Flash :: Get Variables From HTML Form

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Flash To Html Page
Hi,

I have a html/flash site now, http://www.zachariack.com.

i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire
<form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window.

now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

<form name="form1" action="http://www.accudatanet.com/mail/msglist.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name=sid value="E9697301F704A0CE947DEF42CF86636A">
<input type=text size=15 name=f_user value="">
<input type=hidden name=six value=0>
<input type=password size=15 name="f_pass">
<input type=submit name=submit value="Login >>" class="button">
</form>

how do i implement the above using action scripting. thanks.

regards,
vasant

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Html To Flash

I need some help passing a html code to flash code. Maybe you guys can set some light on the subject.

Passing Variables From Flash To HTML Form List
Hello and yes, I am stuck again.

So, here's my dilemma...
I have an HTML page with a form on the right hand side of the page and an embedded SWF on the left. Upon pressing a button with the SWF, I want to send a variable to the HTML form, to a list box. I've worked with the Javascript Integration Kit from the Expert Tutorial in the Flash 5 Bible and I don't see anything about it in the Flash MX Bible. Does anyone know how to do this?

The code I used in Flash was this:
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:FDK_AddValueToList('frmindex/selmy', 'Rogers Park', 'Rogers Park', "1'");
}

Then in Dreamweaver, I entered the this code (it isn't PHP. I couldn't get the code to show up any other way):

Any ideas?

Thanks,

PHP Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

Flash Form Question : Sending HTML Form Values...
I'm trying to create a flash form version of an HTML form. It's basically just a voting drop down menu - user chooses "Yes", "no","maybe" from teh drop down and hits a submit buttons which would send the results to a CGI script though POST. I understand the submission aspect, but am not sure how to assign values to the drop down in the same way HTML does:

<option value="yes">
<option value="no>
...

Do I just set the combo box Data array to [yes,no,maybe]? If so, how is it to be sent?

thanks

Pass Variable Form HTML Form To Flash
Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to send what the user selects from a HTML drop-down menu to the Flash movie.

In this scenario, the user picks an email address from a drop-down list and this is sent to flash as a variable called 'eaddress' which is eventually used in the flash movie to send a message to this address.

Any help is much appreciated!

Flash Form Vs HTML Form
Hello Peoples,

The following HTML code produces a button that when clicked sends the user to my online credit card processor's site where the user can proceed with a transaction.

----------HTML CODE----------
<form action='https://www.casher.com/buyer/purchase' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='dis' value='435532' >
<input type='hidden' name='quantity' value='1' >
<input type='hidden' name='product_id' value='1' >
<input name="submit" type='submit' value='Click to pay thru casher.com' >
</form>
----------HTML CODE----------

So my question is: If I want to use a button in a flash piece to do the same thing as the above HTML button, what code do I apply to the button in flash ?

Thanks,
Reflex.

Variables, Mc's And A Form
I've modified a feedback form to use on a site. I've got it working fine on its own. However, it doesn't work when I place it in the movie clip I want it to live in. I figure that it's got something to do with variables and how I'm calling them, but I'm not quite sure what to change and how to change it. Would the name of the movie clip replace "root"? Gah!

Here's the FLA (45k) for the form on its own:
http://www.redlonpark.com/flash/this...orksdamnit.fla

I hope someone can help!

Thanks

Form Variables
I'm using this script for my form:

PHP Code:

<?php
/***************************************************
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
* http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
***************************************************/

// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email.  This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be.  It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to.  This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.

$sendTo = "me@mywebsite.com";
$subject = "FORM RESPONSE (flashform)";

// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method.  $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method.  From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.

// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable.  First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">
";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "
";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own.  The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable
$message = $_POST["message"];

// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

My actioncode is:

Code:
on(rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on(rollOut, releaseOutside){
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on(release) {
//_parent.t1_2="";
_parent.t2_2="your name";
_parent.t3_2="e-mail";
_parent.t4_2="phone";
_parent.t5_2="";
_parent.t6_2="comments";
}
and

Code:
on(rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on(rollOut, releaseOutside){
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on(release) {
getURL("submit.php");
}
The form is sending me emails but all of the fields are blank. No from, subject or comments. My POST commands are obviously wrong. What is it that I shpould put in the POST commands?

The next thing is upon hitting the submit button, the swf goes white (completely blank frame). I'd like to redirect to a new frame in my movie, but am not sure how.

I expect it's a simple fix --- but I'm lost!
Can anyone please instruct me?

Thanks.

Form Variables?
I have a simple asp mail form that I use to send info to multiple recipients, using code such as:

<input type="text" name="to" value="Address1@domin.com">
<input type="text" name="to" value="Address2@domin.com">
<input type="text" name="to" value="Address3@domin.com">

That snippet will send the information to all 3 addresses...

