I need to pass private data from MySQL to a flash file securely. I have a PHP script that is assigning variables on the server side - how do I pass this to flash without being available publically? I assume XML and an HTTP query string are out of the question because of security. What's the most secure way of doing this? Basically I have some file paths that I need to load into a music player - however, I don't want these URLs to be publicly known. I was hoping I could pass data directly to flash securely somehow.
ok so when i need to connect a swf to some sort of data source on the server be it XML, a .NET DLL, a CFC or what ever so that i can load data from a database or what ever, everyone is always saying that i shouldn't hard code the connection string into my actionscript as anyone can get it and do malicious things with it. So how should i load the connection string into flash. if i put them on the server in an XML file or somthing like that then i still need to put a connection string into the actionscript in order to load in my main connection strings into the actionscript.
Basically i need to know how to load an external string into a swf without anyone else being able to get hold of that string for them selves. i am developing an app for somone and i need it to connect to a database and i need it to be secure. i have everything sorted except making the connection string to the database unstealable.
I've created a quiz with following variables: name phone email score.
The first three varibles are submitted by form and sent to db(these are 3 text fields).
A end of test I need to send the score (score is a dynamic text field which kept score throughtout quiz) to mysql db.The variable for score is also called "score"
Can this be done using loadVArs? should I be using "score.text" to ref score variable?
I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]
When I pass a single variable (telephone) from Flash using the below it works fine
var xmlSaveLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlSaveLoader.load(new URLRequest("customer_insert.php?telephone="+teleph one));
I can read the variable in PHP using $key_telephone = $HTTP_GET_VARS[telephone];
and then run sql command to insert into table customers mysql_query("INSERT into customers (telephone) values ($key_telephone) ");
However, I have a problem and don't know how to pass multiple variables to PHP. I tried the following to pass a second variable (first_name)but it doesn't seem to work... xmlSaveLoader.load(new URLRequest("customer_insert.php?telephone="+teleph one+"&first_name="+first_name));
I want to pass variables to php, then the php runs a query from the mysql database, and then sends back the new variable... I looked for tutorial, but nothin' seemed to work.
I'm trying to develop a simple as3 flash program that passes a collection a variables and returns a result based on the filtered results of a mysql table. Here is my as3 file:
[Code]...
No value is returned. If I replace with '$test4' and '$test5' with numbers such as 1 and 17, a value is returned. Where am I making a mistake?
I like to call for different SWF files from a link in a MySQL database to use in a Detailpage with PHP. Photos and text are no problem. The AC code is probably complicating things.
I'm trying to get some data from PHP/MySQL and send it to Flex..Let's say That my object in Flex would look like this:
package some.package.VO { [RemoteClass(alias="VOPerson")] [Bindable] public class VOPerson {
[code]....
In my case, personDetails is an Array, and in theory, it could be some other object... But is it really necessary to make it an object? I do not intend to use that data nowhere else except within my VOPerson class. It is some associative array, and I can easily transform it to another object, but there will be lots of similar situations in my app, so I would like to avoid making unnecessary (value) objects if there is no need for it...
I don't like cookies. For saving data, submitting scores, etc. I'd like everything to be submitted into user's accounts in a mySQL database. I can do all that very easily with PHP, but how would I make it worth with flash/actionscript (I mainly/am used to working with AS2, but I have Flash CS5 now, so I can work with AS3 if necessary or more efficient). I have no idea how to mix actionscript with other languages (other than using a link with get variables, but, aside from the obvious reasons why that won't work, I'd prefer, if possible, to transmit data without any page reloading).
Are there any security holes or downsides I should consider before making a flash login system? I'd like to allow users to login if they wish to submit their score or save their data (mainly for users playing on a third-party site).
i'm trying to connect Action Script 2.0 Scrollpane to get data from php and mysql... my problem is in the action script 2.0 i'm trying to recieve data from mysql by php, Here is my php code :

I've scripted a connection to PHP that gets data from MYSQL and outputs that into a datagrid.When I encrypt the swf with Ameyata SWF Encrypt 5.0, and upload it to my webhost, it looks fine. I can click the header of the datagrid (that sorts the data), but when I click on a field of the datagrid, it just freezes and my datagrid is not usable. I'd have to reload the page in order to do something with the datagrid again. But the problem with the field remains.It works when I'm not encrypting the swf.URL...
assigned to 101. Inside of 101 I have dynamic text fields with the var names of price, fee, and state.I have a movieclip 102 that is exactly like 101. What I need to know is, how can differentiate 101 from 102 so that when the db data comes in that 101 and 102 display different info?Also, I can't change the var names. They must stay as price, fee, and state in both movieclips.
I use loadvariables to get data from mySQL using PHP and up to Flash. Flash gets the data flawlessly. Now one of the data I load into Flash is a path to an image.
My problem is, when I check the imgVar variable, it telles me, its value is: images/news/001.jpg
Now When I use the AS: loadMovie(imgVar, blanker);
it does nothing (blanker is the movie clip I load the picture to).
When I use the AS: loadMovie("images/news/001.jpg", blanker); it shows the picture...
My other question: If I solve this problem, how Can I resize the externally loaded image by just setting either the height or width and doing the resize so that it won't deform my image.

I am trying to load data from mysql to xml to flash using actionscript and php. Im doing something wrong but not sure what.Basically, my php file (latestnews.php) looks like this
this is placed in the same frame number as the dynamic text fields but on a seperate layer. The dynamic text fields are:
Title_txt Comments_txt Date_txt
There is no output error but nothing is showing up. The file is using actionscript 2.0 and wondering if the actionscript i am using is write for that format?
I'm making a login script and adding the data to my local mysql database using php.it works as long as I browse in my browser to localhost/ flash/ movie.swf but if I just open the folder and run the .swf file it doesnt work
I need to create a stand alone desktop app that uses a database. It's been a long time since I did any VB work, and I need to learn Flash for another job anyway...is there any reason why I shouldn't use Flash for the desktop app?
I'm in the process of expanding an admin area for a website (coded with PHP and MySQL) and would like to get my client list into a flash combo box. the main columns I would need would be the account and the company name... In a regular example would be
ive managed to get info from a mysql database into flash in a combo box. i have a text field and i want it to load in the corresponding data when a new title is selected in the combo box.
i want to fill a listbox with data from a MySql table. the code ive gotten working is for static data from an xml file. here it is:
var options:XML = new XML(); options.ignoreWhitespace = true; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("fillRegions.xml"));
[Code]....
this creates an echod file that looks just like the above xml example. so, how do i change my original AS3 code to pull data from this php file rather then the xml file?
I've been struggling with this for a few weeks, but I still can't get it right, and all the info I found is too ambiguous or uses AS2. What I want to do is to retrieve info from a MySQL database, using PHP, and send it to Flash; and in the other way, input info into the database from a Flash form. I want this to make a series of Flash tests for my website. show me a simple example code (on both PHP and Flash) of how to exchange data? PD: I know how to work with databases on PHP, so the only PHP code i need to see is the php-flash communication part.
I can get the data from the mysql database into the flash onDataLoad function but cant get it outside the function, and that is what i need to malipulate other data already in the project (update it)
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/flash_php_mysql/FormData.php?"))
so i managed to get data from mysql through php through xml and output it in flash by dynamic textfield. So i got a value from mysql, an integer, modified it with flash using commands, and want to send it to php and overwrite the old integer and save
