Is A Flash Form W/Connection To SQL Server Possible?

Flash Server Dropped All Connection
I use a Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3 for Live broadcast. Sometimes when I have 12-30 clients connection the server dropped all connections. So the user must press play again to connect again. If there are more the 30 connection it works perfect and if there are less the 12 connection also. Can someone help me to find the problem. It works on a Windows 2003 Server. The encoder is also on the same server. So that it not can be a problem of the delivery of the video contend.

VideoError: 1000: Unable To Make Connection To Server Or To Find FLV On Server
I've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks learning Flash. I developed a Flash (swf) file that plays a Flash video (flv) with cue points. It all works very nicely locally, but when I put it on the server and try to access the html file, the Flash control is white (nothing visible) and a popup error message comes up with this error. I've looked all over the web (including non-English sites), tried playing with all the Publish settings I could think of (version check, local/network access, omit trace, enable debugging) and tried adding error handling code to the swf file itself. I've also tried changing the path for the flv file to be relative, absolute and somewhere in between, but nothing works.

Does anybody know what can cause this error?

Flash Front Quiz/ Asp And Sql Server. Connection Problem.
Hi. I am following an example from a book that shows you how to create a flash front end quiz with asp.net and sql server databse. I am using flash MX 2004, visual basic 2003 & MS SQL server 2000. I am having problem connecting the user registration from the flash end. It just doesn't seem to do anything even though I have copied the code exactly as it says in the book(Building database driven flash application).

The user choose to register and enters their username and password then clicks a register button. this then goes to another frame that has a movie clip and the following code behind it:

onClipEvent(load) {
_root.done = 0;
//call aspx page to register new player
_root.loadVariables("Register.aspx?PlayerName="+_root.strUsername+"&Password="
+_root.str
Password);
startTime = getTimer();
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
//check for timeout
if ((getTimer() - startTime)/1000 < _root.TimeoutLength) {
if (_root.done=="1") {
//if aspx returned an error send to error screen
if (_root.Error != "") {
_root.strReturn = "initialize2";
_root.gotoAndStop("error");
} else {
//if all is successful sent to question
_root.gotoAndStop("question");
}
}
} else {
_root.error = "The server timed out while trying to register your
information. Please press OK below to try again.";
_root.strReturn = "register";
_root.gotoAndStop("error");
}
}

In the register aspx page that it calls the code is as follows:
Public Class Register
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

' If no results, then there is no player match
If blnResult = False Then

Else

The flash movie is embeded into a page called default.aspx
Can any see anything major that im doing wrong here? Maybe there is some sort of problem with the flash accessing the asp pages. I am not sure. I am new to this and finding it difficult. Hope someone can help me. Thanks In advance.

Slow Connection To Flash Media Server 2 (with HTTP Tunneling)
Hello,

I use a FMS2 for a big project which include Instant Messenger and
streaming video.
On my development platform. I have no problem. But in the final
configuration, the connection to Flash Media Server takes a lot of
time (about 2 or 3 minutes) and i can't find why.
FMS2 was installed on Windows 2003 Server behind a proxy and a
firewall which only let the hostport 80 oppened.
The server does not run a web server (or anyother application) which
use this hostport.
The connection are established by HTTP Tunneling.
Does someone already have the same problem?

Thanks for your answers and sorry for my poor english level.

Flash Form, CGI Connection Issues
I'm not seeing any traffic, that's why I think I'm having connection issues. I'll try and change a few things to reflect this below and see what happens.

The flash file is located at: www.xxxx.com/company/io
So to reflect that location I'll change the CGI URL from absolute to standard: ../../cgi/common/form-mail.pl

View Flash form here

on (release) {
formData = new LoadVars();
formData["PTCcode-email"] = "yes";
formData["PTCcode-flatfile"] = "yes";
formData["PTCcode-database"] = "job_description";
formData["PTCcode-recipient"] = "xxxx@xxx.com";
formData["PTCcode-subject"] = "Form information";
result = new LoadVars();
result.form = this;
result.onLoad = function() {
this.form.first_name = this.first_name;
this.form.last_name = this.last_name;
this.form.email = this.email;
this.form.phone = this.phone;
this.form.comments = this.comments;
}
formData.sendAndLoad("http://www.xxxx.com/cgi/common/form-mail.pl",result,"post");
this.gotoAndStop("Sent");
}

If anyone see's anything that might be causing a problem please let me know.

