Hi guys i nabed this bit of code from that awsome code builder called js generator
I believe this code goes in the flash button....

Code: [Select]

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php?customName=bob&customLink=whooo har&customMessage=elllo','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
}how do i build a php file so it displays on screen 
customername = bob
customerlink =whoo
customermessage= ello

thanks

Try:

echo "customername = ".$_GET['customName']."<br>customerlink:".$_GET['customLink']."<br>customermessage=".$_GET['customMessage'];

Fantastic! it works!
thanks for that m8.
another question in stead of typing the text that you want the php to display into the flash buttons action script is it possible to replace it with a variable?
for example.....

instead of......
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php?customName=the text i want it to display ect ect ect

could i some how have...
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php?customName=a name of a variable in my flash
?
basically i want it to display a record that flash has already pulled in for a sql database.

thanks

Use inside Flash:

("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php?customName="+yourVar+"', 'newWin', .....

GET have a max size of 255 characters in total, so you can't pass much text trough it, should use POST instead and the $_POST array in PHP

I am now trying to get it to send  an image variable so that it displays in the php but it doesnt seem to work.
i have tryed this way...
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://bob.php?
customName="+heading1+"&customLink="+projectFile1+"

ProjectFile1 being the name of the variable for the image
This way just displays the name of the image. for example....   customerlink=aidanmack.jpg

so i tryed this...

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://bob.php?customLink="+projectFile1+"','pic','height="+projectHeight1+",width="+projectWidth1+"

That doesnt seem to work either

any ideas? thanks

Check that the opened window have the rigth parameters (look the URL), if not, check that Flash is sending it (trace it prior sending)

Jorge

[aidanmack]

your correct jorge, i forgot i need to tell it where to look for the image.

how do i incorporate that in to my code?

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.aidanmack.co.uk/bob.php?customName="+heading1+"&customLink="+about1+"&customMessage="+projectFile1+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
}


I have been using some similar code that pulls an image variable in to just a htm file which looks like this...

display1_btn.onRelease = function() {
   getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.aidanmack.co.uk/finishedfiles/"+projectFile1+"','pic','height="+projectHeight1+",width="+projectWidth1+",toolbar=no') ");
};


i have been useing bits of this code to incorprate into my new php code but it wont work. any ideas?

[Jorge Solis]

Your filename should include the path:

customerlink=somefolder/aidanmack.jpg

Or the full URL

Jorge

Hi jorge,
why do the php variables have to have a & before each one?
for example
&customLink="+about1+"

what with the &?

thanks
  aidan

[Jorge Solis]

Is a convention to separate variables, not only for Flash, but in URL parameters (see any URL with GET parameters, you will see & as separator)

[aidanmack]
