ActionScript 3 + PHP: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null:
at flash.text::TextField/set text()
at kwangjaekim_fla::wholeform_16/completeHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
my as3 code is the following:
// build variable name for the URL Variables loader
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
//Build the varSend variable
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact_parse.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;
//Build the varLoader variable
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
varLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
//handler for the PHP script completion and return of status
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{
//value is cleared at ""
name_txt.text = "";
contact_txt.text = "";
msg_txt.text = "";
//Load the response PHP here
status_txt.text = event.target.data.return_msg;
}
//Add event listener for submit button click
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ValidateAndSend);
//function ValidateAndSend
function ValidateAndSend(event:MouseEvent):void{
//validate fields
if(!name_txt.length){
status_txt.text = "Please Enter Your Name";
}else if(!contact_txt.length){
status_txt.text = "Please Enter Your Contact Detail";
}else if(!msg_txt.length){
status_txt.text = "Please Enter Your Message";
}else {
// ready the variables in form for sending
variables.userName = name_txt.text;
variables.userContact = contact_txt.text;
variables.userMsg = msg_txt.text;
// Send the data to PHP now
varLoader.load(varSend);
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(151)});
} // Close else condition for error handling
} // Close validate and send function
my php code is the following:
<?php
// Create local PHP variables from the info the user gave in the Flash form
$senderName = $_POST['userName'];
$senderEmail = $_POST['userContact'];
$senderMessage = $_POST['userMsg'];
// Strip slashes on the Local variables
$senderName = stripslashes($senderName);
$senderContact = stripslashes($senderContact);
$senderMessage = stripslashes($senderMessage);
//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! change this to my email address !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$to = "put iny me email address";
// Place sender Email address here
$from = "$senderContact ";
$subject = "Contact from your site";
//Begin HTML Email Message
$message = <<<EOF
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<b>Name</b> = $senderName<br /><br />
<b>Contact</b> = <a href="mailto:$senderContact">$senderEmail</a><br /><br />
<b>Message</b> = $senderMessage<br />
</body>
</html>
EOF;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$to";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
exit();
?>