Thanks -Rob

Flash Form Data Connection Offline
I want to create a flash form and be able to collect the data offline. The company I work for has a e-newsletter, and we would like to set a lab top up (outdoors w/ no interenet connection) at an event and have the people sign up for the newsletter on this flash form and collect the data in some kind of database (excel or whatever). We had used paper in the past, but taking the names and email addresses from the paper is time consuming and sometimes very hard to read. Is there a solution?

How To Know A Server Connection Is Down
hi, i run into a problem, that's to know when a connection is down, i have a flash movie that interacts with PHP in the server side, it has data going back and foward from flash to PHP and back to flash, the problem is to test when the connection to the server is down, because i have to freeze that flash movie when the connection goes down.

Lets say the user that is playing a flash game, makes a decision, and click a botton, the flash movies send a request to the PHP server, fo far so good, but now lets say that the connection between the server and the client, goes dead (internet connection brokes down), i need to have some kind of timeout so, if the flash movies dont get an answer from the PHP server, freeze the entire game, and show's a message to the user saying the connection is down.

ok here's an example of the connection code i have so far:

function gere_opcoes(valor) {
switch (valor) {
///////////////// Fase 0 //////////////////////
case 0 :

var enviados0 = new LoadVars();
enviados0.opcao = 0;
var recebidos0:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
enviados0.sendAndLoad(filepath,recebidos0,"POST");
recebidos0.onLoad = function(succes:Boolean) {
_root.varsaldo = recebidos0.Balance;
};
break;
}
}

how can i, implement the timeout on each switch option?
By the way i have multiple connections per game.

I have no idea how to test that.
Any sugestions?

Local Connection - Over A Server?
from the tutorial that i've seen is that local connection is used to contact a receiving swf.

I would like to know is it possible to contect another swf not in the same html page, and if so is there a way to connect over a server???

I know that may sound bit but it would be cool if it could!!

Any ideas??

100% Actionscript Client-server Connection?
i was just wondering... since this thing called Mesmotronic Multiuser Server claims to be able to do it, and I'm already halfway fluent in actionscript 2 (but nothing else, so i'd prefer not to have to do it with python or whatever), is there a way to make an xmlSocket client-server program entirely out of actionscript?

If someone could just describe the basic methods for binding a swf to an IP and making it listen to a certain port, i could probly get it from there. (yeah yeah i know theres a hundred and three ready-made flash servers out there, but i wanna learn this stuff!!)

Checking External Server Connection.
Hi guys and gals,

I've got a swf called checkconnection.swf and basically this runs off and checks to see if it can get info from our online catalogue servers, however this swf is hosted at our IPS and our servers are here at our building on a different network with a different net address.

When I run the program from the flash program it works fantastic. When I transfer my swf over to our ISP it fails. Can flash check an external source?

So lets say, for example my flash file is hosted at myISP.com and my server is at myServer.com can flash view, post and get things over a different domain? Is there a way to force flash to do this?


Thanks to anyone that can help.

Storing Data...no Server Connection
I'm creating a kiosk for a tradeshow that people can walk by and use. The kiosk will be stored locally on that computer. At the end it asks for their name and email address. I need to somehow store that data somewhere, but I don't think I'll be able to have an internet connection where I can access a server. I know that you need access to some kind of database/php, asp....etc to write to a flat text file or an xml file, correct? I've also looked into sharedObject(), but am not sure if it can accomplish this. Does anybody know the best way that this can be accomplished? Thanks!

[F8]Error Responses From Mail Server Connection?
Hello guys,

(I think this one is for the programming gurus)
Obviously I'm not a programmer but I manage to do some scripting for my basic ActionScript needs.

Anyways, here is my question:
Is there a way to tell if a flash movie was unable to connect to internet or to a server side file like a PHP file? how can I display an error log or something like that?

