I'm working to gain some proficiency in communicating flash and php. I recently found this nice method to feed variables from php into flash. I'm using http_build_query() function in a php file to send some variables like this:

i'm using a php file to send some data fromm db to flash via http_build_query(). The code here looks like this:

In my movie i have a link button with following, simple, function creating a link:
[Code]...
lately i've associated a class file (.as) to my movie and immediately after, when publishing the movie i got the following error message: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: URLRequest. as well as a couple of other related error messages: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method URLRequest. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL. when i remove the link to the class file, the problem goes away. also, i have checked the class file for mentioning of "URLRequest" and nothing is there.
I have the following actions in my file :
var xmlLoaderA:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoaderA.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadSomething);
xmlLoaderA.load(new URLRequest("my url"));[code]....
now imagine that the loading of the file is completed and we are in the "LoadSomething" function. How can we trace "my url" in this function? In another word I want to wite this action:
trace(Command);
and I want "my url" string in output.But I dont know what is the Command.
During development I have to test using several different hosts. It is a pain to have to change the IP address everywhere I use navigateToURL or in an mx:HTTPService. I would like to set a var with the IP... public var hostIP:String = "192.168.1.100"; Then later I instead of doing...

working my way through some tuts, and have set up WAMP. Trying to send some vars from AS3 to PHP to update a mtySQL table.My issue is that the php file does not seem to be receiving the variable info from flash, why not?
Here is the AS code
Code:
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClickSubmit)
function onClickSubmit(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var loader : URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[code]....
The PHP works cos when I run it from a browser $sd3 updates the database field to 78.This the output of the 'trace' statements
clicked
sd1=77&sd2=88&nickname=test1
The reason is probably simple but I can't see it.
I cannot ascertain why the code for one set of navigation buttons I've created works, but similar code does not. The code is rather lengthy, but I've pulled out the salient components to see if the Interwebs could help.
Here's the script that IS working:
Listener code:
Code:
cswordbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fetchcswordassets);
And the function code that goes with it:
Code:
function fetchcswordassets(e:MouseEvent):void{
var url:String = "knowntomeURL";
[Code].....
1) All of the actions are in a separate layer in the first frame;
2) There is only one scene;
3) I've given the same button a different instance name in many cases, to coincide with different expectations (URLs).
i have this code
public class TextboxXML extends Sprite
{
[...]
//XML[code]....
i want to get the xml-data. the xml will be generatet out of a php-function.testing it out of flash by "testing the movie" (apple+return), the php will be parsed and it works. when i test it on my lokal server, the same smf i mean, nothing happens.
I have an xml file which contains multiple products each with their corresponding background image, foreground image, text and website. The LoadXML class loads this xml file and creates an array of each image, text and website. The Main class then loads each image from the array of background images in the method onBackgrLoad(). This is done through the use of a for loop which loops through the array of backgrounds (called hintergrund[]) and loads each one in turn. On tracing hintergrund[] I sucessfully receive a string of all the different background image paths. However when I examine the backgrRequest and backgrLoader they both contain null. The images therefore dont appear on stage but neither does an error message appear! The same thing happens for onImageLoad (this should load the foreground image) and onTextLoad.
public class Main extends Sprite

can I make role based authorization when sending requests to an ASP.NET MVC backend system. I am calling action methods and expecting JSON results, however, some action methods are decorated with the [Authorize] attribute, others require some role privileges to be present.

View 4 RepliesTry to set the timeout for my URLRequest via

I used to have this code when I had the files implemented in the app.
PHP Code:
private function saveFile():void{var sourceFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("Content/sounds/" this.name".mp3");
[code]....
this piece of code:
PHP Code:
var mySoundReq:URLRequest= new URLRequest("samplesound.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(mySoundReq);
How does the urlrequest know where that .mp3 file is located, and how do i tell as3 where it is? and another thing: when i put this on the web, how do i locate the file then?
I'm retrieving variables from a DB via PHP via the URLRequest, and the formatting is set to variables (URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES) and matches the structure "myVarName=myValue&myOtherVarName=myOtherValue&... ".
My question is; is there a way, within Flash, to identify the variables and their values, without having to know their names?, are there methods within the loader class that allow this?, such as the variables count etc?
(I can access the variable "copyrightTxt." via the syntax: loader.data.copyrightTxt because I know its name, but I'd like something like
loader.data.variableSent[45].name = "copyrightTxt"
and
loader.data.variableSent[45].value = "@ 2009"
and
loader.data.variableCount = 98
Can I send and load variables to a php script on a different server? Hen I try I get a Error #2048: Security sandbox violation How do I get around this?
View 14 RepliesI'm figuring out a way to reload my entire SWF file from only AS3. I'm using the URLLoader and URLRequest method. When I run the SWF and execute the code, error 1009 keeps popping up
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Projectile3()[D:OliphantProjectileSimulation3Projectile3.as:1 07]
From the error, line 107 in Projectile3.as is causing the error. The line is:
var fps:int = stage.frameRate
I need to reload my flash file because as I simulate the projectile path, I also create a sprite that draw the trail of the path. I tried to remove the path using removeChild(trail) but as soon as I addChild(trail), the previous trail appears. The only way to completely remove the trail is by reloading the movie.

I am loading an image using Loader class and with URLRequest, but for some reason I am struggling to reference a file in a sub folder of the root (where the SWF is exporting to) this is local testing and I am assuming that if I refer using an absolute path on a web server it would work - but I do prefer to use relative paths for simplicity.I get the above error, but I know that the file name is correct as moving it to the same folder as the SWF works fine - but in implementation should I wish to organise hundreds of JPGs and create a gallery it would be a bit messy to store them at root level. As mentioned previously I am working on a local drive at present, and have no plans to move to a web server as this is just a test file for my own learning purposes.i have tried "folder/filename.jpg" and even on the unlikely side "folderfilename.jpg" and even further far-fetched "../rootfolder/folder/filename.jpg".The only issue is the path, I am sure of it - but the filename is correct.
