Appending XML with Flash & PHP

[Taidaishar]

Remember, this is using a server technology that can only be tested on a server that supports PHP. I'll see if I can get around to uploading the file later today.

I can't find the file... my work laptop just recently crashed and I had a backup, BUT the backup was made BEFORE I made this file.... so now I've lost it... which is bad news for me AND you.

I'll see if I can give you a bit more explanation through a bit more commenting:

// Set the URL for the PHP uploader scripts
var myUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("writeit2.php");
var url2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("putFile.php");


//reads in the current XML document in order to add to it
function readXML():void
{
    //xmlText.text = "reading xml file";
    var vers:* = new Date().getTime();
    
    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

    myLoader.load(new URLRequest(path+"songs.xml"));
};


// Function that fires off when the user presses the "done" btn... begins the process of uploading the MP3 file
function uploadVars(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    //mcSermonsPage is just a movieclip that contained all my components, text fields and OTHER movie clips.
    
    //mcBlocker is just a movieclip that covers up the preloader until someone hits the done button
    mcSermonsPage.mcBlocker.visible = false;
    
    fileRef.upload(url2);
    
    //btnDone is a button that starts the upload process and this makes it invisible once it's clicked
    mcSermonsPage.btnDone.visible = false;
    readXML();
}


//called when the current XML document is loaded and ready for addition
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    //This runs if you're uploading a file for the first time... otherwise it skips it so as not to overwrite data previously added to the XML file
    if(runCount <= 1)
    {
        myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
        list = new XMLList(myXML);
    }
    
    var node:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1, "song")
    
    var urlNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1, "url");
    //txtFilename is an input text field that contains the "URL" data that is to be appended onto the XML file
var urlText:XMLNode = new XMLNode(3, "sermons/"+mcSermonsPage.txtFilename.text)
    urlNode.appendChild(urlText);
    node.appendChild(urlNode)

    var preacherNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1, "preacher");
    //txtSpeaker is an input text field that contains the "preacher" data that is to be appended onto the XML file
    var preacherText:XMLNode = new XMLNode(3, mcSermonsPage.txtSpeaker.text)
    preacherNode.appendChild(preacherText);
    node.appendChild(preacherNode)

    var dateNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1, "date");
    //txtDate is an input text field that contains the "date" data that is to be appended onto the XML file
    var dateText:XMLNode = new XMLNode(3, mcSermonsPage.txtDate.text)
    dateNode.appendChild(dateText);
    node.appendChild(dateNode)

    var titleNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1, "title");
    //txtTitle is an input text field that contains the "title" data that is to be appended onto the XML file
    var titleText:XMLNode = new XMLNode(3, mcSermonsPage.txtTitle.text)
    titleNode.appendChild(titleText);
    node.appendChild(titleNode)

//fyi, all of the text fields mentioned previously were on the mcSermonsPage movie clip
    
    list.appendChild(node);

};

// Function that fires off when the MP3 File is selected from PC and Browse dialogue box closes
function syncVariables(e:Event):void
{
    //txtFilename is a textbox that holds the filename of the file chosen in the browse box (fileref)
    mcSermonsPage.txtFilename.text = "" + fileRef.name;
    mcSermonsPage.btnDone.visible = true;

    //mcProgress is a movie clip used for a preloader
    mcSermonsPage.mcProgress.width = 1;

    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.body = myXML;
    url2.data = variables;
    url2.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
}

// Function that fires off when the upload of the MP3 file is complete... this function uploads the XML
function completeHandler(e:Event):void
{
    myUrl.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    myUrl.data = myXML;
    myUrl.contentType = "text/xml";
    
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    xmlLoader.load(myUrl);

    xmlLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, xmlProgress);
}

@ Taidaishar
Thanks !

[Taidaishar]

I didn't think about decompiling the SWF file. Yeah, I'll zip it up and attach it in a few minutes.

[g2gayan]

thanks alot sir i got the swf

[squirtpunk]

    if(runCount <= 1) 
    { 
        myXML = new XML(e.target.data); 
        list = new XMLList(myXML); 
    } 

where did you define runcount?

[squirtpunk]

also I'm getting a

1120: Access of undefined property myXML. " myUrl.data = myXML; "

and were
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
list = new XMLList(myXML);

defined somewhere else?

i changed it to

var myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
var list = new XMLList(myXML);

but havent been able to test because of that error.

Could anyone help?
