Flash Integration
This example uses the methods and properties of the Flash ActionScript XML object to do the following:
| 1) | Construct an HTTP QueryString |
| 2) | Send the HTTP QueryString to iPing's notification platform server to request a notification |
| 3) | Load the server's response XML document |
| 4) | Parse the XML document to get status of transaction ("OK", "ERR"). The value of the element "pduType" holds the status of the transaction. |
The code example below uses the Flash ActionScript XML (object).
XML is supported by Flash Player 5 and Flash Player 6.
In Flash MX, the XML object has become a native object.
Flash Code Example
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//submit button
submit.onRelease = function() {
//Construct HTTP QueryString
GENERAL_BASE_URL = "https://www.iping.com/services/iping.asp?";
vUrl = GENERAL_BASE_URL;
vUrl += "method_name=putnotification";
vUrl += "&user_name=TestDriver"
vUrl += "&password=12345";
vUrl += "&ndt=1/1/2003";
vUrl += "&ntz=-5;
vUrl += "¬ification_type=Ms.Reminder";
vUrl += "&content_type=Text Message";
vUrl += "&content_subtype=QuickPing";
vUrl += "&msg_text_body=Hello and welcome to iPing";
if (ckboxPhone.getValue()) // send phone call?
{vUrl += "&pn=" + phone_number;}
if (ckboxEmail.getValue()) // send email?
{
vUrl += "&email_to=" + email_address;
vUrl += "&email_from=quickping@iping.com";
vUrl += "&email_subject=QuickPing! Reminder";
vUrl += "&email_template=eml_generic.xml";
vUrl += "&email_body=Hello and welcome to iPing";
}
//You must use the constructor new XML() to create an instance
//of the XML object before calling any of the methods
//of the XML object.
notificationXML = new XML();
//Construct an XML object to hold the server's reply
notificationReplyXML = new XML();
// Set onLoad Function
notificationReplyXML.onLoad = onNotificationReply;
//Send QueryString to Server
//Load Server's Response XML document
//and put it in notificationReplyXML object
notificationXML.sendAndLoad(vUrl, notificationReplyXML);
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Get Reply from Server
//This Call back function is executed
//after notificationReplyXML is loaded with response XML document
function onNotificationReply(){
//---------Sample Success XML Reply-------------

// Get the first XML element
bSmartXML = this.firstChild;

bSmartXMLNodes = bSmartXML.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<=bSmartXMLNodes.length; i++)

}

gotoAndStop("Success"); // goto Success frame in main Timeline.
else

}
