Flash Form sendAndLoad problem syncing with JSP

[Mark__G]

I have a flash form that is sending variables to a online sales planning and processing database called PlanPlus Online (similar to Sales Force). After setting up variables on their end I have plugged these variables into the actionscript in order for them to sync up with the PlanPlus Online database. The form sends no problem but the variables aren't matching up. The variables are posting with "_level0." before the variable name and I believe this is the problem?



function onReset() {
ebff_2300.text = "";
ebff_2301.text = "";
ebff_2302.text = "";
ebff_2303.text = "";
ebff_2304.text = "";
ebff_2305.text = "";
ebff_2306.text = "";
ebff_2307.text = "";
ebff_2308.text = "";
ebff_2309.text = "";
ebff_2311.text = "";
ebff_2312.text = "";
cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting.selected = false;
cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Planning.selected = false;
cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Day_Of_Coordination.selected = false;
cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Bachelor_Bachelorette_Party.selected = false;
submit_btn.enabled = true;
}
function onSubmit() {
// Create a new LoadVars instance for the form data
formData = new LoadVars();
// Initialize formData variables:
formData.ebff_2300 = ebff_2300;
formData.ebff_2301 = ebff_2301;
formData.ebff_2302 = ebff_2302;
formData.ebff_2303 = ebff_2303;
formData.ebff_2304 = ebff_2304;
formData.ebff_2305 = ebff_2305;
formData.ebff_2306 = ebff_2306;
formData.ebff_2307 = ebff_2307;
formData.ebff_2308 = ebff_2308;
formData.ebff_2309 = ebff_2309;
formData.ebff_2311 = ebff_2311;
formData.ebff_2312 = ebff_2312;
formData.ebff_2331 = "Simply VIP Wedding";
formData.fbid = "366";
formData.fbky = "DAgnMtKq";
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting;
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Planning = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Planning;
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Day_Of_Coordination = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Day_Of_Coordination;
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Bachelor_Bachelorette_Party = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Bachelor_Bachelorette_Party;
// Submit the order data
//object to receive the server response.
var thankyou:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//server response is either true or false
thankyou.onLoad = function() {
gotoAndStop("thankyou");
}
formData.sendAndLoad("http://4.71.96.208/forms/fmsubmit.jsp", thankyou, "POST");
}

[Mark__G]

So figured out part of the problem...



formData.ebff_2300 = ebff_2300;
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting;


needs to be changed to



formData.ebff_2300 = ebff_2300.text;
formData.cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting = cfmvoption_cfMV_ebfb_na_ebff_2310_Consulting.selected;


now my user inputs are processing correctly (I created a cfm file to check my variables and their values). But, still no luck with the PlanPlus Online jsp file?

[BLiZZaRD]

So everything is working correctly you just get the Level_0 stuff in front of the variables when it is received by PlanPlus?

Double check that you don't have instance names AND variable names in the text boxes. It is either/or but very very rarely both. Depending on the use it is usually var that needs to be named and not instance.

[Mark__G]

No I fixed that problem... (needed to add the ".text or .selected" to each variable value)

The problem now is, well I have no idea. The variables are correct and they send correctly but it still does not want to sync with the PlanPlus online jsp file?

my cfm file returned these results...




CFMVOPTION_CFMV_EBFB_NA_EBFF_2310_BACHELOR_BACHELORETTE_PARTY = false

EBFF_2303 = test city
EBFF_2302 = test address
EBFF_2384 = test groom Name
EBFF_2383 = test Last Name
EBFF_2382 = test First Name



Here is the html form script that PlanPlus generates that I am targeting for this flash form

Is the jps file a local file to you? It isn't appearing to me, and neither is the /forms/ directory.

If you need a log in name/password where is it in your AS/Flash file?

[Mark__G]

No the jsp file I do not have access to, it is on PlanPlusonline's server, this is what is making this so difficult to figure out.

these vars that I am setting are what I'm assuming are the identifiers...
FBKY = DAgnMtKq
FBID = 366

if you point your browser to
http://4.71.96.208/forms/fmsubmit.jsp?fbid=366&fbky=KPVQX33R
you can see that the form processes. If you do not have those variables set the jsp file will give an error that it doesn't exist.

Do you think I have to send login and password as well?

[BLiZZaRD]

If you need a log in ID and password to access the Plan Plus stuff, then yes you would need to submit that as well.

This is a hard one to find the problem with without seeing the whole thing working and having the OE files to compare to what's happening.

Another question... PlanPlus does this for more than just you, yes? They are basically a hub. Do they have the Flash set up for you or are you taking *MTL files and converting them to work in Flash?

If the later, what do the original files look like?

[Mark__G]

Yes you need a log in and password to access Plan Plus.

You are correct they are a hub, and they have never had anyone try and use a flash form with their system so they are of no help to me on this. I am creating the flash form myself based on the script they offer for an html form to sync with their system for our account (the html code I posted earlier).

I apologize I don't even know what MTL files are?

[Mark__G]

I forgot to mention there is 3 javascript files that are linked to and 2 style sheets. I have them linked in the html file of the flash form, wondering if perhaps I need to communicate with one of them via actionscript for the form to process correctly?

I apologize I don't even know what MTL files are?

*MTL = HTML or DHMTL or XHTML, etc...

Do you have the fla and the original HTML file you can zip up and I can look at for you?
