Retrieve Data From POST
Seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I'm having some trouble. I have an HTML form on an admin page that POSTs variables r1,r2,r3...,rN that have intergers as values. The action page for the form is a review page (so administrator can confirm input before committing to a DB) that I'd like to simulate the actual user accessible page. The user page has a flash piece which draws it's data from the DB. So I want the administrator's review page to draw it's data from the form's POSTDATA, not the DB, since the DB isn't actually updated yet when viewing the review page. Can a .swf load from it's own pages existing POSTDATA. If so how.

Thanks for your input.

Flash Caching My Data Retrieve
Hello.
I have a Flash file that calls every certain time to check data from a MySQL table in order to update the display in the flash movie.
The problem is that Flash always shows the old data...is caching them...
The only solution i have at this moment is to erase temporary files at the browser....
Anyone has a good solution for this???

(This is the actionascript code i put in the update frame) :

data=new LoadVars();
data.onLoad=function(success){
if(success){

for(j=1; j<36; j++){

if (this["status"+j]==1){
table["mode"+j]=1;
} else {
table["mode"+j]=0;
}

}
gotoAndStop("showdata");

}

}

data.load("get_data.php");

stop();

Retrieve Data From Databases For Combo Box In Flash
Dears,

Now I have to build a Combo Box in Flash so that users
can select data from a pop-up list (that would be an
array). The contents of this array should come from a
database.

I have the idea:
First, I have to yield data from the database and then
store them in the array within a (.jsp) file.
Second, Flash then retrieve data from the (.jsp) file.
I have the concept to make combo box in flash.

My questions are:
(1) Can Flash read data from (.jsp) file instead of read data from a text file?
(2) if yes, how to make the (.fla) file retrieve data from the database?

Actually, I have to thank Gareth's suggestions.
Anyone can give me some more suggestions?

Thank you.

Retrieve Data From MySQL And Show In Flash
Hi.

Before I start, I will say that I have searched these forums, Flash Kit and Google, but every tutorial I get is really complicated. I have done this before, but cannot remember how.

I have a database, and I just want flash to connect up to it and retrieve 4 values [id, date, venue & city]. I then want these shown in a flash movie. There is more than 1 record in the DB, but I will be limiting the results to 1 that is = or > than todays date.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, or point me somewhere that will.

I do not need the flash movie to insert info to the datbase.

Thanks

Write And Retrieve Data From A Text File On A PocketPC
My apologies, I posted this in general Help too, not sure where it fits best...

Anyone have any ideas on how I can write and retrieve data from a text file on a PocketPC using Flash? There are several solutions on a local computer such as the exec command or a middleware app using geturl, but most of these require the Flash file to be played as a standalone, and wouldn't work on PPC anyways. I've tried using javascript to set the variables in a cookie, but I can't get the data back out. The javascript function and actionscript I use successfully creates the cookie data, but it doesn't parse it the way it does on a desktop system and puts the data in one large string. I can get it to show values as: "variableA=dataA" by using 'variableA and "=" and dataA', but I'm not too familiar with parsing cookie data so I'm having a little trouble pulling it out. Any ideas or other solutions anyone can offer??

Send Form Data To A Php Script Which Writes The Data To A .txt File
Hi!

Ok, this might be very easy but I´m new to both AS and PHP so I´m struggling here and I havent found any useful tutorials to use only small bits here and there.

What I want to do: I have a form which send data to a php script which then writes the data to a .txt. This .txt file is then used by a .swf file to display certain values.
I also have 1 field that I want to use as a validation field as a simple(but yes, not very safe) way to make sure only the right persons submit information.

I have got the .swf file to read the .txt file so thats no problem.

Has anyone got any suggestions about how I do this?

I have an idea of letting the validation field be checked against a .txt file and if one of the lines in the .txt file matches the validation field the rest of the information is submitted and sent to the php script.
Difficult?

Many thx in advance!

How To Send Data From A Form
Hi there !,

I´m trying to write data from my form in flash into a txt file on the server. I´m doing it with a php file that works (I´ve tested it).

Notes: The file permisions on the server are ok (666), ´cause it IS writing something, but no my variables from flash

Any help will be like "saving-life" help...

Data Send To Server
Hello all...
I have created an online form using Flash MX which takes Name, Email Address, Arrival Date (in Month, Day, and Year), Departure Date (in Month, Day, and Year).
Fields contain text boxes, drop boxes, and radio buttons.

When the submit button is pressed, the data wasn't sent to the server. Is it something missing in the mail.php3? Can someone please help?!?

Code in mail.php3 is listed below:
<?php
mail("ddd@yahoo.com", $email_text, $name_text, $amonth_result, $aday_result, $ayr_result, $dmonth_result, $dday_result, $dyr_result, $room_result, $sweepstakes_text, "From: $email_text
Reply-To: $$from
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>

P.S. Orange Fonts are the field names in the form.
