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!

A File That Writes Txt Doc
Here is a file that writes txt doc!!!
Here is an exe file that you can upload to a windows server that you
can pass variables to. The executable dumps the variables into a txt
doc.

The first variable in the list you send will be the name of the text
document outputted. The rest of the variables will be in the new doc.

The writetxt.exe file goes in the cgi-bin, but really doesn't matter
as long as you change the address below accordingly.

All the vars you want to pass should go in an empty movie on the
root timeline called VarBin, you can also change this or just pass
all the root vars by leaving VarBin out of the command below. If you
want to pass vars in the current timeline just use loadVariables()
without the stuff before it, or use this.loadVariables().

Pass vars like this:
code:
_root.VarBin.loadVariables("http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/writetxt.exe", "POST"); // Either "POST" or "GET" methods will work

Use "GET" for short lists of variables and "POST" for long lists of vars

Saves PHP Instead Of JPG File?
I'm using the JPGEncoder and PHP to export a JPG of a movieclip instance out of my flash movie. Basically the end user hits a "save" button and they should get prompted to save to desktop.

Currently my code is prompting the end user to save my PHP file and not the JPG of the movieclip. Here's my AS3 code

ActionScript Code:
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var serverPath:String = "";
function createJPG(m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String)
{
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (m.width, m.height);
jpgSource.draw(m);
var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(q);
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);

var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader ("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");

var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");
jpgURLRequest.requestHeaders.push(header);
jpgURLRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
jpgURLRequest.data = jpgStream;

var jpgURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
//jpgURLLoader.load(jpgURLRequest);
navigateToURL(jpgURLRequest, "_blank");
}
save_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveBtnPress);
function saveBtnPress(e:Event):void
{
createJPG(sketch_mc, 90, "sketch");
}

I'm thinking the problems may lay either in the line:

ActionScript Code:
var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");
Or line:

ActionScript Code:
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);

Capturing Where A User Saves Their File To
I have written code to download a file. How can I get the location of the file that the user has just saved it to on their local machine? Do you grab it when using the select listener for the file ref. class? I am going to post it to a textfield like such:

ActionScript Code:
results.text = "You have saved the downloaded file to this location: " + localFileAddress;
// the result will have the path to the file on the users machine

User Saves Something Done In Swf?
I'm working on a dynamic historical timeline that has tons and tons of data going into it that the user can filter down. The client wants the user to be able to save their timeline out once they are done and reopen it next time they log-in or even view other peoples saved timelines.

Is this possible? Can it be done? Does someone want to come and do it all for me whilst I go up the pub? There's a pork-pie and star wars comic in it for you...

Seriously, any help will be gratefully received.

Please HELP Fla Saves Differently Each Time
I would be extremely grateful if someone can help

I recovered an old project of mine, (whose fla I had accidentally deleted) using ******* SWF Decompiler...I start to continue work on that site like before and everything was going smoothly

But what started to happen is that everytime I saved the fla...certain symbols would get swapped...graphics would be moved left to right...and basically everytime i saved, the fla would changed internally in unexpected ways...I tried using both MX and MX Pro.. I tried copying all the frames and saving them to another timeline...nothing works...Each time I make any further changes to the FLA and Save it...IT opens up different...and just to let u know- just before I save it...I publish it to check if all is well...it is...then after the save...both the fla and further swfs i publish are completely different...graphics are interchanged and all over the place...masks are suddenly visibly and in the wrong place...responding to buttons that they had no link to!!!

Please help?? (((((((((

Text Input That Saves To Web So Others See It
Trying this question a little differently...

What I want to happen...

On my page I have a text input box and a submit button. Above these I have a display box where the typed text from the visitor will appear. When the visitor types in their text and hits submit, the text appears in the display box. When other users from the net visit the page, they see the new quote.

I am totally lost on where to even start on this one. Am I making sense?

Text Input Box That Saves To Web...
I am not sure if my title is adequately explaining what I want to be able to do. I want to have a text input box on my animation that when the site is visited, someone can type in a short quote, hit submit and have the quote appear in another textbox on the animation. The catch is that I want the new text to be displayed for any new visitors on the site. (basically want to have a visitor type in a favorite quote or whatever that will be displayed on the web for everyone until someone submits a new quote, then that one is displayed....etc.)

I am thinking that when I hit submit, the new quote will have to perhaps save to a txt file on the server that is accessed whenever the SWF is reloaded. Am I on the right track? If so, how do I accomplish this? I assume that I will need some sort of backend, but I am very lacking in that kind of programming.

Thanks for any and all help!

Anyone Knows A File Form In Flash ?

Thnaks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!

Flash Form Using XML File
Hi all!
I have Flash Movie that is a nice example of a simple flash form that can create, delete, edit data in an xml file. It is a todo list form. In my experimenting on how to learn how it was done I found that the data is not allowed to be changed or removed from the xml file when using the flash form to make the changes. The form itself was made to do so, but seems to be missing something. Is there a setting that I am missing to make the xml file changeable by the flash form? Or am I missing other files to allow the changes such as a *.php or *.asp? I am using Flash2004MXPRO. Since I am a noob to flash I figured I would rather ask then spend hours trying to figure it out.

Thanks

Flash Form And File Size
I notice that when i create i new Flash Form app in MX pro that the file size starts out quite big.

I create a new form app, and then publish the "empty" fla ... the resulting swf file is just under 50KB!! ... the size report shows that just about all of that is action script classes.

Is there anyway to reduce the file size, or is the only way to use the time timeline with key labels?

Thanks in advance for any comments
