Re-build HTML Form in Flash?

Hi
Wonder if someone can help. Please excuse my incompetence, I am fairly new to Flash / Actionscript
Basically I am trying to re-build this simple HTML form in Flash, I have not shown the actual URL here, but this is a functioning form when the correct URL is in place:
<form action="http://www.customersURLhere/" method="post">
<input type="text" name="vrm"/>
<input type="submit" value="go"/>
<input type="hidden" name="update" value="false"/>
<input type="hidden" name="source" value="aexp"/>
<input type="hidden" name="supplier" value="AEMP" />
</form>
I have attempted to re-build this in flash. I have 1 text input field which I have set the variable name to 'vrm' to match the input field above. I then created a basic flash button and set the following action:
on (release) {update = "false";source = "aexp";
supplier = "AEMP";
getURL ("http://www.customersURLhere", "", "POST");
Can anyone spot any obvious errors???
Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I am still struggling to get this to work.
I have applied your script to the button, is that correct? (The button is on it's own layer and has one keyframe at the start or the movie.)
Do I need to label/name the button 'submitBtn' in some way?
You added a comment '//do whatever'... do I need to add something here?
Sorry, I'm a complete novice!!

HTML form over Flash bkd in Safari

Hi, I've got a site which uses an animated Flash background
element which is overlayed with a div containing an HTML form. It
works fine in every browser I have, except Safari. In Safari, as
soon as I click in the form, the entire HTML content of the page
disappears. The form and links will still function, but are
invisible.
Does anyone know about this problem? Is there a workaround,
or am I doing something wrong?
The page is
here.
Please note that the site is in a pretty early stage of
development, and not a lot of it works, but at least it
demonstrates the Safari problem.
Thanks!
Michael

i got someone to check on safari if their browser needed
updating for the flash plug-in but it didnt, still no luck with
this... I think I will try a few things and see what happens, any
other ideas though, I really can't explain why its doing
this?

Converting HTML form to Flash for Paypal!

Hello! Im currently in the process of converting my HTML website to Flash. On my website, i am using Paypal buttons (add to cart) so now i need to convert my 3 buttons/form to Flash. Here is my website: http://www.tubesjujubes.com/En/buyonline.html
I found this tutorial to help me: http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ash/Page1.html
but something is still wrong! Everytime i click on the button, it brings me to the log in page of Paypal instead of 'your cart' page. See HTML site for what i mean.
Ive only tried the tutorial on one button so far since i wanted it to work before i applied it to the others. This is the HTML code on my website for my first button:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="1699962" />
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Choose your membership" />Choose your membership:
<select name="os0">
<option value="1 kid + 1 parent">1 kid + 1 parent $99.00
</option><option value="2 kids + 2 parents">2 kids + 2 parents $178.00
</option></select>
<br /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="CAD" />
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="" />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" />
</form>
Now this is how i created my form/button in flash:
Every component and input box are on the same layer.
The actions are on a separate action layer.
I create a ComboBox for my choices with an instance name of 'os0'. I imported the button img, converted it to a button and called it 'submit'. For the action of the button, i used: on (release) {
getURL ("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", "POST");
Then i created 4 hidden input box, that i placed outside of the scene. I gave them a var title, using the 'name' from the HTML code and then added the values for each input box on the action layer like this:
cmd = "_s-xclick";
hosted_button_id = "1700073";
on0 = "Choose your membership";
currency_code = "CAD";
And its still wont work! And i have no clue what im doing wrong! PLEASE HELP!

I was able to figure out how to get my btn to redirect to my shopping cart. Basically, you just need to make sure everything is on the btn action layer. At first i have my hidden values on a action layer in the main page and the getURL my btn layer. Now my btn layer looks like this:
on (release) {
// Hidden Input fields for Form
cmd = "_s-xclick";
hosted_button_id = "1699962";
on0 = "Choose your membership";
currency_code = "CAD";
getURL ("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", target="paypal", "POST");
Now my problem is that the values of my combo box arent read and i have no idea how to code it. Can anyone help me with this? Should i code it in actionscript or can i just do it in property inspector box? I know what the problem is but i dont know how to fix it! My button is missing some coding since its not picking up the values of the combo box.
Anything could help! Thanks!

