PHP and Flash

Hi,
I need to display a Username in a Flash Banner in my website. The Site is PHP and the header is made in Flash. My requirement is that, when a user Logs in, his name should be displayed in the Top of the site (in the Flash banner here) like "Welcome User". Is it possible ? I have the PHP file which displays username. All I need is that to merge it to the flash banner (through actionscript, isnt it ?)
Please help me
Thanks

Need help with php and flash

Hi,
hopefully anyone can help me out here I am working on a site
that has part flash and html in it. I am using php to dynamically
pull in the flash files from an includes folder. In doing so I have
uploaded everything to our preview server where I tested the site.
It works in firefox but not in the ie browsers, I thought this had
to do with active control, so I downloaded the extension but
nothing happened, still it works in firefox and not ie either 6 or
7. t
click
here to view the site I am working on. If you have suggestions
please let me know. I have attached the code as well for one of the
flash animations.
Thanks

Looking at the source of your page, I note that you missed a
couple lines in the AC_FL_RunActiveContent embed. These 2 lines go
in the head of the page.
<script language="javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent = 0;
</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"
language="javascript"></script>

XML, PHP and Flash forms

After searching several tutorials and forum posts, I still am
puzzled at how to get started on this.
I want to enable my client to upload changes to the XML file
used on his site without knowing anything about XML. He also wants
to upload images which are referenced in the XML. So, I am assuming
that I create a form that allows him to type in changes to sections
and select an image on his local drive and submit it to a PHP
script on the server which will, in turn generate/update the XML
and upload the image(s).
Is this correct or am I going about it the wrong way? Of
course, I should just tell him he'll have to pay me to update the
site. ;-) I'm really confused about how to start this whole thing
in the planning stage. I just need a little direction then I can
research the rest.
thanks!

I would
steer clear of that as it will be harder to debug - doing it
in HTML
will be much more straightforward, and if you do it right you
can change
to using a flash front end in future.
Handling file uploads in PHP is a little tricky but there are
loads of
good pages of advice on using PHP on the web. Here's a good
place to
start as there's lots of notes by other users:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.is-uploaded-file.php
XML with PHP I have only done once - and I think that was
just reading
it and not writing it. Should be OK though, again, lots of
help
available online!

Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and ANT

I just installed Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP Premium and I am trying to install ANT so I can automate the AsDoc generation process.
In the past (Flash Builder 4), I just point to "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/" and select "Eclipse Java Development Tools".
However, when I do the same in " Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP Premium", I got an error message saying that a newer version of "Eclipse Java Development Tools" has already been installed. I go to the "Already Installed Software" tab, and indeed I see "Eclipse Java Development Tools" under "Eclipse Java IDE", but ANT is nowhere to be found.
By the way, I am doing everything on the stock, standalone Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP Premium.
Any suggestion is much appreciated.

I also have Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and the ANT view does not show when going to Window -> Show View --> Other. I could not find it in any of the folders.
However, I was able to add it by hitting Command 3 (CTRL 3 on PC) and typing Ant.

Passing variables from php to flash and the opposite

Hi guys, im trying weeks now to solve this problem but nothing yet
If someone could just tell me how to pass variables from flash to php and the opposite i would be thankful!!! Please help!

I have recently had to learn this, so this may not be the best way but it worked for me
I suggest looking at the code below stripping out everything you don't need (e.g. the databse stuff) and just get a simple string going back and forward
have a go and post any problems here and I'll try and help
in flash i have
private function getBalanceAndXP():void
          var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("utils.php");
          request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
          var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
          variables.func = "getBalance";
          variables.fbid = userID;
          request.data = variables;
          var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
          loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
          loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onBalanceComplete);
          loader.load(request);
private function onBalanceComplete(e:Event):void
          var loader:URLLoader = e.target as URLLoader;
          loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onBalanceComplete);
          var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader.data);
          _balance = parseInt(variables.balance); // class variable
          _experience = parseInt(variables.experience); // class variable
public function setBalanceAndXP(balance:int, experience:int):void
            _balance = balance;
          _experience = experience;
          var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("utils.php");
          request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
          var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
          variables.func = "setBalance";
          variables.fbid = userID;
          variables.balance = _balance;
          variables.experience = _experience;
          request.data = variables;
          var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
          loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
          loader.load(request);
and then I have my php file
<?php
$func = $_POST["func"];
$fbid = $_POST["fbid"];
$balance = $_POST["balance"];
$experience = $_POST["experience"];
$numVariables = 0;
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("databaseName");
if ($func == "getBalance")
          getBalance($fbid);
else if ($func == "setBalance")
          setBalance($fbid, $balance, $experience);
mysql_close($link);
function getBalance($fbid)
          $query = "SELECT balance, experience FROM tableName WHERE fbid = '".$fbid."'";
          $result = mysql_query($query);
          $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
          writeVariable("balance", $row[0]);
          writeVariable("experience", $row[1]);
function setBalance($fbid, $balance, $experience)
          $query = "UPDATE tableName SET balance = ".$balance.", experience = ".$experience." WHERE fbid ='".$fbid."'";
          mysql_query($query);
function writeVariable( $name, $value )
          global $numVariables;
          if ( $numVariables > 0 )
                    echo "&";
          echo $name . "=" . urlencode($value);
          $numVariables++;
?>

