PLEASE HELP How Do I Send Info From A Text Field To A Url
Hi,
I realy need some help here...

I have created a Flash .exe file that we use as a "portal" of sorts.

Upon launching this portal you are asked to login with your firstname, lastname and employee number

Flash then validates the lastname and employee number information with an xml file containing that information.

My problem is I have to also take the Firstname Lastname and employee number and send it to a url.

I attached a text file with my entire code so you can see what I did so far if it is not too much trouble could you make the changes their or just let me know how so I can do it my self.

Please help I fear my job may be riding on this project.

Thanks in advance.

Send Input Text In E-mail?
I'd like to build a contact page where the user can write an e-mail directly on the webpage.

So far there's an input text field with the instance namne "message" and a component dropdown menu with e-mail adresses. Then another input text field called "sender" where the user is expected to enter her own e-mail adress.
How do we make the user's text send automatically in an e-mail to, say, flashbeginners@pleasehelp.com at the click of a button?

Oh, and how do we display the results of a couple of radio buttons in the final message?

Help greatly appreciated..

Send Text File To Flash Thru PHP
Hello, I read over the old post by Jubber, about sending variables from Flash -> PHP -> Flash but I can't seem to get it right. I have a series of input boxes which take values and then send it to a PHP script. The PHP script compiles the values and writes a .CKT file. Then I am trying to read this file into a string and send it back to Flash into a dynamic text field named "retVar". When I test the .swf, the dynamic text field is just always left blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code...

flash code...

submit_btn.onRelease = function( )
{
var loginVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loginVars.c1 = parseInt( c1.text );
loginVars.c2 = parseInt( c2.text );
loginVars.c3 = parseInt( c3.text );
loginVars.l1 = parseInt( l1.text );
loginVars.l2 = parseInt( l2.text );
loginVars.l3 = parseInt( l3.text );
loginVars.r1 = parseInt( r1.text );
loginVars.r2 = parseInt( r2.text );
loginVars.r3 = parseInt( r3.text );
loginVars.sendAndLoad( "triple_rlc.php", loginVars, "POST" );
};

php code...

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

<?php

//File being written to
$filename = "triple_rlc_result.CKT";

//Footer file to place at end of file
$footer = "footer.txt";

//Simultation file
$simul = "simul.txt";

//Path to Micro cap
$mcpath = "../";

//Get capacitors
$c1 = $_POST['c1'];
$c2 = $_POST['c2'];
$c3 = $_POST['c3'];

//Get Inductors
$l1 = $_POST['l1'];
$l2 = $_POST['l2'];
$l3 = $_POST['l3'];

//Get Resistors
$r1 = $_POST['r1'];
$r2 = $_POST['r2'];
$r3 = $_POST['r3'];

//Open file
$fi = fopen( $filename, 'w' ) or die( "Unable to open file." );

//Write title
$string = "*Writing to the filename, " . $filename . "

";
fwrite( $fi, $string );

//Write capacitors
$string = "C1 5 0 " . $c1 . "P
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "C2 6 0 " . $c2 . "P
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "C3 7 0 " . $c3 . "P
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );

//Write Inductors
$string = "L1 2 5 " . $l1 . "N
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "L2 3 6 " . $l2 . "N
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "L3 4 7 " . $l3 . "N
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );

//Write Resistors
$string = "R1 1 0 1M
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "R2 1 2 " . $r1 . "
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "R3 1 3 " . $r2 . "
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );
$string = "R4 1 4 " . $r3 . "
";
fwrite( $fi, $string );

//Write finished
$string = "*Variables finished writing

";
fwrite( $fi, $string );

//Open footer
$fa = fopen( $footer, 'r' ) or die( "Unable to open footer file." );
$contents = fread( $fa, filesize( $footer ) );

//Write footer
fwrite( $fi, $contents );

//Close footer
fclose( $fa );

//Close file
fclose( $fi );

//Read entire output file
$return = fopen( $filename, 'r' ) or die( "Unable to open return file." );

//Return outputfile to dynamic text box.
print "retVar=" . $return;

?>

I'm sorta new to send vars back and forth, but I have been working with PHP and Flash off and on for 4-5 years now. Thanks ahead of time.

Using LoadVars To Send UTF-8 Formatted Text
In my application I recieve xml encoded as UTF-8. In my case this xml contains Polish chars/words like "części". The users of the application can now edit the text and on save I send it back to the server...

