Data Integration :: LoadVars-using Send To Pass A Variable From Flash To Php
Mar 24, 2008
For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)
My goal with this simple app is to prototype being able to pass a variable from flash to a variable in php.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in flash_to_SQL.php on line 5
Actionscript 2.0 code:
var c :LoadVars = new LoadVars();
c.testing = "123FOUR";
c.send ("

I would like to send data from PHP to Flash however, it sends just fine but when displaying on Flash, it does not display the contents in the variable. Instead, it displays the name of the variable. This may be a simple answer but I'm quite new to this. Here is the code in Flash.

There seems to be a problem with Firefox 2.x sending variables to PHP scripts with the LoadVars.send/POST method.

The same problem doesn't occur in IE or Opera. <br>See this url for example to try in both FF and IE/Opera: here. <br>The source files are here g.zelenka@iinet.net.au

this liveDoc covers getting a url variable into flash:http:/[url]....you can pass data to a flash movie by doing the following:[url]....this will create a variable: _level0. variablename with the data: thisisthedata.so far so good.you can then embed this in the published html doc by including your data string in the object/embed tags.like so:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

I am having problems with loadVars over https. What I am trying to do is sending credit card information from a flash store to a PHP-script on a server over https, and the PHP-script should return a reply. (So I am using the LoadVars sendAndLoad command). The problem is that the reply I get from the script is empty. If I try the same over http, it works fine.

Im having a bit of trouble integrating dynamic variables pulled from a databse using an ASP script with a flash movie.
Background:
I need to send variables stored in a ms sql db to a flash movie to display several values.
The dyanmic element comes in because i am using an ID to select the values from the db e.g id1 = joe bloggs id2 = paul smith
etc
When i am hardcoding the id in the asp script the variables are sent to the flash movie no probs and they display correctly.
I am also printing the asp code on the page and that all displaying fine.
HOWEVER, the issue arises when i make the asp code dynamic and by that i mean I am using request.querystring to pull the id
from the URL - The print out of the asp code is still displaying the correct variables, BUT they are not being passed to the
flash movie at all - the placeholder is blank there isn't event an error!!.
Couple of things to note -
- if you change the id bit of the url in the dynamic script to the printed asp code changes
- THE FLASH MOVIE IS IDENTIAL in both scenarios
- all variable names have remained the same
- it is NOT a location of file issue as we have tested the dynamic code files In another folder and no joy
- we are not using any other file includes or asp code in any of the page - all other code has been stripped out
THE ISSUE WE HAVE IS THAT THE PRINTED VARIABLES ARE NOT BEING PASSED TO THE FLASH MOBIE in scenario 2 where the asp code is looking for the participant id dynamically (i.e from the URL)

I have an application that reads a PHP script and populates the Flash applets using the following on frame 1:
[Code]...
A combobox (created with the returned data) is created on frame 61. When a selection is chosen in the combobox I need to add the value returned from the combobox to the variable catvar, add this variable to the LoadVars object and run the script again. It seems to set c.catvar initially but when I use the 'sendAndLoad command the second time c.catvar isn't included. Is it possible to add variables to a LoadVars object created
on frame 1 from frame 61?

Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.

I am using FMS 4.5 and have a simple application which I want to use to send two strings to a php file. But I get a compilation error whenever I try to assign any value to these objects:
Here is main.asc:
<code>
var variables = new LoadVars();
variables.username = "uname";
variables.send(http://url.abc.com/test.php,POST)
</code>
I can't compile with the second line. FMS just says: Sending error message: Compilation error
How do I send variables to a HTTP URL?

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:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

I know how to pass vars from php to flash and from flash to a "new" php page but here is my question.
I have a php page (page1.php) with some HTML and a php variable called $number. page1.php also has an embedded test.swf movie. While working with the test.swf movie, I want to send data back to the $number var on the page1.php without reloading the page1.php because then it would reload the test.swf movie.
I have been able to use javascript to change background colors on page1.php from within the test.swf movie but cannot figure out how to set a php variable from within the test.swf movie.

Then on my CF page I have this:
<cfmail from="info@mysite.com" to="#FORM.email#"
SERVER="mail.mysite.com" >
#FORM.comments# #FORM.company# #FORM.name#

I can't find a tutorial on this. Everything is PHP. And I don't want to use "Flash Forms in MX7"

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 have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?
