Flash Forms - Binding

I am using flash forms, and trying to Bind data from one page
to the next. I have been able to get the binding to work for a text
field, but am not able to get it to work for a datefield. (I havent
even tried a radio input yet)
Any one have link to the correct syntax for datefield
binding? I have searched Adobe and Yahoo and have not come up with
anything specific to datefields with the actual syntax, they all
refer me to Live Docs, which apparently isnt working because the
pages all come up blank.

Hi Dlah,
Can u try this?
<CFINPUT LABEL="One of My Favorites"
NAME="is_MyFav"
STYLE="fontWeight:bold;"
TYPE="checkbox"
value="{(yourgridname.selectedItem!=undefined)?yourgridname.selectedItem.userfav:false}"
/>
Hope it helps
Cheers,
Keiko

Addition in Flash Forms

Hello. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I am making a
tabbed registration flash form and I would like the person
completing the form to see a total as he makes the selection for
what he will be attending. The way I approached the problem was to
bind an ActionScript function to the
GRANDTOTAL form field, but when the form finishes loading in
the browser, the
NaN error pops up. I tried to convert the field selections
explicitly to numbers to perform the addition, but it is obviously
not working. If anyone could shed some insight into this, that
would be great. Thank you in advance. The code for the tab that
handles the selection is below.

You need to store the information user have input before
somewhere. You can store it in local shared object, which is dubbed
as a "flash cookie" -- Flash MX. Then you will retrieve it at
execute an autofill. If you store the user's info in a remote
database -- you can loadVars from you server with the form
information.
Search for SharedObject in flash help -- it is pretty
straight forward and simple.
I forgot to mention that you will need to compare entry in
the form field with the stored info on each key stroke, naturally,
and display results in an additional text field, etc.
Hope it helps...

Hi-
I copied your form code and submitted the variables back to
that page, and got no error, for what that's worth. My guess is
that the prob. might be in the page you're submitting to rather
than in the form itself?

Cfselect, cfinvoke, cfgrid in flash forms

In an MX7.02 cfform format="flash"
I would like a user to select an option in a cfselect. (e.g.
name)
The selected value would be passed to a cfinvokeargument
the cfc returns the query results to a cfgrid
get agent names....
<CFINVOKE COMPONENT="agentQA"
METHOD="getAgents"
RETURNVARIABLE="aData">
populate cfselect....
<cfselect label="Agent" visable="yes" name="agent"
query="aData" value="message_author" display="message_author">
</cfselect>
query messages posted by the selected agent...
<CFINVOKE COMPONENT="agentQA"
METHOD="getquery"
RETURNVARIABLE="qData">
<cfinvokeargument name="agent" value="??????????????">
</cfinvoke>
don't know how to bind the selected agent name to the
argument????????
output only the selected agent's messages to messagesgrid
<cfgrid format="flash" width="100%" height="100%"
name="messagegrid" query="qData" rowheaders="false">
</cfgrid>
Any suggestions? I'm open to a different approach since I'm
just learning flash forms in CF.
Thanks,
Don

Using the
selected="[your value]" argument.
This can be a value from a query.
For instance, try the example in
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000331.htm
but add
selected="4" to the cfselect tag
i.e.:
<cfselect
name = "employeeid"
size = "1"
multiple="yes"
required = "No"
query = "GetAllEmployees"
display ="name"
value ="emp_id"
queryPosition="Below" width="100" selected="4">
4 is the emp_id value of Aaron Smith.
In your application, you would replace
selected="4" with
selected="[your database value]"

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:

Reset One field Only in Coldfusion Flash Form

I have a flash form with a fair amount date fields. I use the code
<cfinput type="datefield" name="DATE1" label="Diagnosis Date:" width="100" value="#now()#"/>
This is the master date field. It populates about 10 other date fields by using the following code for the other 10 fields.
<cfinput type="datefield" name="DATE2" label="Diagnosis Date:" width="100" bind={DATE1.txt}/>
There are certain cases where date fields 7-10 are not used. Unfortuantely, fields 7-10 in those cases are prepopulated because of the bind. I want to put a reset/clear button besides each of those date fields (7-10). Is there a way to code the reset/clear button to only clear the corresponding date field? Right now, I have the users choosing the same date as DATE1 to clear out the field. That is 2 clilcks. I would prefer the users just to click on a reset/clear button.
TIA!