My case:
I created a publicity program in flash, which enables the user to send emails to the vendor of the add the visitor is looking at. It is a basic "loadVariables()" function which connects with a PHP file in my server, and mails the data to the corresponding email address of each vendor, just like a Mail Form.
The drawback is that I have no way to tell if each mail was successfully sent after the user submits the form, I just display a confirmation message that says "Thank you your message has been sent" within the flash program, but it displays even if there is no connection.

So what's the best way to retrieve a success/error log in order to create an array of messages to display within my program?
(i.e. I there is no connection>then display "No connection, please try later")

Thanks in advance!

How Can I Check Network Connection With Communication Server
what i want is to draw our network as buttons or movie clips and flash checks every device is it connected to the flash file or not
And according to that the button color (that represents the device) changes

i found this on help:

The following example uses the Client.ip property to verify whether a new client has a specific IP address. The result determines which block of code runs.
Code:

ActionScript Code:
trace("

function application.onConnect(newClient, name){
    if (newClient.ip == "127.0.0.1"){
        // insert code here
    } else {
        // insert code here
    }
}

");
this is aserver-side code
how can i use this code to control every movie clip that represents adevice with an ip address
that code isn't acceptable in flash itis aserver-side code that (as i think) must be written in the main.asc file
please help if u can

1000: Unable To Make Connection To Server Or To Find FLV
Hi,

this is driving me crazy. This is so simple, I can't believe there is a problem. I placed and FLVPlayback component in my flash file, and named it "my_playback".
I created an actions layer and in it I do:

my_playback.contentPath("moviename.flv") ;

and the stupid flash gives me the error when I run it :

1000:unable to make connection to server or to find FLV.

Now the damn "moviename.flv" is in he same directory as the flash file, so what is going on?

I just can't believe that the simplest things are are so hard with Flash, I am getting so annoyed by it, I am almost ready to give up on Flash.

Does someone have an idea of what is going on?

thanks

Multiple Server Connection Music Player Swf File Redundancy?
Previous title: Multiple server connection music player swf file redundancy?

Old message:
Try saying that topic 10 times fast… :-P
Hi all… I have a rather interesting problem. I am using simple music player that I found somewhere on flashkit, I have been editing it and making it my own. I am using flash MX (not 2004) with Flash player 6 files.

Now my question… Is there a way to check to see if a document exists, (or a swf file loads) inside flash?. The reason is I plan to use two different servers to push my music out. One is on a T-1, and the other is a mirror on a T-3 connection. I want to keep my T-1 connection from going down by using a site mirror (the T-3) as a “Fail over” for my music files only. My music files will be accessible from a second apache server process that has a very limited connection count (probably around 10 or 15 connections) and will give a 503 error if to many connections occur, denying access to the file. I would then like the Flash music player to fail over to the backup T-3 server. Is this possible?

I would think that there would be a way to check to see if a loadMovieNum() happened and then fail over but I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out. I guess another method would be for flash to detect the 503 errors from the web server, but again, I do not know how to do that. It seems everything I try with my if/else statements fails :-(. I pretty much just need to know the condition statement I should be using :-/.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Flash Email Form (but Server Doesn't Support Php)...
Hello, first of all, I would like to say that I would REALLY appreciate it if someone please helped me with this topic!!! Thanks!

Ok, I am currently building a Flash site and was wanting to create an email form for people to type in a message with a subject and all and when the send button was clicked it would send the info through a php file and to my email. Well, I checked with my host server and unfortunately, it doesn't support php. So, my question is: Is there another way to do this? I don't want it to go through like a computer client but where anyone can do it! Thanks!

Form And Server Issue
hi.

i created a 'email us' form on my site a while ago (with cut and paste scripting if you know what i mean) which was fine and worked well. basically it had entries which you fill in and it emails the text to our email account.

however we changed hoster to a Unix based server and the html file which flash used to direct the emails to us doesn't work now.

file attached. (cdontsMail.asp)

is this the issue? do i have to source another means of directing forms through our new server?


i must confess i have very little knowledge of html.

any help or direction where i may source another form, would be fantastic.


cheers!

Getting Variables Form Server
Ok guys, I've delved into Flash MX 2004 Pro ASv2 and I got a couple questions.

