View 1 RepliesI am wondering if there is a way to fill out fields in another website with the input text (or dynamic text) fields from my flash page.
I want to be able to have a sort of 'auto fill' function, where the 'username', 'password' etc. fields in my flash page get transfered to the other website's fields. I had the actionscript set up that looked like:
getURL("http://www,zimbio,com&username=" + userName + "&password=" + passWord)
(not sure if that was the exact way I had it, but you get the idea)
Anyways, some fields (like email and username) worked, but some (like password and 're-enter email', did not work.

I have made a simple website in Flash which I would now like to put online. I have published the movie as an HTML file and tested it - it works offline. I then used my FTP program to transfer the html document to my web space and tested it. I saw the 'Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control' message but, even when I clicked, the screen remained blank.

I managed to create a simple flash animation but it's not 100% correct.
-First, what's the proper way to transfer an image in flash?I chose paste special. It worked but it made the image a bit pixelated. The original looked fine.
-Second besides adding more or less frames, how do you change the speed of the entire timeline.
-Third, does an image need to be converted in any way? The animated image is it's own layer. So does it have to be converted to symbol or movie or something else?
-Fourth, how do I move(not motion) the image. Do I have to move each frame group or is there a way to move the entire timeline if I need to realign the image?
I have a question that I cant quite start.I have a web site that record some cookies: name, age, sex, etc.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a flash banner that display this information, like: hello [name], how are you doing today?
I was searching online and everything that I found needs something outside flash to work.
Is that a way to create a flash that can read cookie's values and show then?
Long time leecher, decided to join in and ask a question. I have a video auto play on a site i am working on [URL].. Issue is, it auto plays every time the page loads...
Is there a way for me to set a cookie that flash could look for and either choose a welcome back video or not auto play video?
EDIT: SharedObject is awesome. Ignore this i did it.
It's not exactly that, but it works the same way. It's about a login form with Flash and PHP. It must send data (username and password) to PHP, PHP has to check for a record in MySQL and then to return data to Flash. How does it works and how to return the data to Flash?

View 1 RepliesWe have a flash video that was created for our project, we dont the source so we have to work around the compiled flash file. We are going to host the video on our domain and the video creates a sol cookie (flash cookie) file to store how far the user has proceeded though the video. So my plan is to access this cookie to see how far the user has progressed and then fire an event when they have finished the movie.
I have been googling for some help but haven't found to much. I have found out that its possible to do in javascript and I have found some .net sol file viewers but haven't seen any examples I can get my mind around.
I have watched the traffic that gets created with fiddler and every time the next button is clicked a new request is fired with the swt file that is being accessed. I would also be happy with tracking every time one of these swt files has been accessed as well.
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to read an HTML created cookie in Flash. I have a video player that should autoplay once in a 24hour period, the next day it should autoplay again for the end-user.This is what the script on the HTML page looks like that displays the Flash player and the cookie:[code]I did some searching and found this Have a HTML page play Flash movie only once (not when revisited...) but again this is just a Flash function which never allows for a restart in a certain time period.how do I read that var x(cookie) in Flash?
View 3 Repliesi have a flash application connected with a script on a remote server(X)different from the server hosting the website(Y)the application on server X needs to get some user information so i need to identify the user by what i have in the cookie
remote server X will get those informations from server Y is there any way i can get the user name or user id from the CAKEPHP cookie var?the authentication is the one found on cakephp website
[flash]----request---->[server X]----request---->[server Y]----response---->[server Y]...
I use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
I am trying to pass a cookie with multiple name/value pairs into flash and I would like to know if someone know how I can do this. I know that I need to pass the vars from the cookie to my Flash Params but I am not sure how I would do that, given that this is a multiple array cookie.

