ActionScript 2.0 :: Invoking Servlets In Flash MX?
Nov 14, 2003
friend and I are working on this Flash application that retrieves data from a IBM DB2 database and displays it. We read somewhere that Flash can't connect directly to a database, thus some middleware is required. So we are using JSP or servlets for our middleware. The problemIn our best (but limited haha) knowledge, we understand that we need to first declare an XML object, and then use a Load method to invoke a servlet that accesses the database and fills the XML object with records of the database. Finally it'll return the filled object back to Flash. Are we correct in this sense?Er, the problem is, we have no idea on how the servlet code works. We can successfully connect to the DB2 database and retrieve records, thoughBtw, we did try loading a XML file into a XML object. However, it's wierd. This is our XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>

I'm developing a Flex application that employs BlazeDS with Tomcat on the backend. The Flex client authenticates through the ChannelSet which in turn creates an authenticated session on Tomcat. From then on, all of the client calls are authenticated transparently. However, I have a regular HttpServlet for uploading files, which does not get the session information from the BlazeDS servlets.
Is there a way that I can get the Principal object in the HttpServlet? I know that I can get the session ID from the BlazeDS servlet, pass it to the client, and then send that along with the upload request.

I'm working with a third party swf that I cannot change and am charged with making it work in a local environment, loaded within a container application I have built. The SWF was published for accessing the network sandbox, so whenever it invokes the ExternalInterface in a local html container, it throws a security sandbox error and kills execution. The ExternalInterface calls are all non-critical (logging) so if I can block them somehow, then I won't have a problem any more.

I am preparing a document for a project. The project's backend is developed in Java, frontend is adobe flex.
I am not sure about the correct way of describe the project in Model-View-Controller way.
For Model layer: Using Hibernate Java beans to implement all the business logic and persistence? For View Layer: Using Adobe flex send post or get request to Controller layer, and get respond in XML format. For Controller Layer: Using Java servlet to handle requests from Flex client?

In Flex ActionScript, a new object can be instantiated via the parameterless constructor with or without (). Example: var array:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection()
var array:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection
Is there a difference between the two? Is one preferred over the other?

I have moviclip called "b1" which I am using as a button. This b1 is in the shape of switch and when I am clicking on it it turn right and when I'm clicking again the switch is turning left to the primary position. this action is explained by AS code:[code]And only thing which I do is that I have to modernize this AS code for my own requirement. My problem is that I don't have any idea to connect those two codes. My scene ( my menu bar which I was talking about) looks like that: URL...and please click one of the buttons to see what i am talking about.

I've not touched AS2 since AS3 appeared, but circumstances brought me back to using AS2,Is there way to invoke the functions/methods in a loaded movieclip? I know you can do that in AS3 by invoking the Loader object's content's function, but I haven't been able to do that successfully in AS2. I'm currently using the AS2 MovieClipLoader object, like so (snippet):[code]as set up, I intended the target movieclip's function 'invokeInternal Function' to run, but it doesn't seem to be doing it although the SWF itself loads successfully.

I've got a movie that i'm calling a webservice from. When I run the movie in flash it downloads the service stub and makes the SOAPCall and loads the data as you would expect. But when i upload it to a site it loads the service stub makes the SOAPCall but "Received SOAP response from network" is not called.
About the files: I load the movie in an html file using UFO. There are some external interface calls before the webservice is called but these definatley return what is required for the webservice to run because the stub does not get downloaded if they don't return anything.[code]...

I've attached a project that I'm working on, but this is a couple versions old as it's the only one small enough to upload. While I've not yet completed everything, I'll try to talk through what I'm trying to do. I've included actionscript on (a couple of) the home/aboutme/etc. buttons so that when clicked, it calls a gotoAndPlay instance on the label layer, and I'll eventually add this same code to all five of the buttons. What I'd like to do is have the animation that's being called simply play and then stop rather than just continue on through the rest of the timeline -- for example, clicking on the home button plays from the frame where I want it to start, but then it continues on through the rest of the timeline.
I'm not having much luck with doing a mc.stop(); -- so would adding a this.stop(); to the actions layer at the various spaces where I want to stop playback meet my needs of (1) stopping the various actions the buttons have called, while (2) still allowing for button clicks to resume navigation and playback throughout the various animations?

I have a movie with a video and when I exit fullscreen mode (pressing ESC) I want to execute a function. I mean, exit fullscreen and execute my function at the same time when pressing 'ESC'.I tried to add a listener but it doesnt work.[code]When I go fullscreen, I press ESC and flash exits fullscreen, but myFunction() doesnt load. If I press ESC a second time myFunction() works.Is the ESC key blocked in fullscreen mode?

i have a for loop running through an array:
Code:
for (var e:int = 0; e < coo.length; e++) {
coo[e].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, evidenzia);
coo[e].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, evidenzia_fisso);[code]....
i'm recalling this cycle in a lot of functions so it's kinda boring and confusing repeating it every time.i tried assigning a variable to the elements:
Code:
var coo_att:MovieClip = MovieClip (coo[e]); but it doesn't work properly.

I have no trouble invoking a Class using the code on the main timeline shown below; var testClass:MyClass = new MyClass(); //code on maintimeline invoke Class. However, if I were to remove this code and just use the Flash Class Input Field and insert; MyClass //the name of the Class. I get throwback errors:
1 - Call to possible addFrame Script?
2 - MyClass must subclass flash.display.MovieClip etc
I've tried variations of adding and removing the flsh.display.MovieClip Class

the global.pane_array is specified in my FLA Obviously i would like to see the trace from the array, but nada.... if i put the movePanes() outside the rollover event, it works fine... however this does not achieve my goals
also if i declare the function as a global function from within my FLA, and then call it on the rollover e.g. _global.movePanes() - it works!

I've got to invoke a RPC service, and all the parameters sent are String. It works quite well when the data is relatively small, but when one of the string grows to the size about 10 or over hundred KB, immediately after the service is invoked, it goes to the error handler:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds." faultCode="InvokeFailed" faultDetail="null"] messageId="85CF2FB3-E79D-779F-87F9-B04520318D3A" type="fault" bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2]

I was recently able to get AS3.0 to connect to a MySQL database using PHP. However, my employer decided that he wants me to use a Java Servlet for the communications rather than PHP. I have written the servlets and they are all working properly, however, I can't get flash to run them properly in the application. When running the servlet I get an error stating "Error opening URL" Are there any specific changes that I need to change in my code so that I am able to communicate with a servlet?

I have a component called a TableDataViewer that contains the following pieces of data and their associated set functions:[code]This component is nested in another component as follows:[code]Looking at the trace in the logs, the call to set table is coming before the call to set dataSetLoader. Which is a real shame because set table() needs dataSetLoader to already be set in order to call its load() function.So my question is, is there a way to enforce an order on the calls to the set functions when declaring a component?

First post, I hope I get it right.
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.getInput = function(control:Object, actionPress:Function) {
if (control.buttonPress) {
this.actionPress();
}
};
It doesn't work, although one could think it would. You can probably guess what I'm after - I want to invoke getInput at various places and specify which function it's gonna call. If I use getInput(_root.buttonA, actionA) it should invoke a local function by the name of actionA, not actionPress.

I'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?

Are there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-

We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?
