LoadVariables

• loadVariables question

  I have a text field that I created. I use loadVariables to load the file I want to show inside this text field. After loading my new file, the formatting of the rules I have applied to the box when it was created (tested as they have been applied already - successful), are replaced by the text of default shit in all black. Why?

  Thought I post the answer here now that I found it because it will help no doubt well others still.

  do not use loadVariables lol...

  I have rewritten my file management function to use LoadVars and used the onLoad method to make sure that my text was loaded before applying the change. It's the same type of problem exists with LoadMovie etc. My final function looks like this...

• loadVariables onEnterFrame

  so I have a simple php below script which gets the time of the server hosting the script. my flash file has a simple loadVariables, load variables since the onEnterFrame of php script. the problem is that the value of the variables is not getting updated. the output of the trace below repeat just the same value for CSTseconds over and over again. How to change the updated/current value?
  
  

  You are calling every onEnterFrame? What is necessary. It seems unusual to do so. I don't know if the answer might be received before the next request has been sent (and I don't know what might happen in these circumstances).

  It can also be cached.
  You can try adding a random unique code to test.php to try to avoid that.

  for example
  loadVariables ("test.php? cachebuster =" + getTimer (), "");

• LoadVariables ASP database

  Hi, I read what threads are on this forum on this subject and searched high and low but still can not get this to work!
  
  I've done a few tutorials on the web saying you can use LoadVariables with an asp page return db records back to the Flash using response.write.
  1. I have a HTML file that contains my SWF.
  2. I have a file called variableString.asp page which is located next to these files that queries and returns a string using Response.Write (). The output looks like this...
  output = & Owen, Mike, 44, Walker, Jane, 25,.
  3. my SWF contains loadVariablesNum ("variableString.asp", 0); and I have a setInterval which keeps check if the text is loaded or not of the _levelO. If he charged it goes to frame 3. This does not and cannot see why.
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.
  Simon.

  I don't see anything here that would cause a variable named 'made' to _level0 become defined. try using one of the variables you are loading as a last: "height".

  also, I would stop the interval before calling the gotoAndStop(), although it should still run, I would before this date to be sure.

• loadVariables, headaches

  Okay, I give up! I have tried almost everything and just can't get the right solution.
  I am trying to load and run a script ASP from a Flash Document and it does not work?
  
  My code is: "loadVariables("SendCode.asp",0,"GET");"
  
  The ASP script works as written as I ran it directly from a browser.
  
  It seems as if the loadVariables command is where my problem is, but I can not understand.
  Browse the code in debug mode does produce what-so-ever no error?
  
  Help please!
  

  then flash doesn't use anything that is returned from the file asp, correct? If so, you will need to debug your asp may file with the asp file write in a debug file that you can review to see what is tranfered to flash correctly and incorrectly.

• loadVariables problem

  OK, that's how.
  I'm loading external txt file text in a dynamic text box. Easy. Yes, it is, but...
  When I publish the film I don't see text. I know that it is there because I can select it and copy it. But it is invisible.
  I defined the police in the library and text box use this one, so this is not particularly a problem because I'm looking the file locally on my computer.
  The text is black on a white background in a clip that is not transparent. ;-)
  Also my txt file looks like this:
  

  Quote:
  about = < head > < meta http-equiv = "content-type" content = text/html"; charset = utf - 8 "/ > < / head >
  < police = "Trebuchet MS, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, SunSans-Regular, sans-serif" >

• Problem with sending data to the Php Mail Script.

  So, I work with this Flash pattern that my boss bought. It has a contact form, you are supposed to be able to fill, and he sent an e-mail to a specified address.

  However, it does not work. Not at all!

  There are 4 fields on the form

  name

  E-mail

  Phone

  Message

  The Code for the button send is

  -Code button-

  onClipEvent (load) {this.t.v = _root.contacts_txt7 ;}

  on (rollover) {this.gotoAndPlay ("s1") ;}

  (deployment) {this.gotoAndPlay ("s2") ;}

  {We (Release)}

  _parent.loadVariables ("inc/mail.php", "POST");

  }

  -Code button-

  The php script is

  Php script-

  <?

  $name = $_POST ['name'];

  $email = $_POST ['email'];

  $phone = $_POST ['phone'];

  $message = $_POST ['message'];

  $ToEmail = "email@here";

  $ToSubject = 'the message of your site;

  $EmailBody = "name: $name\n".

  E-mail: $email\n

  Phone: $phone\n

  "Message: $messages\n";

  $Message = $EmailBody;

  $headers. = "content-type: text; charset = iso-8859-1\r\n ";

  $headers. = « de : ". $nom. « / ». $email. » \r\n » ;

  mail ($ToEmail, $ToSubject, $Message, $headers);

  ? >

  Php script-

  It seems like it should work. The mail on the server function works, as I am able to set up a base in php contact page and it works, however, he wants that this flash contact form. It's as if the flash does not send anything to the php script. Is there something missing? I have looked for hours and have resorted to hitting my head on the wall, in an effort to jar loose ideas, so far, nothing.

  1. don't set the $ToEmail variable

  2. I do not see where $headers is initialized

  3. what directory (relative to the html embed your swf) contains mail.php and

  4. use tracking feature to ensure that these variables (name, etc.) are set to _parent when your php file is called.

  How would I pass a variable from flash to php?

  I've been in many tutorials on the net but I can't understand a large part of the tutorials...

  I saw same method similar to use URLLoader & URLRequest with the location of the php files then variables in php that connects to the database is accessible.

