Server Side Scripting Help(php) And Actionscript
I am relativly new to pHp, not so much to actionscript.

With that said, I need is some asistance in seting up a dynamic gallery for my portfolio section of my website. So any help would be most appreciated.

To better understand a quick overview of the actionscript and ultimate intentions is neseccary before getting to the root of the promblem.

actionscript:

Code:
//portfolio images
thumbs=["&nbsp","face.jpg","poster.jpg","cards.jpg","4.jpg"]

m = 20 // relative displacement
r = 4 // number of objects per row
count=16 // amount of objects total
h = r+(r*.25)
for (i=1; i<=count; i++) {
if(i >=(r+1)){xCord = (m*(i-((h+(r*2))-i)))+(Stage.width/2)}
if(i<(r+1)){xCord = (m*(i-(h-i)))+(Stage.width/2)}
if(i>=(r*2+1)){xCord = (m*(i-((h+((r*2)*2))-i)))+(Stage.width/2)}
if(i>=(r*3+1)){xCord = (m*(i-(((h+((r*2)*2))+(r*2))-i)))+(Stage.width/2)}
if(i>=(r*4+1)){xCord = (m*(i-(((h+((r*2)*2))+((r*2)*2))-i)))+(Stage.width/2)}
if(i<(r+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)-140}
if(i>=(r+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2) - 100}
if(i>=(r*2+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)-60}
if(i>=(r*3+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)-20}
if(i>=(r*4+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)+20}
if(i>=(r*5+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)+60}
if(i>=(r*6+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)+100}
if(i>=(r*7+1)){yCord = (Stage.height/2)+140}
mybox.duplicateMovieClip ("box"+i, i);
_root["box"+i].number=i;
_root["box"+i].gotoAndStop(i+1);
_root["box"+i]._x = xcord;
_root["box"+i]._y = ycord;
contain.duplicateMovieClip("gallery"+i, i+count);
_root["gallery"+i].loadMovie(thumbs[i]);
_root["gallery"+i]._x= ((Stage.width/2)-30);
_root["gallery"+i]._y= (Stage.height/2);
_root["gallery"+i]._xscale = 15;
_root["gallery"+i]._yscale = 15;
_root["gallery"+i]._alpha = 0;
}
for(var i=0;i<=count;i++){
_root.attachMovie("mybox", "box"+i, (i+(count+1)));
_root["box"+i].thei=i;
_root["box"+i].onRollOver=function(){
_root["gallery"+(this.thei)]._alpha = 100;
}
_root["box"+i].onRollOut=function(){
_root["gallery"+(this.thei)]._alpha = 0;
}
}
Basically this duplicates a a movieclip called mybox and sets them up on the stage.

Then It duplicates contain and sets up all the images on the stage with a transparentcy of 0.

Then when you rollover any given box the image which shows up is dependent on the i incerment or thei.

Non of that is really important though.. since, it all works.

Now I am hoping to bring to the next level.

This is more of less the concern with the actionscript:

Code:
//portfolio images
thumbs=["&nbsp","face.jpg","poster.jpg","cards.jpg","4.jpg"]
I have it set up currently so that each image I add it works (no more modification is nessecary to the rest of the code... since it is all based on a proportionate variables.)

What I need now is a way To read a directory in which the images are in and output the names.

Then pull out those names in flash.

So Instead of needing to write anything more in actionscript I can just add images to that folder and everything works in flash.

this is the code I am looking to use as a foundation for the reading directory.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

$dirtoget="/home/yourname/www/images/";
opendir(IMD, $dirtoget) || die("Cannot open directory");
@thefiles= readdir(IMD);
closedir(IMD);

print "Content-type: text/html

";
print "<HTML><BODY>";

foreach $f (@thefiles)
{
unless ( ($f eq ".") || ($f eq "..") )
{
print "$f<BR>";
}
}

print "</BODY></HTML>";
However, I have very minimal experience if any with php but, would highly like to have this run totally dynamically.

So any help would be most gratefull.

