Flash :: Help With User Form

User Profile Form
hi, i am facing a weird problem with my first attempt at flex, php and mysql. please pardon me if this is not the correct place to post my question.

i had a form created using flex and json, with php as the backend. below are segments of my codes..

ActionScript Code:
//get the raw JSON data and cast to String
var rawData:String = String(event.result);
var user = JSON.decode(rawData);

first_name.text = user.first_name;
last_name.text = user.last_name;
email.text = user.email;

if (user.gender == "male") {
male.selected = true;
} else {
female.selected = true;
}

var bday:Date = new Date(user.birthday);
day.selectedIndex = bday.getDate() - 1;
month.selectedIndex = bday.getMonth();
year.selectedIndex = year_array.indexOf(bday.getFullYear().toString());

........

PHP Code:

echo json_encode($_SESSION['user']);

when i first load the page, everything is being populated correctly on the flex frontend. however, when i refresh the page using f5, the birthday fields are incorrect. in the sense that it becomes 1 jan 1970.

i tried to print out the value of user.birthday and it is indeed 1 jan 1970. but i am not sure why it has become this value..

My problem is how to store username and password on server side and
how to check pwd on server side.

i have stored user details in a shared object as follows:

Code:

playersInfo_so.data[pname_txt.text] = new Object();
playersInfo_so.data[pname_txt.text].pwd = pwd_txt.text;
playersInfo_so.data[pname_txt.text].firstName = fName_txt.text;
How to check pwd value on server side.

please tell me whether my approach is right or wrong,
give me some suggestions in solving this.

thanks in advance

Contact Form With User Id Instead Of Email Address?
Hello again,
I'm trying to build a contact form and instead of entering email address, i want the user to enter its user id and I will include the @domain.com on actionscript on the form and on its php.
Something like this:
User id:"________" (enter by user) @ domain.com (@domain.com will be already on the form)
so all the user has to do is enter its user id.
this user id will pick up the rest which will be the @domain.com and that would be an email send.
Has anyone done that before?... any help please!

ActionScript Code:
on (release) { if (!Email.length || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) { EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid COMPANY E-mail address"; } else if (!ToComments.length) { EmailStatus = "Please enter your message"; } else { loadVariablesNum ("MailPHP.php", "0", "Post"); gotoAndPlay(10); }}

and this is what i have on my php file

PHP Code:

<?$ToEmail = "email@domain.com";$ToSubject = "Training Orientation Feedback";$EmailBody = "Sent By: $FirstName
Senders Email: $Email

Message Sent:
$ToComments
";mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $EmailBody, "From: ".$FirstName." <".$Email.">");?>

my input text variable is called Email

thanks for the help.

URGENT: CGI User Input Email Form
Hi there,

I have exhausted so many options to try and get a generice form to email working in Flash 5 and can't seem to do it. I have created all of my Input Text fields and given them variables and have put the following code on the submit button... but it still doesn't work... in fact none of the several ones I found on the web worked either. Please help quick!

Submit button code:

on (release) {
loadVariablesNum ("http://cgi.domainname.co.nz/cgi-bin/email.cgi", 0, "POST");
subject = "Enquiry from Website";

gotoAndPlay ("thankyou");

User Input Form - Problem With Drop Down List
I have a simple form which includes a drop down list.

After selecting from this, I want to use the selection to send them to the appropriate frame in the movie.

I also want the text input to spawn to a dynamic field (this is working).

When the button is clicked, the information from the drop-down list does not show in the dynamic field, but the text from the text input does.

What am I doing wrong.

Code:

confirm_btn.onRelease = function(){
people_txt.text = people_grp.text;
}
confirm_btn.onRelease = function(){
age_txt.text = Number(age_inp.text);

people_grp is the drop down list
age_inp is the text field

I have tried to attached the file, but it is too big (580KB), so if you need to see it, please tell me and I will send to you via email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[F8] Problems Reading Text Present In Form Before User Type Anything
To be honest I am tempted to post this in the newbie section ><

I have a multiline text field saying "Enter your question here" and I have made doubly sure that there are no linebreaks or extra spaces.

