ActionScript 3.0 :: Cannot Receive Or Send Data When Online - Security?
Jun 24, 2010
I have made a game that sends and recevies data from an online leaderboard. It uses PHP and mySQL, and all works fine when running the .swf off my computer. The problem is, when the game is uploaded and running online, it fails to both receive and send the data to the leaderboard. I don't know why! When I first ran the game offline, a security box appeared that told me I had to allow it to access the server. So, I'm thinking it might be a security problem. Is there a similar security setting that I have to enable on the server somewhere? Or some code I can put to the game to override it? Note that everything is on the same server at the moment so I dont need any of that CrossDomain stuff, I think.
i have a project which is is a desktop application in .Net, and from .Net 3 String value is Passed to Flash. My question is how to receive data coming from the desktop application in flash as3? because here i don't have any URL to load data.
myVars.sendAndLoad("[URL]", myVars_received, "POST"); So I can't see anything inside the text field, I can't even trace it.. it says undefined in 20px caps.
I am attempting to connect to a python twisted socket server with Flash using XMLSocket. The connect works fine, and so does the receive. However I can't send data to the server. Is there a specific format I should be using? The reason I ask is because I couldn't read any data with the XMLSocket until the data was in the form "something", that is, the data string had to be valid xml followed by the null character. Is there a trick to sending data?
I don't think this a cross site security problem, because if it was, I believe I wouldn't be able to connect or receive. I am able to connect to the server using telnet and a java client without issues. EDIT: I figured it out, the problem was my server needed to have the data sent to it end with"
i am using flash cs5 with AS3 along with PHP 5, i am calling a https page and sending post data to it and retreiving the response, its working fine inside action script (FLASH CS5 IDE) but when i am embedded flash in html to use it from my web server (WAMP) then it is unable to send and receive data from https url.
i have turned on the mod_ssl module from php.ini for both php and apache.
but still there is no gain. can you advice me any method to control this thing with in action script 3, (i tried php curl but not useful) or the right way to do it, i want to post and receive data from https url from action script or php.
I'm writing a Comet-like app using Flex on the client and my own hand-written server.
I need to be able to send short bursts of data from the client at quite a high frequency (e.g. of the order of 10ms between sends).
I also need the server to push short bursts of data at a similarly high frequency.
I'm using NetConnection.call() to send the data to the server, and URLStream (with chunked encoding) to push the data from the server to the client.
What I've found is that the data isn't being sent/received as soon as it's available. For example, in IE, it seems the data is sent every 200ms rather than as soon as NetConnection.call() is called. Similarly, URLStream isn't making the data available as soon as the server is sending it.
Judging by the difference in behaviour between the browsers, it seems as though the Flash Player (version 10) is relying on the host browser to do all the comms. Can anyone confirm this? Update: This is very likely as only the host browser would know about the proxy settings that might be set.
I've tried using the Socket class and there's no problem with speed there: it works perfectly. However, I'd like to be able to use HTTP-based (port 80) connections so that my app can run in heavily fire-walled environments (I tried using a Socket over port 80, but that has its problems).
Incidentally, all development/testing has been done on an internal LAN, so bandwidth/latency is not an issue.
Update: The data being sent/received is in small packets and doesn't need to be in any particular format. For example, I might need to send a short array of Numbers, and this could either be encoded in AMF (e.g. via NetConnection.call()) or could be put into GET parameters (e.g. using sendToURL()). The main point of my question is really to see whether anyone else has experienced the same problem in calling NetConnection/URLStream frequently, and whether there is a workaround (it's also possible that the fault lies with my server code of course, rather than Flash).
i want to ask : how can i send data from flash to php using as3 and receive data from php using flash and another question : how can i upload files using as3
I'm working on an online editing website. how to receive the image after the user edit it (change colours, add text) in to my email (as a PDF, JPEG, PNG,...??)?
im newbie in send end recive UDP things..i need to send (maybe receive) some data from PHP web page to local software.this software can recive and send data via UDP 1987 port.is there a way to do? javascript activeX or flash library or somethingSoftware= VOIP SoftPhonePHP Web Page = CRMall I wanted was actually make a button to call and if possible recive length of the call
I know you can send all the variables using: url...Is there a way to do this but only send the variables I want to? Say I only wanted to send "user" and "pass" but not "content".
I am using as3 for some time now, but i have never tried to communicate with a server. I have to send some values to a server and also receive some values using HTTPS.I found some stuff about HTTP, i havn't tried them yet. I hope this is not too difficult because it has to be figured out by Monday.
I'm trying to create a file that shows data from a database depending on an id number the user inputs in Flash. I am having trouble sending to PHP the id so it sends back the appropriate data from the db.
This is the AS3 code that tries to send the value of the idNumber to PHP[code]...
Ok so I can send and receive XML nodes from the socket server I need to know how to take the nodes and the values within them.... like for example I want the X Y positions from the node sent to me from the server "<playerpos name="javageek1212" X="34" Y="23" />" Basically I want the values from within that node ok?
Any example of a telnet/chat or other console like FLEX application where you can use the same TextArea as input/ouput area. I've been trying to modify the app at: [URL] but so far, computer says no. All the implementations I've seen use a combination of TextInput and TextArea.
The challenge is that we'll be using this app to telnet into some old routers and we'll need to do a fair amount of copy/pasting. Based on what I've seen, it seems that I would need to point the mouse into the TextInput in order to be able to right click and paste, which is not very sleak.....
Given the nearly plain-text nature of Flash, from a security standpoint, we must assume that your SWF can be decompiled into human readable format. That said, how can we ensure the validity of any online calls? For example, recording a high score might make a call similar to this:
Code: var url:String = "http://someserver.com/tracker/scoreTable.aspx?mode=record&score=" + _userScore + "&checksum=" + MD5.hash( /* stuff */); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( ); loader.load( new URLRequest( url ) );
You can do all the MD5 hash checking to make sure the data received matches what was sent, but how can you verify the validity of the call? For instance, one could decompile the SWF and figure out how to build the query string manually, or they could reverse engineer it from monitoring the internet calls from the SWF itself. They could even use a run-time memory editor to change the figures that store the information while playing the game, so that when the recordHighScore call is made, it sends 1,000,000 instead of 1,000. How does one authoritatively validate data and protect against abuse?
I want to resize a image using flash resizer.java script browse and upload a image and send to flash resizer and flash resizer resize the image and send back to javascript.Is it possible to send and receive image from javascript and if yes then please let me know what I need to do on flash end and how i can make javascript accessible to my flash code.do i need to load my full sourse code or javascript done there job with SWF only.

I am recording a video and while recording I issue some NetStream.send("doSomething", params) commands from client side. When I am playing back this video I receive the doSomething events on client side. No problems so far.Can I receive those events on server side? I want to handle those events on server side. Not client side.
I have combobox in frame 2. how can I receive the selected "string"data when I go in frame 3? I thing it can't do that. Must I store data in class and I read then when I go in frame 3.
