do is have each submission emailed to us so we could do a breakdown of how the readers chose to reduce the budget.Is there ANY WAY to take the contents of a series of dynamic text fields and have them automatically appear in an email that the reader could send to us? Or are we doomed to construct a database?
I have a developed a application that allows users to draw simple images on a canvas. The name of the movieclip(canvas) is canvas_mc.
I need to save this drawing on the server using php. I have to convert the movieclip (canvas_mc) into png and jpeg and save it. I have successfully save it on local drive using some classes available in
[URL]
How can I save it on server using PHP. I have been asked to use the post method. If possible give me the code also as I just moved into programming from design :-)
I'm having an issue sending a huge (~4MB) block of data from flash, to my java servlet, currently I'm transferring the data using URLVariables, however it seems there's a limit to this (because it seems to work, with smaller data blocks), how do I suppress this limit, or in any other way, get my data to my servlet.My flash code so far:
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.name = name_string; //Plenty of these small attributes variables.data = data_string; //And the huge BLOB
Is there any way to send data back to flash after using a FileReference upload? Basically I'm uploading an image and I want my PHP script to return some information back to flash after the upload.
I have a flash form with input text fields. I am sending the data to a 3rd party server. I can send the information via getURL but I want to send the data without opening a browser window so I am utilizing sendAndLoad. It works great locally but not through a browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I have verified that all the variables and urls are in the correct case, I have tried both Post and Get, I have tried network and local..
Here is the file - click on the second image...[URL] Here is the code... on (release) { if (first_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** First Name Required **"; } else if (last_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** Last Name Required **"; [Code] .....
sent form data in Flash to a PHP script before and then read in a variable (say a user id) that gets passed back by the PHP. simple enough.but if the script passes back XML, how do i read that in?elow is the code i've used to send PHP a name and an email address and get back a userid, but i'm not sure how to go about writing the code if the script is passing flash a chunk of XML instead?
ActionScript Code: var userRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("saveUser.php"); var userLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
I am writing a simple Tcp server in Unity and have my Flash application connects to it.I found a great tutorial on threaded Tcp server online, and my flash app connects to it nicely. However, I am not able to send data outside of the listening thread to the connected client. I tried to create a global reference of the Tcpclient obtained inside of the thread. However, that reference (sclient) only works inside of the listening thread, printed Null to console outside of the thread. There must be something I can do to retain the TCP client reference for later use or access it from outside of block thread.
I'd like to enable the user to enter several parameters within the flash plugin. These influence the flash movie. The flash file itself works perfectly fine. But now I also want to access and process these parameters on a Javascript function.
I tried the external.Interface and navigatetoURL method but couldnt achieve the required result. (The 'link' between flash and javascript doesn't seem to work...)
So how / which is the best way to transfer parameters from AS3 to Javascript on the server ?
