So, using PHP with Flash...

Hi everyone, appologies in advance if this isn't the correct
forum.
I'm trying to find a way to pass dynamically generated text
for a hyperlink to a SWF that's embedded in my PHP page. I have the
PHP system working as I want it with HTML links but want to add
some animation to a the part of the page with the links in. I'm
having trouble finding a way to pass the info to the SWF - would
the only way be to have the PHP write out to a txt/xml file and
have the SWF read it in?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Look the gotoandlearn.com for a tutorial that might agree
with what you are attempting.

Using PHP with Flash (contact form)

I am trying to get a contact form on a flash site to work and
for some reason the PHP isn't forwarding the message to my email.
Below is the flash code I have used as well as the document I have
saved as contact.php. Thank you so much for the help. This is the
last thing I need to complete for the site and I just can't seem to
get it right. Thanks.
Flash Code For the Submit Button:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
if (this._currentframe>1) {
this.prevFrame();
on (release) {
this._parent.getURL ("contact.php","_blank","GET");
this._parent.name = "Your Name:";
this._parent.email = "Your Email:";
this._parent.phone = "Your Phone Number:";
this._parent.text4 = "e-mail:";
this._parent.message = "Your Message:";
Here is what I have for Contact.php:
<?php
$your_name = $_GET['name'];
$your_email = $_GET['email'];
$your_phone = $_GET['phone'];
$your_message = $_GET['message'];
$recipient_email = "[email protected]";
$subject = "from " . $your_email;
$headers = "From: " . $your_name . "<" . $your_email .
">\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$content = "<html><head><title>Contact
letter</title></head><body><br>";
$content .= "Name: <b>" . $your_name .
"</b><br>";
$content .= "E-mail: <b>" . $your_email .
"</b><br><hr><br>";
$content .= "Phone: <b>" . $your_phone .
"</b><br>";
$content .= $your_message;
$content .= "<br></body></html>";
mail($recipient,$subject,$content,$headers);
?>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#282E2C">
<div align="center"
style="margin-top:60px;color:#FFFFFF;font-size:11px;font-family:Tahoma;font-weight:bold">
Your message was sent. Thank you.
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>resizeTo(300, 300)</script>

well...that's true..I wanted "name" to be cleared when
clicked...this version I found doesn't clear "name" when clicked,
but it needs selected and erased manually...anyway..it's better
then nothing...
Reason I want this is because I'm using a design that is not
giving me much space and I have to trick the low space with this
option.
If you want I can send you the fla to get a better
picture...I believe you deserve it :)

Using databases with Flash and PHP

Hi, everyone!
I`m a PHP newbie. I just learned PHP so that I can use
databases with Flash.
I`ve got a .php script that contains html that loads up my
.swf file. The .swf file is the core of my site. What I want to
know is if I can call some PHP functions (that I have wrote in the
.php script) from within the .swf file... This functions would
perform the reading and updating of my database.
The only way I know of to modify a database from Flash is
using the POST and GET methods. But that opens up a new browser
window in which the PHP script is called. And that only handles
writing in the database. So, what if I just want to read from the
database some values and insert them into a TextField in Flash? How
do I do that?
Thanks! Ardy

1. Goggle "Flash and mySQL" and you'll get a listing of alot
tutorials
2. I'm also just learning. Here's a great URL to start:
Building with Flash and MySQL
That's right, a Flash-based blog — it sounds a little

Possible to use PHP with servlets?

Hello all,
This may be a weird question, but here goes. I have a java web app that uses Servlets with a JBoss appserve and Interbase db. I am interested in using a php library in my application, is it possible to write php code within my java code to be deployed in my app? Does that even make sense? (I must admit, i have no knowledge of PHP)
Does anyone have any experience with something of this nature?
Thanks,
-Kevin

No, it doesn't really make sense.
You can have a PHP application and a Java application installed on the same server and have them interact, but that's probably a lot more hassle than it's worth.

Can we use Alchemy with Flash Lite?

Alchemy can be used with Flash Lite or is it useful only for flash 8?

Alchemy requires Flash 10 and AS3, neither of which are currently supported by Flash Lite.

Using PHP with Dreamweaver and Contribute

I work for a small to medium government agency and we are re-vamping our website. Money and staff are very minimal here, so any hope of one or two full-time people managing the entire website, or of purchasing a content management system, are totally out of the question.
My question is: for a group of people that are capable of using either Adobe Contribute or Dreamweaver in Design View only, are there any disadvantages or problems with using PHP?
Here's more detail: In our situation, we really don't have the choice of editing straight HTML code, since many of our users would not be capable of doing so. If we could afford a full-time web person, that would be an option, but that's not possible at this point. Some of our users are going to be limited to using Adobe Contribute as well, which is a simpler option for some of the less-experienced users. Nonetheless we want our site to have a professional and consistent look, so a technology like PHP would allow us to repeat content across many websites. By the way, that's all we'd be using PHP for as far as I know; just to enable me to edit a single page and thus change the navigation content across the whole site.
Does anyone know of a reason why we couldn't build the site using very simple, limited PHP and allow people to edit it using Dreamweaver design view and Adobe Contribute?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions that you can provide!
P.S. We have also considered Dreamweaver templates, and so far that isn't working, due to the multi-login setup that we have.
P.S.S. Although I do decently in HTML and CSS and a teeny bit of JS, I know nearly nothing about PHP, other than this: <?php include("header.php"); ?>

