IE Not Recognizing Post Data Using LoadVars From Flash Inside A Frameset?
Sep 16, 2010
This code is being run from a frameset in IE8. When the new window is opened, the form data is not being recognized. It appears that the http header, "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", is not being passed into IE and this is causing the post data not to be processed. The data is there, IE is just doing nothing with it.
This code works fine in FF and Chrome, and in fact the correct headers are passed in FF and Chrome.
NOTE: The new page is on a different site, but i don't know why that would cause a problem with a POST and not a GET.
Flash code:
varSender = new LoadVars();
varSender.title = _parent.tCourseTitle;
varSender.notes = input_txt.text;
varSender.send("http://example.com/notes/print.cfm", "_blank", "POST");
I have tried adding the header to the send request, but that has no effect at all. The contenttype header is still missing and it still works everywhere but IE.
My current work around is to use a GET instead of a post, but that's ugly and it limits us in the size of data we can pass but for now at least it works.

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

Is it possible to "POST" JSON data in the body of a request with LoadVars? I understand LoadVars sends data as name>value pairs. How can I send the data in the body instead?

I am attempting to post 3 variables to an e-commerce page that was written in ASP.NET 2.0, but it is not working. I have deployed a simple .aspx page that echos the Request.Form object to the page so that I can see what it is receiving.When flash calls the loadvars.send() in Firefox I see what I would expect which is a list of keys value pairs.

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 was just wondering if it is important to include POST as a method of sending loadVars to the php file. i was using POST before and i still ecountered some problems of receiving empty mails. Since i found an example which do not use POST or REQUEST method i dont have anymore prob. I just wanted to get another opinion about that as i wanna start using server side script with flash and i know that ill be using the POST method.

How do you get a True/False statement to be recognized inside a movie clip with a button on the main timeline as the control. I want my movie clip to stop at the last frame if the movie clip reaches the last frame. Otherwise gotoAndStop at the first frame of the clip. I was using
on (press) {
_root.m1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.m2.gotoAndPlay(1);

I'm using the preloader like the one rhamej posted here:[URL]The part of the code I need help with is as follows:
[AS]
//fire the MovieClipLoader and attach the listener to it
var container1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container1.addListener(mclListener);
[code]....
I realize the code is wrong. I wondered if it was possible after loading an external .swf ("1_movie.swf") within the container, if you could then press a button (enter_button) located within the external .swf ("1_movie.swf") , and use the preloader code to load another external .swf on release ("tree20.swf"). I'm having trouble because the preloader code is in the main timeline of my main flash file ("index.fla"), and I don't know how to make the preloader code recognize the button located within the external .swf, and use it to load another external .swf within the same movie clip.

variable = 0;
function change() {
variable = 1;
}
[code]....
The problem is that it executes #Second before #First, which means that the object is not fullly loaded but the code continues nonetheless. Is there a way handle this? I have tried using a while loop, but this is ugly and makes flash crash. Is there any decent way to handle this, does it have to do with better code structure/program flow or is there a technical way to make it wait? Also note: This code is executed on the server side, which means there are no frames involved.
UPDATE:When projects get bigger, this gets very ugly, especially when you are retrieving mulitple things from a server, you have to use very deep nesting, you have to keep repeating the same code, example for buying a serial:
a.onload() {
if(moneyAmount > 10){
b.onload(pay) {

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 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.

My goal is to simply echo $_POST['imageVar']; back with content headers as a quick and dirty means to "export" an image from a flash application. I saw an example of this as follows, but it does not work with my php version/config:

I have a page, written in php that recives and ID value for Album information stored in an XML file. The XML File contains a links to "Samples": I'm trying to get my flash file to "retrive" the data (the ID value) from the php page (the flash file will be embedded), and make a list of samples that can be played. A sorta of an Audioplayer. I already know how to retrive XML data, but the retrival of the ID value from the PHP is a puzzle for me...

