LoadVars() not working

My flash file loads variables from external text files. When
I run the swf file as a stand alone player it works great. However,
when I publish it with an html file and try to open it with the
html file (from my local harddrive with all files in the same
directory), the swf is unable to load the variables from the
external text files.
Here is a segment of my code:
myConfig = new LoadVars();
myConfig.onLoad = function(success)
if (success)
///// Get Course Name variable from ini file /////
myCourseName = this.courseName;
///// Get copyright variable from ini file /////
myCopyright = this.copyright;
///// Get Lesson Title variables from ini file/////
myLessons = new Array();
myLessons = this.lessons.split(";");
///// Get page variables from ini file /////
totalContent = new Array();
totalContent = this.pages.split(";");
///// Get title swf variable from ini file /////
myTitleScreen = this.titleScreen;
///// Get disclaimer info from ini file /////
myDisclaimer = this.disclaimer;
///// Get overview info from ini file /////
myOverview = this.overview;
myConfig.load(path+"/config.ini");

>>However, when I run the .swf on a different website
lets say
www.anotherexample.com/example.swf it doesn't work.. it
doesn't find the
www.example.com/main/sometext.txt
You'd need a cross domain policy file on example.com
permitting access from
anotherexample.com

LoadVars Not Working in 9 but fine 8

I have a SWF that has a form and LoadVars.send() to send the
form info to the server. It works in 8 but does not work in 9.0r16.
The SWF is on the image server domain for several sites and
the SJP file that it sends to is on a different domain. I have a
crossdomain.xml in the file that the domain that recieves the forma
data.
Should the crossdomain.xml file be on the image server
instead?
If it is in the DOCROOT of that server do I still have t o
load it with System.security.loadPolicyFile?
Does that override what I put in
System.security.allowDomain("")?
Is my problem even cross domain related? since that should be
a problem in 8 as well and in 8 it works just fine.

First thing - all webpages should have a doctype. Yours doesn't. Add one that is consistent with the code you have already used on the page (looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional). This will prevent browsers from rendering the page in quirks mode (a bad thing).
Second - don't use commas or spaces in file/pathnames:
background-image: url(images/Touring%20Sport%20-%20Sports%20Tours,%20Schools%20Tours%20and%20Corporate%20To urs.jpg);
Third - when you specify a font, do it as a family, not a single font. In your case, a computer that doesn't have Helvetica will default to Times New Roman, which is probably not what you intended:
.Contact_Header {
font-family: Helvetica;
Fourth - justified text is not very satisfactory on the web, and is harder to read than non-justified text:
.Main_Text {
font-family: Helvetica;
color: #666;
text-align: justify;
Finally, in addition to these things, wonky code is the cause of your problems. Here is the validation report for this page - there are many things there that need to be fixed -

Loadvars not working on external domain

Hi,
I have Domain1 that is hosting my flash .swf file, and Domain2 that is linking to that .swf file. In the flash file I have a;
loadVars.send("another-domain.com", "_self", "POST");
command. When the flash file is placed anywhere on a page on Domain1, this works perfectly fine. But when placed on Domain2 (and other domains), this loadVars statement does not work and does not forward to another-domain.com.
But when I change "_self" to "_blank" - the statement works fine on Domain2.
Why doesn't "_self" work on external domains?
Thanks

This is my cross-domain.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
I've allowed access from every domain. Have I done something wrong here?

LoadVars not working on Nokia N95 (US)

Hi there,
Each time my FL 2.0 standalone app tries to connect to a
remote server, the application quits after I selest the WLAN
connection to use for the connection from the system dialog. Below
is the code in question. Running on the Device Central emulator
works fine. Anyone else run into this issue?
(Note, I've also tried this with Nokia's tutorial app:
http://www.bysamir.fr/flashlite/nokiadev/Latest_Nokia_Devices.zip
- same problem)
Sequence:
1. Launch SWF as standalone app
2. Enter text in textField within app
3. Call loadVars function
4. System dialog appears asking which WLAN connection to use
5. Select Access Point (AP) in system dialog
6. Application quits! ??
NOTE: I can connect to the AP normally using the web browser
on the phone, so I know the connection works.
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == ExtendedKey.SOFT1) {
// Handle left soft keypress event.
sendText(inputField.text);
} else if (Key.getCode() == ExtendedKey.SOFT2) {
// Handle right soft keypress event.
fscommand2("Quit");
Key.addListener(myListener);
function sendText(myText) {
responseField.text = "sending msg";
var rvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
rvars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
responseField.text=this.msg;
} else {
responseField.text = "Failed!";
var svars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
svars.inputMsg = inputField.text;
svars.sendAndLoad(myURL,rvars,"GET");
Device: Nokia N95-3 (US Edition)

Using Sony Ericsson k800i with itunes non-drm tracks and they are playing without any problems. Used itunes agent application to sync phone memory card with itunes smart playlist (filter for "purchased"). Great that I can now use purchased itunes tracks on my ipod and phone!
Maybe the N95 only supports aac up to a certain bit rate? Or check the file format (m4a?).

LOADVARS not working ...NEED HELP!!!

