Send Variables Using POST
I'm trying to send variables to a perl script.
The script works fine, as I can send variables to it using the following line...
PHP Code:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.mySite.com/cgi-bin/myScript.pl?var1=content1&var2=content2", "_blank");
}
But, how do I attach variables if I want to use POST?

URLLoader Using POST Fails To Send Variables
hopefully this is simple and I'm just missing something obvious. I'm trying to hit a php page using POST data and load the response. what actually happens is the php page is hit using POST but without data. if I navigateToURL with the URLRequest instead of URLLoader.load, the data is sent.
Code:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
some_button.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, _handle_click);
function _handle_click( in_mouse_event:MouseEvent):void {
var url_variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
url_variables.a = 1;
url_variables.b = 2;
var url_request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "index.php");
url_request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
url_request.data = url_variables;
var url_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
url_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
url_loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, _handle_complete);
url_loader.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, _handle_io_error);
url_loader.load( url_request);
//navigateToURL( url_request);
}
function _handle_complete( in_event:Event):void {
trace( "complete");
}
function _handle_io_error( in_event:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace( "io error");
}

Specific Size Window With "Paypal Send Variables Using POST"
I know that through Javascript you can control a popup window using javascript.
But I need to control a window, with or without javascript, but using the POST method such as:
code:
_lv["send"]("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
return="+return_str,"_BLANK", "POST");
The reason being is that i have fairly complicated variables to send to paypal, and from the looks of it, I cannot use variables by using getURL like below:
code:
getURL("javascript:javascript:
openNewWindow
('https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&business=order@myaccount.co.uk
&item_name=anyname&amount=21.99
&return=http://www.mywebsite.co.uk&cancel_return=http://www.paypal.com','paypal',
'width=600,height=400,scrollbars,location,resizabl e,status');void(0);");
Unless that is, someone knows different, if so how would I substitute a fixed price (for example) with a price that is currently a variable in the flash movie.

Send Using Post Not Working When _blank Is Used?

Using POST To Send Data From Flash To ASP
I cannot seem to get POST to work in a LoadVars.send method.
"GET" works fine, but I have to use POST for security.
I am sending the variables to an ASP script. When I try to retrieve the POST using request.form I get NOTHING. If I change the LoadVars method to "GET", everything works fine.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
///actionscript:
doSave_data = new LoadVars();
doSave_data.message = "Hello From Flash";
doSave_data.send("myfile.asp", "_new", "GET");
///myfile.asp:
myMessage = request.form("message")
// does not work!
myMessage = request.form
// does not work!
myMessage = request
// does not work!

Encrypting POST Data To Send To PHP
Hey,
I was wondering if there was an effective way, in Actionscript 3.0, to encrypt a string or int so it can be semi-safely POSTed to a PHP file, where it will be decrypted.
I was thinking something along the lines of this:
1. POST the plain text of the String or int
2. Also, POST the encrypted version, probably encrypted with a one-way hash algorithm (MD5, SHA1, etc.).
In the PHP, I would test whether the plain text (after it is encrypted with the same algorithm as in the Flash) is equal to the encrypted value that was POSTed.
(Is/Are) there (an) existing librar(y/ies) in Actionscript for MD5, SHA1, base64, or other changes of base? If so, how can I implement them

Using LoadVars To Send Data By POST
Hi all,
For some frustrating reasons, Flash MX is refusing to send data to my PHP page using the POST method. Here's the code I use:
Code:
dataLoader.send("http://localhost/coe/register.php", "_self", "POST");
However, it always got send as a GET. I have no idea why, and the strangest thing of all is that sendng by POST was working only a couple of days ago! I didnt touch the Flash file save for the PHP script.
Any ideas?

Possible To Send POST Data To PHP File Without Lo
Howdy.
I know I'm posting up a storm tonight.
I was wondering if it were possible to have a flash movie send post data to a php file without the php file loading in the movie window. i'm sending the post via the LoadVars() function.
The only thing i can think of is to send load the PHP file and send the post data into a small hidden IFRAME within the same html doc as the flash movie; or if need be to have it open a small sized window popup.
I'm not sure how to or if you can do with with LoadVars() though. Does anyone know of any way I could work through this?
Thanks!

Using The Post Method To Send Vars To Php Actually Sends Get ?
Ok i have a site where people can send large amounts of text through to a mysql db from flash it goes from flash to php to mysql. here is the flash code
Code:
var senderLoad = new LoadVars();
sender.onRelease = function()
{
senderLoad.theName = testiname.text;
senderLoad.theEmail = testiloc.text;
senderLoad.theMessage = testimsg.text;
senderLoad.objtype = "testimonial";
trace("Sending... " + senderLoad.theName + " " + senderLoad.theEmail);
senderLoad.send("sendflash.php",senderLoad,"POST");
}
Now this all goes to the sendflash.php which gets the variables using the $var=$_GET['theName']; etc. Yes that is Get but in my code i have POST for some reson it is not sent POST ?? but get i can see it in my browser after i hit the sender button it makes all the vars go into the url. Why dose it do this ? as you all already know sending large amounts of text through the get method is not a very good way to go about things anyone know why this code works this way ? I have tried putting get into the actionscript and i think if memory serves it didnt post anything ??
thanks in advance
oh if it helps the original tutorial where i got this code was from gotoandlearn it had a senderLoad.sendAndLoad("sendflash.php",receiveLoad ); this dose not even pass the variables for some reason i even tried all the original code with the original php file he supplied in the tutorial and it just sent blanks to php. It was a send email form so i made it work the only way i could get it to and made it into a insert message to db form.

