CF Flash Forms AS Question

I have a flash form embedded in a CF7 page. I have a pair of
radio buttons along with a tab navigator on the form. I want to
make it so that if the second radio button is clicked, the entire
tab navigator control becomes disabled. I know I could do this by
putting actionscript into the onClick handler of the radio button.
What I don't know how to do is refer to the tabnavigator. That type
of control doesn't have a name attribute, so how do I set its
"enabled" attribute?
My radio button looks like this:
<cfinput type="radio" name="accept" onClick =
"?????.enabled = no;">

Thanks a lot ScareCrow, that worked perfectly. It's weird, I
use the CF 7 WACK book for reference, and it doesn't list that "id"
attribute for cfformgroup. I guess I'll stick to the livedocs from
now on. Thanks again.

Flash forms in Safari 3.0

I just installed the new Apple Safari 3.0 for Windows. I
wanted to see how our web site would work with the new browser. I
found that flash forms do not load. All I get is a blue lego block
with question marks. I checked the plugins and there is a listing
for "Shockwave Flash" version 9.0 r45. Is there something else that
needs to be installed to make this work?
Thanks,
Don

Count me on with the problem. We are running CF 7. I have
also not found anything. I did report it using the little bug in
Safari 3 and have been looking for the latest releases of the
browser. I love the browser overall (I am an apple fan) but we need
this to work. I am wondering if the problem is in how CF renders
and puts out the flash content. Some kind of meta data that is not
up to date? Have no clue however.

Flash Forms do not work in Production

My question is simple. I am unable to find server
requirements for Flash forms anywhere on Adobe's website. It claims
you can find more in the other technical documentation but I
couldn't. What technologies need to be installed in order to
utilize flash forms SERVER-WISE?
I have a production server, a pre-production server (running
full cfmx7), and a development server. The application works on the
test machine, and on pre-production. The flash form simply does not
render and no errors are displayed.
If I convert it to a normal cfform it displays fine on the
troubled machine. It will not display even the most simple of flash
forms.
Thanks for any help!

Did you make sure that you have a virtual directory mapped to
the CFIDE directory in IIS on your production server?

Has anyone seen this with Flash Forms / CF8?

I have a website that uses a few flash forms on different
pages. It's on a CF8 server and the clients are generally IE6.
Sometimes all works well, sometimes the flash form on a page
doesn't show up.
Refreshing the browser, closing/re-opening the browser don't
work. Restarting CF doesn't work.
I put the same code on another CF8 server and access with IE7
and it works fine.
Why the heck would a form show or not show intermittently
when nothing has changed in the site code or server settings?
Thanks in advance.

I am seeing this on a CF7 installation. What I noticed is
that it started on 10/31, which is the very date that Microsoft
patches were rolled out to all of our users. The updates in
question were the following:
KB921503
KB936021
KB938127
KB938829
I have NOT verified that there is a relationship, but the
patches were applied IMMEDIATELY before the problems started, right
in the middle of the day. It is far too coincidental to assume
there is not a relationship. This is affecting my flash forms, and
also some of my javascript combo boxes.
I will update when I discover more, and if others would do
the same I would appreciate reading about it.

Passing value from child to parent (flash form)

Dear all,
I have 2 pages (both flash form): First.cfm (parent) and
Second.cfm (child).
In First.cfm, I have a textbox and a button. Once I click the
button it will load the Second page.
In Second.cfm, I have a button. Both pages are still active.
Now the question is .. when I click the button on the Second
page, how to pass the value back to the First page and assign it to
my textbox in my First page? I want the value to be displayed in my
textbox without reloading the First page.
Any suggestions and examples?
This codes do not work in Flash Form. But if I use HTML with
a bit of modification then it works. How to make it work in Flash?

this is first.cfm

You address the parent from the child using:
this._parent.sMyVariableName = "whatever";

File upload in flash forms

In our CMS the forms need a relook. There are many forms and all built width tables and so on. I decided to experiment with flash forms. Not convinced yet because they are slow to load.
But I wanted to give it a try anyway, but now I need a form with a couple of 'normal' input fields AND a field where people can upload an image. It looks like the flash form doesn't support that. Oh no that can't be true, such a simple feature. Please tell me I am wrong and there is a workaround....
Other question, can I implement the CKeditor in a flash form?
I am also considering redoing the forms with dhtmlx components like you find at http://dhtmlx.com
What would you advise me? I can also go back to the good old forms and really invest in the CSS
Bianca

Since you requested advice, mine is to use html forms.
I gotta say I agree. With JQuery being as mature as it is now, I don't see a very good case for Flash-based forms.
Bianca, do you have a reason for wanting to use Flash forms? If nothing else, you will be preventing anyone who uses IOS from using said forms. I say Apple users bring this sort of thing on themselves, but - rightly or wrongly - they do represent an increasing chunk of the browser market.