I am trying to create a phonebook with mx 2004 pro, asp, and
sql (access for now) using IE 6 sp2
if i use the following it loads the returning variables into
the textbox -but I don't know how i am unable to create an array
and send them to a datagrid:
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("dbphone0.asp?Record=" add myrecord, 0);
myrecord="";
firstName="";
lastName="";
City="";
errorMsg="Please wait";
if i use the following i get nothing back:
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(evt:Object) {
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
firstName = result_lv.firstName;
} else {
firstName = "Error connecting to server.";
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.myrecord = myrecord.text;
send_lv.sendAndLoad("dbphone0.asp", result_lv, "POST");
submit_button.addEventListener("click", submitListener);
and if I use the following i get my results back in a new IE
window:
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(evt:Object) {
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {

var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.myrecord = myrecord.text;
send_lv.send("dbphone0.asp", "POST");
submit_button.addEventListener("click", submitListener);
I have played with it for hours trying to use this.firstName
or firstName.text so on and so on the debugger doesn't seem to work
(remote debugging with the activex plugin does nothing) the
internal one doesn't hit the database to pull the info.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

You need to restore the iPod via iTunes. Try the following to get iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Contact form not working :( Please Help...

Hey guys,
I am really in trouble with flash forms and need help please. Ive been trying to get a contact form working for a few weeks but have had no luck.
Below is the code I am putting in to the flash form and php file.
(this is the code I have put for the send Button)
on (release) {
         if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
               stop();
         } else {
         loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
         gotoAndStop(2);
(this is the code I have put for the clear Button)
on (release) {
    name = "";
    subject="";
    message="";
    email="";
(And this is the php file i created in dreamweaver and saved it as form.php)
$to = "[email protected]";
   $msg = "$name\n\n";
   $msg .= "$message\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>
I have uploaded the swf file and php file on the server but my form is still not working by sending the information to my email.
This is the link where i got the code from http://www.flashvault.net/tutorial.asp?ID=103
It would be really greatful if someone could help me please
I look forward to your opinions and ideas.
Thanks

you should really check a tutorial using loadvars.
and there's no hope for that php file.:
try:
$to = "youremailaddress @ yourserver.com"; // change this to your email address
$email=$_POST["email"];
   $msg = $_POST["name"]."\n\n";
   $msg .= $_POST["message"]."\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

Scrollbar positions not working

i got a tree like structure in jsp as
Root
--- Node1
---- ChildNode1
--- Node2
---- ChildNode1
---- ChildNode2
--- Node3
---- ChildNode1
--- ChildNode1.1
--- ChildNode1.2
---- ChildNode2
.......and so on
this is a dynamic tree . on click on each node the page is refreshed and the below child nodes are retrieved form the database.
its all are working fine but my bug is on chicking on the each node, the page goes to the top again and again i ve to scroll down to position of the node what i have to do to hold on the scroll bar position where it is for the previous page.
ive used ScrollTo() but its moving and again it goes to the top automatically wat to do

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already looked before and
after page 6, nothing has changed. I've been trying to create a new
scrollbar with the instructions from the help on the UIScrollBar
component, but the arrows on the scroll bar don't show up.
I have the text in the text box showing up and changing with
each page. But the scroll bars are not working. Here is the AS I
have on frame 1:
NarrativeText_bottom = narrative_text[_root.CurrentPgNumber];
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "my_sb");
my_sb.setScrollTarget(InstanceName_0);
my_sb.setSize(16,InstanceName_0._height);
my_sb.move(NarrativeText_bottom =
narrative_text[_root.CurrentPgNumber];
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "my_sb");
my_sb.setScrollTarget(InstanceName_0);
my_sb.setSize(16,InstanceName_0._height);
my_sb.move(InstanceName_0._x + InstanceName_0._width,
InstanceName_0._y);
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
InstanceName_0.text = src;
} else {
InstanceName_0.text = "Error loading text.";
._x + InstanceName_0._width, InstanceName_0._y);
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
InstanceName_0.text = src;
} else {
InstanceName_0.text = "Error loading text.";
When I drag the component to the side of the text box, the
instance name for the text field (InstanceName_0) automatically
populates the _targetInstanceName property of the component, like
it's supposed to. So why are the arrows on the scroll bar not
showing up?? PLEASE HELP! thanks.

Flash 9...Buttons not working

I created an app to simply send a few variables to a php
script from flash and it worked perfectly before I upgraded to
flash player 9. Now the buttons do not work!
here is a snippet of the button code:
my_btn.onPress = function(){
email = _root.my_ti.text;
if( modId == undefined or modId == "" ){
gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
//Send
ret = new LoadVars();
//ret.email = my_ti.text;
ret.modId = modId;
ret.btn_press = "vote";
ret.send("
http://www.2wtmag.com/model_vote_handler.php","_self",
"POST");
I am pretty sure that the code is solid, so I have to assume
that flash 9 is buggy. Has anyone had a similar experience?

www.2wtmag.com

If your Flash 9 movie is using AS3, you have to use
navigateToURL() instead of getURL().

