I built a dynamic text box in a swf and have the jss code to get the user ip but cannot make it display in the swf.
Is there another way without java? Or a correct way with java ?
This part gets the IP (in javascript)
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
Can this information EVEN be delivered to swf dynamic text box and displayed ?
Thanx DjXtraktor,
BlaZed and :confused:
If the ip variable is working in javascript you could use this to pass it on into the flash movie. Then have a dynamic textfield named ip to display it.
Code:<script language="javascript">
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
document.write('<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width=550 height=300>');
document.write('<param name=movie value="movie.swf?ip=' + ip + '"> <param name=quality value=high> <param name=bgcolor value=#ffffff> <param name="menu" value="false">');
document.write('<embed src="movie.swf?ip=' + ip + '" quality=high bgcolor=#ffffff menu=false width=550 height=300 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>');
document.write('</object>');
</script>
make the post above appear... :)
When I added the code to the html, it produced a second copy of my swf file. My swf is named user_info, I changed the dynamic text box variable name to ip . I then removed the original code leaving the code you provided I still could not retieve the IP
------------------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// This part gets the IP
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
// This part is for an alert box
alert("Your IP address is "+ip);
// This part is for the status bar
window.defaultStatus = "Your IP address is "+ip;
// This part is for the title bar
document.write("<title>Your IP address is "+ip+"</title>");
// End -->
</script>
------------------------------------------------------
I don't want the alert box, status bar or title bar. What I would like to do is display the IP in the dynamic text box within the flash. So the ip will appear in my swf along side the time, date, flash version,...
I can't thank you enough for your assistance,
DjXtraKtor
Still BlaZed and :confused:
Replace the object and embed tags for your movie with this,
I've never tried finding the users ip address, but if the variable is being created okay, then this should pass it to the movie. Note to change any parameters in these tags to match your movie, eg #version=6,0,0,0 if you used flash mx.Code:<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
document.write('<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width=550 height=300>');
document.write('<param name=movie value="movie.swf?ip=' + ip + '"> <param name=quality value=high> <param name=bgcolor value=#ffffff> <param name="menu" value="false">');
document.write('<embed src="movie.swf?ip=' + ip + '" quality=high bgcolor=#ffffff menu=false width=550 height=300 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>');
document.write('</object>');
// End -->
</script>
I tried the script above in a new document and uploaded it to server and it didnt work form me.
Thank You catbert303 for all your help.
After inputting the code from you and uploading it I then had a scroll box in my text box. I now know how to use jss to pass text to a swf. With your help and a little more research I realized the var ip script doesn't work unless it is in shtml. It needs ssi. I am now going to try to figure out how shtml works.
Again thank You for all your help.
DjXtraKtor
I was writing a reply to catbert303 when you posted. The page must be shtml, needs server-side info. I changed the name on the server to*.shtml and lost my swf.
Thank You,
DjXtraKtor
Have you considered using PHP or ASP (if your server supports them) I think you can get the IP address like this in PHP (v 4.1.0 and later, for earlier versions use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'])
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Then you can edit the param name="movie" tag like this,
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf?ip=<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
; ?>">
and the embed src
<embed src="filename.swf?ip=<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
; ?>" etc...
and in ASP, through Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf?ip=<%= Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") %>">
and again the embed src
<embed src="filename.swf?ip=<%= Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") %>" etc...
I've been trying to figure out php since your last
post. I followed the tutorial http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ba...-776/more2.php
I followed it to a T , but all my localhost links prompt you to "open from location" or "save to disk" ???
Thank you , (once I figure out this php, and kill a few pints,
I'll get that ip into that flash),
DjXtraKtor
Does this happen even when you try to open the default apache page from just
http://localhost ?
No, I can access localhost it's every link after that.
The apache_1.3.27-win32-x86-no_src server install was o.k.;
I followed the config for the php-4.2.3 but the "test/exercise"
in the tutorial
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ba...-776/more4.php returned
the prompt, When I chose "Open" it displayed the code
<?
phpinfo();
?>
in the file PHPInfo.php ( not the info the code is supposed to display).
The same result for all the test/exercises for mysql-3.23.49-win,
and phpMyAdmin-2.3.2 . I uninstalled and reinstalled all the
programs (following the tutorial installs) 3 times all with the same result.
Before I turned in last night I emailed the man who posted the
tutorial, hoping for some insight , but have not heard back yet.
I am not grasping the php install config at all. I haven't had time to work
on my project or read up on php I've spent 2 days trying to configure the php ?!?!?
----------------------------------------------------------------
"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\ " is where my index page is. (Localhost)
"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\PHPInfo.php" is in this folder
"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\TestSQL.php" is there as well.
along with, "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\Admin" the folder for phpMyAdmin.

