Data Integration :: Sending Form Information To Server?
Dec 20, 2006
I am in the process of creating a flash site for friend of mine. He wants to be able to have a guest list for his events in DC. I have created form boxes and have given them all "instance names". But I have absoultely NO clue how to have the text entered by people trying to get on the guest list sent to my server so we can all read it.
I have a book on Flash but it really doest explain how to do it at all. I'm guessing I need to do some actionscript?
I've made a flash page with user input for email and comments. The thing is I am working with a aspx.net server. The programmer has written out a aspx coding for the server side. Now all i have to do is write a script in the input fields in flash to connect to the aspx server. The progammer said that I would have to create variables inside the flash program to call to the aspx page he created. I am faily new to aspx and have no clue to writing a script with variables.
am having this problem of sending XML request to an addresswhich starts with "https". The problem is I always get the errormessage "Error opening URL "https:......."", instead of the actualresponse which should be in XML format as well.The function I am using is "sendAndLoad()"requestXML and responseXML are objects of XML class . Whatfunction "sendAndLoad" above does is to post variables in the"requestXML" object to the specified URL "servelet_address". Theserver response is downloaded, parsed as variable data, and theresulting variables are placed in the responseXML object.However, as I stated above, I always get the error message.
I have created a script for an Adobe FMS application to broadcast a playlist of video files as a live stream. (internet tv)
I am now working on a custom Flash-based video player to play my stream.
How do I send information from my server-side FMS application (main.asc) to the client-side video player? (e.g: title, duration of current video player)
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 a table (Excel File) about 1000 rows and 3 columns. I want to load this table to the Flash and then be able to fetch data by referring to the first column.
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'm remodeling a website i've done ([URL]). i want to exchange information between XML and Flash files. i almost did it, but where shoul display information about one item, the whole content of this 'field' is shown. i'll explain better. this swf displays works of an artist. but the field 'date' (or any other text field) display the content of all works (separated by commas). i'll post the xml code and the actionscript code.
I want to create a Flash file so a user can check boxes to filter what images are displayed--the (unfiltered) images would come from an XML file. Or, a MySQL database if that's easier. Is this possible? If so, how?
I have an SQL database setup which contains Herbal Information such as CommonName, LatinName, MedicalUse etc, and need to display the information in a Flash DataGrid Component. I also have the corresponding PHP script to connect, retrieve, add and delete items from the database. Although I am familiar with Flash in a design sense I have limited experience using Action Scripts and am unable to complete the connection myself.
I want to create a slideshow banner that will showcase our products. The slideshow will contain the image of the product, the name, the price, the item code and the link when someone clicks on it. Each week we update the best sellers and it can be from 5 to 15 different products. Similar to what we have now in our website www.deiequipment.com which now is static, we want to animate it and rotate the products like a slideshow.The problem we are encountering is that we have to manually update the slideshow content.
We would like to know if there is a way through scripting or catalyst to connect to a database and simply update all these fields automatically. So for example if the database has 5 items, automatically will pre-fill each field listed above and the slideshow will have 5 products.
If we update the database now with 10 products, to update automatically. That way we can create 1 slide show, the time it takes to rotate to the next product, and add simple button controls to the slide show for next and back that will simply go through the loaded items.I tried to do a research on how to do it online but some takes me to scripting, others to catalyst dabases, but none are specific to what I need.As a note, the image will just be an image holder that will be updated with the image field in the database that points to the URL location of the image.
I am working on the contact form for a website that is done entirely in flash. The following is the code I have for sending the variables to the emailForm.php script that I created. The only problem I'm having is that everytime you send the contact information, a new web browser window opens up (it opens the php file in the web browser). I'm testing this on my local server and it works great, except for the fact that everytime I send it, I dont want a new browser window opening up.
How to store the data text in Access databases using flash form and to search into the database. It is possible to work without server because I don't want to put this flash file on the net. how to make databases and to connect with flash and to have possibility to search the database, but to work database in the local computer.
I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
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:

ok so when i need to connect a swf to some sort of data source on the server be it XML, a .NET DLL, a CFC or what ever so that i can load data from a database or what ever, everyone is always saying that i shouldn't hard code the connection string into my actionscript as anyone can get it and do malicious things with it. So how should i load the connection string into flash. if i put them on the server in an XML file or somthing like that then i still need to put a connection string into the actionscript in order to load in my main connection strings into the actionscript.
Basically i need to know how to load an external string into a swf without anyone else being able to get hold of that string for them selves. i am developing an app for somone and i need it to connect to a database and i need it to be secure. i have everything sorted except making the connection string to the database unstealable.
I need to make an Odometer and the user can adjust the numbers and once they select their klm reading it needs to be sent to a PHP to sent it to a database. I am having trouble finding a way to send the data. Is it possible to make a "field box" and what ever number is in the box when you push submit sends to the php?
The problem is that I have an input form (with an instance name of 'form'). Its for a newsletter sign up to [URL] All I need is for when you click on the sign up button, it sends the data in the form to a webpage (which is [URL] <- that is actually an example, but the link is pretty much like that.
My contact form is not giving out any data to my e-mail.I'm using two input feilds with instance names as theEmail and theMessage on my action script from which data for the sender's email & the message will be retrieved.Here is the action action script code i'm using -
I have a form that allows users to submit an event.(So the form has text fields for name, event and date of event). The form works by sending its data to a php file, and then e-mailing that data to me. It works perfectly for me and many others, although it does not work when certain users submit their event - I just get a blank email. (So the form never works for 3 out of the 15 people using it). This is the script I am using to send the form's data to the php file: Code: eventForm.loadVariables("email.php", "POST"); Why this would not work for certain users only???
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 have looked all over the Internet for help with this.I have tried numerous video tutorials and for some reason I can't get it to work. I have created a form in flash cs4 AS2. It is a contact information form where the user fills out their information and sends it.I have created a the form in a movie clip (I have also tried it not in a movie clip) with the form components inside that movie clip.I have given each component on the form an instance name.The form has:
Full name (with instance name=name) Company (with IN =company) Title (with IN = title)[code]....
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.