I am building a site that has a flash movie which houses the navigation. I want it to dynamically build the navigation depending on the values I have in a database. The server model is Coldfusion MX 6.1

Can you tell me if I'm doing this right?

1. I build a page called cf_buildNav.cfm which flash makes a call to.

2. That page's output is then parsed by flash and if outputed in the right format (up to my code), will build a variable list inside the flash movie.

3. The flash movie can then use that information to dynamically build and position menu elements.

The .cfm page in question would just be outputting the currently selected menu's options and then making them tile below.

If this is right, I guess I'll have to use a set size dimension flash file and just make things scroll in the flash movie.

EMail Form From External PHP Server
Hi,

I've searched the forums for mail forms and all results returned code that deals with the SWF file & PHP file being on the same server.

My hosting doesnt provide PHP service so I registered with PHPnet.US for a free PHP server.

Now, when I use the
Code:
loadVariables("http://vxphoto.phpnet.us/email.php", "POST");
nothing happens.

Can I use that directly or do I need to set up a variable with the
Code:
getURL
command and then pass that variable to the
Code:
loadVariables
method?

Thanks for your help...

Sending Form Information To Server
Excuse me everyone for my lack of knowledge.

I am in the process of creating a flash site for friend of mine. He wants to be able to have a guest list for his events in DC. I have created form boxes and have given them all "instance names". But I have absoultely NO clue how to have the text entered by people trying to get on the guest list sent to my server so we can all read it.

I have a book on Flash but it really doest explain how to do it at all. I'm guessing I need to do some actionscript?

The instance names for the boxes are:

Name box --------> nameBox

Event box ---------> eventBox

Email box ---------> emailBox

Guest box ---------> guestBox

Submit Button ---------> submitBtn

The website can be viewed at The Debonair Touch

Please, someone help!!! I am very lost! LOL

No Hosting Php Server And Form Mail
Questiono.

I have transfered my site to a host where there is no PHP support. My sendmail still works perfectly from the original host, I have linked the email.swf to load from the old server (with PHP support) it loads fine, however the form data is not sent.

I dont even know if this is possible to get working! Thats all I'm trying to find out.

Thanks again, again and again.

Wierd - Mail Form Works But Not On Server?
Im about ready to tear my hair out here.

Its a simple mail form using my isps asp mailer script which i have attatched to a button.

loadVariablesNum("http://www.scripts.provider.com/mailto.asp", "0", "GET");

Naturally the above is all on one line and does not contain errors!

The reason im sure it is error free is casue it works from within flash when you preview the movie (calls the script sends any variables and i get an email sent to my specified address), it also works when i publish the files and run it in IE from my desktop but when i upload it to my hosting provider and go to run it off the server - nothing happens!!! It doesnt even look as though its actioning the loadvariablesNum script as no data is sent via my connection.

Other than this the whole .swf file works fine off the server and i have even tried uploading to a completely different hosting provider with the same result - nothing happens.

Im hoping someone has experienced a similar problem and can offer some advice.

Pleeassssseeeeee...

Creating Email Form Using Server Side ASP
Im back into flash, was away for awhile. Had to go were the money took me. So now I do networking and web design. Pretty good at both, but master to none. I run my own network out of my house including exchange.

Anyway, I need help creating a email form. I'm loading an ASP doc using the loadVariablesNum ACTION.

I've created the movie in flash, named the var's and use the loadVariablesNum to pass the data to the ASP page that is in a folder that my IIS services points to.

I have followed several tutorials and used code that seams to be working for everyone but me. Does anyone have clearn instructions on HOW TO create an email form using client/server tech, I would really hate to have to us the mailto action.

Code
Flash button
on (release) {
EmailStatus = "Transmitting";
loadVariablesNum("NewMail.asp", 0, "POST");
}

ASP Page
Option Explicit
Dim objNewMail
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.From = "mattaur@webmystics.com"
objNewMail.To = "mattaur@webmystics.com"
objNewMail.Subject = "This is a test Mail"
objNewMail.Body = "This is the Body text of this test mail."
objNewMail.Send
Set objNewMail = Nothing
Response.Write "Email has been sent"

Should this code work?