  All access php succeeded not flash variables in the php file as in the code above.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  It's really poor as2 coding so it will mean coding as3 really poor.

  but, to answer your question, you set a data property to your urlrequest to transmit data from flash to php.  the data property will be an instance urlvariables and you assign variables/values to your instance urlvariables:

  var urlVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

  urlVar.eid = whatevervalue;

  urlVar.rdoc = whatever;

  urlVar.str = whateverelse;

  yourURLRequest.data = urlVar;

       form.loadVariables("order.php", "POST");
  }
  

  But now that I added a ComboBox, there 'variable scope' pitch - how to send the parameter selected in the combobox control to the PHP as well?

  var yourcomboboxselectedItem:String = cb.selectedItem.data;  If you combobx has instance name cb and you want to retrieve the property data

• Flash game High Scores Board

  Hi all

  I know that it is a topic that covers a lot because I have seen a ton of tutorials which show of the dfferent 1 million ways to create a High Council mark on a flash game.  So I decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial to try.  Well I tried 3 different ones now and have yet to get a High Council with my game scores.

  http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php

  This is the link to the latest attempts to creat my high scores Board.  When I finished all the way the tutorial said it seemed that everything would work and then it just didn't.  After spending oh about 40 more hours trying to make a high scores Board I am getting very frustrated.  My game is scripted in AS2 and I have access to mysql and can implement unlimited databases.

  Can someone help me please by sending an easy to follow tutorial will work with AS2?  I just like any type of help right now because I think that ALL my valid ideas would be ehausted.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

  Focus on using the LoadVars class rather than the loadVariables method.  Try searching Google using "AS2 LoadVars tutorial".  Here is a link that research...

• Can not see the dynamic text on the music video for the main stage

  Hello

  I'm a complete newbie to Actionscript using Flash MX. I created a clip with a dynamic text box which works fine when I test the movieClip stage.   I brought that on the main movie timeline, and when I go to test the movie, dynamic text no longer works.  I tried actionsript options on the main timeline and the chronology of the film but can not know where I am going wrong. Could someone give me a procedure not to not very basic as to what I have to do to make this work?

  Thank you

  Search for the loadVariables function so that you use it properly.

• Check when the file has loaded (AS2 in CS3)

  Hey everybody,
  
  I am writing a site and one of the things he's read variables from a database (using the following code to access a php file that makes the search database):
  
  loadVariablesNum ('loadvariables.php', 0, 'POST');
  
  It works perfectly, however after this I load a number of images based on the variables that are returned. I'm still pretty new flash so I don't think it's complicated, but I can't work out how put an eventlistener, or something similar, I can't say when loadvariables.php the loading is finished. Then I can just load the images in the oncomplete section (or equivalent).
  
  I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, because I can't seem to get by.
  
  Thank you very much everyone, I really appreciate your help.
  
  Dave

  You must use the loadvars() class that has the event listeners you need.  Otherwise, you need to create a loop that checks if these variables were loaded with loadvariablesnum().

• (Beginner..) e-mail form

  What's up guys?

  After a few tries, I finally got my email form to contact my PHP script and have that email.

  First of all, let me explain how my form is composed:

  I have 2 elements:

  (1) Movieclip 'form' which includes my text entry fields (ie: name, email, comment).

  (2) send button.

  Here is the code for my send button:

  on (release) {}

  If (name eq ' ' or post eq "" or comment eq "") {}

  Stop ();

  } else {}

  form.loadVariables ("send.php", "POST");

  play();

  }

  }

  Still, the electronic part works fine. What I'm trying to do with the part "if/else", is to make sure that none of these things are left blank. Otherwise, the user can simply press 'send' and he would send an empty email to every time.

  As you can see, I'm not very experienced with Actionscript.

  Help?

  Thank you guys!

  Use now:

  on (release) {}

  If (form.name_txt.text == "" |) Form.email_txt. Text == ' | Form.body_txt. Text == "") {}

  do everything.  one of the textfields is empty

  } else {}

  form.loadVariables ("send.php", "POST");

  Play();

  }

• Loading the output of php in flash to determine the message

  Hello

  I use the following tutorial to create a message from php page, however, even in their example, I can't get the php echo function to send the output to the dynamic text fields: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/email/index.php .

  Here is the code for the button send php variables and to attempt to capture the echo php 'sent' or 'error '.

  on (release) {
      //    Now import the variables we
      //    need to send in this movie clip
      sender_mail = _root.Semail.text
      sender_name = _root.Sname.text
      sender_subject = _root.Ssubject.text
      sender_message = _root.Smessage.text
      //    all the vars we just imported
      //    will be sent via POST method now
      loadVariables("sendmail.php",this,"POST");
      //    and when receives the answer from
      //    the server...
      this.onData = function()
      {
          //    ok, next frame
          _root.nextFrame();
          if(this.output=='sent')
          {
              // in case of success
              _root.errTitle = 'Thank You.';
              _root.errType = "Your message has been succesfully sent.";
          } else {
              //    else
              _root.errTitle = "Error!";
              _root.errType = "Attention, an error occurred. Please try again later.";
          }
      }
  }
  
  Here is the php which should echo the "sent" or "error"
  
  <?
  if(!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_subject']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name']))
  {
       $to = "[email protected]";
       $subject = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_subject']);
       $body = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']);
       $body .= "\n\n---------------------------\n";
       $body .= "Mail sent by: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail']  . ">\n";
       $header = "From: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";
       $header .= "Reply-To: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";
       $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";
       $header .= "X-Priority: 1";
       if(@mail($to, $subject, $body, $header))
       {
            echo "output=sent";
       } else {
            echo "output=error";
       }
  } else {
       echo "output=error";
  }
  ?>
  
  The email does send fine, but it does not show the message which lets the user know the status of the message.  Any ideas?  There is a link to download the .zip file of the tutorial - I have attached it here.

  place these two textfields in their own frame of _root 1.  Add a picture (but NOT a keyframe) in box 2 layer of the textfields.  Repeat the test.