Flash Forms & CFGRID

I have flash form where I can transfer items between 2 grids.
The idea is to take items from grid1 and move to grid2 and on
submit it will take items from grid2 and instert them into the
database. This part works fine as long as grid2 is empty, but when
I go to edit these items so grid 2 already has items in it, any
item that I add from grid1 doesn't save. I even tried function
where all items in grid2 get edited and this way they would be set
to U as action, but it doesn't work. I use <cfif
isdefined("Form.grid2.rowstatus.action")> and then loop db
insert as Form.grid2.rowstatus.action index.
Is there a way to take all items from a grid regardless if
they are updated/inserted and submit them?

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

Do Flash Forms kill form spam?

This may be a real newby question. Is it possible to stop
100% of form spam by using a hidden field in a Flash form, and then
simply testing for is presence on the page the form posts to? Is it
really this easy?

Flash forms have a lot of disadvantages compared to html form
for both the user and the developer. If spam is your concern, look
up a concept called captcha.

Flash form not loading in IE6

Hello, all.
The issues are just appearing out of the woodworks, now.
The project I am working on (
http://www.goldininstitute.org/staging_directory/)
now has yet another issue - in IE6, the flash form does not load at
all. It's supposed to be in the lower left corner - a login form,
just username and password with a submit button - and works great
in FF/NN/Op, but does not appear at all in IE6. Is this another
security issue for IE? Form code follows:

So does Flash Forms not work in Safari?

Does Flash Forms not work on Safari Browser? I have them on
my site but when I try to look at them in Safari, they don't work..
Or do I need to just add some type of extension to my Safari
Browser to View a Flash Form?
Here is the page. it won't work in Safari.. unless I"m
missing an install extension. I just downloaded the browser for
Windows for the first time today and so I wanted to check my site
in that browser.

yes but still no luck. When you go here do you see my flash
form load in Safari? I'm using Safari for Windows not mac.

Dreamweaver and visual editing of ColdFusion Flash Forms

Does anyone nows how to
Visual edit ColfFusion Flash Forms in Dreamweaver CS3
??

The second part of your question doesn't make sense or you
are not explaining correctly. You have a grid which spawns a popup,
user selects company name and binds to text field. Ok. But you
should then submit that info to a query, no?
Also look into this:

Flash Forms Not Appearing

I have an intranet web site on a server that I manage. I have
flash forms up and running on a daily basis.
I just recently added another website to the same box, with a
new IP Address. I copied the Flash forms over to the new site, but
none of them work.
The error I get is "lc_id is undefined". on line 175.
There is no lc_id in any of my databases, or any of my cfm
pages. There never has been. I suspect this is an internal file
used by the flash form. Heck, none of the pages in question even
have a line 175!
Is there something that I need to turn on in IIS to get Flash
to work on the new site? Permission changes perhaps?

Fixed.
I just had to copy my CFIDE directory from the working site
to the new site.

CF8 Flash forms nor server monitor not working on authenticated server

Have bee troubleshooting an issue with the server monitor and
flash forms not working on a CF8 server that is completely
authenticated. You can see the full thread of the issue here
http://groups.google.com/group/houcfug/browse_thread/thread/71160184e762587f?hl=en
In the pre-cf8 days, we had implemented the following "fix"
for NT Authentication with CF Templates
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18516
However, when I uncheck the "Check that file exists" flag in
IIS6, both the server monitor and the CFFORM type = flash are now
both working. Am I making a tradeoff between NT security and
Flash/Flex?
My question is this, is the "fix" referenced in the KB
article abonve still needed for CF8?
If so, do I have to decide between security and Flash/Flex or
is there a way to have both NT security and flash/flex on the
server?
If not, I would suggest that somebody from Adobe make an edit
to the KB article pointing out that the "Fix" is not needed for CF8
and if implemented will break the server monitor and flash forms
and Flex on that CF server.
Thanks,
M

I mean when I open the administrator and click on Launch
Server Monitor it does nothing. Does not open and as far as I can
tell no error is generated or logged. If I open it outside of the
the administrator it opens but when I click on Statistics or Alerts
I get a logon Server Monitor logon box that tells me that the
ColdFusion Server is not started.

I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
I Have used a template from another site with the following
input boxes:
Name: __________
Email: __________
Comments: ____________
However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
script,
when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
messed the script up somhow.
When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
here is the code:
on submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
sent email messege
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
and the php script (mailer.php)
php form email.pho
<?php
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
// now we can add the content of the message to a body
variable
$message = $_POST["message"];
// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
sent?
Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
I want something like this:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Mobile:
Email:
Website:
Comments:
Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
a form that actually works, then add more text fields
Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
and php to add more fields easy.
I really need some help with this, its turning into a
nightmare for me.
I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
to take a look at what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Pan
ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
this line i know i must put in my own email.

This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
variables created on that timeline are sent.
So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
form timeline.
Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
we can tell you more specifically.
