Passing Session Variable To FLASH, Evaluating, Then Altering The Session
I started a thread in the sounds and audio section and got some good suggestions from hp3 (mod) there. He suggested I move my questions here...

the task: read 2 session variables into FLASH, evaluate them in an if loop of some kind, and be able to rewrite the session variable with an onClick even for a button.

I want to be able to control the "state" of a soundtrack in a site that uses FLASH just as the navigation. I have the sound track built and the on off controls work fine (loads and unloads the movie to layer 1). The problem is that when you move fron HTML page to HTML page, your choices don't persist.

Every page in the site is ASP/VBSCRIPT, so using a Session variable is not a problem. I just need to know HOW.

I was told I need to pass the varible in through the embed src tag:

<embed src="controlpanel.swf?VAR1=VAL1&VAR2=VAL2" loop="false" etc etc

actually...

<embed src="controlpanel.swf?STATE=<%=Session("STATE")%>& TRACK=<%=Session("TRACK")%>" loop="false" etc etc

sound right so far? OK..easy enough. Now how do I read that querystring value into a FLASH AND then how do I evaluate it?

Is it as simple as Request.Querystring("STATE")?

FlashVariable1 = Request.Querystring("STATE")

Is there some loadvarible method for doing this? In the end, I want the first frame of the movie to do this:

1. get the variables STATE & TRACK from the embem src tag
2. evaluate the variables and do accordingly:

if FlashVariable1 = "ON" then
if FlashVariable2 = 1 then
load track1.swf into layer 1
else if FlashVariable2 = 2 then
load track2.swf into layer 2
else don't play the music
end if

3. when the user clicks the off button or selects a different track, write that back to the server side session variable:

onclick
unloadmovie from level 1 (killing the audio)
set Session("VAR1") = "OFF"

or for track selection...

onclick
loadmovie trackX.swf into layer 1
set Session("VAR1") = "ON"
set Session("VAR2") = "TRACK2"

Then, when the user moves to the next HTML (actually ASP) page, the embed tag uses the new session variable values and passes them into FLASH so that they can be evaluate once more.

Sound right? now HOW? That's the question. Your help is SUPREMELY appreciated!!

Thanks all

Bizarre Flash Breaking ... I'm Also Reaching Breaking Point...
Hi all,

I did a little Flash project a while ago:

http://www.theproblemofnothing.com

I just visited it recently here at work, on Firefox v. 2.0.0.2, and after loading the icons, it broke. Stopped dead. Yet it works on this comp on IE7. I tried another computer at work, and it worked in Firefox, but not in IE7 ... ? Bizarre. I'm posting this in the Actionscript section as I'm using lmctween.as, and I think that might be the issue.

Another issue that might be complicating things is my use of SWFObject for the main movie, and then loading SWF files externally into that movie. Or it might be the preloader I'm using and how I'm using it (eg. _root, etc.) Or something else.

I dunno guys. Everyone here's baffled. I'm sad. Please help! The site is above, and the FLAs can be found here:

http://www.theproblemofnothing.com/_fla

tpon.fla is the main movie, while art.fla is what I used to generate each file. Thanks a ton, and ... thanks!

Sincerely,
Mark (decisionman).

Filereference Session/cookie Problem..is It Secured To Send Session Id Explicitly?
hi, i am using fancyupload(combination of flash upload(file reference) and javascript).. the problem with file reference is that it doesn't send cookies and sessions to the upload script but i need to do authentication in the upload script to prevent any illegal uploads....

i read that session id must be sent to the upload script... but i wanna know if it is a security issue to send session id explicitly like this...

the fancy upload operates by giving the url through the javascript so basically i need to append the session id to the url making visible to the public.... so is there any harm that can be made if this session id is seen by everybody.... i read somewhere that this can be a risk for CSRF(cross site request forgery)??

is there a more secure method to do it??

and another question this how i wanted to do my upload

- load my php page where the upload form is found.... (i create a $_SESSION['upload_allowed']
- then i append the session id to the url of the upload script (e.g. "/includes/upload.php?PHPSSID=".session_id()
- when a user uploads a file....the flash uploads the file and calls the script upload.php?PHPSSID=1231231313
- the upload.php checks if $_SESSION['upload_allowed'] is found and allows the copy the file if it is found...

i wanna know something... i create a session $_SESSION['upload_allowed']... the flash uploads a big file(say it takes 1hr)..... and after the upload is complete, it calls upload.php.... but what if the session lifetime is less than 1hr.... the upload will fails isn't it??

when does the flash actually calls upload.php, when upload is complete(to temporary file) or at the start of upload??? i am confused with this

srry for such a long history...