SendAndLoad do not work

Hi everyone... i've seen this question posted elsewhere over
internet but never had an answer. Hope here someone can help me and
not only me.
I'm trying to develop a simple application using FlashPlayer
7 on my pocketPC.
I need to send and retrieve datas from a web server.
Obviously i'm using LoadVars for such task and i'm using
SendAndLoad method but, it seem not working on a GPRS connection.
I've tried everything to make it to work but unsuccesfully
I'm simply desperate!
I've seen that LOAD method work but when i try the SEND one
don't work. Seem like a connection error occured because the
web-page is not reached and a SUCCESS=false return on my ONLOAD
function.
I've tried the same application using my office connection
instead of a GPRS... i mean to connect my ppc via USB to my pc and
configuring the ppc for working on a network... and everything work
fine!
I've also tried using the XML functions of flash 7 but the
send operations still not working.
Why sendAndLoad do not work with a GPRS connection?
Please help me.
Thanks.
P.S. i need to use a POST operation because GET have a limit
on the size of the datas -_-

I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. You may want to try posting again in your native language.
Best of luck.

Why the server side behavior of LoadVars() not consistent?

In my server side script for FMS app,there is such code:
var lv = new LoadVars();
var params = new LoadVars();
lv.send("http://mysite.com/registerVideo.php", params, "POST");
The expected behavior is that the request will be as if sent directly from the browser,thus SESSION information is not lost ,which is the exact behavior for my computer.
But it's not the case for my boss --- session information is lost for him.
Why the server side behavior of LoadVars() not consistent?
What do I need to do to make sure session information is not lost @ server side ?

Oops,why this feature has always worked like charm for me only??

Are you testing on a server? If not, do you have PHP installed to support trying to call upon a PHP file?

I'M WITH STUPID! sendmail.cfm hack not working...

Hi, I'm a lonely, stupid, ignorant person whom is not interested in code or building a sendmail page. I can however, build a frameset in DreamWeaver and up load its page's and content onto the net using filezilla and a webhosting client, I can even build my own btn bar with a get URL content mainframe code...arrrggghh. But then stupid comes back and say's, "use a 2004 mx flash tutorial from the 2004 Flash MX bible, and insert its SWF file from a Flash FLA from chapter 30" and guess what...It doe's not work! ooohHa! And a little horn apears, as a saintly brow turn's into a not so saintly V shaped furrow. Please, can anyone help, stupid?
I need to know how to alter the sendmail code, to send email's to [email protected] from the contact page on the http://www.pizzapal.co.uk website.
function sendComments() {
var sender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var responder:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
responder.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
   _global.serverTime = this.timeDate;
   _root.gotoAndStop("output");
} else {
   _root.gotoAndStop("error");
sender.fromEmail = fromEmail_txt.text;
sender.fromName = fromName_txt.text;
sender.body = comments_txt.text;
sender.sendAndLoad("http://[email protected] ", responder, "POST");
_root.gotoAndStop("wait");
this._lockroot = true;
Right? Wrong? Plus, what file do upload onto my server to accomapy the SWF sendmail.cfm page.
Many thanks for reading and I hope it was entertaining because actors like me and Joey are important to.
The sendmail_cfm.swf is attached.

Please can anyone remove the report abuse icon because I cannot continue with this thread.
Sabby76
Thanks Ross
I accidentally deleted a content folder from the frameset and that meant due to low practical skills in Dreamweaver, I went ahead a deleted the whole site instend of renaming a secondary copy. I then built the frameset up again this evening after going for a walk to cool down, it was one way geetting to know Dreamweaver a little better. The time gave also an oppotunity to think about the sendmail problem and thing's were clearing on the return home, so I sat down a dragged in some new file's from the tutorial C.D and started again, with a copy paste from your email. Thank's once again, it was your advise that truned my attention to the sendmail.cfm, which incidentally, I had over looked on the first attempt's to get the contact's page running. It still doe's not return mail though, so I thought might like to have a look at the script from the sendmail.cfm file... {
I hope I carried out your advice correctly and notice also the server port, which I have changed from 23 to 21 and the the servers I.D also was scrubbed in favor to my hosting clients. I've sent then a question on this subject, regarding your question on weather or not their server run's cfm, I will inform of their answer and keep trying anyway.

Your code should look like this:
function sendComments() {
var sender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var responder:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var scriptURL:String = "http://www.pizzapal.co.uk/sendmail.cfm";
responder.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
   _global.serverTime = this.timeDate;
   _root.gotoAndStop("output");
} else {
   _root.gotoAndStop("error");
sender.fromEmail = fromEmail_txt.text;
sender.fromName = fromName_txt.text;
sender.body = comments_txt.text;
sender.sendAndLoad(scriptURL, responder, "POST");
_root.gotoAndStop("wait");
this._lockroot = true;
And then, open the sendmail.cfm page in Dreamweaver or another text editor, find the email address the script is sending to (I am assuming this is part of the tutorial in the book as well...) and change it to your mailto:[email protected]
Upload the SWF, and the CFM and it should work.... assuming your web host server runs coldfusion scripting.