However my code if(question_txt.text eq "Enter your question here"){} does not work and when I trace it there is a linebreak after the text for some reason.

If I change the form to be single line, it all works fine !?!

ehmmm... help

Trying To Build A Dynamic Form. Input Sections Duplicated By User Defined Number.
Hi

I'm about to start a project, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how to code it.

Lets see if I can describe what I want to do.

I'm building a form composed of two groups.

Group one:
8 text input fields.

Group two: 7 Text fields plus 3 Radio buttons.

I need the user to enter a number between 1 - ∞.
This number needs to dynamically define how many unique instances of Group two are available to fill out and submit with the rest of the form.
(Form results need to be sent, via PHP, to my email address)

Group two is a group of text fields that are defined as the same, but the user will need to input unique information into each one.

For example, Group two has a group of questions similar (but not very close) to this:
List the People in your town
"Group two" 01
Gender:
Name:
Age:
Street Number:
Hair color:

Since I cannot determine beforehand the number of "Group two" instances the user needs to fill out I need them to choose the number above (8th text field of Group one) and have X amount of Group two to be available to fill out. Probably the best way for the user to move between Group two - 09, 11, 12 etc.. is via next and previous buttons.

But despite my need for this, I can't seem to code it.

I'd appreciate any hints and suggestions, and I'd love it if someone would point me towards some sort of working example (you don't have to build one, I know your busy. Its just worth asking you never know until you try)

Not only am I stuck on how to code it via Actionscript 2 I'm even more uncertain as to how the PHP script is supposed to recieve an unknown, unplannable amount of text fields/information. The way I setup my PHP scripts to sent Email from Flash is to manually input the varable names and titles inside the php file. But how do I get it to do that dynamically as well?

Something tells me I still didn't clarify this well enough (or this post is too big to most people to bother reading through) so I'll way a few days or a week for replies, if I don't get anything, I'll try again but with a visual (static/movie) example of what I'm trying to build.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
It's quite likely you have more pressing things to do, the fact that you read this suggests you intended to help. And thats appreciated.
Even if you were as stumped as I am

Passing User Input Values(text Form) Into A Text File
Hey,

I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.

Thanks

User Levels, Cell Phones, And User Registration, Plus Cookies
I need to quote a client on the following and need to know how much work is involved, ie hours. The programming may be done in PHP (unless its easier to do it all with AS), and the so the .swf needs
to talk to other files on the server.

Requirments are as follows:

1. contact form that: validate form, generate email, generate SMS for cell phones

2. registration form that: validates form, checks record, stores record if new, creates and sets cookie so they don't have to login next time, re-directs to appropriate page, sends email confirmation, deletes record if bad.

3. "extranet": validate i/p, check group (user level), send to user group destination

I just need to know if this is a simple couple thousand dollar thing or a complex many thousand dollar thing.

I can't guarantee anything (I don't write the cheques around here), and depending on the complexity of it we may be looking to subcontract some of it out.

Email me directly at: jonny@northstudio.com if you can be of any help.

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!

Help: Form Mail (CGI-style Email Form) In Flash
Anyone have a nice .FLA file to share so I can get in and play with the AS?

I need to setup a CGI-style email submission (request info, etc) completely within the MX2004 pro environment--for a client.

I'm not completely fluent in AS2.0, but I can run with changing the fields and calls so long as the sample is not too complex.

Much appreciated.

[F8] Flash Form Pops Up With The Php Url When Submitting Form
Hey guys,

I have a very minor issue here. I've created a contact form that uses a loadVars function to send the information to a php script and then on to my email. I've got everything working perfect except for the fact that when the user clicks submit it pops up a page with the address of my php script in order to run it. This is a bit annoying, so i was wondering if there was anyway to stop this from happening (but still run the script).

