There's a common strategy for posting to a database where a serverside page is called, passing it querystring data, in order to add entries to a database.
This is not secure though, anyone can decompile the .swf and hack the database by calling the serverside page with their own info. Does anyone know of a secure strategy that does not rely on obfuscation?
We are planning a desktop client application with Adobe AIR. The client app will be delivered to our customers with a database, which contains monthly updated marketing data provided by our company. As different customers will buy different sets of data from us, for example, a customer is only interested in marketing data in a specific product category, while another customer need all data in a certain region. After a customer installs this client app, new data will be emailed to the customer every month.
So, the requirement is to keep the data accessible only by the customer who bought it. After reading through AIR's secure local store and database encryption feature, I came up with the following design: each customer will have his own secret key (stored in AIR's secure local store), the secret key is used to encrypt the data that the customer has purchased. Of course, the monthly data that we sent to the customer will be encrypted using the same secret key. So my questions are: is AIR's database encryption and secure local store secure enough for this use case? If someone gets the encrypted database file, can he decrypt the DB?
I have an ongoing project that outputs xml data to my client's server via a php script. The client would like to move the XML into a database, and their database company has instructed me to POST the XML to a web address with a form field linked to the database. This produces a server error (if I manually paste the XML into the form it works). In order to get this to work, does there need to be a PHP or some other server side script between Flash and the database
View 12 RepliesHow I can send some text in a dynamic flash textfield to a mySQL database and vice versa? Basically I've created a text field - assuming it has to be dynamic (with an instance name of "tUserdata"), it's going to be multiline text, and upto 255 characters. As the user clicks the submit button, the data held in the flash text field is sent to the mySQL database and stored there. I understand that i have to use PHP as well - and heard i need to use the loadVars function. Need Coding in PHP and connecting to a MySQL database, and what actionscript I need to insert.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.
I have researched this issue all over and most people say use the .refresh() method to update a datagrid after updating or adding a new record. This does not do anything. So, my issue is this. I have a mySQL database hosted I am connecting via PHP, I have 1 mxml file and 2 php files (I know I can use just 1 but I am learning and this was easier for me to use for troubleshooting). The issue is no matter what I change on the datagrid the update does not show on the datagrid unless I close out of IE and reopen it. I can refresh or open the page in another window and the update does not show. I have to exit entirely and restart in order for any updates or additions to show.Here is my licenseTracker.mxml

I am working on a function to generate a form at runtime in Flex based on a call to the DB. The call to the DB returns the field types, id, tooltips etc as an arraycollection, the arraycollection is then parsed in order to ascertain what control to display based on the type field in the array - this bit works fine.However, i am stuck on trying to save the form fields back to the database using a CFC.my form rendering code is as follows but how do i save values entered back to the database? rendering code..

I am planning on using Flash Builder 4/Flex to write an AIR application which is primarily based around recording, storing and analyzing data.I'll be creating charts etc that need to update in almost real time.It's essential to me that the application be able to function without an internet connection so I need a local database of some variety,but I would also eventually like to build in online synchronization of the data where either database can be update each other based on newer information. Moreover, some type of encryption would definitely be welcome, and speed is a large concern
Synchronization: Primarily updates/additions/deletions will be done on the offline database, but ideally I want to have a web interface that will allow the same updates/additions/deletions and will be synced (beyond that I'm not sure exactly how to do it as I can model that based on what is most achievable).I'm wondering if there's any prebuilt engine that could handle the synchronization of 2 databases. I may end up having the web interface only be for additions, which would be significantly easier to sync.. and I may start that way, but i want to build with technologies that will best allow me to implement full online crud at some point.
Can I build flash application that connects to database? (MySQL) For example: Photo Gallery that brings me the photos from database...
View 3 RepliesHere is the issue: a client wants his entire equipment inventory accessible by persons navigating to his jquery mobile site. The inventory that exists on the desktop site was, as I understood, built with Flex. Is it possible to access this database for the jquery mobile site? I believe it is. I was then given this information from someone in the know:
Database:
mlxx.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com
login: mxxx
[code]...
Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?

am trying to use AS 3 (for which I have beginner skill) to send and receive data to/from an ASP page (this ASP page is done) that interacts with a MS SQL databaseThe Flash SWF would send a name and password entered by the user in the SWF to the ASP page; the ASP page script (already written) would check with the DB, return either YES or NO (YES if the name/password is found, NO if not), plus return a score number, and then the ASP page script would write these 2 variables as a response to the Flash SWF (var data = YES or var data = NO, plus var score = 'the score numeric value'.

On an mxml file I've created a button simply to make it easy to call an AS3 function, and in the function, I'm making a URL request. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, because my tweet ain't posting. I got these variables in the curl request provided by Twitter themselves, which actually worked.

Posting Image to Facebook with Flash?
View 1 RepliesI've created an flash application that will post variables to a PHP page. This PHP page will then take the variables and using GD Libraries, create a JPEG image on my server and save it. I'm writing in AS3 based on the AS2 tutorial I found here.The variables I'm sending are height and width of the image, and then a very long string containing all the values of the pixel colours, with rows and columns separated by characters. (ie ffffff,dddddd-aaaaaa,cccccc). The example here is only a 2x2 image, so a small 400x300 image is 120,000 pixels x 6 characters = 720,000 characters + all the separators! This method is working quite well, but can take about 20-30 seconds to send on a slow connection.My explanation is very long but the question is quite simple. I know you can get progress events and bytesTotal and bytesLoaded on incoming URLVariables, but has anyone discovered a way to track the progress of sending out variables?

I got to create a web site for school. And I'm going to create a little flash, where someone posts sth very small and the last thing posted is shown in flash, and there is a form where you write and submit.And it should save the stuff posted in a text and people should be able to look at it.Actually, I have "no" idea where to start or what to do. Because I only know HTML, a little XML and AS. If someone could create something like that, it would be great because I could use it as a tutorial and learn some new stuff.
