Question

flash as2 sendAndLoad works only once

Asked by: mankis

I'm trying to create registration form in flash as2 + php. But sendAndLoad function works only once! I have even tried to delete myVars after loading data but it's the same.
If user first time opens registration form and enters unused username it's ok, data is sent. But if he enters a username that is in use, php script sends error as checklog=2, and when he changes username in the one unused and clicks send button once more  there is still checklog 2 error and the data is not stored in database. So it seams that it doesn't work in both ways, send, and load. Here is my script, please help.

function senddata(){	
		myVars.adduser = 1;
		myVars.status = "user";
		myVars.username = _root.body.stranice.regform.username.text;
		myVars.password = _root.body.stranice.regform.password.text;
		myVars.name = _root.body.stranice.regform.name.text;
		myVars.email = _root.body.stranice.regform.email.text;
myVars.sendAndLoad("userprocess.php?ck=" + new Date().getTime(), myVars,"POST");
 
		myVars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
			if (success) {
 
				if (this.checklog == 1) {
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndStop(3); 
				}
				if (this.checklog == 2) {
					
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndPlay(2);
				}
				if (this.checklog == 3) {
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndPlay(2);
				}
				 
			}
			
 
		};
		
	
}
 
 
//for the send button
on (press) {
	senddata();
}

When you say it only works initially, are you saying that the server never get hit again second time???

At any rate, you probably have a line that looks like this...

var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

Move that line to the line 2 of the above sample, and see if it does the job for you...

Hm, it seams that I was wrong. Don't know what is happening. Just now I have entered unused username and the data was stored in database. But _root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndStop(3); didn't run so I have pressed send button once again and then there was an error (checklog = 2)  saying that username exists. So it means that the server get hit again. But when I changed username again into one unused it stil gives me the same error, like he remembered it and won't refresh, but delete myVars won't work.

I have changed a function. Maybe I can explain better now what is happening.

In php I have something like this:
$retval = $session->register($_POST['username'], $_POST['password'], $_POST['email'], ... etc
 if($retval == 0){
         $_SESSION['regsuccess'] = true;
         print "situation=You are registrated&checklog=1";
      }
      /* Error found with form */
      else if($retval == 1){
         $_SESSION['value_array'] = $_POST;
         $_SESSION['error_array'] = $form->getErrorArray();
             $usernameerror=$form->error("username");
             $emailerror=$form->error("email");
             $passworderror=$form->error("password");
             
             print "situation=Registration failed. ".$usernameerror." ". $emailerror." ". $passworderror.".&checklog=2";
             
      }
      /* Registration attempt failed */
      else if($retval == 2){
         $_SESSION['regsuccess'] = false;
         print "situation=Registration failed.&checklog=3";
      }

on (release, releaseOutside) {
		var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
		var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
		
		result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
			if (success) {
				trace("success");
				trace(result_lv);
				_root.body.stranice.regform.situations.html = true;
				_root.body.stranice.regform.situations.htmlText = result_lv.situation;
				if (result_lv.checklog == 1) {
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndStop(3);
				}
				if (result_lv.checklog == 2) {
 
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndStop(1);
				}
				if (result_lv.checklog == 3) {
					_root.body.stranice.regform.gotoAndStop(1);
				}
			} else {
				trace("failed");
				_root.body.stranice.regform.situations.htmlText = "Error connecting to server.";
			}
		};
		
		send_lv.adduser = 1;
		send_lv.status = "user";
		send_lv.username = _root.body.stranice.regform.username.text;
		send_lv.password = _root.body.stranice.regform.password.text;
		send_lv.name = _root.body.stranice.regform.name.text;
		send_lv.email = _root.body.stranice.regform.email.text;
 
		send_lv.sendAndLoad("userprocess.php?ck="+new Date().getTime(),result_lv,"POST");
 
}

When i submit form in flash with unused username everything is ok, data is passed into database and I get back in flash "You are registrated".
But if I submit a form with used username, I get back in flash "Registration failed. Username allready in use." (that is ok) but if I change username into one unused and press send button again there is still the same error "Registration failed. Username allready in use.".
Also if I delete @ mark from email in this same form and press send button once more I get more info about errors: "Registration failed. Username allready in use. Email is not correct."
But if I put @ mark back again and press send button again error info is stil there: "Registration failed. Username allready in use. Email is not correct." although now we have correct email and unused username in the form.

When I use this form on my local comp form fla file -> test movie, if I submit used username and get info about errors even when i close the window and start test movie again there is the same error. Only if I delete temporary internet files with offline contents and start movie again there is no errors.
So it's probably the flash that is caching this vars? How can I empty this cache?

 

by: mankisPosted on 2009-08-23 at 16:05:19ID: 25164654

on (press) {
      delete result_lv;
      delete send_lv;
}

Just to inform you that this is not working. Still gives the errors. Hoppe that someone will help me soon. I'm talking to myself here :)

I have tried to put  ob_start(); in PHP but it also didn't refresh the data.

 

by: mankisPosted on 2009-08-23 at 17:12:07ID: 25164878

Finaly I made it. I used unset() in PHP for variables $retval and $form->errors.

Glad to see that you've got the solution...  ;)

No, I don't need the point, but I just want to point out that it's Sunday today...  So things are quite slow...  You've got to consider that as well...  ;)