To send the data back I create a xml string and send it like this:
var loadUrl = GlobalSetting.get("servletIP") + Servlets.get(servletname);
var send_lv:LoadVars = parameters;
send_lv.sendAndLoad(loadUrl, this, "POST");

where parameters is a LoadVars looking kinda like this:
var parameters = new LoadVars();
parameters.action = add;
parameters.id = someId;
parameters.xml = theXmlString;

The Problem:
Using LoadVars will URLEncodes all the parameters, in the case of the Polish characters the ę is encoded to %C4%99 . The Java.URLEncoder does not understand the %C4%99 encoding and wrong data is saved...

Does anyone know how I can avoid this problem???
I want to send the actual ę character, and it should be possible because I should send it as a UTF-8...

How To Send Text AND Images To Stage From Xml?
Hi,

I have been a 'squirrel finder' tutorial from kirupa.com (http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/exampl...rrelfinder.htm) to try and create a fairly simple xml-fed flash interface. Basically, i need to have a list of architectural projects in a menu, and when each one is clicked the project info is loaded into a dynamic text field and a series of maybe 2 or 3 images are also sent to movie clips on the stage.

I've got as far as just displaying the text using the tutorial: http://beentheunseen.ae-hosting.com/projects.html

This is my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<menu>
<menuitems>
<item type="school">
<name>Chapin School</name>
<info>
<![CDATA[This school has been under development for many years...]]>
</info>
<image1>face.jpg</image1>
<image2>face2.jpg</image2>
<image3>face3.jpg</image3>
</item>
<item type="school">
<name>Molloy School</name>
<info>
<![CDATA[Our work with Molloy has been...]]>
</info>
<image1>molloy.jpg</image1>
<image2>molloy2.jpg</image2>
<image3>molloy3.jpg</image3>
</item>
<item type="school">
<name>Deerfield Academy</name>
<info>
<![CDATA[Text text text...]]>
</info>
<image1>deerfield.jpg</image1>
<image2>deerfield2.jpg</image2>
<image3>deerfield3.jpg</image3>
</item>
<item type="school">
<name>Canterbury School</name>
<info>
<![CDATA[Text text text...]]>
</info>
<image1>canterbury.jpg</image1>
<image2>canterbury2.jpg</image2>
<image3>canterbury3.jpg</image3>
</item>
</menuitems>
</menu>

And this is the AS code:

function DisplayInfo(){

infobox_mc._visible = true;
infobox_mc.content_txt.text = this.location_text;
}

var item_spacing = 18;
var item_count = 0;

function CreateMenu(menu_xml){

var items = menu_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<items.length; i++) {

if (items.attributes.type == "school") {

var species = items.firstChild;
var location = items.childNodes[1];

var item_mc = menu_mc.attachMovie("menu_item","item"+item_count, item_count);
item_mc._y = item_count * item_spacing;
item_count++;

item_mc.species_txt.text = species.firstChild.nodeValue;
item_mc.main_btn.location_text = location.firstChild.nodeValue;

item_mc.main_btn.onRelease = DisplayInfo;
}
}
}

var squirrel_xml = new XML();
squirrel_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

squirrel_xml.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) CreateMenu(this);
else trace("Error loading XML file");
}

squirrel_xml.load("projects.xml");

Unfortunately the code is still mildly squirrel themed, lol. Could anyone help me to incorporate a way to display the images specified in the XML file at the same time as the project information? I assume i need to make a couple of movie clips on the stage and send the file url information to them somehow. I've tried adding bits of script from a number of tutorials and forums, but i don't seem to be able to make it work...

Thanks!

Ben

[F8] Send Data (stats) From Flash To Text Or DB
Hello,
I am working on a Flash project that will run on a local computer (not on the net) in a museum.

Is there a simple way to have some ActionScripting send out some statistics (basically a hit counter) to a text file or Access DB?

Basically, I want to be able to look at a text file every couple of months and see how many people went into a certain part of the program or got something right/wrong.

Anybody done this? I thought a "high score table" kind of setup might be similar, but everything I have seen has been for PHP on the web.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Send Text From Web Page To Flash File
Banging my head against a wall with this one...

Trying to put some hidden text at the top of an ASP page (can even be JavaScript) that will fill in a few dynamic text fields in a flash file.

Would just use a .txt file but each page needs to have different text using the same flash file.

Hi

Please help me how to send text data to the client from server ?