The visitor going to surf around the site can maybe come back to the flash and the visitor is going to see the button (The flash have already play one time before)

If the visitor close the browser I whant that session to disappear so if the visitor visit the page again immediate the movie i play automatic and then again save the session so the movie dont show again so long the visitor is there and dont have close the browser.

The page that flash is going to be is a clean HTML so no ASP/PHP/Javascript


I going to be very happy if someone can help me whit this problem

(Sorry if that is hard to read my messenger, I'm not so good to write english)

Using Session Variables With Flash
I have a flash navigation that will be included into several different .html, .php files. The customer I am building the site for doesn't want a full flash site because of price, but rather wants a hybrid site. Anyway, the way I have it now, the navigation loads when you get to the index page. From there if they click a button and say it goes to music.php, this page contains the exact same nav_loader.swf which loads nav.swf into level 0. How do I get it to not show the loader file if it was already loaded in the index.php and is now cached?

You can see what I mean by going to http://66.195.17.117/~movingto/ and clicking the home and music buttons only.

Thanks for your help.

Flash And Session Info
Hi

I am developing a backend in Java and using Flash as the front end. The Flash application requires that the user logs in. To do this I get the session info and store it in the flash and pass is back as JSESSIONID=xxxxx to each url that is loaded. THis works fine in a browser window. Howe if I need to debug in the FLASH ide this doesn't workas the browser seems to ignore the session info being passed.

Is there a way to get around this?

Using PHP Session Variables In Flash...
Hi guys, im writing a football manager game in PHP/mySQL and FLASH/AS..

at the moment...
a user can select 6 players for their team
enter an 8 team tournament
view there first fixture.

this is all achieved using php..

for the actual matchplay for the fixture i want to take the variables created in php into flash.... and then produce a dynamic animation....

i have played around with gettin php variables into flash and have so far been successful, however.. it doesnt seem to like it when i used SESSION variables??? This is quite a large problem as most of my queries depend upon session variables....

the variables i need to use are ...

$gameid = $_SESSION['gameid'];
$teamid = $_SESSION['teamid'];

I also get a lot of errors when having session_start(); at the top of my php page...


Does anyone know how to get round this problem???

thanx in advance

Flash And PHP Session Issue
Hi there! Does anyone know how flash deals with PHP sessions? I have a flash input text box , converted to a MC with the instance name form, and heres the code for when the submit button, named 'moveon', is hit:


ActionScript Code:
moveon.onRelease = function ()
{
    if (email.text == "")
    {
        trace("Invalid Email");
    }
    else
    {
        form.loadVariables("emailLoader.php", "POST");
        play();
    }
}

Here's the php script:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['emailAddr'] = $_POST['emailAddr'];
$to = "my email address";
$subject = "tester";
$message = "Customer Email: ".$_SESSION['emailAddr'];
mail( $to, $subject, $message ) or print "Could not send mail";
?>

So this part works. It starts the session, stores the var in the session array, and then mails it to me. Then once the people enter their email address in the flash site, it takes them to an upload area where they can upload a file from their computer. The uploading part works fine, I use FileReference and call a second php script:


ActionScript Code:
file.upload("fileUpload2.php");

And here's the PHP script for that one

<?php
session_start();
$source = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$target = "uploadedFiles/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($source, $target);
$subject = "SFP: A new file has been UPLOADED";
$message = "A new file, ".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']." , has been uploaded.

";
$message .= "Download: http://www.mywebsite.com/".$target."

";
if (isset($_SESSION['emailAddr']))
{
$message .= "Customer Email: ".$_SESSION['emailAddr'];
}
else
{
$message .= "EMAIL IS NOT SET IN PHP SESSION!";
}
$to = "myemail";
mail( $to, $subject, $message ) or print "Could not send mail";
?>

So it checks if that session is set, and its not, I get the return of that else statement in my email. I was wondering if maybe Flash destroys PHP sessions prematurely. It's set in php.ini so that the session is destroyed when the browser is restarted, but I was thinking maybe Flash does funny things. Any ideas? Cheers

Session Persistence With Flash RPC
Hi,

I am integrating a flash front end using remoting to make RPCs to a J2EE business delegate at the same time as having other pages created by JSP pages.

Without using cookies I am looking for a way to maintain session persistence. I want to do this at the server end, i.e. I want the http session ID. so that I can go from a swf to static html pages without losing session objects.

It is my understanding that when using the flash file however that at each instance it creates a new session, for example if someone followed a link out of the movie, and then navigated back it would create a new session.

