RE: flash-cf to save data

[Robert Redpath]

What is the output of:
http://www.preventcancer.org/bodyfun/main_game/save_game.cfm;
save_game_o.sendAndLoad(composite,null,GET);

Is it something like this format?Can you type something like this URL into
your browser to get it to work?
http://www.preventcancer.org/bodyfun/main_game/save_game.cfm?id=1
http://www.preventcancer.org/bodyfun/main_game/save_game.cfm?id=1high_scor
e=150high_score_releated=whatever
high_score=150high_score_releated=whatever

 
Also have you tried to output the variables on your CF page to make sure
they are being seenbefore you do any processing? Like: 
cfoutput
#url.id##url.high_score##url.high_score_related_info# etc
/cfoutput

Subject: flash-cf to save data

I'm trying to send data from Flash to Cold Fusion to have it entered 
in a DB.I can't get it to work.I'm experienced at flash but have 
not used loadVars before and am new to CF.

I have simplified the loadVars to a full url and a pretermined 
string, rather than building the string.The CF uses url.variable to 
get the info, so I'm passing it via the querystring.No matter what 
I do, it doesn't update on the DB.Here's the Flash code:

function sendData(save_string){

// Create a LoadVars object to hold the variables we wish to send
save_game_o = new LoadVars();
save_game_o.id = 1;
save_game_o.high_score=50;
save_game_o.high_score_related_info=bent|tennis_player;

save_game_o.saved_game=user{ljkh,11,3,B,m}score{0,1,1}vegetables}wo{}so{}so
{}hph{0};
save_game_o.load = function(success) {
if (success) {
 //doesn't show this//
 _level1.error.text = success:+success;
} else {
 _level1.error.text = error loading data;
}
};

var composite = 
http://www.preventcancer.org/bodyfun/main_game/save_game.cfm;
save_game_o.sendAndLoad(composite,null,GET);

}

The CF is at:
http://www.phiresearch.umd.edu/bodyfun/main_game/save_game.cfm
I put it on a server that doesn't have CF just so that you can view 
the code.The flash uses a server that runs CF fine.

Also, I made a composite of the url and the querystring and it worked 
fine, updating all the info, so it seems to be a Flash to CF 
communication problem.

thanks for any help.

RE: flash-cf to save data

[Robert Redpath]

In your CF page you are looking for URL variables: #url.id#, etc...

 
Have you tried plain 'ol variables: not #url.id# but #id#?

I don't know as it won't pop out a page to display the information if 
I use either loadVars (sendAndLoad) or LoadVariables.However if I 
do getURL, which pops out a page, I see the proper querystring and CF 
outputs the expected data.

yes.

Also have you tried to output the variables on your CF page to make sure
they are being seenbefore you do any processing? Like:
cfoutput
#url.id##url.high_score##url.high_score_related_info# etc
/cfoutput

I have with getURL and it looked fine, but not with sendAndLoad 
because it suppresses (it seems to me) the page output or rather I 
get it's redirected, supposedly to the flash app.

I can get this to work with loadVariables, but not loadVars, which 
has sendAndLoad.The reason that I want sendAndLoad to work is that 
it's more flexible and I can track it's progress better.

Also to return variable data to Flash, do I do:
cfquery name=return_saved_game datasource=cs-site
SELECT * FROM bodyfun_save_game
WHERE identifier = #url.id#
/cfquery
cfoutput
saved_game=#return_saved_game.saved_game#
/cfoutput

Should I expect that'll return a variable saved_game to the flash app?

Wasn't much about this in the archives and the cf-flash list seemed 
lonely.Don'tya-all do alot of Flash too?
