Flash - Picnik-like Signup Form With Realtime Validation?
Nov 7, 2010
I'm about to build an OOP signup form in AS2 with realtime data validation. There are 3 fields 'Username', 'Password' and 'Email' and two of those will check with the server to see if the the username or email is taken. This is almost identical to the signup form on [URL] The way I've experimented with so far is to begin an onEnterFrame event on the textField as it receives focus. This onEnterFrame function checks for spelling, character count etc When the textField loses focus it then sends the data to the server and checks if it already exists. If it doesn't, it will validate. What I've written works rather well (up until the submitting - haven't worked that out yet) but the code is rather unwieldy and seems too long.
What is the best way to go about building this? Are onEnterFrame checkers the best way to go? Should the data send to the server onKillFocus? Should the submit button trigger all the onEnterFrame validation functions to run again (in case the user didn't wait for validation)

I'm working on a form validation script, and whilst I like (in theory) to build reusable classes, this is one time I'm finding it a bit tricky.
The problem is it's difficult to build something loosely-coupled when the actual components of the form could be textfields, Flash components, or even my own basic custom components.
Interfaces are out the window, as an interface (say IFormElement) I might set up with getters and setters for label, error message and value, won't be relevant to Flash UI components.
At the moment, I'm leaning towards a base Validation class that should be extended in order to cater for different flavours of forms, with getValue() and setError() type messages.
The problem again here is that it is difficult to retain type safety, as when overriding the methods in the subclasses, obviously one can't change the type within the method signature.

I'm in the process of testing this flash email form: [URL]. Enter '27' in the 'Go To page ' text field and click go to be able to view the form. Once you are viewing the form if you click send without entering any text/data into any field it allows you to send a blank submission. It should send you to a failure screen and tell you to start again.
The actionscript is as follows...
stop();
var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// Adds conditional logic for the Submit button that
// validates user input.

Ive been trying to get an email validation working for my form. It works great locally within flash preview, but not locally via its html window, or live. Im not a coder & am self taught to the code will be pretty shabby! (trial & error type gal!)
This is on my send btn,
Code:
on (release) {
if (form.name == null && form.email == null && form.message == null) {
errmsg = "oooh, you didnt write anything";
} else if (form.name == null) {
[code]....
When live it doesnt allow sending if the criteria arent met, but doesnt display the error messages either,

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.
on(release){
for(i=1;i<100;i++){
if(eval("code"+i) == code){

I run throught these series of checks before submitting the variables to the .jsp script.roblem is that it will ignore the sender name and receipient name as long as there are two email addresses. Why is that?
if (sendername eq "") { nameerrorTXT.text = "PLEASE ENTER YOUR NAME"; } if (emailfrom.indexOf("@")<0 or emailfrom.indexOf(".")<0) { emailfromerror.text= "PLEASE USE VALID EMAIL ADDRESS"; emailfromTXT.text =

I am putting together a Flash Form. I had it all finished and posted it on a testing site, then I realized there was a problem.I have form validation that works like this. If a user hits the submit button but has not entered information in all of the required fields, the user will get an error message telling them to input all required information. However, there is a workaround. It seems that Flash sees the value of the "spacebar" as a positive value and lets users get past my validation.I need to assign the "spacebar" a value, make it a variable, or something along those lines. Then tell it to be equal to "0", which is not an acceptable number to pass my form validation.

But how should I validate the fields then? anyone?

I'm looking to build a banner advert for a client that allows users to input their details in order to receive a free guide sent through to their email address / have the option to enter their phone number for a call about the promotion. I've cracked the email validation (i think), however I'm having a few problems validating phone numbers before they are approved and sent for data collection. I have found the following tutorial online (url.../) which provides you with the following code;However, this is for US phone numbers I think and I'm looking to either have it UK based or preferably allow all telephone numbers to be validated (is this possible?). Currently the form on the tutorial page does not allow for standard UK landline and mobile phone numbers.[code]

I made a login form using flash and made it pass it's variable to php for validation. I have two (2) variables from my php file that I want to pass to flash so it can control my movie. When I pass those two (2) variables, the first one has no problem. My dynamic textfield displays the value that the php sends but when I pass the second variable from my php to flash and displays it in my other dynamic text field, it displays the value but it appears to have html tags i.e.,
1<br /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: userLoggedIn in
<b>C:wampwwwestfernwoodestDisplayClients.php </b> on line <b>83</b><br />.
The value of my variable from php is 1 and as you can see, it contains html tags. How can I remove these tags?

I have a form with a horizontal layout and with this TextInput:
<s:TextInput id="platformNameTI" showErrorSkin="true" showErrorTip="true"/>
I have a simple validator that just checks if there is something entered (required field). My problem is as the layout is horizontal, when an error occurred (required file missing), all form items are shifted because of the error icon. Is there a way to delete that annoying icon or force the component to not display it?

I've created a custom textInput componenet that handles it's own validation using a private validator. The validation is enabled depending on the state of the component i.e. validation is enable when the components state is "edit".However, when the state changes from edit the internal validator is set to not enabled but the validation errors on the textbox do not clear - the textInput still has the red border and on mouseover the validation errors come up. What I want to happen is that when a validator is disabled the error formatting and error messages clear from the text input control.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this I tried setting the internal validator instance to enabled = false and dispatching a new focusOutEvent as below but the validation error formatting is still applied to the textInput contrl.
_validatorInstance.enabled = false;
//clear the validation errors if any
dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT));

I need to implement a realtime connection between 2 or more players, that will play a Flash game. I've read that RTMFP is a good choice to make this connection the best possible (were best=less lag between actions), but, I am quite new to this kind of things, what documentation/tutorial/guide you think would be the best to get started and finally make a good implementation of RTMFP?
(Also, I read that there are differents servers or frameworks that provide the same, like Cirrus, Red5, etc, what pros and contras have this?, taking cost into account). I was reading the adobe documentation, there is an example too, but I'd love to see some more flash game based example, even a very basic one, so I can extend that functionality and start making tests. I got it working, now, I need to know how to make a webservice for the peer ID interconnection.

I'm trying to write a flash application which takes a Microphone stream and applies realtime effects and outputs this back to the speakers. I'm finding I'm having problems with stuttering when taking the output from the mic, copying this into a ByteArray amd then using a seperate
sound = new Sound();
sound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, processSound);
sound.play();
to read from this ByteArray and play back the sound.I have noticed that the input from the mic's bytesAvailable changes, and also that the two events (the mic's SAMPLE_DATA and the sound's SAMPLE_DATA) aren't firing A B A B A B A B like would be needed but is more random.
Am I right in thinking that the mic.SAMPLE_DATA event fires at different intervals with different amounts of data and a working implementation would need to read the available data in and buffer the input so that the Sound SampleDataEvent would always have something to play back to avoid the stuffering?

I want users to be able to upload audio files to my server (say, over HTTP.. mechanism doesn't matter much), and then I'd like to assemble those files into a playlist and stream them out over a live RTMP stream to a Flash widget.The catch is: I'd like to begin streaming the audio files before they completely finish uploading. For example, if a user uploads an hour-long mp3, I'd like it to be able to begin playing on the RTMP stream once, say, the first minute has been uploaded.I'd like to support mp3 and AAC, and would hope to avoid re-encoding the files. Is is there a way to make this work with Wowza, Flash Media Server, or some other clever solution?