HTML Form-like behavior in Flash

Hello,
I'm looking to find a reference that can help me in the
creation of Flash user input screens that behave in a manner
analogous to an HTML form. Specifically I'm concerned with error
checking and data validation. For example, if a user is creating a
new record or editing an existing record and they choose to
navigate away from the page, the code should check for data
changes, and on finding any offer the user an option to save the
data. Once the offer is made and responded to the flow of the
application should proceed appropriately.
In an HTML form this type of behavior would be accomplished
with an appropriately worded JavaScript "confirm" dialog. This
dialog allows for a synchronous interaction between the user and
the flow of the JavaScript code in which user choice results in how
the code flow proceeds. With Flash, such a synchronous event is not
inherently possible (to the best of my admittedly limited
experience). Without this type of "confirm" dialog, one must create
a custom messaging system to communicate with the user, and must
also structure the code in such a way that everything is able to
achieve the desired effects in an asynchronous manner.
I've tried searching this forum but I don't know how to
phrase my search in order to find good results. If anyone has any
ideas, links to resources, links to threads, or any other items
that might help in my quest to build fully optimized and robust
user input forms in Flash CS3, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Dave

Why not just use a DataGrid component? They're pretty easy to
use actually.
Try this: start a new AS2 project and drag a DataGrid from
the components
panel onto the stage. Use the properties panel to size it to
500 x 300. When
you add data to a grid it will just show a scroll bar if
necessary, it
doesn't resize... Give it an instance name of "theGrid".
Now, add the following script to the frame:
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
function doGrid(gridRef, gArray:Array)
for (var i = 0; i < gArray.length; i++) {
var cat:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(gArray
[0]);
cat.width = gArray[2];
cat.headerText = gArray
[1];
cat.editable = false;
gridRef.addColumn(cat);
var gFormat = new Array(["fname", "First Name:", 120],
["lname", "Last
Name:", 200], ["date", "Win Date:", 80]);
doGrid(theGrid, gFormat);
If you compile now, you'll see the grid with the field
titles... I use the
doGrid function, and an array like this to make formatting
the grid easy.
The first item in the array matches the dataProvider
property, as you will
see in a moment - the second is the title, and the third the
width of the
column... change these as you need.
To add data, you just create an array of objects, with the
object properties
matching the first item in the format array - like so - add
the following
and test again:
var gridData = new Array({fname:"Dave", lname:"Mennenoh",
date:"09/14/08"},
{fname:"giga", lname:"saurus", date:"10/14/08"});
theGrid.dataProvider = gridData;
That's all there is to it... If you add more data than can be
shown, you'll
get a scroll bar. You can add en event listener to know when
someone selects
an item, etc...
good luck

FAQ: How do I build a simple email form in Flash Catalyst?

You can transfer projects into Flash Builder to add functionality like this. Be aware that with Flash Catalyst CS5 and Flash Builder 4, this is a one-way trip. Here is a tutorial by Tanya Heins that explains how:
Creating a simple form with Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder
See original discussion thread.

The best MP3 player I ever found for flash uses xspf
playlists and xml - really cool and easy to use/implement. Check it
at
http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
This player will go through a playlist you determine, or can jump
from track to track. It takes a little bit of testing to set up,
but is much simpler than writing your own player - and it's free.