Advanced Dynamic Send / Post Question...
Ok...
Here is the site in question...
http://studioauditions.com
The end goal will be to have the buy now button dynamically take the the user to the actual hard link of the product page...
which would be something like
http://www.frontendaudio.com/ADK_A_51_D ... p/1007.htm
I currently am having the client attach these hard links into the id3 tag artist field and calling on it that way...
BUT, the actual dynamic text field in the lower right corner contains the name of the product proper.
If you type that name into the http://frontendaudio.com search field it works perfectly...
is there a way to do this dynamically with flash / php / asp etc..
basically send and load the text string into a page as a variable to load into a search field and then execute that search....

Using Get And Post Without ALL The Variables
Ok, I'm trying to send some variables through the URL. The first attempt was to just send a URL string like this to the Flash file:
myURL = 'http://www.metalblend.com?stuff=10&things=5'
getURL (myURL,'_blank');
What it sends when you click on is this:
http://www.metalblend.com?stuff=10
As you see, it only sends the first variables and cuts off anything after that.
So, I was trying to use get and the only explanation I can find for this is this:
getURL (myURL,'_blank',"GET");
Well, that sends an insanely long string with ALL the variables in the flash file. So, does anyone know how I just send two or three along with the URL?

POST Variables Sent As GET
Hi fellows,
I am writing a simple form to send email.
Look what I have done in the submit button (in Flash):
btnEnviar.setClickHandler("onClick");
function onClick(component){
dataSender = new LoadVars();
dataSender.Nome = _root.mcForm.mcForm1.txtNome.text;
dataSender.Send ("http://localhost/dashortensias/flashsendmail.php","POST");
}
In PHP:
<?php
$nome=utf8_decode($HTTP_POST_VARS['Nome']);
print $nome;
?>
Nothing happens, that is, nothing is printed on the screen.
If I change HTTP_POST_VARS by HTTP_GET_VARS it works...
Why Flash is sending the var as GET if I explicited the POST method?
Thanks!

Post Variables To ASP
Hi there, I have this little issue I can't seem to get around...
I made a guestbook in flash. Maybe I completely missed out on something but as I understand it there's no actual form class or anything, I just use getURL with method POST and it will send my vars.
So, I made a frame with input text fields like "name", "e-mail" and "message". I added a button at the bottom with this script:
on(release) {
getURL("signGuestbook.asp","","POST");
}
And voila! Yes, I can catch the input text fields in my ASP page and store them in my database.
But here's my problem...
I kind of made a "frame" design in flash. I have this main window that launches whaterver application you might click on, within the main app, by using MovieClip.loadMovie(). So I can't have getURL to load signGuestbook.asp in it's own browser window (_SELF). It would simply wreck my framed flash application when it's being replaced with the ASP page.
Right now I'm having getURL to launch signGuestbook.asp in a new browser window (_BLANK). But gee we all love to have pop-ups, don't we?
Is there a way to "silently" post variables to an ASP/PHP/CGI/whatever script page?

LoadMovie From ASP With POST Variables
I've drawn a blank with the following problem - its probably something dumb that I have missed, as I am not a highly experienced scripter. If so I would be really gratful if someone more knowledgeable than me can help put me out of my misery...
Basically I want to load an image using an ASP link, and need to send over some variables to get the right one. This works just fine :
loadMovie('aspurl.asp?thevar='+_root.thevar,myMovi e)
where :
_root.thevar is a previously defined variable
but unfortunatley it is essential for my purposes that the ASP URL with variable does not appear in cache. To do this I have been advised to use the POST method instead.
So I just tried this instead, in various different forms :
loadMovie('aspurl.asp',myMovie,'POST')
also tried declaring a new local variable just before this.
>> But it doesn't work <<
What have I missed ? My ASP knowledge is limited - is something required on the ASP side perhaps ?

If I use something like
Set Variable: "upc" = "897441000115"
to find the product, how do I set up the getURL script so it will find this?
The product is currently being found via an html form, using the following:
Code:
<form action="http://www.website.com/location.asp" method="post">
<input name="upc" type="hidden" id="upc" value=897441000115>

Flash POST Variables
I'm using
code: mySendVars.sendAndLoad("testmail.php", myLoadVars, "POST")
e.g. to send a "naam" LoadVars variable to my php script.
In the php script I would use something like this
PHP Code:
$naamvariabele = utf8_decode($_POST["naam"])
to receive this variable send by Flash through "POST". In this case: $_POST["naam"]
But noticed just now that this
PHP Code:
echo $_POST["naam"];
gives the same result as this
PHP Code:
echo $naam;
after Flash has send the LoadVars.naam variable
So if I use an input text field with the instance "naam" and send its value to php using Loadvars, php automatically creates a php variable with the same name? Is that correct?
If so, I could also use this
PHP Code:
$naam = utf8_decode($naam)
which indeed works just as well (just tested it)
Or is working with a POST-variabele like $_POST["naam"] still safer?

Post Variables To Database
Hi,
I'm working on a login page in Flash. When the user types in username and password they hit a button to submit it to a database. That works fine. But I want them to be able to use the enter key aswell as the submit button.
The problem is that when using the enter key....no variables are being send to the data base.
This is what I'm using for the button:
on (release) {
getURL("loginProcess.jsp", "", "POST");
}
This is what I'm using for the enter key:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (key.getCode() == key.ENTER) {
getURL("loginProcess.jsp", "", "POST");
}
}
So basically it is sending the same thing...but no variables gets send in the latter.
I would truly appreciate some help on this......
