Hi, I've got problem with my action script. It should load data from php but it doesn't and i have no idea why.

My PHP file produce in output:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

&min=img/photo.jpg&dsc=photo&pth=img/photo.jpg&typ=file&

And I create in flash movie with code like this

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

dsc = 0;
min = 0;
pth = 0;
typ = 0;
var myVars = new loadVars();
myVars.action = "get_box";
myVars.onLoad = load_1_done;
myVars.sendAndLoad("content.php", myVars, "POST");
function load_1_done(result)
{
    if(result)
    {
        dsc = myVars.dsc;
        min = myVars.min;
        pth = myVars.pth;
        typ = myVars.typ;
    }
    else
    {
        dsc = "error";
        min = "error";
        pth = "error";
        typ = "error";
    }
};
stop();

1. dsc = 0;
2. min = 0;
3. pth = 0;
4. typ = 0;
5. var myVars = new loadVars();
6. myVars.action = "get_box";
7. myVars.onLoad = load_1_done;
8. myVars.sendAndLoad("content.php", myVars, "POST");
9. function load_1_done(result)
10. {
11.     if(result)
12.     {
13.         dsc = myVars.dsc;
14.         min = myVars.min;
15.         pth = myVars.pth;
16.         typ = myVars.typ;
17.     }
18.     else
19.     {
20.         dsc = "error";
21.         min = "error";
22.         pth = "error";
23.         typ = "error";
24.     }
25. };
26. stop();

my variables dcs, min, pth and typ are displayed on screen all the time to check them out.

When i execute it i have zeros and then noting. When i run it in debug mode the variables are zeros and then loaded stuff shows up. I test it with full server path to content.php and no changes.

Read tons of manuals and forum posts about this but still have no idea whats wrong.

Maybe that happens because it is placed in MC, problay if i put it onto top level movie it should work... but why it dont want to work in MC ?

Personally I use two loadVars() objects for sendAndLoad(), one for sending variables and one for reply variables. This is the first time i've seen anyone try to reuse the same object.

At first glance one reason your actions don't work could be that there is no place stated in myVars for the reply data.

try this,

Quote:

/* textbox variables */
dsc = 0;
min = 0;
pth = 0;
typ = 0;

/* object to store variables being sent */
myVars = new loadVars();
myVars.action = "get_box";
myVars.onLoad = load_1_done;

/* object to store variables being returned to flash */
returnVars = new LoadVars();
returnVars.dsc = "";
returnVars.min = "";
returnVars.pth = "";
returnVars.typ = "";

/* function to handle return of variables */
function load_1_done(result)
{
if(result)
{
dsc = returnVars.dsc;
min = returnVars.min;
pth = returnVars.pth;
typ = returnVars.typ;
}
else
{
dsc = "error";
min = "error";
pth = "error";
typ = "error";
}
};

/* sendAndLoad */
myVars.sendAndLoad("content.php", returnVars, "POST");

Okey I checked it out.

It work when i changed in your code:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

myVars.onLoad = load_1_done;

to:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

returnVars.onLoad = load_1_done;

But there is still problem of other kind:
I have main movie that loads subsite movie with

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

unloadMovie("_root.dropsite");
loadMovie(what, "_root.dropsite");

1. unloadMovie("_root.dropsite");
2. loadMovie(what, "_root.dropsite");

The movie loads fine, after preloader movie starts to do its action
and then it try to use sendAndLoad in the same way how we done it and it works. Now it doesn't work. data is posted, no error returned, recieved vars are always zeros.

Can I use variable loading from php in movies that are loaded by another movies ?

As for the new problem, try wrapping the sendAndLoad() inside a function that gets called only after the movie has loaded completely.

I know, it is loaded completely. So what's the point ?!

ok, lets try it this way.

Can you post a link to your fla ? (assuming it's MX & NOT 2004)

June 5th, 2004, 1:57 am

ok,

so here is the website i work on:
http://hires.net-kom.com.pl

and here you can download all site content:
http://hires.net-kom.com.pl/for_u/ready_site.zip

and the fla sources:
http://hires.net-kom.com.pl/for_u/fla_source.zip

you have such files:
- index.php - site index
- content.php - work with variables from/to movies
- swf <dir> - all swfs there
- img <dir> - all images there

ok, site is for one artist and it starts from site.swf
the menu shows up and then you can chose:
- info (info.swf) - some info loaded from php - works fine
- anim (anim.swf) - check above at *)
- photo (photo.swf) - same as anim but works on other path
- still (still.swf) - same as anim but works on other path
- mail (mail.sqf) - finished - just e-mail address

*) anim is most complicated of all that stuff. It should work as a browser for graphics that somebody will put in from administration panel. It works like this:
1) preload itself
2) show up background
3) set vars
4) send/upload data how many sites will be avilable
and show arrows for browsing
4b) there are 21 small boxes and each one sends (curent dir, type of work, site number, etc...) and loads from php data based on it, those can be folders or works, loads texts, urls and small photos.

anim works just fine when you load only this movie by (check at):
http://hires.net-kom.com.pl/test.php

but when it is loaded by site.swf it doesn't work.

You should use xml for this.

June 25th, 2009, 6:24 am

Yepp, if anyone have this problem....
When the php script is not on same domain, you should use crossdomain.xml on that site.

Example for that xml:

<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>


I have the same problem, and i am working on this solution. I will reply here if this works.

Yes, thats the solution
