Send variables from flash to PHP

• Send variables from flash AS2 to php mySQL

  Hi I have a question to adobe. So I finally created a system to connect / register with php and mysql and flash as2. That works, and here's the link:lumosityentertainment.hostei.com/PhPLoginSystem.swf

  But I have a question. How to send variables from flash as2 to my mySQL database? And then how to load their MySQL to flash as2? Also when variables get edited or changed as if I had 6 gold and then now I have 7 but how do send flash that updated data in my database? I know you use php and other things but I have examples of easy php and codes as2? I'm a beginner in php, but I know a decent amount of AS2. I searched all over google and adobe for the answer forums, but none of them really helped. I am currently working on a flash game on my site and I'm doing so that players can save as their gold, armor, weapons etc and then load them by logging into their account.  Here is my game that I currently use cookies to save the data:

  lumosityentertainment.enjin.com/playfantasydreams

  var sendLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

  var receiveLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

  receiveLV.onData = function(src:String) {}

  trace (SRC);  or be it for debugging

  }

  sendLV.somedata = somedata;

  sendLV.someotherdata = someotherdata;

  sendLV.sendAndLoad ("yourphp.php", receiveLV, "POST");

  /////////////////////////////////

  ////

  PHP

  .

  .

  $somedata = $_POST ['somedata'];

  $someotherdata = $_POST ['someotherdata'];

  write to your sql

  {if (whatever)}

  echo "success";

  } else {}

  echo "failed."

  }

• Passing variables from flash to php script - does not!

  Hey everybody. I was wondering if someone could help me. I use as2 to pass a variable from flash to my php and nothing happened! Here's the action script code that I put on my button:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = amount.text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  The amount of '5' is now in a dynamic text field with the variable name and instance of amount (which, in the future, will be hidden). This works very well when the button is clicked. What I'm trying to do without success, is to get this value of '5' to my test.php and did echo and it happens simply not . It comes to my php script:

  <? PHP

  $form_inp = $_POST ["amount"];

  If ($form_inp == "'")

  {

  Print "nothing entered < br >".

  }

  on the other

  {

  Print "you entered: $form_inp";

  }

  ? >

  I'm getting "Nothing entered" every time.

  I've tried different ways for the amount.text such as:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = this. Amount.Text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  and

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = this ._parent. Amount.Text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  etc...

  I also tried to change the variable name in the function sendAndLoad amount to form1 as follows:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = amount.text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php",form1, "POST");

  }

  and still nothing.

  In my php file, I even tried the GET instead of the POST and it always turns out nothing.

  <? PHP

  $form_inp = $_GET['monto"];

  If ($form_inp == ")

  {

  Print "nothing entered < br >".

  }

  on the other

  {

  Print "you entered: $form_inp";

  }

  ? >

  Additional info:  I put the .swf file and at the same level-.php file in the same folder on my server just to be safe, and the dynamic amount.text text field and button are at the same level in the .swf file.

  Anyone can shed some light on my situation... pretty please? I'm out!

  Thank you very much.

  Ok. So, do not let this thread unanswered, after a looooooong of trial and error, I went to as3 and began to do some testing. It turned out that the register_globals was off on my site and that is why I did not receive the variable passed with the $_POST in my php. So what I finally proposed is the following:

  In my fla/swf doc:

  to import flash.net.URLVariables;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  import flash.net.sendToURL;

  var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables;

  urlVariables.amount = "5";

  var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://mirador.mx/oaxaca/disco/receive_test.php");

  urlRequest.data = urlVariables;

  sendToURL (urlRequest);

  In my php file:

  $amount = $_GET ["amount"];

  echo "' AMOUNT IS:". " $amount;

  Now for all of you who have been following this thread, or which can be read in the future, I know that we we started with AS2 and finishing here with AS3 but I didn't know why it worked until I I'm so fed up I've changed in AS3 to see if I could understand. I, like many others I guess, felt a bit intimidated with AS3 and was unwilling to give it a try, but I highly recommend that you dive into it because once get you a grip on it is much more functional.

  So I m going to mark this thread as a response and hope it saves someone else all the time and the frustration that he made me... Good programming!

• Sending vars from Flash php for various events?

  Hello

  I have an AIR application that downloads a txt file to a server, and I have a progress bar set up in the AIR for the user.

  The php file that handles the download then open the txt file, analyzes and sanitize content, and inserts them into mysql.

