Actionscript 3 :: Send Data From Flash Player Into An External Executable Through A Pipe?
Nov 11, 2011
I want to send data generated by a flash module into an external executable in windows. From what I've learnt about interprocess communication, I think it is appropriate to use pipes in this case. I am using Flash professional CS5 and when a 'trace' command is used inactionscript the ouput will be displayed in the output window in flash professional. I think Flash pipes the data into the output window and if so is it possible to obtain the handle to that pipe. Is there a way by which I can write the output from flash player itself when the trace commands are executed or the data generated on an event directly into the buffer of a pipe.
I would like to update the swf player that I specify into FDT and what Flash IDE uses to play files, namely from Flash 10 to Flash 11 for Stage3d preview. How does one do this?
i have a problem regarding the integration between flash and ASP file i have an ASP file that gets a record set from the database i don't know how to send this record set to flash and place it in a data grid
Just have a Flash MX question. Is it possible to pipe in XML and dynamically create objects using actionscript? In the instance sense. Can I have a library object and create many instances of it dynamically using actionscript that reads incoming XML?Also, I know it is possible to drive animation with actionscript. Once the object is created, can I give it complex behavior? Does actionscript have classes or is it much simpler than that?
i want to ask : how can i send data from flash to php using as3 and receive data from php using flash and another question : how can i upload files using as3
I have a game that needs to send the number of points a player is awarding to another player to a MySQL database on the same server. This game is part of my psych MSc dissertation, and I've gotten a lot of help on this bit from my department techie who knows php and MySQL well. However, he has absolutely no experience with Flash or Actionscript. He's gotten the php bit working so that it does send data to the right table in the database when it's supposed to using dummy variables, but when we try to test it with the actual .swf thats supposed to be doing the sending, nothing happens. We're pretty sure this means theres something wrong with the actionscript, but we don't know where.
Is it possible to embed a flv into a swf and then run it thru an arbitrary flash player and be able to send information from the swf to a destination of my choice?The information could be some variable that is sent when the movie starts playing etc

I am trying to put together a simple game and have been doing really well until I decided I am going to have to create a new class to handle enemies.What I have so far is a player walking around on random terrains and I am up to the point where I have placed x amount of enemies on stage at appropriate times. I have written their class which will hopefully eventually handle their behavior and it outputs simple trace("BOO!").
Where I face the problem is that I obviously would like to make these enemies follow the player to attack. But when I try to access the .x or .y attributes of the player, it throws an error: 'call to a possibly undefined property with static type Class'?I have tried accessing the .x using the following ways (where badger is my player instance and Main is my class definition within the properties of the FLA):
Main.badger.x Main(root).badger.x Stage.badger.x
I have also tried to access other vars and still nope..My class code is this:
Need to find a way to send a delete method from Flash Player (Flex). Currently it's not done by default (except for from AIR), but I am sure someone has augmented the URLRequestHeader to get it to work properly. I've tried this, it isn't working:
I've ran into a weird problem while trying to send a JSON command to my company's flash player. Basically, i am unable to pass a playlist to this player - nothing happens - using the following command:
player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", json_str);
but the weirdest part is that if I print the entire command using Firebug's console.log, copy it and paste it into the code (thus hardcoding the playlist), everything works like a charm.
console.log('[loadNewListofContents] playing the following content list: player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", ' + json_str.toString() + ');');
and if i hardcode it, it works!I've tried all the toString() tricks I can think of (ex: json_str.toString(), '"' + json_str.toString() + '"', etc...) but so far no such luck.
Send data from Flash to PHP = Possible. Is it possible the other way? ( for example, send a variable from PHP to Flash ). If it is, how secure is it? Can people see the data that was sent?
I have got to send sth by ASP in Flash. I wrote some code but this doesnt work.[code]If I just click on email. asp without Flash, I will get a email from there. But if I use the above method to call that page, the email wont be sent. So do anyone know what wrong?
I create an xml in flash and want to save it on the server. i user my_xm.send("script.php"); to send the created xml, but don't know how to handle it in PHP in order to save the file on the disk.
I have a flash form that sends a monthly report that users fill out to a php file, which sends it to a MS SQL database. This issue I am having is that anything larger then 1300 characters entered into the flash form will not work at all. If I reduce the amount of text to 1300 characters or less, it will send it to the php and database just fine. My research shows that a flash variable should be able to handle 65,000 characters, and when I trace my output from flash to php, all of the data is being traced. however, it is not being send to php. I am using LoadVars to send the data with _GET. So is this a php issue, or a flash issue? I ran a php info page and my max_post is set to 10M that should be enough to handle this load. I am not sure why it is not working with anything larger then 1300 characters. Below is my code for my php and flash files.
The variables that are affected by this are the testEvlauation, projects, support, and programManagement variables. I need them to send at least 8000 characters a peice to the php file.
Flash Code:
on (release) { sendData = new LoadVars(); sendData.contractor = contractor.text; sendData.name = name.text;
I have a flash form (widget) on a website that the user can enter details (or select them from drop down menus).
There is then a submit button at the bottom.
This is quite primitive, and as far as my flash allows me. The bit I am stuck with is that I need to send the data then to a .PHP file that will then forward this to the correct people (this bit is already done for me).
sending this information (e.g. Phone Number, Country, Language etc) to the .PHP file.
i have a project which is is a desktop application in .Net, and from .Net 3 String value is Passed to Flash. My question is how to receive data coming from the desktop application in flash as3? because here i don't have any URL to load data.
Hi, i'm working on a project where i have some major functions on the page working in over a flash file, and i was wondering if there was a way to interact with the html page, based on actions made in the flash file, without having to use ajax or something like that.
I want the flash file to send some kind of data to the html page, much like a javascript, WITHOUT having to reload the page or submit it like a form action.
I've got a piece of JavaScript code in an HTML file which detects the height and width of the browser. What I'd like to do is pass the height and width values to Flash. I've followed the Adobe documentation for this using the ExternalInterface class but can't get it to work. For some reason the sendDataToFlash(); function in my JS isn't being called. [code]...
myVars.sendAndLoad("[URL]", myVars_received, "POST"); So I can't see anything inside the text field, I can't even trace it.. it says undefined in 20px caps.
