Flash form to PHP for processing (nothing returned to Flash)
Problem
I am trying to create a login page using Flash CS4 & AS 3. The problem I am facing is that I cannot POST the information to a separate PHP page. What I am trying to do is use the Flash page as the log in and POST the data to a separate PHP page for processing. I am not looking to have data returned to the Flash page...rather, when the user clicks the Submit button I want them to be redirected to the PHP page that has its own authentication. Here's my old code... AS 2.0 code onClipEvent (load) { _root.btnSubmit.addEventListener("click", btnSubmit_clicked); function btnSubmit_clicked() { c = new LoadVars(); c.theName = _root.txtUrName.text; c.send("check_answers.php", "_self", "POST"); } // END OF FUNCTION } AS 3.0 code (so far) btnSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnSubmit_clicked); function btnSubmit_clicked(event:MouseEvent):void { txtStatus.text = "You are being logged on..."; } Please help!
Solution
Use URLRequest and URLVariables.
Detailed explanation
This can be accomplished using URLRequest and URLVariables. Try the following function:
function submitForm(e:MouseEvent):void{
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("yourProcPage.php");
var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.data = urlVariables;
urlVariables.userName = userNameInput.text;
urlVariables.password = passwordInput.text;
navigateToURL(urlRequest, "_self");
}