I can get flash to work, however, it will only send to one address!

var to=("Address1@domin.com", "Address2@domin.com", "Address3@domin.com")

only sends the info to Address3!

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Variables In A Form E-mail
Dear people at Flashkit,

I think this is a very cool site, it's always been a great help for me. And I think the Forum will be just as great.
I need a little help with a form. Here's the situation:

I have a website, on one of the pages, its is possible to buy a product, when you click on the "Buy" button, you go to a Form,
were you can fill in your name,adress,email,articlenumber etc.
The e-mail then is being send to the owner of the site, and the customer gets a confirm mail, that he's order will be processed.
The thing I want to get to work is this:

All product have an articlenumber, What I want is that when the costumer clicks the "Buy" button and goes to the form, that the articlenumber is already filled in the input textfield for "Articlenumber"

I hope someone can help me, and Im very glad to be part of this forum, and hope to help you guys out to sometimes

Greeting,

Raphael

Generating A Form From Asp Variables
Hello there..
I have a DB that is called from asp, this sends 3 variables to my flash reservation movie(for a restaurant)
1. variable is when does the restaurant open this day
2. variable is how many hours they are open(from the time variable 1 gives)
3. an arry(12,34,56,78,65) that tells how many free tables in hour1 hour2 hour3 and so on....(can I even use loadVariablesNum to get arrays from asp?)

all this is retrieved and calculated from db and asp...

My question...
how can I take these variables and generate(maybe with components)
a "calender like list" that starts with deciding how many
"boxes" (variable2) flash should generate.
then sets the start time(vaiable1)and generates the hours of the day accordingly. ex. flash is told that the shop is open 5 hours this day it then makes 5 boxes on top of each other(a list) then flash is told when they open ex. 8 o´clock it then writes "8-9 o´clock" next to the first box and "9-10 o´clock" next to the next box and so on for as many hours as the shop is open..then at last it should take variable 3 and type in the boxes how many free tables that are for each hour...alot I know , if any of you guru´s have an idea I would be very happy, think I just need a little help getting started, also if you think you know what I mean but is in doubt then please ask its a bit hard to explain all this without it sounding a bit confusing...

Thanks

Passing Variables In Form Thru PHP
I am making my first form in Flash 5. It comprises of several one line text fields (subject, first_name, last_name, company, country, city, area of interest, email) and a multi-line text field (comments). I read through the tutorial at http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials.shtml - intermediate level, tutorial 06 (PHP mail form in Flash)and I spent quite a bit of time unsuccessfully trying to adapt this code to my form;
I altered the script that gos into the PHP document by writing the following and saving it as a PHP3 file:

PHP Code:

<?php

PHP Code:

mail("visuallyinclined@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $first_name, $last_name, $company , $country, $city, $discipline,"From: PHPMailer
Reply-To: $from
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

I created my own form, including the text input fields in my first frame, naming the input text fields by their corresponding variables listed above (subject, first_name etc...). - and placed the thank you confirmation in the second frame. I also copied his exact script (top of page http://www.actionscripts.org/tutoria...l/index3.shtml) into my first frame
and the button actionscript (bottom of page http://www.actionscripts.org/tutoria...l/index3.shtml) was similarly attached to my button. I place the PHP file in the same location as my Flash file

the 3 problems are the following:
1. I am not receiving email.
2. When the user fills out the last field in my form, the writing is illegible.
3 In some fields the writing is bold, in others, it isn't.
4. The confirmation page works erratically

Can someone please please PLEASE take a look at my file and tell me what the problem is. The site is www.lv-em.com/form.html. I've attached my .fla for your review.

Thank you in advance!

Flash Form Variables In URL
I have a login form I made in Flash (MX 2004), and am running into a little problem. Whenever I submit the form, it posts the variables in the URL. The one field is a password, so I can't have that showing up.

Code for the submit button:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
formData = new LoadVars();
formData.user = username_txt.text;
formData.pass = password_txt.text;
formData.loadVariables
formData.send("http://www.mysite.com/flash_submit.php", "POST");
}
The variables get passed correctly, but the URL looks like:

HTML Code:
http://www.mysite.com/flash_submit.php?username=myusername&password=mypassword
I figured using POST rather than GET would solve that problem, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've tried getURL with POST too, and it does the same thing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sending Form Variables Via AS3
I'm trying to write the AS3 code to send information to PayPal when someone clicks on a "buy" link. The code I have written so far is attached. Basically, I have a button on the stage (buy_btn). I've set up an event listener for it that runs a function called "buycd" when it is clicked. I need to send two variables: "cmd" and "encrypted." Flash says there are no errors in the code and the file plays fine. But when I click on the button I get this error:

Error opening URL 'https://www.paypal.com'
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://www.paypal.com
at facewithpaypal_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Any advice or help as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Attach Code

this.buy_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buycd);

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

variables.cmd = "_s-xclick";
variables.encrypted = "someinfo";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = "https://www.paypal.com";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

function buycd(event:MouseEvent):void {
loader.load(request);
}

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.