At the moment my code is:

PHP Code:

details_lv = new LoadVars ();
details_lv.userName = text2_mc.name_txt.text;
details_lv.userEmail = text2_mc.email_txt.text;
details_lv.userSubject = text2_mc.subject_txt.text;
details_lv.userMessage = text2_mc.message_txt.text;
details_lv.send("contact.php", "POST");

Any help would be appreciated,
Thx

Form Tab To Auto Scroll Form

Reseting A Form...validating A Form
i have an address book online. Users can add/edit/delete at will. All great, but i need to validate a few of the buttons. Thus far, if a user adds an entry, opon the lvConfirm, the form visualy resets with the original text ("Name", "Number"). That is great, but lets say the user then decides to click the update button...well, while the form says name and number, a duplicate entry is entered. Worse, if instead the user clicks delete, it will delete the last entered entry....not desired...any ideas on how to validate this form so after an enter/update/or delete the forms variables are cleared?

Code:
var lvGet:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var lvConfirm:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var lvConfirmSearch:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
mcAddEntry.onRelease = function() {
if(inputName.valid!=true || inputNumber.valid!=true){
txStatus.text="not valid entry";
}else{
lvGet.leaderName = newName;
lvGet.leaderNumber = newNumber;
lvGet.sendAndLoad(rootURL+"insertEntryToPhonebook.php", lvConfirm, "GET");
}
};
lvConfirm.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
leaderlist.load(rootURL+"getphonebook.php");
inputName.text = "name";
inputNumber.text = "number";
dragger._x=0
selectedDays=[];
lvGet.leaderName=""
lvGet.leaderNumber="";

}
};
//______________________________________________________________________________edit entry
mcUpdate.onRelease = function() {
if(inputName.valid!=true || inputNumber.valid!=true){
txStatus.text="Please update at least one field";
}else{
lvGet.leaderName = newName;
lvGet.leaderNumber = newNumber;
lvGet.Id=leaderId;

lvGet.sendAndLoad(rootURL+"editEntryById.php", lvConfirm, "GET");
}
};

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.

HTML FORM To Flash FORM
I'm tryin to convert an HTML password page into FLASH and haven't a clue where to start. The site is www.modernvisionphotography.com and the code for HTML is

<input type="hidden" name="init" value="init">
<input type="hidden" name="code" value="458">
<input type="text" name="password" size="16" maxlength="30"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

The user types in their password via an input text field but i haven't an idea what to put in the submission button in flash.

Any leads? or ideas would be helpful! Thanks for your time.

Form (Form + Script)
Hello. I am in need of help with creating a functional form. I have been working on making one work for a very long time except with no success. I am not understanding many of the tutorials, movies, and searching many places. All of the tutorials really never explained anything. I have searched just about everywhere for an answer, and this is my last resort.

I have made an example form, just a test and added a script I found but substituted the variables. Yet, it does not work.

I would like to know, what am I doing wrong? (Bit general question)
Also, when I open up the example script, it opens with SimpleText, change the necesary variables, and save it.
Is this acceptable, the script is just a text file?
Could someone fill some holes in for me?

Form In Flash, Tab Goes Off Form
Sorry - I really feel at a loss here as there is nowhere I can find to set up a control for the order in which you can move from one field to another. But as I test my form, and tab from one field to the next - the cursor goes from first to second field, then off the form to the menu bar, tab again and you end up in the third field of the form, tab again and you go off form to the next option on the menu bar, tab again and you go back to the last two fields in the form. What can I do to keep the cursor in the form going from one field to the next? PLEASE!?

AS2 Form Data To ASP Form
I've scoured the forum for a possible solution and nothing I've found seems to work. I have a form in Flash AS2 that I want to pass that data to an ASP page where it's processed, but it should also send the user to that page.

FLA has two form fields "userName" and "pword"
My actionscript looks like

buttonSubmit.onRelease = function() {
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.userName = regFields.userName.text;
myVars.send("login.asp","_self","POST");
}

I've even tried just using the getURL("login.asp","_self","POST"); method and I cannot get the variable info to send to the page.

I've also tried sendAndLoad too with no success as that won't send the user to the next page.

Help For A New User Please
Greetings,

I am sure that you have answered most of my question a thousand times, but here goes.

First let me begin by saying I am completely new to flash 6.0 (er, and Flash in general).

What I wish to accomplish:

A very simple intro, with an MP3 playing throughout the movie. In the movie will be 10 - 12 images which fade in, remain a few seconds, then fade out in sequence.

If anyone would please point me to a web tutorial which would help me complete this little project it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
