IDE :: Dynamic Text Variabes To A Form PHP Script For Emailing?
Oct 10, 2009
If a user makes a number of selections from visual indicators on frame 1 of a Flash 8 file and textual descriptions of those selections are then actionscripted into dynamic text boxes as text values in a form on frame 2, can the text values of the dynamic text boxes be given variable names that can be sent to and processed by a server-side PHP script as regular input type text box variables would be processed?
Example: User selects 3 images on frame 1 via a mouse on(release) event.
the actionscript being:
on(release) {
form.dynamicTextBox1.text == "Image 1";[code]....
On the form frame (frame 2) would be a movie clip (form_mc with instance name form) with the normal Name, Email, Message input type text boxes along with dynamic text boxes dynamicTextBox1, 2 and 3.On the form Submit button the actionscript would be:
on(release) {
var sendVar = new LoadVars ();
var receiveVar = new LoadVars ();[code]....
If the input text boxes are give variable names (i.e. var userName, var userEmail and var userMessage) can the dynamic text boxes be given variable names also that can be passed to the server-side PHP script (i.e. var dynamicText1, var dynamicText2 and var dynamicText3)
where the PHP might look like:
Would this work? All indications I have seen through many Flash/PHP email tutorials indicate not using dynamic text boxes but components like combo boxes etc use variables and not input boxes.
I've created a form in Flash 8. I want the form to be emailed to a certain address after the user completes the form. I was hoping to use a submit button to send it. However I'm not figuring it out. I've made the form but when I select submit I just get a blank email form with the TO address I want and none of the data.I don't want this data recorded in a database just sent plain to a group mailbox.
Im trying to make a game, but want to use specific text input to get points, this is probably simple but it doesnt seem to work for me. Essentially I have a text input area on the screen and if the user enters the right value and then clicks continue they get points. I have a text input area named numgame and have attached this code to the continue button:
on (release) { if (numgame = "343"){ _root.score = _root.score + 100; gotoAndPlay(536); } }
Currently it seems like the if statement isnt even doing anything, the score is added once continue is pressed no matter what is entered. Is there a better/ correct way of doing this.
make a Flash contact form and send the data in an email without using a PHP script? My server does not support PHP... How would I go about sending an email from flash using a different language?
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I am building a design your own jewelry, program for a jewelry company. what I want to do in theory is..
after the user finishes, convert the jewelry_mc into a Bitmap, send the bitmapdata byte array to PHP, then on the php side turn the Byte array back into an actual image and mail it in the confirmation page to the user.
I am sure im not the first to want to email an image dynamically created in flash before?
i am going to launch a corporate site in a coupe of weeks that will have everyting nder the sun about the co.. i was thinking of gathering a info on visitors for the site but have a place where you can leave yor email information on the site now! is there any free emailing programs out there that i can use for the time being...
Ok, basically so when you click my movieclip button called "Email" it opens ur browser, and emails the message you put in the input box called "email_text", with the title you put in the input box called "email_title".I know php, and html, and other languages, is there a way to use PHP in flash? or have the php in a document and call a function in that php document and email it?
IE
function phpemail(msg, title) { mailto(msg, title) }
etc...
thats not proper php code, but an example and in flash open that php file and call it?
I wish users to be able to email me files. I know AS3 you can upload files (PDFs up to 25Mb). Is the best way to:1. Upload the file in flash, and get PHP to then directly email it to me2. Upload the file in flash, get PHP to save the file on a server, then email it to me3. Upload the file in flash, get PHP to save the file on a server, then email a link to me for me to download If it saves the file on the server (options 2 and 3), what happens about deleting the files as after a while they will take up lots of space.
I created a flash invite for a client and cannot get it to deliver correctly through email. I've tried everything that I have found here and it won't show up in some of the emails that I have tested. (mine is the only one that works). I then tried exporting the flash to a gif but the quality is really poor. Any way to correct that?? I can't believe that this so complicated. Is there a piece of code that I am missing? Can this even be done successfully? The last animated invite I did was in photoshop and was nearly as complicated as this one and didn't want to mess with it.
New to flash and building banner ads.My problem is that I have made a banner ad that works when I preview it but when I try sending it to someone else via email all that shows up are 5 white circles in the middle that rotate flashing.I thought it might have been something with the video so I tried sending the ad without the video and it still did the same thing.

I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.
i need to do a form composed by a text field and a button.on the press of the button i should output a string that is composed by a default part (ie: http:url...) and by the text inserted in the text form (ie: hello) in order to obtain a string like this one.
I am trying to make a web page similar to the link below...where when a customer types in the form text field, and simultaneously, the text will preview in another area of the webpage over and image. See example when you create a label[URL]
in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..
I want to create a form consisting of checkboxes that is based on data stored in a database and accessed via a RESTful web service in JSON format. Furthermore, some of these checkboxes will need to be pre-checked, based on other data stored and accessed in the manner described above. From what I understand I can use a repeater to create the checkboxes, but I'm unsure about the following and
I need to work with my contact form, I know how to make the form and everything..but I need to make it look like the one on this site. [URL]. How do I get the text to disappear as soon as I press the textfield?. Also how do I change the background colour of a textfield?.
I am trying to create dynamic variables to post to a form based on the content of some xml.I have loaded 15 objects which act as buttons into my movie and each button will trace the exact title as wanted. What i want to know is that when i click the button the title is stored in a dynamically created variable to be used later for posted to a php form.
PHP Code: // sprinkles function function GenerateSprinkles(sprinkles_xml) {
Here's what I'm trying to do: http:[url].....It's basically a form with 6 pages that you can scroll through back and forth, in case you missed some information and want to go back to review.I think the concept is good, but I'm unsure how to actually make it work.Here's a screenshot of the timeline so you get a feel of how I made it (but you probably already know...): http:[url]....
What I did was create a mask and the form scrolls through.... it goes forward until frame 45, then it goes backwards.For example, if we are on the page 2 of 6 and hit back, it plays the "backwards" animation and jumps back to frame 1 (of course not playing backwards, but with a "gotoAndStop(1);" command).The problem is that if I fill up, let's say all the info in the page 1 of 6, and then scroll through.. when I come back to that page, the info is lost.Here's what the form looks like: http:[url].....
I have named every input text and checkbock accordingly but am unsure how to make the input data actually stick to each field so that the "going back and forth" actually works.... how to get this done? The next step is to actually send out the form to a php script.. but first things first .My *guess* is that a script has to be added when I hit the "next" button - so that it sticks the field values (what the user typed) into each field, and stays there. This would also help gather info from each page for when it's ready to be sent.

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

Problem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
I'm trying to do a simple form validation from a text file. The text file has the variables loaded like this:
code1=WIL6542&code2=BISH4765&code3=NICH9876
I am loading the variables from the text file just fine.
I have a single variable input field on the form, it is called code
I have a single button with the actionscript below but it's not working. If I leave the input field blank it passes, if I put a correct or incorrect code in the input box it fails.