Especially from some pHp and actionscript gurus.

thanks

Read All Mp3 Files In A Specified Directory And Then Play Them
I have a mp3 player that plays 3 different mp3 files and it works good enough I suppose, but what I would like to do now is make it read all mp3 files in a specified directory and then play them. That way I won't have to specify individual filenames and locations in my code.

So what I need to know is how to read the all the mp3 filenames in my target directory to an array so I can include them in my playlist.

FMS Server Side ASC Files
Hello there I am having some trouble understanding the use of the server side scripts on FMS.

What I am trying to do is make a very basic isometric multiplayer game where you kill some monsters that are on screen (mmo style)

My basic code flow is

1> when starting the application create a shared object to hold information on monsters
2> Allow the player to connect

Now here all of my problems start.

ActionScript Code:
application.onAppStart = function(){
trace("Application Started");
amountMonsters = 5

//this is the object used to hold the monsters
monsters = SharedObject.get("monsters", false)
//I am making it into an array because of course there is more than 1 monster
monsters.data.monsters = new Array();

for (i=0; i<amountMonsters; i++) {
//I am pushing a class called Poring.as to the array and sending it some info when it is created
var por = new Poring(i);
monsters.data.monsters.push(por);
}

players = SharedObject.get("playersOn",false)
players.data.playersOn = new Array()

};

The poring as file contains this

ActionScript Code:
class Poring{
var myNum:Number = 0
var intervalId:Number
var tileX:Number
var tileY:Number
var tileTarget:String

function Poring(poringNum){ // initial poring setUp
myNum = poringNum
tileX = random(2)+1
tileY = random(2)+1
tileTarget = "tile"+tileX+"-"+tileY
trace(tileTarget)
intervalId = setInterval(this, "moveMe", 6000);

}
function moveMe(){
tileX = random(2)+1
tileY = random(2)+1
tileTarget = "tile"+tileX+"-"+tileY
}
}

In the flash file I call the shared object using getRemote and just try to trace it with

ActionScript Code:
monsterObject = SharedObject.getRemote("monsters", netConn.uri, false);
monsterObject.connect(netConn);

monsterObject.onSync = function(list){
trace("monsterSync")
trace(monsterObject.data.monsters)
}

What traces is undefined =/

I am at a loss as to what to do here I am sure I must be either using the wrong syntax or doing things in the wrong order.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Simon

Editing Workgroup Flash Documents (directory Doesn't Exist)
How to solve.

We get a mock flash ad....
We go to edit the images.... either from the timeline or library...
Or double clicking or trying to select "Edit with Fireworks.."

The ending result is always the same...
"The file C:documentsandsettings......" doesn't exist.
which is the other, originating directory..not ours.

You see, the directory seems to be linking to the 1st creative persons computer and not our directory when we try to edit an image.
and everything we try, except swap image, seems to give us an invalid directory.

The only work around so far would be to have them send us the original *PNG files (fireworks) and edit them and then swap?

Surely we must be doing something wrong.

Please advise.

Thanks

Creating New .TXT Files Server-side
Not sure exactly where this should have been posted but never mind :P

What my problem is this:

I have a dynamic login;
code: // Assume AAA is the username and BBB is the password.
// Write password=BBB in AAA.txt and save it.

// Create two textFields and name them as username and pswd.
// Write the following code to the first frame:

username = "";
pswd = "";
stop ();

// Then, write the following to the second frame:

login = username +".txt";
loadVariablesNum (login, 0);

// Create two scenes for the denied and accepted users.
// Let's say scene1 for the denied, scene2 for the accepted users.
// Code for the third frame is:

if (pswd ne password) {
gotoAndPlay ("scene1", 1);
} else if (pswd eq password) {
gotoAndPlay ("scene2", 1);
}
stop ();

// Code for the enter button (with a keyboard event) is:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (username add pswd eq "" add "") {
gotoAndStop ("scene2", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("scene1", 1);
}
}

Think that works.

What I'm looking to do though is create "new users". This means creating new .TXT files on my server. How do I do this? I have no idea where to start.

Regards.

[F8] Loading XML Files Server Side
Currently I am using this code in an actionscript file

Code:
xml.load("file.xml");

I want to make it so that I can load the XML file from my embed code instead of having it in my actionscript file.