At the moment I am getting around this using a login to identify a user and have a session ID stored in a DB. However I feel that this is an inelegant solution and does not allow me to have to separate flash RIA movies with html pages inbetween when I only want to display static content.

I know the flash gateway servlet creates a JSESSIONID but it only passes this forward to the movie on the client so that subsequent requests can use it. However with the RPC I do not appear to be able to get this on the server side or find anyway of being able to stay in the same session when a request for the swf is made as it creates a new session for the new movie!!!

Can anyone help me at all? I realise that it is possible with cookies but do not wish to use these... Thankyou to anyone who can take the time to answer this.

[FLA+PHP] How To Set A Session Variable From Flash?
Hi all,

I have an intro page created in flash that ends with the language
choice using two or more buttons (english - italian ...).

Every button should set the session variable 'language' to the related
language (the italian button should set it to 'IT'; the english button
should set it to 'UK').

Then the whole site is developed using PHP and every page reads the
session variable 'language' to display the right texts/images.

I'm able to set the session variable in a php page, but I'm not able
to set this variable in the flash movie.

Is there a tutorial or manual to read?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Can Flash Use Session Variables?
hey guys,

I've created an html/asp web page with a standard form that asks the user to enter their "username". When the user does this and clicks submit, he is taken to another html page that contains a flash movie. I want this flash movie to display the "username" entered on the previous page.

I figure, I can make the username a session variable and then have the flash movie reference it. Is this possible? What would the actionscript look like?

Thank-you very much!

Flash And ASP Session Connectivity?
I am trying to have some connectivity between flash and a session object in asp.

Basically my aim is:-

When the user first enters the page they see the flash as per normal. Keeping withing the same browser window if they return to the home page what they then see is the flash animation at a particular frame, and not played from the start as previously.

Apparently the way to do this is as follows:


ActionScript Code:
flashLoaded = new LoadVars();flashLoaded.onLoad=function(success){        if(success)        {                if(this["flash"]=="true")                {                        gotoAndStop(5);                }                else                {                        gotoAndPlay(2);                }        }}flashLoaded.load("default.asp");


and the ASP side of things is as follows:-


Code:

session("flash") = true
I cannot get this to work, and have no idea what I am doing wrong, anyone looking at the code is this correct and any ideas as to why it does not work. I don't wish to append the querystring, because that is not the best approach in my opinion and surely there is a better method??

Please help me out here

Passing Session Variables Into Flash
I'm building a login scheme that uses PHP sessions to pass the key variables (i.e. $login and $password).

Typically, I can easily pass variables into flash movies by calling the PHP scripts via LoadVarNum and using print to send them back.

However, this situation is a little different since the php session commands are actually part of the url that contains the embedded .swf. I have determined that the needed variables are in fact making it to the top level url but not into the .swf.

Does anyone know of an alternative way to pass the variables into the .swf (besides populating them into header since that would reveal the info in the link)???

I'm thinking that there may be an option in the embed command or something.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

PHP/Flash How To Send Session Variables
I have a database that requires unique logins and that works in flash. I have another part that opens a pop up window (html) to view account info. **The problem is that I can not get flash to send the session variable so they can view account info.

I do not want to have another round of logins at this point so how do I get flash to send the session var. By the way I know flash is getting the var because I have done testing and have traced test variables. Here is the smartclip code below.

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.open('"add url add"?session','"add winName add"','width="add winW add",height="add winH add",scrollbars=1, top='+((screen.height/2)-(" add winH/2 add "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" add winW/2 add "))); void(0);");
}

the session variable name is 'session' so where does the
?session go becuase I have tried every concievable placement.


Thanks in advance

Using Flash Menus / ASP Session Variables
I'm going to try and explain this the best I can...

Here we go...

I'm using a Flash MX menu to navigate a company Intranet. When a user logs into the Intranet, an ASP script sets Session variables so that other pages can detect if a user is logged in. All of the pages of the Intranet are set up to kick back to the login screen if these Session variables are not set. When navigating with the Flash Menu, the Session variables do not carry to the next page (even if they are ALREADY SET).

I'm using the getURL(link) actionscript command...

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to make these Session variables carry over after a call to getURL() or if there is another ActionScript command that could be used?

Thanks for the help,

Sharing Flash Session With Browser
I have seen some workarounds for this but none work for me. For some inane reason Flash loads cookies from Internet Explorer even when I use firefox. Specifically I am using Flash to upload files. On the server I use ACEGI with Java Servlets. I have tried the method of sending the cookies on the Querystring, but java does not read cookies from there (go figure, that isn't where they should be anyway), I have also tried to send the sessionid on the querystring but ACEGI isn't recognizing it. As a result all uploads fail in non-internet explorer browsers.