PHP files and Flash contact form

Hello,
I am creating a website in flash CS4 and I made a contact form and when I test the site out, I can type and click the submit button, so everything is fine there but it doesn't go to anything. Now I know I need a code to tell the contact form where to go, but I can't find one that works, or I may be doing something wrong. I also have been reading about PHP but I am not sure what that is. I found a site that said to put this code in the actions panel.
on(release){
getURL("http://www.mail.menaceaudio.com", "", "POST");
The www.mail.menaceaudio.com is the site for the companies email.
So when I test it out this error comes up:
1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

The code you show is AS2, not AS3. Try searching for 'as3 form php' and you should find plenty of info.
PHP is a server-side scripting language. You put PHP files on your server and can then call them from Flash...

Safari and Flash

Safari and Flash does not work correctly. I always have problems accessing flash sites, like this:
http://globosat.globo.com/telecine/servicos/programacao.asp
There is a blank rectangle below the flash menu, I can't see the content correctly.
I think Apple must work with Macromedia to give us a better internet experience...

Hi xPixel,
You can't click anything on menu (there is a flash animation floating around the window)
image: http://img44.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imagem20ox.jpg
URL: http://www.claro.com.br/portal/site/siteTA/ (please select "Rio de Janeiro")
This also doesn't work with Firefox, Camino or Opera. That page also has a whopping 367 errors according to the web standards validation page (validator.w3.org).
You see a blank rectangle above the menu and can't click it
image: http://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imagem15yo.jpg
URL: http://globosat.globo.com/telecine/servicos/programacao.asp
The same for this site - neither Firefox, Camino or Opera will display anything in the blank area.
Can't click the menu on this site
image: http://img44.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imagem37sy.jpg
URL: http://www.premierpet.com.br/
And exactly the same for this. So, I'd say there isn't a serious problem with Safari and Flash, since they all fail in 3 other browsers as well.
Apple can only do so much with sloppily coded websites. If these sites want your business the onus should be on them to make them work correctly with as many browsers as possible. This is the real solution.

HTML and Flash

i have been searching for help on this issue and cant seem to find an answer. i am sure the issue is my lack of understanding.
Basically, i have a flash (CS3) program (lobby.fla) that contains a button to load another flash file (join.swf). i published the
lobby.fla program and created the lobby.html program and the AC_RunActiveContent.js. All program files are in the same directory.
if i run lobby.fla from Flash CS3 all works as i would expect. when i click on the join button, the join.swf is loaded.
if i run the lobby.html program from Dreamweaver, the join button does nothing (not even a trace statement is excuted).
Eventually I would like to pass parameters from the lobby program to the join program but i cant get the button to work.
if i just load the htl program in the browser this works. but when i run the lobby.html program from within dreamweaver the botton does
nothing. what am i missing in the dreamweaver side of this?
my environment is Windows XP Home, php-mysql, Dreamweaver and Flash CS3.
thanks for any help
teremoto

at this stage i would take a guess. i am at a loss.
from my understanding i have published the lobby.fla and i have gotten a lobby.swf, lobby.html and an AC_RunActiveContent.js files.
i have looked at the lobby.html and it seems to match with what i can find on the web searching forums for help and examples.
so i dont think it is that but it may be i need to add something but i am not sure. the AC_RunActiveContent.js file seems to be rather generic and
it does not look like something i should or would modify.
why would this work fine if i run this program outside of dreamweaver?
i thought it would be best to use html-ajax-php-mysql to handle logins and then let flash be the main program that the user will use.
maybe i am wrong in my design thinking. What i am trying to accomplish is to have a page presented (with links to join specific rooms).
the rooms will be a flash program (there is no required interaction between users who join the room...but i will need to pass a few pieces of
data back to the main calling program where i will need to update my database).
should my design be more where all links/buttons needed to move the user to the flash programs i want them to interact with be done outside
of flash? i was hoping to use flash to just pass the required parameters back to the lobby.html program and then process that data (update
my databases) . it just seemed easier to have a main driver program (my lobby flash program) to handle all the work as opposed to a whole bunch
of html pages.
i appreciate your opinion on this....i feel i maybe moving in the wrong direction in my development.
thanks
teremoto

PHP and Actionsripting...