Basically I need something like

Code:
<embed src=file.swf xml-file=file.xml></embed>

- file.xml would be loaded the same way as it would be if i was using

Code:
xml.load("file.xml");

Is this possible?

The reason I need this is because I am setting up a user system where each user would be loading a different XML file.

Find Files Without Server-side?
Is there a way to find out how many files there are in a folder, if they´re named like swf1 swf2 swf3 and so on...?

I was thinking something like:

Code:
i=1;
while (swf[i] != undefined or Nan or whatever){

arr_swfs += swf[i];
i++;

}
But I cant figure out a way to do this (except maybe by loading them, but that is not what I want to do)

Is this possible at all, or do I have to run a server-side script to trace them files?

LoadVars With Server Side ActionScript (Flash Com Server)
I'm making a simple login application. I want to send a username/password while connecting to FCS, and have the SSAS of main.asc connect to a PHP document that will lookup the username/pass and make the necessary checks for the information in a mySQL database.

I'm trying to use the LoadVars() object, maybe you can't do this with SSAS? Or maybe i need to include some other actionscript file (I know when you use components you have to specify load("components.asc"); at the top of the main.asc file --- i'm hoping it's something that easy )

This is my first FCS app, I've done a lot of research but this one's sort of stumping me. I keep getting an error that looks like this:

/opt/macromedia/fcs/applications/my_app/main.asc: line 9: ReferenceError: LoadVars is not defined

Here is my code for main.asc:

ActionScript Code:
application.onAppStart = function(){ this.userCount = 0; this.users = [];}application.onConnect = function(thisClient, username, password){ thisClient.username = username; //authentication functions var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars; //line 9 where error happens my_lv.load("http://10.10.1.200/_websites/quickconnect/verify.php?username="+escape(username)+"&password="+escape(password)); my_lv.onLoad = function(success){ if(success == true){ thisClient.username = my_lv.username; thisClient.email = my_lv.email; thisClient.firstname = my_lv.firstname; thisClient.lastname = my_lv.lastname; thisClient.usertype = my_lv.usertype; this.users[this.userCount] = thisClient; this.userCount++; } } //if login is okay //add user to users list this.acceptConnection(thisClient); }

Can AS3 Or XML "read" Files From A Directory?
What I want is for flash to grab files from a directory without knowing what files are there. I dont think it's possible with AS3 but I'm not too sure about XML, and if I can get it into a xml file, then i can ccess it from as3.

The concept might be confusing so an example would be if I had a mp3 player and I wanted to play files from a certain directory but not know what files were in that directory. I would assume XML can "scan" folders for files with a specified exstention and store that information in an array of somesort.

SSAS - Call A Client Side Function From Server Side
Hi all!

I have a problem...
I'm working with FMS and AS3, and i need to call a client side function from a 'server side action script' code and pass through a parameter to the client side function.

To specify the problem:
The application im trying to create is a video communication tool.
The user connects to the server, on the server side the application.onConnect() function runs.
The client gets an id on the server side and i have to pass this 'clientId' through to a client side function, (it needs the clientId parameter) which is sorting the streams.(like this function setStream(clientId){}) The 'clientId' is needed to identify the stream that is captured by the users camera.
Have to visualize 5 streams (5 user connects and sends streams) on each application instance, and i have to know which stream belongs to which user.

For example: I dont want to visualize John to his stream, instead of the other four streams.

I tried with client.call() but it didnt work.

Could anybody please help me, about how to pass variable data and call a client side function from the server side, or how to solve this problem?

Thx a lot!

Container Error, Loading External SWF Still Exist... Please Read
hey guys... ive been cranking for over 10+ hours, and thought i figured the whole thing out but i just ran across a nasty error.

I have 4 flash files. I want to externally load 3 other files to completely change the layout.

Now, the main file has a container located on top of the layout that I have created for the 1st layout.

When I click a button to go to the next external swf (layout), it loads up the next swf file, which takes up the whole layout; basically changes the entire layout, even covering the previous buttons. Exactly what I want it to do.