Does anyone else have other solutions? Even stupid ones would be appreciated.

Output From Flash To Session Cookies
Hi,

I'm a newbie as far as Flash is concerned. My background is coding dynamic ASP 3.0 with ODBC connection to Access databases. I have a number of educational programmes written in Flash that I want to be able to track the progress of the student through each scene so I can provide advanced reporting.

I am hoping the simplest solution ( not necessarily the best) is to get each scene to write to the session cookie. I can use the Global.asa file Session.end event to capture the output to write to a database. I would like to write several variables for each scene - course name, scene number, date & time.

All help appreciated

Calling ASP.NET Session Value From Flash Via WebService
i'm calling a ASP.NET webservice method from flash to get specified ASP.NET session value.

The error i'm getting is:
Error opening URL "http://.......asmx"
Server.Connection
Unable to connect to endpoint: http://.......asmx
undefined

Notes:
1)You can come up with the idea controlling the url, i did it in ie address bar, it works.

2)You can come up with the idea that the session was not created, but i already do not test the codes in FLA mode by TestMovie.
FLA is published as swf, and it is in a container aspx page on the server.
And there is a login aspx page before accessing to this page. Here, if user infos are correct, specific session labels with values are
created and the user is redirected to this page. When flash loads, i call the webservice to get the Session value i desire(username).
For testing there's also an asp.net button where the swf exists, calling the same web service method. When i click it, the value
i desire returns back to me.
But when flash calls it, i get the error mentioned above.

My trouble is getting this server session value into a flash variable, and go on in presence.

Play Flash Movie Once Per Visitor Session...
Hello,
I have a Flash movie that plays once on the home page of my website, then stops. My visitors frequently return to the home page, and I don't want them to be bothered by the same animation over and over again (personally, I know I would get distracted).

Ideally, is there some kind of cookie that can be generated inside or outside of Flash that will only play the movie once per visitor session? So when a visitor returns to the home page, they just see the last frame of the stopped movie...

Any assistance provided would be appreciated!

P.S. I am developing in Flash 5

Breaking Down A Large Flash
I have a family tree site that is getting really big. I want to break it into several small flash files and load them into a master flash movie. I’m thinking this will make editing easier too. Is this possible? Once I have my smaller flash files how do I go about putting them into one seamless large flash piece?

Flash On New Server Breaking
Hi all

We have this series of Flash files, created by an external developer, that passes a series of variables using FlashVars, so it can load these external elements, like pictures and text and a config file.

Currently, everything works fine. But we're upgrading servers and when we move all these Flash files to the new server, its breaking.

What's happening is that the Flash will begin its load process, and when it gets to loading the config file, which is one of the external files, it can't seem to find it. Even though the folder structure hasn't changed, and all the files are present and accounted for.

At this point, the only thing I can think of that might be a problem is that its using FlashVars to pass an HTTP Query String, and maybe something isn't quite exactly the same. Other than that, I don't know.

If anyone has any advice or answers, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks again
Chris

Breaking Down Flash File
G'day,

I am trying to convert a flash website into a static html website. To do this I've saved the flash web pages to hard disk and I want to be able to open up the flash files to get all the photo's out.

I am trying to open a flash file in flash, but when I do it simply plays. How do I access the insides of a flash file please?

Thanks

Ray

[F8] Test Loadvars From Flash Authoring Tool With Session?
Hi.
Im often working with the loadvars to send and load data betwen the database and the flash application. Thats no problem
when I run the flash from the Flash authoring tool and the connection to the aspx which handles the databaseconnection not is secured with a password( mostly session or cookie based security).
But when the page is secured and u need to login befor u can connect to the page (for example a web community) i cant test and debug from within Flash authoring tool. It seem as even if i login in a browser and then hit the test movie(ctrl+enter) in flash it doesnt recognise the session. The only solution i found is to copy and run the swf on a webserver to test and debug, but when doing a lot of testing this copy,paste, test in browser job gets really annoying.

Is there anyone who has a solution to this problem?
I would be really thankful for an answer.
Im using flash 8 proffesional

Make Aspx Receive Session Variables From Flash
First post made by me

i have a flash starter page which has a menu for selecting the language / country. the link contains two session variables ('language' and 'cid') which is to be passed into an aspx page as a cookie. problem is, flash does not pass the variable. i had read this post, but this is exactly the opposite of what im trying to do.
