Flash :: Tarcing Value Of String Outcome.

Error 2101: The String Passed To UrlVariables.decode() Must Be Url-encoded Query String
I am trying to make a flash contact form which will submit the firstname, lastname, email and comments to an asp.net page.

I am have having the following error:

Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs

I am using the following action script code as pasted below. This action script is communicating with an asp.net file to send the email out. In the end it responds back with response=passed or failed.

I have already spent around 3 hours figuring it out.. and looking through the internet for resolution but no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

stop();
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);

function submit(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.firstname = firstname_txt.text;
variables.lastname = lastname_txt.text;
variables.email = email_txt.text;
variables.comments2 = comments_txt.text;

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(â€emailacount.aspxâ€);
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = variables;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sent);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, error);
loader.load(req);

status_txt.text = â€œSendingâ€¦â€;

}

function sent(e:Event):void
{
status_txt.text = â€œYour email has been sent.â€;
firstname_txt.text = â€œâ€;
lastname_txt.text = â€œâ€;
email_txt.text = â€œâ€;
comments_txt.text = â€œâ€;
}

function error(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{
status_txt.text = â€œThere was an error. Please try again later.â€;
}

and the following asp.net code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Try

String Passed To URLVariables.decode() Must Be A URL-encoded Query String...
I really don't understand why this won't work? I've made a test which sends some POST data to a script on my page which works fine. But why does not this work?

Code:
var mapsize = _cmap.fieldx.toString(16) + _cmap.fieldy.toString(16);
var names = "Zomis_AI6";
var description = "descr";
var result = "gameresult";
var upldata: String = "mapsize="+mapsize+"&names="+names+"&description="+description+"&result="+result;
trace(upldata);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(upldata);
var request2:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request2.url = "http://www.zomis.net/record.php";
request2.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request2.data = variables;
var loader2:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader2.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader2.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, uploadcomplete);
try {
loader2.load(request2);
trace("Loaded");
}
catch (error:Error) {
trace("Unable to load URL");
}
Tracing gets:

Code:
mapsize=1010&names=Zomis_AI6&description=descr&result=gameresult
Loaded
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.

Trouble With String.indexOf And String.lastIndexOf
Hi,

I have an input text field used for time. I'm trying to set it up so the user has to enter a valid time into the box.

I set the box to be only 5 characters in length and to only use numbers and the ":" character.

I thought this code would insure there wouldn't be two ":" characters and the ":" would be at lease one character from the begining and at least two from the end.

But the if you enter 2:321 it comes back as a valid time.

Thanks in advance,
thurston

Code:
if(string.indexOf(":", 1) == string.lastIndexOf(":", string.length-3) ){
trace("Valid Time");
}else{
trace("Invalid Time!!!");
}

Changing A String Name In A Loop / Concatonating String Name?
Hey all,

Does anybody know of a way to change a string name as a loop proceeds?

This is the main piece of code that I wish to loop with i incrementing, so that whilst i=0 then:

_root.barARed._visible=barRed[i];
_root.barARed._width=barLength[i];
_root.barAYellow._visible=barYellow[i];
_root.barAYellow._width=barLength[i];
_root.barAGreen._visible=barGreen[i];
_root.barAGreen._width=barLength[i];
infoA.text=info[i];

and i=2 then:

_root.barBRed._visible=barRed[i];
_root.barBRed._width=barLength[i];
_root.barBYellow._visible=barYellow[i];
_root.barBYellow._width=barLength[i];
_root.barBGreen._visible=barGreen[i];
_root.barBGreen._width=barLength[i];
infoB.text=info[i];

and so on...I would use _root.barRedInstanceName[i]._visible=barRed[i]; but I can't give the movie clip (the bar) an instance name such as redBar[1], redBar[2] etc. (system reserved I'm told)

I guess what I am trying to ask in a roundabout way: is how do you concatonate the name, rather than the contents of a string?

Hope you'll forgive me if this is something really simple that I am overlooking, but I only have a very short experience of flash.

Thanks

Ball Bouncing On String: Getting The String To Be Bigger?
I have a black line which is simply a movie clip and a yellow circle which is also a movie script. The ball works great, it bounces on the bottom of the movie, and you can pick it up and throw it around. So now I want to attach the ball to the black line. So:

1. How can I make it so that the top part of the line will stay in one position, and so that a bottom part of it will move around? Is there any way I can link the two at a certain point so that wherever the ball goes the line will stay attached to it at that point?

2. In an attempt to try and reach this point I came up with this script in the ball for when it is not being dragged anywhere. The most important bit is really the bottom:

ActionScript Code:
} else {
old.x = pos.x;
old.y = pos.y;
pos.x = _x;
pos.y = _y;
vel.x = (pos.x-old.x)*2;
vel.y = (pos.y-old.y)*2;
//Finds the change in position and adds that as an extention to the line:
_root.ballstring.height += (old.y - pos.y);

Anyone reckon they could help me out? Thanks!

What's The Best Way To Parse Out A Url String Using The String Object In Flash
I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.

In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.

For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com

If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.

Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions?
I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

I'm currently working on this so any ideas?