Now the thing that happens is, once the new layout is up and running perfectly, the buttons from the previous file, are still clickable. You can't see them at all, but the buttons are still clickable when you move the mouse over where they last where on the previous layout.

Examples of code (actionscript) in the Main File on the button

Quote:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "test01";
container.loadMovie("test01.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "test01") {
if (container._currentframe>= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "test01";
container.play();
}
}
}

you can also use this code as well and it still does the same thing...

Quote:

on(release){
container.loadMovie("test01.swf");
}

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or just not adding the correct code. Please help

The problem is that Mozilla, though is supposed to support it does not. MSIE does have the string, and i didin't test any other browser.

Does anyone have a clue what can be done, or another way to detect the plugin at the server side?

Flash Client-side Web Server
Hey There.
I've never used Flash, but I'm investigating some ideas to do with image processing on the client side.

Basically we're implementing a website using AJAX. We're doing a lot of image stretches. Currently, we're using Javascript (well DOM) to do the stretch, but it looks like crap. There's NO antialiasing.

So is there a way to do the following:

1. Have Flash load an image from a URL
2. Flash stretches the image to a size indicated by javascript
3. Flash makes the stretched image available to javascript.

My idea was that Flash acts as a proxy. That is, Javascript 'connects' to a Flash webserver (which is on the clientside) and downloads the image it wants from it. When really, Flash is contacting the real location of the image, stretching the image and then serving it up.

If someone could point me to some documentation that discusses an interface between Flash and Javascript that would be great! Any other ideas or thoughts or whatever would also be appreciated. Even if it doesn't involve Flash!

Thanks.

How To Load Images From Client Side When The Swf Is Hosted On A Server Without Uplaoding It To Server?
I'm trying to build a online image resize tool.
problem i face are:

1. I build a button that allow user to browse the file. Once file is selected, it doesnt show full path.
2. lets say if it shows fullpath, but i try to load it into a movieclip, and it doesnt work because the swf file is located at the server and not the client's place.
3. as far as i know, flash can only load images which is located in the same server or internet.
4. if i use php, asp, cgi.. it can only allow me to 1st upload the image then resize later, but this is not wat i want.
5. I need to 1st resize then upload later, because if i have 100 and more photos taken from digicam, it's going to be very slow and heavy.

What i have tested:
1. upload "image3.jpg" into the same directory as the "viewer.swf", and it works.
2. do not upload the swf to the server, but run locally from the user's computer and open "image3.jpg" and it works.
3. upload the swf to the server and open "image3.jpg" from the user's computer and IT DOESN"T WORK!

please help me out.

Thanks~!

Can Flash Recognize When Asp Server-side Is Ready
I use a thirdparty flashuploader and asp for uploading multiple files to a server at once. This works perfectly. When the uploading is done it redirect to a page which contains multiple records. Only the just uploaded files are not shown. When refreshing the page it shows up.

My question is.

Redirect with flash upload control doesn't work perfect because flash doesn't know when ASP server-side is ready. Is there a control inside flash to recognize when the server-side is ready. The third-party does not give any answer on this.

Server Side Help - Saving Images From Flash
I'm pretty comfortable with troubleshooting complex actionscript, but have yet to dip into server side scripts very far.

Below is what I'm looking for / to be answered:

...you can use the BitmapData class to capture pixel data for an image from a movieclip (Flash 8 only) - but you'll need a server side script to actually save the image...

I've looked through books, flash help, and online... this doesn't appear to be an overly common task (saving images from flash to a server) - not surprised.

keep in mind - This will be ran on my employer's server - I'm gonna say the server is Windows. Not much by the way of tech help at my job.

Thanks - I appologize if this is an issue for a different area of the forum.

Flash And Server-side Java Interaction
If I have a graphic designer who is going to build a Flash front-end that needs to interact with server-side Java code running in a web server (Tomcat), should we be using Flash Remoting with a front-end that the designer creates with the Flash builder? It seems like that would be the easiest way for them to build it rather than having them get into Flex and all that. However, if there's a better way, please point it out to me, because I've never tried using any of these Adobe products. Thanks...