Variables Not Being Passed From Form...
Hello,

There is a contact form which when submitted is not sending the user input.

Here is the url using the $_GET method (notice there is no value for your_name, your_email and message):

Code:

http://www.camelotandalusians.com/tim/contact.php?server_option=php&recipient=mousel@defend.net&your_name=&your_email=&message=&url%5Fvar=server%5Foption%3Dphp%26recipient%3Dmousel%40defend%2Enet%26your%5Fname%3D%26your%5Femail% 3D%26message%3D

Here is the actionscript that appears to be responsible:

PHP Code:

on(release) {
    url_var = "server_option="+_root.server_option+"&recipient="+_root.recipient+"&your_name="+_parent.your_name+"&your_email="+_parent.your_email+"&message="+_parent.message;
    getURL("contact."+_root.server_option+"?"+url_var, "_blank", "GET");
    _parent.your_name = "";
    _parent.your_email = "";
    _parent.message = "";
}

I'm helping a friend to get this working yet I know virtually nothing about flash. Could someone give me some advise? Or, if someone could fix this I'm sure she'd be willing to pay for some help.

Thanks,

Tim

Loading Variables Form A *.txt File
Is it possible to load a line in a .txt file into a flash movie ? Lets say I create a dynamic text field and when the movie is loaded, the text will be loaded from a txt file?

External Variables Form Txt File
I allready know how to load external variables (from a txt file) into a flash-movie, but i can only see them when placed directly in a dynamic text field. Now, i want to use those variables in a different way, but nothing works. I can't put them in an array, i can't put them in a different variable,...

what am i doing wrong?

Form Variables And ASP Flash Forms
Hi everyone,

Ok pulling myhair out, please help. What I am trying to do is pass multiple form variables that are embedded in various MCs from a single 'submit' button. I have sorted the reset button by simply using dot syntax.

The problem seems to be that each form element is an MC within another MC and then an 'input' text box. The MC's bounce into view by using the following code:

onClipEvent (load) {
acc = 8;
friction = 1.5;
dest_x = 0;
dest_y = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = _x;
y = _y;
dx = (dx+(dest_x-x)/acc)/friction;
dy = (dy+(dest_y-y)/acc)/friction;
new_x += dx;
new_y += dy;
_x = new_x;
_y = new_y;
}

When the submit button is pressed the only variables sent are those that are set in the above code and not those of each form element. The code I am using on the submit button is:

on (release) {
loadVariables ("richard_1.asp", "", "POST");
}

The ASP code is:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%

objMail.To = "info@hendersonwebdesign.com"
objMail.CC = ""
objMail.BCC = ""
objMail.Subject = "Website enquiry"
objMail.Body = mail_Body

objMail.Send()

%>

If this makes sense can anyone of you gurus suggest anything.

Please help.

Load Variables From Form To Email
i have a form that i want to send to an email address instead of a url. is this possible?

Passing Variables Form One Movie To An Other
I have a Flash-movie with a variable. I want to load this variable into another movie. How can i do this in Flash 4?

Using Components To Pass Form Variables
How do you use components to pass variables to a loadvariablesnum function calling a cgi-script?

I have a premade cgi-script and when using HTML I would have the following form elements;

<input type=text name=keywords>
<input type=checkbox name=engine1>
<input type=checkbox name=engine2>
<input type=checkbox name=engine3>
<input type="radio" name="method" value="0">
<input type="radio" name="method" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="method" value="2">

Now when I attach the function to a push button I want it to pass a variable for each/or option selected. The cgi script checks for "<input type="checkbox"> and loads the name value as an array to run another sub-routine.

At the moment I am happy to show the results in a new window(html) and then look at passing the results back into flash.

Also are there any tutorials on using flash and external pre-made cgi-scripts.

Variables Displaying In Form Fields - Help
I have designed a form in Flash, using tab indexing to tab between fields. This requires the text fields to have instance names.

I have also given each field a variable name so I can understand the emailed form.

When you view the form with both variable name and instance name the level number and instance name are showing in the field.

Is there a way to stop this happening so that the form fields are blank upon viewing tha page.

ALSO...

Does anyone know if you can set focus to the initial field, and also get the tab indexing to work as well. They don't seem to work together.

The code I'm using for the tab indexing is:

instanceoffield.tabIndex = 1;
instanceoffield.tabIndex = 2;
instanceoffield.tabIndex = 3;

etc.