You can use that extension if you like. You need to make sure that your page that has the SSI have an extension that will process the scripts as mentioned above.
.shtml, .php
I always name my SSI so I know that they are includes.
header.inc.html
header.inc.php
header.inc.txt as examples.
If you are using PHP, then it should process the includes.
A good simple test is to add a SSI to a page.
Do something simple like.
<p>Welcome to our website</p>
Name it welcome.inc.php
Then include it in a page, upload it to the webserver and visit the page.
I am using contribute for people to update areas of our website (hate it) and I manage the overall website myself.

Communication PHP with Flash

Hi,
Is it possible :
- from PHP page to pass parameters to Flash (SWF) file ?
- from Flash (SWF) file to retrieve parameter to PHP page ?
i'm asking that because i would like to do the following
things :
- in my PHP page, user will select interface language and
automatically
the flash should turn all text strings (located inside the
flash) into
selected language.
- Flash animation should be able to retrieve variable value
from
PHP/HTML in order to use them like : read/save from/to
database postgresql.
thanks a lot,
A.

Hi Alain,
It most certainly is. This ability has been around for quite
a while and
Flash/PHP work well together. I happen to specialize in
Flash/PHP/MySQL
integration (though I'm faimiliar with PostGRE as well). It's
not complex or
difficult but a bit lengthy for the forum. Drop me a line and
I can give
you more concrete exampled: patrick (AT) baynewmedia (DOT)

Using php with oracle http server

Hello folks
This question might have been answered on this forum, but i haven't found it yet.
Is it possible to integrate php into the apache server that is supplied with the oracle (9.2) database, the so called Oracle HTTP Server?
What technical issues are to consider and how do you do it on linux in that case? (SLES8)
Is there any support issues to consider if somebody modifies this oracle supplied http server?
Looking very much forward to some help...
Regards,
Christian

Using FABridge with Flash SWF

Hello Folks,
FABridge exposes all Flex functionality to JavaScript in a
beautiful way. However I have a Flash project that spits out an FLA
and a SWF file. I want to use FABridge to manipulate this SWF and
Flash through JavaScript. Can FABridge be used for this purpose? If
so how? In Flex, inserting a simple line of code <fab:FABridge
xmlns:fab="bridge.*"/> exposes all functionality to JS. But this
is done in the XML part of the mxml file. Flash has all
ActionScript code and I am not sure how to use or initialize the
FABridge from with the ActionScript code in Flash.
Would appreciate any thoughts or pointers on how to go about
using JavaScript to access and manipulate Flash through SWF files
created through Flash project. I would think that if I can
manipulate the SWF file from Flex why can't I do it thorugh the one
created through Flash. But sounds like I am missing something very
basic here.
TIA,
Sanjay.

You cannot do that. Your client will need to scan the image, and then you can allow them to upload the images... but you can't scan from inside Flash.

Using Vcam with Flash CS3

I installed the adobe vcam extension in my Flash CS3 (Mac)
and it all works
ok except that the vcam frame comes in with a crosshairs
located on the
upper left hand corner of the frame and no matter what I do I
cant get it to
set the crosshairs on the center of the frame.
When I go to use it and test the movie, the vcam action keeps
giving me a
lot of extra white space to the top and left of the screen
rather than show
me the actual frame area that I want to see and zoom into.
Can anyone please tell me how the crosshairs of the vcam
frame can be set to
the center of the frame so that what I really want to frame
and zoom on
actually shows up in the rendered movie? Or is there another
way to make the
vcam frame include the areas that I want instead of giving me
all the
unweanted extra white space?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Trying to use Flexbook with Flash Player 10

I'm trying to use the Flexbook from Ely Greenfield, www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/flexbook/, with Flex 3 and Flashplayer 10.
I'm having problems with multiple lines in Flexbook.as but they all have to do with creating a new Vector, like the example below:
var delta:Vector;
delta =new Vector(new Point(x,_pointOfOriginalGrab.y),new Point(x+10,_pointOfOriginalGrab.y+1));
If I use the compiler option 'Enable Strict Type Checking' I get the error:
1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0. FlexBook.as PageFlip2/[source path] src/qs/controls line 1215 Flex Problem
If I don't use the 'Enable Strict Type Checking' option when the application runs I get this error:
Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
Can anyone tell me what these errors are trying to tell me?
Thanks,
Bob

I guess that was the issue. I renamed Ely's Vector class and now it work fine.
Thanks.