  I was wondering if there is a way to make php tell Flash what is happening at each stage of the operation?

  For the moment, my progress bar gets to 100%, once the txt file stops downloading but crashes then until php ended the backend stuff.  It's very well - I like the movieclip of progress bar remains there until the mysql insert is complete, but I was wondering if it would be possible to reset the progress of return and move as php continues with the insert analysis and mysql, or return a series of vars text saying 'Parsing text file' then 'update database '?

  I understand that you can only echo Flash once, and I also came across this Flash bug which does not accept variables back when you download a file instead of simply downloading variable.

  Thanks for your help and happy new year!

  PHP can echo data back to Flash more than once.

• pass variables from flash to authorware

  Hello
  
  If I have a button in flash and want to send a string of varibales to authorware:
  -example code-
  Flash code.
  {We (Release)}
  fscommand ("variable", "var1, var2, var3, var4")
  }
  Authorware code.
  EvalAssign (EventLastMatched [#command] ^ ": = EventLastMatched [#args]")
  Trace (EventLastMatched [#args])
  ActionFuntion (EventLastMatched [#args])
  Quit()
  
  In the authorware file, I would like to highlight this string and breakit in authorware and apply it to the ActionFuntion.
  
  Help, please.
  
  Thanks daniel

  If you have a string "var1, var2, var3, var4" you want to get each
  element of?

  Repeat with i = 1 to LineCount (EventLastMatched [#args], ',')
  lines : = GetLine (EventLastMatched [#args], I, I, ',')
  end repeat

  Must establish each element of the sting in a separate list item in the
  linear list of lines. I really don't understand what you are tying to
  do, so I use a list here for demonstration purposes, but perhaps you
  you want to replace the second line with:

  ActionFunction (GetLine (EventLastMatched [#args], i, i, ','))

  Who will call ActionFunction each time that the loop works and send it to the
  next element in the chain. In your case, it will call...

  ActionFunction ("var1")
  ActionFunction ("var2")
  ActionFunction ("var3")
  ActionFunction ("var4")

  -What are you trying to achieve?

• CF pass variables from Flash

  You're not "enforcement" a page of the CF, just read the content.

  The road should be something like (if you are testing your machine):
  my_lv. Load (" http://127.0.0.1//OC//theDate.cfm"); or the corresponding URL (and the Web server must be configured to run CF pages)

• High Score Table: writing a Simple with Flash and PHP text file

  I'm having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP that I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store data simple name partition for a games Hi score table. I can read the text file in Flash fairly easily, but I also have to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. Can I send data from flash to php by POST file, but so far it does not. The PHP file is confirmed that the work that I added an echo in the file that displays a message to verify that the server is running PHP - files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them correctly. Flash code is as follows:

  FileWriter php

  var myLV = new LoadVars();

  sendData() {} function

  //sets variable 'hsdata' to send to php

  myLV.hsdata = myText;

  myLV.send ("hiscores.php");

  }

  I believe that it sends the variable "myText" in the php file in a variable called 'hsdata' I want the php file to write to a text file. The mytext variable is just a long chain that has all of the partitions and the names in the scores. OK, XML would be best way to do it, but for the speed, I want to just get the basic features of work, so store a shot of simple text is sufficient for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash variable "hsdata" and wrote for the "scores.txt" text file is due to:

  <? PHP

  sets the variable to the data posted from flash

  $flashdata = $_POST ['hsdata'];

  File Manager opens the file and clears all content with arg w

  $fh = fopen ("scores.txt", "w");

  Adds data to the file

  fwrite ($fh, $flashdata);

  closes the file

  fclose ($fh);

  echo "php file works;

  ? >

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I get php to write text files simple I should be ok. Thank you.

  var outLV = new LoadVars();

  var inLV = new LoadVars();

  sendData() {} function

  outLV.hsdata = 'Hello from Flash';

  outLV.sendAndLoad ("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php", inLV,"POST");

  }

  inLV.onLoad = {function (success)}

  If (success) {}

  sets the dynamic text box to show the variable sent by php

  statusTxt.text = this.phpmess;

  } else {}

  statusTxt.text = 'No Data Received';

  }

  };

  It works well and function of inLV.onLoad of the reports it receives data, but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:

  <>

  $mytxt = $_POST ['hsdata'];

  $myfile = "test23.txt";

  $fh = fopen ($myfile, 'w');

  Adds data to the file

  fwrite ($fh, $mytxt);

  closes the file

  fclose ($fh);

  $mess = "Hello there php ';

  echo "phpmess =". "." $mess;

  ?>

• Flash to PHP using LoadVars.send

  
  For the life of me, I've tried everything:
  I searched for LoadVars on Adobe forum, David Powers used, google books 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc and tried sendAndLoad, shipment and use of $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I continue we get this same error. advice please?
  
