Flex :: Sending POST Variables To A Browser Window From AIR Application
Jul 15, 2011
I'm building an AIR application. Basically, what I'm looking to do is using navigateToUrl() to open a browser window, assign it a "name" and then, send variables to that newly opened window using the POST method.
EDIT : I need the window to be visible, this is why I absolutely need to use the navigateToUrl() function
I already know that I CAN'T DO something like this, that the AIR application will send the variables using the GET method...
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.myVar = "Hello my friend";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/my-page.php");
req.method = "POST":
I have a ColdFusion function which sends analytics called from a Flex sendPageAnalytics() function to a SQL database when the user navigates - this works perfectly.What I am trying to do is have the Flex application send a bunch of analytics when the user closes their browser, therefore providing information about the last navigation.
I have used an ExternalInterface callback and listener for window.onbeforeunload and a trace statement tells me that this is working fine.My problem is that when all bundled together, I get as far as tracing out that the sendPageAnalytics() function has been called, but I do not get a sendPageAnalyticsFaultHandler() trace or a sendPageAnalyticsResultHandler() trace, which I do on every other sendPageAnalytics() call.
Im building a reservation form, using actionscript and php. I use sendAndLoad to send variables to php via POST, which returns a different HTTP POST response in case of success or not. Is there anyway to "read" HTTP POST responses with actionscript?
I am trying to send variables to php script via POST with AS2. This is the code I use: Code: on(press){ var sendvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); sendvars.at = 'abv'; sendvars.wpc = 'abv'; sendvars.AlbumName = an.text; sendvars.send('[URL]', "_blank", "POST"); } The variables are sent, but POST is converted to GET and flash open this [URL].
I am trying to send variables from my Flash App to an ASPX page which receives the variables and outputs them on the screen. But he aspx script is not able to receive the variables. I am putting the variable into an object and sending that object using POST method through the URLVaiable class.
At the moment, I am posting information from my flash to a PHP page within the same server. This causes no problems, as I am posting to a PHP file within the same directory. form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST"); However, I am wanting to place my 'WIDGET' on other sites but still post the information back to my server to the PHP file (email.php).
I really need to send a variable via POST method to an URL and the navigate to it. navigateToURL sends variables using GET method, although I specified POST. URLLoader sends variables using POST method, but does not navigate to the URL.
I have a flex 3 application that creates an Image from a canvas which the user draws on. I use the ImageSnapshot class to create the image
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot=ImageSnapshot.captureImage(myCanvas); var imageByteArray:ByteArray=imageSnap.data as ByteArray;
I want the user to be able to print or save the image. I can use the following code to print the image but flex does not provide good control over printing across multiple pages
var printJob:FlexPrintJob=new FlexPrintJob(); printJob.start(); printJob.addObject(myCanvas, FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
I would like to display the image in a browser window so that the user could print it using the built in browser functionality or right click on the image and save it. Can this be done without requesting server side code to do it?
There seems to be a problem with Firefox 2.x sending variables to PHP scripts with the LoadVars.send/POST method.

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
I am writing a type of mail form in AS2 of Flash CS4. I collect two variables (nameCli and messageCli) I setup a "sending button" to appear only when there is a minimum of characters (2) under nameCli AND a minimum of 10 characters in messageCli. When that button is pressed I POST these two vars tru email_lv to email2.php. I do this check to be absolutely sure that these vars have contents.
It works and tests well on several computers (PCs) under XP, Vista and 7. I haven't tested on a Mac Under IE and Firefox 3.0.xx I get the email with the correct values.
The problem: somehow, now and then I get (and worse, my client, to whom I wrote this app, gets) an "empty" email. That is, the subject of these emails are: "Request from" and blank. No name. The message is also blank. Since I know, with no doubt that these vars have content, otherwise the send button wouldn't come up, I am puzzled. I have no idea of what OS or Browsers these users have. Would be possible that some browsers would "block" the vars sent via POST?
I've created a standalone Kiosk that sends data input from the user to an ASP page.
Everything is working perfectly except that since this is a Kiosk, there is no need for browsers. When I send the info to the ASP page, it pops up a new browser window.
Here is my code: -------------------------------- on(release){ v = new LoadVars(); v.send("http://www.cube-interactive.com/clients/healthsource
I am working on an Adobe AIR Application. The size on Application window is 800X600 and is contains border container and border container contains many controls. What I want is to if user re-sizes the application then that container should also be re-sized according to scale. i.e If user maximizes or minimizes the window then that border container should also be maximized or minimized respectively.

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 :
I just want to know how to add a twitter login in a flex 4 appliation. Bascially on click of a button it should ask for login, and twitter post button which will post the tweets.
I've got a flex app that is basically completed it uses Zend AMF to connect/supply data.My app does have a login screen which seems to work fine. Now I'd like to add another login form on my site that would allows users to enter in username/password. When submitted form should pass the data to the flex app and bypass the application's login.
I created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
I am loading a SWF with a button embedded in a php/html page. I want to send a value to a php document (preferably using post) when the user clicks the button.
my AS script is this
actionscript Code:
valuebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnvalueClickHandler); function btnvalueClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest("url.php")); }
[Code].....
I am sure I am missing a simple thing. I have done some research but it seems that I am missing the link between requesting a URL and POSTing a value. I have been trying to figure this out for some time.
I have developed a facebook application in which I am sending data from Flash to Php.Its actually a game based on Flash 8 and at the end I send data by using
loadVarsNum()
using POST method to flash but the problem is this data can be easily tampered so I want know that how can I secure my data from theft or any hack.
I have a developed a application that allows users to draw simple images on a canvas. The name of the movieclip(canvas) is canvas_mc.
I need to save this drawing on the server using php. I have to convert the movieclip (canvas_mc) into png and jpeg and save it. I have successfully save it on local drive using some classes available in
[URL]
How can I save it on server using PHP. I have been asked to use the post method. If possible give me the code also as I just moved into programming from design :-)
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.
I'm using mx:WindowedApplication, I'm wondering how I can skin the title bar and close/minimize button for the window. I can see application like Pandora One is using it and setting transparency. Any pointer to a doc?