Complex String.split And String.substring
Hey, Im an actionscript newbie and am having a little tourble with a string.

I have a string variable containing the value:

myString = "Johnny Lewis, Danny Lopez, Alex Prince, Sandro Lee, Nick Salvage"

What I want to do is trim their last name so it only shows their first initial, so it would be converted to:

myStringTrimmed = "Johnny L, Danny L, Alex P, Sandro L, Nick S"

So im guessing I need to split it by the commas, then split those again by the blank space.

The only problem is that this variable will be dynamic and the number of people in the variable will always be different. Sometimes there will only be one name, sometimes as many as five.

Any help would be much appreciated.

String = String + If(string.length) ... + String
A few languages have an IIf() statement, which works like the if statement, but is good for use inside of strings.

Flash 8 apparently doesn't have it, but I tried something similar to this..

Code:
_global.mStruct.mString = "My first name is " +
mf.text + if(mi.text.length > 0) { ". My middle initial is " + mi.text} +
". My last name is " + ml.text + "."
And I get

"Operator '+' must be followed by an operand", referring to the red + above.

Is there a way to do this, or do I need to just break into seperate if statements and appending the value to the value of the textbox?

Thanks for any help.

string equals the length of the longest string,

my listbox output is now -
Jeff Beck - Space for the Papa| * from time array

LoadMovie - Target String Or Not String?
I'm trying to figure out what the major differences and/or uses for using a target as a string with double quotes or without quotes...

For example whats the difference between the following 2 lines?

1. loadMovie("products.swf",_root.dropZone);
2. loadMovie("products.swf","_root.dropZone");

I know the target in the second line is a string and the target in the first line is a MC object(?). Any other major uses for these 2 variations?

Trouble Finding A String Is A String
I'm trying to find a certain string I provide in another string, I know that in JavaScript you can use indexOf to find it:

myString = "hello world";
findString = "world";
if(myString.indexOf(findString) >= 0) {
alert("found");
}

I tried that in flash (replacing alert with trace) and it doesn't work

Can't Pass String To Nc.connect(string)
hey guys. fairly new to flash, but I've managed to throw together a player with info and tutorials from here and other places. I've got everything just how I want it save for one problem. I've got an XML file that I get the URL for my server from and also get the names of videos to populate a list. Here's the problem:
I can get the URL into a string in my program (it traces fine). However, when i try to pass that string in my nc.connect(string) it doesn't work. Everything loads fine, but when you click a video, it can't connect to it. If I manually enter the URL into the connect field like this: nc.connect("rtmp://url") it works fine.
So am I missing something? Why can it take the URL manually entered and not from a string?

Save Object To String -> Load String And Convert Back To Object?
Wondering if anyone knows if this is possible. First a little explanation:

1. I have container grid where you can add and position MC's
2. The MC's x,y and other data is stored in a 3d object
3. The object is setup like this: matrix (object) -> levels (objects) -> profiles (objects). So basically a grid which mirrors what you see on screen.

This all works great; however, the application needs to have a save feature. My first thought was decode the matrix into an XML and save that.

Then I thought maybe you can just convert the matrix object to one big string and save that.

Questions: when the string is loaded back into the movie how do you (or can you even) covert it back in a object that flash can read?

Any help/input is greatly appreciated.

How To Search String In String?
Hey,
Does anyone know how to search a string in a string. For a reference, it is same as what we do in VB using instringrev() function. It works by passing two strings to it. instringrev(string1, string2). The string1 is the string that we are searching and string2 is the string that we look for string1 in.
Please can anyone let me know how to do this in Action Script 3.0 . What I am doing is creating an XML table and storing it in a variable. Now I want to search the table for a particular string.

Query String ( Get String )
Lately I've been sick of the fact that I can't query the get string, dont' know how many other people are having this issue, in any case I wrote a class that doesn't require you to have any javascript in the html, and it's really simple to use, so here it is if you guys wanna improve it feel free, I'll do what I can when I get the time. Which isn't often.

TakeCare.

_Michael

ActionScript Code:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;/* * Created so that I can query values from the get string. * *@author: Michael Avila*/class URLQuery{ // Instead of calling a function from javascript // we will build the function in flash and call it private var get_url_function:String = "function get_url(){return window.location.toString();}"; // a multi-dimensional array that contains the name value pairs, index[0] is the name and index[1] is the value private var name_value:Array; /* constructor */ public function URLQuery() { name_value = new Array(); // here we are making the call to our function, and we are taking it's return value, then we are spliting // it in half at the first ? and taking the right side of the string, then we are spliting into another array // this array will be split up on all of our & symbols name_value = ExternalInterface.call(get_url_function).toString().split("?")[1].split("&"); buildNameValues(); } /* * You pass in the value for the variable, and we will return it if it extists * if it doesn't we will return null */ public function queryString( getVar:String ):String { for(var i:Number=0; i<name_value.length; i++) { if (name_value[i][0] == getVar) return name_value[i][1]; } return null; } /* * Builds are name_value array, simple parsing */ private function buildNameValues() { for (var i:Number=0; i<name_value.length; i++) { name_value[i] = name_value[i].split("="); } }}