I'm basically interacting with a third party API flash file to send HTTP POST requests to my server. know I'm on somewhat the right path because it requires a crossdomain.xml file, and before I added that part nothing in the POST variables was showing up, however since I added that file there are 4 variables that are set, these POST variables are sent by the application to give me basic information about the file.. but I actually need to read the RAW POST data to actually save the image being sent by the Flash.I'm aware there are 3 ways...$GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA which is probably the same as the firstfile_get_contents('php://input')For whatever reason, neither of these "work". By "work" I mean they're not being set, when I var dump them I get nothing.
Could it be that there's a setting in php.ini that I need to set, or perhaps the Flash application is truly not sending the actual image? I think it's doing the right thing, because it's a semi popular API and it's used by a couple other sites so I'm pretty sure it's right on their end.

I have Flex application requiring to filter users depending on there database groups.Depending on which group they are, the're is a config.xml file that is use to populate the swf.Here is how I figure how to do this : 1. The client comes to a .aspx page with a form requiring a username and a password. 2. On the server side I confirm the user credential . Once the username/password is valid I redirect to the mxml file with the config.xml file in the html headers (post).My problem comes when I need to get the post data from the http request. Let's say I have this code :
<mx:Application initialize="init()">
<mx:Script>

Anyone know if you can connect, login, post an image to a Facebook account directly from inside of Flash? I grabbed the Facebook API for AS3 and have it installed, created an application definition on Facebook but am having no look connecting to it? I have seen some refereneces to it only working inside of Flex and am wondering it that's the case. I am looking to do a kiosk application where a camera image will be uploaded directly to the persons FB page.

Using localconnection i can send data from one swf to another.
[Swf 1] Send data to [SWF 2] - This works with LocalConnection
[SWF 2] Sends this data to [PHP script]
Is there a way to send data from SWF 2 to PHP script without post data? or what would be the secure way to do it?

I am making rest calls with a urlload.load(urlRquest).
also
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/xml";
When I make the calls within the Flash IDE, I get HTTPStatusEvent.status = 400 (or whatever) when an error occurs. And the IOErrorEvent.data contains xml (or sometimes a string).
However, when I run the swf in a browser (Firefox Mac or PC), the HTTPStatusEvent.status = 0, and the IOErrorEvent.data is empty. (Interestingly in Safari Mac, I do get the 400 status, but still no data.)

How can I use LoadVars inside a class?I mean, if I assign the method name to onLoad of LoadVars, the method will be override, and will not pertence to my class.look this:
[AS]
class myClass{
var lv:LoadVars;[code]...
this at onLoad function points to loadVars not to myClass.the only solution I found to this was to myClass extends LoadVars, but it limit me since AS 2 does not support multiple-Inheritance.I think I will face the same problem with all others components that does not has addEventListener capabilitie.

I am in the planning stage of an application. In fact, the application already exists but I am thinking about how to improve it. It's a sports event commentary viewer- it allows the user to view live commentary on soccer games, written by news scouters during the process of the game. Right now, it's all one big file, reading 7 different XML files on the fly, evaluating and processing them and displaying the data on screen.
It works well enough like this but now the whole thing is supposed to be expanded with live news feeds and a videoclip gallery, etc... and even though it would be possible to just keep expanding the file, I thought it would be cool to instead make several segments and put them in an HTML frameset. Now the question is: Is it even possible to pass values from one flash file that is running in one frame- to another one, running in another frame? Of course I will know the framename- so could use getURL with the framename as a target... but that would fully reload that frame and "cold-restart" the swf in that frame- I don't want that.

I am using the loadVars class (Flash 8) to load key/value pairs from a mySQL database through php (example &pic1=pic1.jpg&pic2=pic2.jpg&...).
The ultimate goal is to create a dynamic slideshow with a variable length, depending on how many pics were submitted by the user. Since the associative array object returned by loadVars does not share the "length" property of indexed arrays, my guess is that the values need to be converted into a new indexed array before being able to use them in the slideshow.