  I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load pairs name / value in a table - see thread)
  
  My goal with this simple application is to prototype can pass a variable from flash to a PHP variable.
  
  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in flash_to_SQL.php on line 5 the meantime

• values between Flash and PHP

  I use AS2 and passing some values from flash to php, files flash is on page file1.php values pass very well, he pass values when the user, click the button

  When the button is pressed {var myVal:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); myVal.flieName = "fileid1"; myVal.send ("file1.php", "_parent", "POST");}

  Problem: when she passes the values, it refreshes the page and Flash file is also refreshed, and Flash from frame 1 and all the values on flash becomes by default, in other words, when the user click on "file1.php" is submitted, so that the page is refreshed what's the solution, which, after passing the values from the page rest or flash remains as it is (do not update content)

  use:

  {

  var receiveLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

  {receiveLV.onData = function (src)}

  }

  I'm moving a single variable from PHP to Flash. However, I can't quite make it work.
  
  In a PHP file named data.php, I use:
  "$query = SELECT SUM (Debt) As Total OF THE debtclock;
  $result = mysql_query ($query);
  $debt = mysql_result ($result, "Total");
  Print "debttotal = $debt";
  
  In Flash 8 Actionscript, I use:
  loadVariables("data.php","0");
  
  If I understand correctly, this should make the variable available in Flash debttotal.
  
  Can someone tell me where I'm wrong?

  Try this:
  loadVariables ("data.php", _level0);
  The 2nd parameter specifies the target that receives variables, '0' is not a valid value for this. With _level0, variables will be found in the root timeline, so you can access it with _root.debttotal (from _level0) or _level0.debttotal (on a different level than _level0).

• Appeal of a variable from within an AS3 movieclip in Flash CS4

  I'm trying to back up a string variable from within a movieclip that is in an another movieclip on the main timeline to help:

  trace (VariableString);

  and also

  trace (stage. VariableString);

  No work

  The variable is a textfield of entry as well as traces very well when it is on the main timeline, but won't work inside the movieclip. I am using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4.

  I appreciate this has probably been discussed before on this forum but I can't find an answer of difinitve that seems to work.

  Thank you

  When I put "MovieClip (root)" I tried that literally... not MovieClip1 (root).  You will need to cast to the class of the root object, who, most often using MovieClip() enough (among others, like object).

  What I don't see is happening is that you be able to get the value of the text of MovieClip1 the way that you say you do.  If MovieClip1 contains a text input component, then to get the value of this text you need to target the text property of the element inside the MovieClip1, as in...

  VariableString1 = MovieClip1.textInputName.text.

• Flash and PHP

  Hi, let's say I have a dynamic text field (name of the variable is "txt") that I wanted to read a PHP file and output the content from there.

  My AS code is:

  var myPHP:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

  myPHP.load ("variables.php"); my php file

  myPHP.onLoad = function (success: Boolean) {}

  If (success) {}

  txt = myPHP.msg; display content from php

  }

  }

  PHP code in variables.php:

  <? PHP

  Define Variables

  $msg = ($_GET ['msg']);

  Send it to Flash

  echo "msg = $msg;

  ? >

  If I key in the url as follows and send something to the msg:

  variables.php? MSG = Hello

  It will echo "msg = Hello", but the text inside the flash field turns out to be empty, not indefinite or anything like that. However, if I hardcode the php file from:

  $msg = "hello";

  It will always echo "msg = Hello" but the flash file displays the text accordingly.

  Can someone tell me why? Thank you!

  parseQueryF() returns an object with your variables as keys.   Thus,.

  var queryObj:Object = parseQueryF (your_url_string_with_query);

  trace (queryObj.sender, queryObj.Receiver);

  do not change below.

  function parseQueryF(s:String):Object {}

  var o: Object = {};

  var s1:String = s.split ("?") [1] ;

  var a:Array = s1.split ("&"); ")

  for (var i: int = 0; i<>

  var varVal: Array = a [i] .split ("=");

  o [varVal [0]] = varVal [1];

  }

  }

  p.s. Please mark answers useful/correct, if there is.