Hey fellow Flash friends... I have a flash banner that I have
sitting on my gaming clans website I did. The forums are PHP and
when ever anyones views a new topic or post of does anything to
refresh the browser it reloads the movie and plays again. I'd like
the movie to just play once when you first get there and not
everytime someone post something. Is there a actionscript of some
way around this? I've searched everywhere and have come to a wall.
LOL Any help will be appreciated thanks!
http://www.shadowops.org/Forums/index.php

There is an even easier way to do this without using cookies.
Use Session IDs. PHP should be able to keep the session OR keep an
active variable from one page to another. Use the variable to
control the flash video.
I am presuming that you will want the movie to continue
playing in the same exact place as they left.
I don't know about AS2 or 3 if it can handle this however,
here is how you would accomplish it.
IF AS3 can accomplish this than here is what you can do.
1. When the movie is playing, IF AS3 can detect when the
movie stops have it send out the frame number and the mc name to
PHP.
Store that in PHP variables.
Transfer those variables via POST and GET methods to the
reloading page.
Check to see if those variables are active. Send those
variables back to the flash movie on the refreshed page using flash
vars and tell the ActionScript to start the same exact movie and
the same exact frame.
That is the only way that I can think of doing that.

PHP and Actionscript 3

I want to dynamically change the tintColor of a movie clip,
named toolboxMC_bg based on the value of a php variable $style set
in s3.php. I'm using actionscript 3. Please help. I just don't know
how to get flash to get the value of $style. I have attached the
code I have so far. Thanks.

I feel that the problem lies with the actionscript not
receiving the php variable. I have changed the php to read the
cookie value. Please help! I get no errors in the browser and I get
undefined in the output window. However I do expect to get
undefined because I don't expect that flash could read the cookie.
That part actually makes sense. I know that the color change area
of the code works because if I change the default value I see a
change in color. Flash just cannot read my variable for some
reason. When you view the php page in the browser it successfully
reads the cookie and shows (in this case the cookie is red)
flashstyle=red. I have attached the php and actionscript.
Thanks.

Firefox 64 bit and flash 32 bit chroot

Since two days im trying to get 32 bit flash plugin to work with firefox 64 bit using chroot enviroment. I followed those instructions on archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64 but theres only solution for both firefox and flash 32 bit.
Any ideas how to do this?

- Go to Flash10 x86_64.
- Download file at bottom.
- Decompress it.
- Copy ".so" file over ~/.mozilla/plugins folder.
- Restart firefox...
I suggest evryone just avoid mixing 64bits and 32bits... unless impossible (ie. wine64 doesn't run win32 apps, just win64 ones)
EDIT: Oh, about your "real" question: maybe you were looking for "ndispluginwrapper" (or something alike)
EDIT2: I forgot to mention you should read some literacy about "what is a chroot and what is its purpouse"....

ANN: Deep discount on some DW 8 and Flash 8 books

Amazon.com is offering some amazing discounts on several
Dreamweaver 8
and Flash 8 books, including my "Foundation PHP for
Dreamweaver 8",
which is currently just $8.00 (80% discount). Other heavily
discounted
books are:
"Foundation Web Design with Dreamweaver 8" - $10.23 (71%
discount)
"Foundation ActionScript for Flash 8" - $13.16 (71% discount)
"Foundation Flash 8" - $10.83 (71% discount)
"Foundation Flash 8 Video" - $9.00 (80% discount)
I contacted friends of ED to find out why two of my books (I
co-authored
the ActionScript one) were being so heavily discounted, as an
80%
discount usually indicates the book has been remaindered by
the
publisher. The answer is that this appears to be an Amazon
promotion, as
the books in question have not been remaindered. I have no
idea how long
these bargain prices will last, but if you were planning to
buy a DW 8
or Flash 8 book, this might be a good opportunity.

would Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8 still be relevant for

SWF's and Flash Lite

Hi there,
I have a question in regards to development......The swf's
that are produced, do they have to be run in the browser
environment of the mobile or can they be run just stand-alone...In
other words, the user uploads the swf into their mobile handset,
and just runs it, not in the browser environment, like an .exe
file? Also, it would be very nice if Adobe in the near future,
could somehow install all those nice effects from Adobe After
Effects to work with Flash, that would be something.......Take care
and God Bless...

Hi there Punchkickinteractive,
Thanks for the quick response, I have Flash MX, and it's
been a while since I haven't updated, but when I saw Adove Device
Central and that's included in Flash CS3, then things began to look
brighter for flash. I can still upgrade, right? since I have Flash
MX, $200.00 for the upgrade?
So then the user doesn't have to be in the net(mobile) in
order to view the swf, right? Cause, we all know that folks have to
pay to have access to the internet via their mobile....This is far
better than making a .mobi site, if you ask me...Although,
currently I'm doing one with php and mysql more like a
directory....And Flash offers me the opportunity to do it without
the user having to have access to the internet.........
Yes, you have a good point in regards to AE, I did downloaded
AE a while back, and was completely turned off in regards to the
interface, it's so barbaric, if you ask me. I mean the interface of
Flash is so easy to understand, the timeline, ect......but with AE,
my God............:) Though, it has some awesome effects, but the
price isn't awesome though.....:)
Well, I thank you for the quick response and God Bless
You.....:)

I was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its not on

hey please help!
i was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its made no differnce its been like 3 hours ive tried to do that reset thing holding lock button and home button for 10 seconds at the same time. WHAT DO I DO?

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
