Email form data from within Flash

Hi all,
I have searched the Interent and written to several forums
asking this same question however no one either seems to know the
answer or just does not want to advise me in any way. I have
however had a few responses however none of them paid off.
My Question:
I am in the process of creating a flash website and I am on
the last little function I wish to provide. I want to create a
flash contact us form as some people might not have an email client
set up therefore I don't want to just but a mailto URL in.
I have built the form and named the input text boxes, and
believe I have most of the action script complete. I need to know
how to use Coldfusion to validate the flash form and then send the
email with the form data in it. As far as I can understand in flash
I create a LoadVars method which puts all the form data in this and
when the user click the submit button flash should send the
loadvars to a CFC or simliar page. This coldfusion page
(server-side) handles the processing , i.e. validation reports back
if need be or continues to send the information to a predefined
email address i.e. [email protected]
Can some one please help either point me in a direction of a
tutorial(s) or provide me with an example of what I am trying to
do. I am currently running Flash 8 and Coldfusion 8 not sure if
this has any bearing on what I am trying to do. I am not sure if I
require Flash Remoting or not, however I do remember reading (not
sure if this is correct) Coldfusion has Flash Remoting integrated.
I appreciate any help, support or advise anyone can offer on
this issue. I am keen to get this moving as my project end date is
fast approaching.

Hi,
For sending email there is no need to use remoting...

Starting a quicktime movie from within flash?

Hello,
I am very new to flash and would like to know if this is
possible? I have a flash template that I am using for a business
card CD. I would like to have a jpeg image (within the flash
template) act as a button that when pressed opens a full screen
quicktime movie. Is this possible from within flash? Would it make
a difference if I export everything to a quicktime movie? If flash
can't do this would there be a 3rd party software that would enable
me to do this? Any suggestions or options would be much
appreciated!

Kevin

Hi,
This you can achieve via Interactive Adobe forms.
Refer this [Link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d1cb99-46cf-2b10-8880-85004a301283].

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

Send form data from Coldfusion to ASP

I need to send form data from CF to ASP.
I submit a CF page and validate it on my end with another CF
page, which then needs to post the results to an asp page on
another site. The post has to be sent via SSL and I don't need to
and cannot receive any status message back from the remote ASP
site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking
some type of cfhttp, but I am not very familiar with its usage.
Thanks!

It doesn't matter what type of page you are sending to as
long as it can handle the data that is sent. Either a form or
cfhttp will work.

How to save CD files to disk from within Flash?

Is there any way I can copy files from a swf in a CD ROM to

In the .swf, I need to put buttons to downloads of wallpapers
and stuff.
This is where my troubles start...
tks for your time.

When can we publish Air 3.0 from within Flash IDE?

Hi,
I am very eager to get started on developing with Air 3.0.
I'm using Flash CS5.5, but natively Air 3.0 is not available from within the IDE. I know I can publish using the command line, but this is really a bit to complicated for me.
Can anyone tell me if and when we can expect an update for Flash CS5.5 so we can publish Air 3.0 files from within the IDE directly?
Thanx!

There are two ways of being able to publish to AIR 3,0 from within Flash CS5.5. You can either rename the AIR2.6 folder and put in the AIR3.9 folder, renamed to AIR2.6. That, of course, won't let you do code completion on new features, or see any interface changes. Or you can follow the long winded overlay process, and then would be able to do code completion.
Are you saying that the long winded overlay way still doesn't give an option to publish with captive runtime? When you said that copying the SDK wouldn't give new UI options, that made me think you were saying that the more elaborate overlay would would.
So, users are then stuck with FB4.6 public beta, command line, or waiting for "Flash Next" before being able to publish captive runtime Android apps.

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails

Is their way to prevent a form data from being lost when a validation fails?

So I would use APEX_COLLECTION (there is some information in APEX documentation).
Read all data you need to keep after submit and save them to your collection. Then, if validation fails, show report with data not from base, but from your collection. You have to create process, which creates collection, and you need to modify your report definition to get data not only from DB but also from collection.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Accessing Datagrid row data from within an itemRenderer

I would like to know how I can access another row's data from within an itemRenderer. I need to do some formatting of my cells based on other row data. Here's what I mean... I have a datagrid and in row 0 col 2's itemRenderer I would like to access row 1 col 1's data in order to do a comparison so I can determine how to format row 0 col 2's data and so on. Is there a way from within the item renderer to reach into another row and access the data? I can't seem to find a clear answer so I thought I'd go to the pro's.
Thanks!!