It looks like they're installin PHP as a module in apache, maybe you'd have more luck if you tried PHP as a CGI.
First make a copy of the file php4ts.dll (it should be in C:\php\ or wherever you put PHP) and copy this to C:\windows\system
Go back to the orginal version of your httpd.conf file and make a new backup (just in case) open a copy of this in your text editor and search for the word ScriptAlias you should find something a little like this, somewhere in the file
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"
Here add the line
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
Next find the word AddType in the file
Below any comments in the file add the line
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
finally find the action section of the file, it may look a little like this
#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
Add the line
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
Save the file and restart Apache, hopefully this will work :)
:DAfter I followed your instructoins I clicked on the
http://localhost/MyFolder/ and the contents appeared.
It worked !!!
I then dropped the apache manual in
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\MyFolder
If I click on the "manual" folder link in
http://localhost/MyFolder/I can veiw the contents,
but if I type the url manually into my browser
http://localhost/MyFolder/manual
I http 500 error ?? I tryed to access http://localhost/MyFolder/MyMainPage.html
The page loads but the swf will not?
The http://localhost/PHPInfo.php comes up blank\white ( from the tutorial test\excercise) .
Should I un/re-install php, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin ?
Thanx for all of your assistance, I will be reading all these manuals and documentation today to see what I've done or not
I can't wait to get back to my flash.
Thanx Again,
DjXtraKtor
( :zzz: it's 4:29 am after rollback ' to be continued...)
I kinda dont understand this :)
Can I please get a.zip file of all this stuff (only the ip getting thing including .fla)
Could it be a problem with where Apache is looking for the files? The default set up for your document root directory I think would be
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\
You can change this in your httpd.conf file to point to any directory you want to keep your files in, for example if you made a folder in the htdocs folder called PHPstuff,
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\PHPstuff\
Serach for DocumentRoot in the httpd.conf file, and change this to your directory (remember paths in Apache use /'s) eg,
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/PHPstuff" then find the <Directory...> section it should have a comment like this just before it,
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
So do what the comment says, and edit the <Directory ... line to
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/PHPstuff">
Hope this helps :)
There isn't really anything that happens in the fla file, all you need here is a dynamic textbox with the variable name ip to display the IP Address. The actual work goes on in the server side script, this finds the users IP Address and creates the variable ip in the movie containing the IP Address.Quote:

Here is a quick test file I made
Save it as test_ip.php and edit the filenames (test_ip.swf) to the filename of your movie (make sure this movie has the dynamic textbox in)Code:<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test_ip</TITLE>

To run it you need a server that can run PHP files, if you test on a local server you should probably see the IP address 127.0.0.1 appear in the textfield (this IP Address refers to the local machine)
uuhh...
* I've made a test_ip.php in notepad
* I've made a test_ip.swf with dynamic textfield called 'ip'
* I've uploaded both of them on my pafe
* And when I test it, it's not working?
http://members.lycos.nl/saphua/test_ip.swf
Does your server support PHP?
If it doesn't this worn't work. Also if they're running an old version of PHP your PHP file would need to look like
A link to just the swf file won't do anything, since the IP address variable is created by the PHP page the movie is embeded in.Code:<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test_ip</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

Can you please just send me an .zip of the files I've to upload?... I just cant find what I'm doing wrong :S
Okay, this is for PHP versions 4.1.0 and later what version does your host run?
It wont work for me :S...
I dont know what version of php my server has (its a free server called Lycos), is there not an other way to make this?
You could use ASP, but again that relies on your host allowing you to use ASP scripts. Did you try replacing the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] in the PHHP file?
Thank You , catbert303
I just completed the Apache / php install .
and it is working.
I loaded the ip test to the server as .html and it displayed the code in the box.
BUT when I saved it as a .php file it worked. Thank You Again.
I have been puting php off because I figured if I couldn't even
install it, how the heck could I could ever use it.
For anyone running XP and struggling as I was,I ( with the help of
catbert303, and alot of reading) made the following changes:
==================================================
PHP
Xtract the zip into a new sub-directory called c:\php4win.
To configure PHP4, create a sub-directory called c:\phpWeb. This is where your PHP files
will reside. Rename the file c:\php4win\php.ini-dist to php.ini. Open this php.ini file
with a text editor and change the doc_root and extension_dir lines so that they read as follows -
doc_root = "c:\phpWeb" ;
extension_dir = "c:\php4win"
Then move the two-file php.ini and php4ts.dll to c:\windows. If you haven't already,
make sure you delete the php.ini file from c:\php4win as otherwise it may cause conflicts
later.
==================================================
Configure Apache for PHP4
search DocumentRoot change to
DocumentRoot "C:/phpWeb"
search <Directory change to
#<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
<Directory "C:/phpweb">
Then under the line AddType application/x-tar .tgz add the lines:
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4win/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe"
==================================================
THEN I saved published my .swf in the C:/phpweb directory,
added <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="****.swf?ip=<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>"> from Catbert 303,
and saved it as testip.php
and DONE it works!
==================================================
Along with the help of Catbert 303, I found these two tutorials helpful
a tutorial by Jeffrey Hill,and a tutorial at
http://in.geocities.com/samdarshipal...-php-mysql.htm .
I searched and read sifting through all the docs, files... for two days straight. I hope this helps others as much as it has
empowered me.
...And Thank You FlashKit .

Glad it working, enjoy PHP :)