Netstream.send Only Text Messages Or Any Type?
In Netstream.send() documentation it says: "... arguments â€” Optional arguments that can be of any type."
In the documentation to the Netstream class it says "You can also use NetStream objects to send text messages to all subscribed clients (see the NetStream.send() method)."
I tried to send a Rectangle with Netstream.send:
Code on Sender:
var rect = new Rectangle(1,2,5,5);
nc.call("serverShowRect",null, rect);

Code on Flash Media Server: (FMS 2.0.4)
ï»¿STREAM_NAME = "myStream";
Client.prototype.serverShowRect= function(msg)
{
myStream = Stream.get(STREAM_NAME);
myStream.send("@setDataFrame","onRectangle",msg);
}
Code on Client:
function onRectangle(infoObject:Object):void {
trace ("Rectangle received.");
trace ("tracing properties:");
var key:String;
for (key in infoObject) {
trace(key + ": " + infoObject[key]);
}
try {
var rect:Rectangle = infoObject["rectangle"] as Rectangle;
trace("Rect as rect:" +rect);
}
catch (error:Error){
trace(error.message);
}
}

The function onRectangle() ist called ok. The infoObject's properties can be shown by trace. But I cannot convert infoObject into an Rectangle. var rect will be either null or I get an type-conversion error.

Does anyone know how to send other data than Strings using Netstream.send()? Or can one actually only send Strings using FMS2 ?

Send Vars To External Text File
hi,

Can I send variables from flash movie to external text file.

For example:

I have one Flash file: in that I have a text field with instance name "content" . I will load some text from the external text file which has got the varialbe name "content".

Now my doubt:

in flash movie if I type some text in the text field and click on the button, can I send this text to the external text file?

is there any way of doing it by using pure inbuilt scripts of flash without the combination of coldfusion or javascript.

Thanking you,
Prathap

How To Send Flash Quiz Score To A Text File Thru Php
Hello, someone probably answered this kind of questions before, but having little knowledge of php really makes it hard to figure out the right solution So here's my question:

I created a simple 10 question quiz, the player gets a final score at the end. The quiz will be hosted on a website (which already has php installed and working), it would be real nice if the scores can be written to a text file. I've tried every example I could possibly find on the web, and no luck. I don't want to send the data back to Flash, I only want to send the Flash scores to a text file on the remote server.

How can this be done?
Thanks!

Send Real Fax/send Pdf In Mail, Using Flash
Hi, I am a moderate flash designer and mostly make animations. I don't work with actionscript too much so I really need your guys' help. I need 2 things.

First: I am making an internet fax demo where I want someone to enter their email in a simple text box, click send, and it will email a pdf document to the email address (a sample fax).

Second: In the same demo, there will be another text box, where a user would enter a fax number, hit send, and it will fax them the pdf (or the stuff in the pdf in any other format) to their fax machine.

is this doable using flash? I don't even mind if i have to use a php or a xml file. but in that case, i also want to know what to write in the actionscript to call those files.

I would really appreciate if someone could please help me out with this. I had been searching all night, i found some actionscripts but have no clue what they mean.

One-way Text Chat - Send Message To Specific Client Or Moderator
We need help to modify the chat component so that when a client sends a message it only goes to the moderator. The purpose is for a live video presentation where we are allowing the attendees to ask questions through the chat component. Like a Q&A session. We don't want the other attendees to see the questions - only the presenter/moderator.
If we can allow the clients to see their own questions (in the chat log) that would be nice but not all that necessary.

LoadVars.send Doesn't Send..
Hi people, It's a LONG time since my last Flash application, I'm just catching up.
I'm trying to build a Flash "driver" for a serverless chat client (this means I'm making it work with a database and a php script, but no socket server, as I don't have the money to have such a hosting that let's me use one).

Anyway, what I'm trying to do is to get Flash to query the php script, sending some data (like channel id, user id etc..) and retrieve the new messages.

I have debugged the php script and I can assure the problem is not there.
The script prints whatever request arguments it recieves into comments in the response page.

What I'm doing in flash is:

code:
Request = new LoadVars();
Request.my_var = "foo";
Request.send("http://blablabla....php", "_blank", "POST");

The darn thing doesn't send anything to the php script.
I've already seen that it is possible to add variables to the url string, and they get passed to the script, but I don't want to get so dirty...plus I want to use POST, because of potentially long messages being passed.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Gosh I have it when Flash comes to such stupid problems.
Php rules!

If I don't get it right within a few hours, I'll just build the whole thing in Javascript. I just don't want to have to build it for each and every browser on the web...

Cheers!