You can use this code to get to the dataProvider of the grid.
var o:Object = this.parent.parent;
var dp:Object = o.dataProvider;

How to transfer data from USB flash drive to iPad Air?

How do I transfer files and data from a USB flash drive, or from a PC, to an iPad Air?

With a USB flash drive you might, if the drive doesn't require too much power, be able to copy photos and/or videos (if they are under a DCIM directory on the drive and their filenames are exactly 8 characters plus file extension) from it to the iPad's Photos app via the camera connection kit.
What sort of files do you want to copy to your iPad, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports the file type that you want to copy to it ? Everything on your iPad has to be stored within an app, it doesn't have a 'file system' like a computer. Different apps have different ways of copying content to/from them e.g. via the file sharing section on the iPad's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox.

Component data transfer within flash

as read in an earlier post, flash 4 was user friendly, flash
8 is quite impossible, until you get used to it...
anyway, i need to transfer component data from say page 1 to
5 and store on to page 6 before sending.
i have no probs with Input text, using same name var. with
dynamic text.
i know it is simple but i have been trying for days
now.

If you're within a single running application, you really don't need XML to move data around inside it. I suppose you could do so anyway, if you're some kind of crazy masochist.
Though who knows what you mean by "transfering data within an application". Data tends to move around in one form or another in every application.

Methods of opening emailed form data

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to streamline opening data submitted using the submit email function in LiveCycle Designer 7. Is there anyway to have the data open in the form automatically when the email is received from the customer? It seems quite tedious to rename and save the data file, then go find the appropriate pdf, open it, and then go and import the data. Any ideas???
Nathan

> Is there anyway to have the data open in the form automatically when the email is received from the customer?
No absolutely not. Mail programs have locked out this kind of thing
very strongly - it would be like saying "how can I have this program
run automatically when I attach it and send it to a customer".
> It seems quite tedious to rename and save the data file, then go find the appropriate pdf, open it, and then go and import the data.
That sounds a bit tedious, though perhaps necessary if there is to be
any kind of system to storing the files you receive (this is why web
solutions are so much more preferable).
But in general you don't have to open the PDF then import the data IF
the PDF was originally on a web site. Opening the form data will be
enough, as it will contain the URL of the original data file. This
won't work, however, if you sent the user a local copy to fill, as it
will contain the filename THEY used.

Email Form Data

When using the send email trigger to send the data from a form, how must I format a series of checkboxes so that the labels or text next to the checkboxes are only sent if the box has been checked? I have accomplished this with php mail using and IF POST ECHO type statement but I didn't need to enter the data into a database. With ADDT, my understanding is you need an insert transaction prior to using the send email trigger so I made a table for the data and set each option as an individual field with binary as the type. Is this the wrong way to do it from the get go.
I appreciate your help. This is a great forum.

How to copy form data from one pdf to another?

Hi,
I have created a pdf, added form data to it. Saved the form data as a fdf file - all good.
I've updated the document and saved as a new pdf and would like to load the fdf data into it.
So I select tools - forms - more forms options, and press the "import" function - it goes grey and nothing happens.
If I re-open the document the import function remains greyed out.
I can find no way to import this data.... any ideas?
I've tried going into form edit mode - adding a new field. The import option is no longer greyed out so I click it and can select the fdf file hit open and ... the dialogue disappears and nothing happens.
Is my Acrobat XI 11.0.07 badly installed - or what?

You need to learn about the different types of PDFs. PDF/ A is an archive format that does not allow changes. PDF/X is used for graphics exchange
For forms I would use only the PDF with a target version. Do not use the Optimizer feature.
Forms always become larger due to the need to include the font for the various form fields. You might have to review the type fonts used by the form fields and one standard font as much a possible.
It is possible to use the FDF file to move field values from one PDF to another.
If you are trying to replace the underlying content and keep the form fields, use the replace pages.

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?
