Alright, well this code works fine and dandy when I run the flash from my computer. But when I upload it on the internet it stops working.
I have moved on now to where this is clearly a Flash security thing.I have a flash client that attempts to connect to an open socket on the same host as the one on which it lives.I am able to connect successfully from inside the Flash IDE, and when I run the swf movie locally on my machine, after granting it security clearance in the white list it connects as well. However, when I call the movie via the browser (URL...) it fails to connect.The socket reports that a connection attempt is made but immediately disconnects.I have a crossdomain policy file that looks like this: in the root directory of the host.[code]In the flash movie I have a line that looks like this: System. security. loadPolicyFile (URL...);And I'm thinking maybe that's where the problem is, but the documentation on how to use this method is not entirely clear. I'm in Flash CS3
View 1 RepliesI was just doing some testing using PHP sockets and Flash. I used several things, one thing is this tutorial:I have the server running, and when I run the swf via Flash it connects fine. But when I run it from the browser it can't connect.. Because that Tutorial is in AS2, I also wrote a quick client to connect with AS3, but I'm having the exact same problem.. it only connects if I run it through flash.Here's an example of the basic code:
Code:
var s:Socket = new Socket('my IP', 5445);
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, getData);

I'm trying to make a little ftp upload app - not a full FTP client, just something to enable image upload with decent performance. I basically took the approach Lee used in his POP3 socket tutorial. The problem I'm having is that I can connect to the FTP server and I can authenticate and log in but as soon as I try to enter passive mode for data transfer I get nothing- not even an error. From looking at the FTP RFCs, FTP requires two TCP connections - a command connection and a data connection - does this mean that I need to open a second socket for the data transfer? Another possible issue is the Flash Player security policy not allowing conection to ports under 1024 - I have not placed a policy file or policy server on the host running the FTP server but as I can successfully login, I appear to be able to connect to port 21 (standard FTP port) anyway. The code I'm using is:
Code: Select allvar s:Socket = new Socket("ftp.actechnology.co.uk",21);
var ftp_response:String;
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, receiveReply);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, showError);
[Code].....
why passive mode kills it or has successfully connected to a FTP server with the socket class
I am using a Socket (not xmlSocket) connection between flex applications and the server pushing messages.Now, when I connect from the local machine to the server everything is working file and running, connection is succesful and I get data back and forth.When I upload the application (flex) to the server and run it from there, I get a security sandBox violation message.Note:1. I do have a crossdomain file with * wildcard both on port and on domain.2. I created a Securiy.allowDomain("*") as well.Another thing.I also created another listener on that same server, listening to connections for port 843 (default) and this service just waited for a connection send policy file to the client and that's it.

View 7 RepliesI'm creating a client-server game. My client is a flex based game, and my server is erlang server. At the beginning, when I test directly my flex client in flash player, I can establish a connection easily to my erlang server through socket connection. And both can exchange data with no problem. The problem rise when I deploy my flex app at Apache http server, and running it using a browser by calling [URL] my flex socket sends message requesting for a crossdomain policy to my erlang server. So I create an xml message that represent a crossdomain policy, and send it back to my flex app as a response for that request.
Yet still I can't establish any permanent socket connection between my flex client and my erlang server. I know this because I add listener on my flex socket that will modify its internal state to CONNECTED, if a connection between client-server has established.
Steve Jobs just posted this article on why Apple rejects Flash... [URL] I agree that javascript and css can be used to replicate some of Flash's animation, though Flash does all sorts of scaling and tweening that is incredibly powerful, and I'm not sure that there's anything comparable in javascript, if there is, I certainly haven't seen it.
However, my question is about the socket. Flash has an incredibly powerful openSocket class that allows you to connect to a server and have the server and the client talk back and forth to one another. As far as I know there is no equivalent class in Javascript. Am I mistaken? Is there some secret mystery Ajax class that replicates the openSocket? If not, then that feature alone makes Flash an invaluable tool.

I want to create a movie that allows boxes to be dragged around, and for lines to be connecting each box, wherever they are dragged. I have made the boxes draggable with the attached code.
what I mean, here is an example FLA: boxes.fla
I have no idea where to start on this, because searching for things like AS3 draggable movie clip with lines attaching, etc isn't very helpful.
I am trying to create a group from 3 movie clip symbol instances on the stage. The three movieclip symbols are; node1, node2 & link.
here is what i was trying without success...// Trying to create a Nodegroup movieclip by attaching "circle nodes" to a "link" to each end
var linklist = null;
linklist[1] = this.attachMovie(link, 100);
linklist[1].node1 = link.node1;
linklist[1].node2 = link.node2;
but get the compile errors...

I'm trying to connect to an FMS server with a Flex application. I can throw the rtmp URL straight in as the source for a VideoPlayer and it will work, but can't figure out how to get it to work with a NetStream. The pure Flash Video element works as in the FMS Flash demos, but is extremely laggy and lacks all the nice functionality of the built VideoPlayer. Is there any documentation on working with FMS with Flex? We're at a point where we need to decide quickly if FMS will do what we need to do or if we should purse other technologies.
View 4 RepliesI am fairly new to FMS and really am trying to learn about it. My question is simple I hope;
I would like a message to pop up to a client when they connect that the max users has been reached. I have it set for 5 users and so I would like when the 6th user tries to connect to watch the video, a little box will pop up and say "Sorry, Max users has been reached. Please try again in a few minutes."
I was able to develop something and get it output through trace commands by following a tutorial I saw online, but I could never get any sort of message box I built to pop up.

i am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data.i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml.[code]can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?