Put this in your pipe. Does it smoke?
<cfform format="flash">
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfinput type="datefield" name="DATE1" label="Diagnosis Date 1:" width="100" value="#now()#"/>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfinput type="datefield" name="DATE2" label="Diagnosis Date 2:" width="100" bind="{DATE1.text}"/>
<cfinput type="button" name="date2button" onclick="{DATE2.text=''}" value="Reset Date 2">
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfinput type="datefield" name="DATE3" label="Diagnosis Date 3:" width="100" bind="{DATE1.text}"/>
<cfinput type="button" name="date3button" onclick="{DATE3.text=''}" value="Reset Date 3">

Just bind the URL field you have in the WSDl to the Image Field and I belive it should display the image.
Alternatively these links should give you some hints:-

Can ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm be used with a CF Flash Form ?

Hello,
Adobe has provided a great example of how
ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm can be used to submit forms without
refreshing or redirecting the page (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=JavaScriptFcns_01.html),
but does anyone know whether it can be used with flash forms ?
The attached code from the example compiles and runs
perfectly when the form has not been defined as flash, but when you
change <cfform name="myform"> to <cfform name="myform"
format="flash">, submitting produces the following error, likely
because it no longer recognizes the form name/ID:
Error!!! -1: ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm: Form not found, form
id: myform
Does anyone know how to integrate this feature into a flash
form ?
Thanks !
Lucien

Obviously it looks like you can not have <cfsetting
enablecfoutputonly="yes"> set in a cfm page that has Bind values
to a CFC, the behavior is unpredictable. I had to create an action
page to do the Asynch submit now it is returning a blank popup OK
form. The problem is still there and not returning any value
atall.

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.

Flash form error, can't use the same name more than once? need workaround

I've always written my forms to have multiple buttons, one
for updating and one for deleting. so in html I would do this:
<input type=submit name=action value=Update>
<input type=submit name=action value=Delete>
so I'm trying the same thing with flash forms in cold fusion:
<cfinput label="Update" name="action" type="submit"
value="Update">
<cfinput label="Delete" name="action" type="submit"
value="Delete">
but now I get this message:
2 Errors found.
Error /index.cfm:334
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Error /index.cfm:335
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Is there a way to make this work or do I have to either
create a special action_delete or a new form? I'd like to keep the
logic the way I like.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

I was hoping to do logic like this
<cfparam name="action" default="list">
<cfif action equal "list">
<cfelseif action equal "update">
<cfelseif action equal "detail">
<cfelseif action equal "delete">
</cfif>
So I just converted everything to html and things work the
way I like. thanks anyway. The forms don't really buy me anything.

Flash forms -- Not displaying in IE

This is my first foray into flash forms, and I discovered
yesterday that while they look/work beautifully in Firefox
(2.0.0.4), they're not displaying at all in IE (6 or 7).
I'm using it to force the user to input their date in a
uniform format, so I'm sure there's a non-flash workaround. I'd
like to get this sorted out though, so my future work with flash
can be more involved.
Code is attached. Please let me know if I can provide further
clarification.

Michael --
Thanks for your help.
I think I've narrowed the problem down -- it's not that it
won't display my flash form in IE, it's that it won't display it in
a Fusebox environment. I'm going to poke over at their site to see
what they have to say -- I suspect I'll need to upgrade the version
of Fusebox that I'm using. :)

How to validate date fields in the flash form

i want to validate the date fields to make sure the values
are not greater than today's date and from-date is less than or
equal to to-date in the flash form. Does the actionscript have a CF
DateDiff function for the validatation?
Thanks

I finally (after much reading up on actionscript) figured out
my problem with date validation...which was similar to yours...
I posted the solution I found for my AS date validation issue
here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=1232361
I hope it helps!!!

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.

In the code:
1) To ----> this field is okay since this email ID doesn't change

3) Subject ----> this may not be always as "Feedback", user may like to change the subject
Whant I would like to add more here is:
1) From ----> this text to be retrieved from "fromText.txt" input text box
2) Message ----> this text to be retrieved from "MessageText.txt" input text box

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?