Flash navigation and HTML forms

Wondering if any one can help. Whenever I use an html form on
an html page, my flash navigation will not show up. The area where
it should be is blank and my browser status bar says that there are
two items remaining (my flash navs). The browser stays like this
indefinately, not completely loading the page.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Elise

Thank you for reply. I appreciate it. So, if I understand
correctly:
I would embed the navbar.swf in all my html files. Then Each
button would go to each html pages (Like page1.htm page2.htm
etc...) Then I use your code in my html file right? Like each html
file will have the following code:
<param name="movie" value="nav.swf?frame=page2">
Is that how it works. Sorry for not being able to your
answer.
Thank you very much again

Modify flash movie from HTML form

so here is what I have:
I have a flash movie and as the flash movie plays there are
elements that say things like, "Your company name here" or "Your
title here", or "Your Product Picture here" etc.
From an HTML form (I can do all this part) I would want
someone to be able to specify their customized information and
SOMEHOW that would end up in the Flash movie. I would like to know
whether I need special software to create these. I ultimately need
have the final product be a .swf with the form-entered information
like Company Name, etc.
I don't know what I need in order to do this. I'm basically
info-gathering. Ask any questions if I am leaving anything out that
might help you help me identify what we need.
Thanks in advance.

no. none from me. i honestly dont have the first clue

Pete:
Remove the name attributes from all input elements defined by the pl/sql process. For example
<input name="company" type="Text" size="30"/> should be replaced by <input type="Text" size="30"/> or <input name="f01" type="Text" size="30"/>
The APEX accept process recognises a predefined set of HTML form input names. Any input with a name not from this set will cause the accept process to fail. f01 through f50 are valid names for the accept procedure.

JSP, Data tags, How to build a form edit with multiple records

Hi, I'm using Jdev 9i.
I would like to have a JSP form where I can update, delete, insert records displayed in the same page.
I know that I can use the data tag jbo:DataEdit to do it, but it only works with a single record, I want to have several records in the same page, displayed horizontally.
The best example is a form to add items in an invoice:
Productid description quantity price
1001 xxx 10 20.00
1002 yyy 15 30.00
1003 zzz 7 10.00
Could you give some help please?
Thanks in advance.

The form display is dictated by how you process the submit. I would build the form by using standard html tags. Here is another pseudo example:
<FORM ACTION="target.jsp" >
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
DeptNo
</TD>
<TD>
DName
</TD>
<TR>
<%
int nRow = 0;
%>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="ds">
<%
// increment the row number
nRow++;
String sDeptno = "Deptno" + nRow;
String sDname = "Dname" + nRow;
String sRowKey = "RowKey" + nRow;
%>
<jbo:Row id="myrow" action="current">
<TR>
<TD>
<input type="text" name="<%=sDeptno%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="Deptno" />' />
</TD>
<TD>
<input type="text" name="<%=sDname%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="Dname" />' />
<input type="text" name="<%=sRowKey%>" value='<jbo:ShowValue dataitem="RowKey" />' />
</TD>
<TR>
</jbo:Row>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
<input type="submit" />
</TABLE>
</FORM>
NOTE: This should get you started!!!

How to use an html form to search my database??

Hey guys,
I'm going through 100's of tutorials on creating a PHP CMS structure for my website and did manage to build a very simple 1. I have 1 question that i need your help with. I was browsing through websites on Google and discovered this website that you can search their data base with a an html form. How can I achieve this in the most simplest ways.
Site URL: http://www.istructe.org/yearbook/index.asp
Yours
Ashveer

The form's data is submitted to a php script. The script harvests the data and formulates a SQL select statement -
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE fieldname1 = fieldvalue1 AND fieldname2 = fieldvalue2....
(the form's fields are used to build the WHERE part of the statement)
After executing the search the script looks at the number of records found. If that is zero, there were no matches. If there is 1 or more records found, each is printed to the page. You would need some facility with a server scripting language to do this, although not too much. It's fairly simple.

How to build a form with a tree component

Sans,
I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

Is it possible to create a contact form via Flash cs5.5 and package out app for desktop?

I need to create a desktop app for windows. Im using Flash cs5.5 and I wanted to know of an easy to way to create a simple contact form that would work once installed on a desktop/
Thanks guys for any input!

If you want a contact form you can either use StageWebView or HTMLLoader to show an HTML page in your web server with a contact form.
Or you can create the form with Flash textfields and then send the whole thing with a POST request to a PHP script in the server, for example.