The first time you visit the site there will be asked to fill in your name (for example: George) and then you continue to the next 'page' in the flash. The next time you visit the site, i want that the site automaticly forwards to the last page, and there is a text 'hi, *name*' (hi, George)

This is not something new I'm sure and a lot of people have found or are looking for a solution for stablishing an encrypted data transfer between flash and php but the wiered thing is that there are few resources when I try googling about this so, all I'm trying to achive is to encrypt data in flash with a key or something (I don't want to build my own algorithm, I'd like to use some standard ones like MD5) and then send the data out to a PHP file and after the php read the data it will also encrypt and send the results back to flash...
I was happy and downloaded the as3crypto class from google code... installed and ran it and it worked for the first tests... then when I tried using that method in my project I noticed that the encrypted data being sent from PHP to flash, sometimes does not work! again I searched and found out that some other people are also having the same problem and are saying that this as3crypto does not work well with sending data to php!!!I'm out of time and out of mind so what should I do if I want my data sent to php and vice versa to be encrypted? or maybe I'm using that as3crypto thing in a wrong way?! I did exactly as described in the above sample blog.
I have a problem reading from Flex a url which has Transfer-Encoding: chunked because the FLex waits for the server to send terminate signal which in chunked transfer isn't sent...
View 2 RepliesI need to transfer data from a flash application running in a browser to a server running php. If I use an https connection will that be enough to ensure that the data sent from flash to the server is encrypted and sensitive data can't be sniffed, or do I need to do encryption in my flash application itself?
View 1 Repliesi have a problem with flash maybe i have an online exchange table which loaded in a flash page when i import the exchange swf in a flash page on ftp it cant get the datas from php but when i open the exchange swf independently in ftp it get the datas from php and it works
View 1 RepliesI know there are a lot of topics already on this. I have read (hundreds of) them and I'd still like your input.
If I have a flash UI that takes user input and passes it to PHP; is this secure?
I have read that, yes, this is okay. I have also read that no, you need to encrypt the data, by say hashing it before sending to PHP. OK, easy, I do this already but.....
In my case I have the data/password stored (when the user inputs it, not in the swf of course) and sent every time I want to access any PHP (using AMFPHP). The PHP check this password each time and only runs if it gets the correct password. So in this case if I hash the password, it makes no difference, it just changes what the password is rather than providing any actual security (well maybe minimal because it's less recognizable).
So can someone extract a password that is sent from flash to PHP?
I've got a page that has a flash banner on it with a small animation. In fact, I've got four versions of this banner, and I'd like to be able to load a different version each time someone visits the site. Can someone please help this rank amateur devise a script that will allow me to do this? It has four different .swf files, and I need to load them such that the same person doesn't see the same .swf file on consecutive visits. Normally, I'd do this with cookies, but I just don't see how to get it done with Flash CS5 and/or Actionscript 3.
View 3 RepliesI have a very simple php script that I'm using to check and set a cookie. I'm running this script from a Flash file, but it's not working properly. If I enter the direct URL to the php file in my browser, it works perfectly. However, if I access it through Flash it doesn't seem to recognise that the cookie has been set.
Here is my php code:
<?
$expiry = date("U", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") + 1, date("y")));

Is it possible to read first party cookies from flash?It should be noted that we have complete access to javascript via the ExternalInterface class.So, now the question is - can we access first party cookie from javascript? Our javascript code will be loaded by a website which is not hosted by us. This makes the cookies created by that website - first party cookies. How can we access these "first" party cookies?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a flash swf file that will store a token in Local Shared Object. What do I need to do to read that token and look it up in the database on the back end? Is this possible at all?
here is a possible scenario:
User visits my web page A token is generated on the server and stored in the database Token is then saved in LSO User leaves the site (maybe shuts down his computer) and comes back later Token is read, located in the database and the user is recognized (lets say that token is a foreign key that links to other user data stored in the db)
I researched this for quite a while and all I find is that flash can use LSO to store read data for flash movie... Does this mean that the data can not be accessed by the server?
A couple questions about Macromedia Projector for flash 8 (this is going to be a windows .exe file or contained in a shell). I am creating a Flash intro outlining new features for software solution. The intro will launch and then will launch the full software. Client wants two buttons in the .exe. 1 to enable the user to "skip" the movie which will then launch the client's software. The other button will say "do not show this intro again". Kind of like when you open Flash for the first time and it shows the "tutorial and what's new" window. The in-house developer was saying something about the Windows registry, and outputting a "cookie-like" file when the user clicks "do not show this again" so that the file will not run when the software is executed again.
