Sending Information To Serial
Hi
Im trying to get my flash app to communicate with the serial port.
I have found a usefull .jar file that opens the com port and allows for data to be sent. When using flash though, it appends a zero to the end of te string... this is causing my external hardware to fail as it is not expecting this last didgit.
How can i get rid of that final byte that flash seems to add?

Sending Information To A Popup?
If I'm creating a popup using this method:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm
(Or anything else, if it's easier)
Is it possible to send information to another flash file in that popup? I'm building a little xml photo gallery, but I want the pictures to open in a new window when clicked. The path to the picture and a description is loaded from an xml file, is there a way to either send the path and description or send the reference to where to find this info in the xml file to the popup?
Not sure if this is the right place for this...

Sending User Information From A CD
Hi everybody,
I created months ago an interactive CD using Flash. Now the client wants me to add a new feature to the CD, to get the user contact information, that they will have to type in before their first use of the CD.
My questions are two:
How can I send information from a Flash application in a CD?
How can I make it so this dialog box doesn't appear every time the user uses the CD?
Could anyone please let me know if there are any tutorials, or give me some advice on how to do this?
Thank you very much for your help.

Sending Form Information To Server
Excuse me everyone for my lack of knowledge.
I am in the process of creating a flash site for friend of mine. He wants to be able to have a guest list for his events in DC. I have created form boxes and have given them all "instance names". But I have absoultely NO clue how to have the text entered by people trying to get on the guest list sent to my server so we can all read it.
I have a book on Flash but it really doest explain how to do it at all. I'm guessing I need to do some actionscript?
The instance names for the boxes are:
Name box --------> nameBox
Event box ---------> eventBox
Email box ---------> emailBox
Guest box ---------> guestBox
Submit Button ---------> submitBtn
The website can be viewed at The Debonair Touch
Please, someone help!!! I am very lost! LOL

Missing Information While Sending From Flash To Php
I'm not sure how to efficiently describe my problem, but here it goes:
I made a very simple drawing application in flash similar to this one here.
I wanted to save the images the user creates, so I save each action in an array which holds (mouse x position, mouse y position, line width and color).
When the user has finished drawing he/she hits a button and the application converts the recorded actions into a string, f.ex.:
Code:
.194,108,3,0|.141,144,3,0.141,145,3,0.141,146,3,0.142,147,3,0
.142,148,3,0.143,149,3,0.144,151,3,0.146,151,3,0.147,151,3,0|
where a "." denotes a new action and a "|" indicated that the user has released the mouse.
When the user presses the button this information gets sent to a php file via "POST" which then writes it to a text file on the server.
My problem is that the information does not end up correctly in the text file.
Example of a corrupt text file
Code:
.73.6,76.8,3,0.74.7,76.8,3,0.74.7,77.85,3,0.74.7,81
.05,3,0.74.7,88.55,3,0.71
The pattern .X,X,X,X.X,X,X,X... is not there.
I would accept that I had made some programming mistake while exporting the string from flash to php to a text file.. But if I run the application from Flash (using ctrl+enter) the text file created on the server is never corrupt. But if I run the application in a browser either straight from the server or from my computer the text file is always corrupt (I've tried both IE and Firefox).
In the same "POST" I also send a url, which always returns to php without errors, doesn't matter whether I run it in a browser or straight from flash.
I'm completely lost, the only theory I have is that the browser somehow mix up or loose some of the letters I send to the php file.
Any suggestions or similar problems ? Also if anyone thinks posting some of my code might help in solving the problem just ask for which part to post.
Thanks in advance to anyone who actually read this long post

Sending And Retrieving Information From A Php Script
I was wondering if my logic would work on sending and retrieving information from an external php script.
Basically, I have a form with two comboBoxes and a submit button that opens a movieclip based on the selections made by the user. I want to also save some information in a text file to be used later. So, I was thinking that before I call the loadMovie() function I can send information to a php script where it creates a text file that stores the information that will be used later.
Then, the movieclip that will be loaded and played from the previous submit actionscript contains a couple buttons that when they are clicked will display various messages. I want these messages to be derived from the external text file.
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance

[MX] Sending Information To A Database / Text File / Email Account
Hi guys,
I'm trying to send some information as described in the thread title using XML, but I'm having trouble as I don't know any server side scripting languages that can parse it and pass the information on. Is there any other way I can send the data? Or maybe a ready made script I can add my parameters into?
The code I have so far is:
Code:
myXML = new XML("<Account><User>user.text</User><Pass>pass.text</Pass></Account>");
myXML.send("www.domain-name-here.com/something.php");

Bug Sending Variables From Projector
I think there is a bug sending variables from my projector to my online PHP file. I noticed my contact form sends the variables when using the SWF file, but when using a standalone projector it will not send the variables to my PHP script online. I need this to work as I am putting my projector on CD. I have used an absolute path to my file (eg. http://www.arcdesignfirm.com/email.php) but it doesn't work. However, if I use the SWF file it works. What gives? Anyone else have this problem?
Please note I am using Flash 5 and Mac OS 9.2

SENDING EMAIL WITH STANDALONE PROJECTOR (MAC&PC)
Creating a MULTIPLATFORM standalone CDROM,
I'm desperately trying to, when user is connected to the web,
let him send me an email by clicking on a button.
This button uses the AS getURL("mailto...) and opens the default mail program.(a mail page with email address, subject...)
BUT this AS ONLY works with swf nested in html page. (you can check it out!)
In my case (standalone projection with exe and hqx), this script will not work.
Can anybody help here? is there another AS that works?
many thanks!