Thanks

F5 Interactive Form - AS Variables Question
I'm using Flash 5 to make a registration form using PHP/MySQL. I have 3 buttons on my main menu: subscribe, edit, remove (user subscription data). I'm using a switch statement on the back end based on the value of the variable named "action". The button pressed determines what the value of "action" will be when it is POST'd to process.php.

Here is the problem: I've noticed that if I register (AS sets action="subscribe"), try to register again, then try to edit my data (AS sets action="edit") the action STILL ="subscribe". How can I set the variable to the new value? I'm just trying to make my form as stupid-user proof as possible, but right now I'm the one feeling dumb.

The .fla in question is attached if you'd like to see it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Having a mental block day today. I am trying to load 2 variables from a .txt file. These variables are displaying in separate dynamic text boxes that are using the instance names "titleField" and "descriptorField" and variable names "titleText" and "descriptorText" respectively.

This is the code I am trying to use:
//Load variables from text file
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("descriptor.txt");
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
titleField.htmlText=myLoadVar.titleText;
descriptorField.htmlText=myLoadVar.descriptorText;
}
}

This is contents of my text file:
titleText=This is the title &

Contact Form: 2 Problems With Variables
hello,

in flash 7 i made a contact form following this tutorial:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-778/index.php

and the form alone works so far. but when i have a few movies loaded into different levels something goes wrong. there are a few mandatory fields which are checked. alone the movie does it right but in a level it doesn't get if the fields are filled or not. there is always the error message to fill the 1st mandatory field. i guess this is not only a problem of checking the fields but also of receiving the data at all - i think it gets lost somewhere?
i tried something like this:
instead of formData.email i wrote _level100.formData.email or _root.formData.email. but this didnt help.

i am also not shure about variables to send the form data to a cgi server. there was no hint in the tutorial. i tried this:
set ("recipient", "birgitking@gmx.net");
set ("subject", "Mitteilung aus Kontaktformular");
set ("print_config", "formData.email");
maybe someone can tell me if this is right??

if you need i can send you my fla file. but as it is not in english you should better view the example file from the tutorial (there is no mistake in my code - the example file behaves the same, i checked this..). i enclosed it.

thanks for helping.

Checkbox Variables In An Email Form
I have a info form set up in flash on my site that connects to a php file on my server in the usual way - then firing off an email to me. I have text boxes working fine into the email.
My problem is that I have a checkbox on the form and although it is sending a value to the email it is not diferentiating between 'True' and 'False'
On my submit button in flash I have the following

on (release) {if (checkboxname.getvalue()==true) {
info = "yes";
} else {
info = "no";
}

...followed by all the other action script that seems to work

and on the php file I am calling the "info" variable into the email body like so...

Sender Wants More Info: $info
";

as I say at the moment it doesn't make any difference if the box is checked or not, I always get a "no" get variable in the email.

If i switch it to...

info = "no";
} else {
info = "yes";
}

I always get a "yes" variable so it is seems to be taking the last definition of the variable from the code and passing that on.

Can anybody help please
Thanks a lot

Form Problem : Loading Variables
Hi, I've been searching the forums for a couple of days now and haven't found an answer yet.

I used a tutorial from Kirupa (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm) to create my form, downloaded their sample form and copied the AS and everything. My only problem is getting the variables to be sent when you click the send button. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is because my particular form is being loaded into another Flash movie using:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("content/form.swf", 2);
}
I wanted it to behave sort of like a pop-up. So I think that the reason may be that the Kirupa form is stand-alone and mine is a movie loaded into another level.

I can't find a remedy to that problem. If anyone is familiar with the method used on Kirupa and can tell me where I might need to vary because of my method, can you help me out on this.

Here is the link to the flash movie:
http://www.yumemedia.com/ym_designs.php
click on the 'Contact Us' button (the sound is loud, I will change it)
click on 'Request A Quote' and the form I am speaking of will pop-up. Let me know if you need the original FLA. I am using MX 2004.

Thank you in advance.

Flash MX 2004 Form Variables
I have a flash form that contains a drop down menu that list's 4 variables.
The dropdown menu is not passing it's selected variable to the rest of the form.

This is a simple form that I downloaded and modified. See form at:
http://codewalkers.com/tutorials.php?show=11

The original form was created in an earlier version of flash.
This drop down part of the form uses: /: before the drop down menu's variable names.
I guess this tells flash that the drop down menu is on a different level. It's actualy a movie clip on a layer above the rest of the form.

I am using Flash MX 2004 and: /: before the drop down menu's variable names will not work.

What do I replace /: with in Flash MX 2004 to make the drop down menu work?

If anyone has an answer...please let me know.

Thanks Scott