Sending Loadvars Object Through Projector
Hi !
I am trying to find a way to send a LoadVars Object from my Projector file to a PHP script. Something like this:
myLoadVars.sendAndLoad("http://domain.org:8080/myScript.php", receiverObject, "POST");
At first I thought it was a SandBox issue, but it doesn't seem to be the case. The variables are simply not getting thru. The projector is running on a Mac.
Any ideas?

Information From External Text Document
Hi all ,
I have two buttons to retrieve data from an external text document ,each of which contain the following code: (XXXXXXX being different in each button)
on (press) {
var loadedText:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadedText.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
textfield2_txt.text = "
"+this.XXXXXXX;
};
loadedText.load("mydocument.txt");}
This gets the data with no problem , my question is , can I hyperlink the data in the text document so that when it is bought onto the screen you can then click straight on it , eg. a website link or email address?
Thanks in advance.

Reading An External Information As A Number
I need to read an external information from a TXT file or from an XML file, but as a number.
I know Number() should convert string to number, but seems like the XML gives me an array, while I used XPath.selectNodes(durationXML, "/xml/@")... I used this code:
ActionScript Code:
durationXML = new XML();durationXML.ignoreWhite = true;durationXML.load("duration.php?filename=projects/tracks/Welcome_To_My_Insenity.mp3");durationXML.onLoad = function() { xml_duration = (XPath.selectNodes(durationXML, "/xml/@")); run_duration = Number(xml_duration)*1000; Description = (xml_duration);}
So I decided to have the external information as a text file with the following content:
run_duration=73.159753
Then, using the following code to read it:
ActionScript Code:
loadVariablesNum("duration.php?filename=" + run_url, 0);run_duration = Number(string_duration);Description = (run_duration);
It doesn't work... seems like loadVaroablesNum read txt files for putting in dynamic text objects and not for putting in variables, or do I do something wrong?

[MX04] HELP Need Information N Editable Fields Using External .txt?
Hello everyone!
I'm in a bit of a pickle, which is not a good place to be.
I'm creating a presentation for a client and in this presentation I need a lead up page which has a series of editable text fields, and I'm not quite sure where to start.
1. There is to be a field where the client can punch in thier number and it will bring up information which is stored in an external database (Excel?), if they don't know thier number however, they then have the option of filling it out manually. I then need this to immediately create a new .txt file which will become this customers reference (provided one doesn't already exist).
2. Any information that is edited during the session needs to be able to be SAVED to an external .txt file (as above), which can then be called upon if the same client (number) is typed into the field mentioned above.
3. The presentation then moves on to a customisable shopfit, where the client decides how they want thier shop to look (this part is already complete and tested and works fine). However, at present I have a print button which the customer can select and it will print out thier options, but it has been requested (as I think the reps like to leave thier printers in thier other suit jackets) that I have an email option, this needs to email the picture (which normally gets printed) AND the information which was entered into the customer reference page.
My brain hurts, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.

Dynamic Text Field Taking Information From External Txt File.
Hello....i was wondering if you can help me out with something that i dont know if flash can do it or not.
this is the part of an actionscript code :
function loadFile(fileName) {
var myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt2.text = this.content;
};
myData.load(fileName+".txt");
}
init();
Now this code gets information from an external .txt file which inside this file there are the following information...
content=
το 1091...
A famous painter dies blah blah blah
το 1429...
There was a war between blah blah blah several history facts...
it works fine....whats puzzling me is this: Can flash get information from this txt file and display a paragraph at a time instead of all together?
I tried adding a variable for each pararaph like this.
content=
το 1091...
A famous painter dies blah blah blah
content2=
το 1429...
There was a war between blah blah blah several history facts...
on my actionscript code i only changed the name of the dynamic text field to " myText_txt3.text = this.content;" and also changed on the properties window the var: to content2. Shouldnt that normaly work?
Sorry for taking so much of your time i hope you understand my question...Thank you in advance..!

Sending An Argument To A External SWF
Hi,
I'm working on a flash website with PHP integration. My doubt is how to load a external SWF passing to it variables as arguments?
Example: I have a SWF that is a search form, the results are shown in this SWF. The results are the name of a person, when somebody click on the result (name), a new "window" open and show more details about that user.
How to pass to this new window the ID of the name clicked?
Another question: In the search form, the "OK" button will call a PHP page that returns with the search's results. I'm thinking in format the data in array's like:
search_data[[id,name],[id,name],[id,name],...] or two arrays:
search_id[id,id,id,...]
search_name[name,name,name,...]
With that, I can create the search list with buttons. What do you think?
Thanks everybody
