So I'm working on a as3 site that allows for users to signup/login, and I'm torn between using cookies vs SharedObjects to remember login info, I've been googling about it and I find a lot of people are super paranoid about LSOs, so maybe I should just go the regular cookie route?

I've installed developer version of Flash Media Server 4.5 and trying to get remote object, but no matter how I call my object all i get is this error .I've rad configuration guide and it told me that I should set StorageDir for shared objects, enable RPC (<RPC enabled="true">) and allow shared object (<Allow>users</Allow> in <RPC> - <SharedObject> tags)

I have an error in my program that has to do with cookies. My app makes a call to a PHP script but since the cookies don't exist yet, the script returns an empty file. I found a messy workaround that appears to work by using this code to pre-call my PHP script before I call it a second time[code]...
View 3 RepliesFor a site I'm developing with a user login that uses cookies to store the session ID, a separate section of it uses Flash to provide content and such. Is there some way it can access the cookies that were set the by login? The name of the cookie will not the be same every time, as it is randomly generated, as well as its value. I then need to send the name and value of the cookie back to a page on the server to do additional stuff. Anyone know how to do this? Note that I didn't write the Flash interface, an the person who did doesn't know how to do this.

I have a swf that connects to a server through an as file, which appears to be holding some variables in memory or something so that it works fine the first time it loads, but when I load the page again, either the browser or the player is not clearing out the previous values. I don't know if there is a way to make sure that the swf when it loads makes sure not to keep the values held in the cache. It actually appears that the only way around my problem is to clear the cookies for my site and then reload.url...

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get data from a website, but first I need to log in to the site using java. The script worked until now, but now the site installed an anti bot system. Until now the procedure was simple, I've created a HttpStreamWriter and submitted my details to the login.php page, then get the cookies and later, when I want to get data from the site, I resubmit the cookie from the login.php page, but now there is a problem: an anti bot system: I'm not sure, but I think this is the system: [URL] The anti bot system creates a cookie, called anti-bot and I can't access the page without that cookie, the problem is that the cookie is generated by a flash application only after the page loads so I can't get the cookie from the page?

View 1 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble in sending cookies through flash (.swf file). Is there a way to always allow the referrer to be shown? At the moment it appears only to show in Internet Explorer, but not in any other browsers.
View 2 RepliesI have a a little project I am working on and I need to implement the use of cookies so the swf knows which frame to go to when the specific page is loaded based on the last state of the flash file.
So for example if I was to visit the page and clicked on a button and then navigated away from the page and loaded the page again, I want the swf to remain at the state I left it and not reset itself from the starting.
Below is my action script and under that is the cookie code to be implemented
Main Action Script
Code: Select allimport flash.events.MouseEvent;
var buttons:Array=[mcSection1, mcSection2.btn1,mcSection2.btn2,mcSection2.btn3,mcSection2.btn4, mcSection3.btn1, mcSection3.btn2, mcSection4.btn1];
var frames:Array=[33,51,68,85,102,119,137,155];

So I did the tutorial about SharedObjects, and I created a login movie which works fine.
My questions are as follows: Can i use a shared object I created in one movie (call it "mycookie") in a separate movie on another page, similar to an HTML cookie? If so, what is the syntax?
I tried reusing the mycookie = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile")and it didn't seem to work. =(
Also, I know that alternatively I can pass flash variables to the URL with the POST method, but I forget the syntax. Time is of the essence here (project due tomorrow) so I'd really like some help if somebody knows the answer..
me and and a friend are working on an application for the PSP in Flash 6. And we're looking for a code to save variables. We tried everything, can someone post a clear tutorial! The function, and the Javascript part, us ASAP Edit: is it possible to save the cookies to a textbox in HTML?

View 1 RepliesAdobe is, in my opinion, intentionally deceptive on a number of levels about the privacy-invading cookies that Flash stores on your machine. These are NOT the cookies that get deleted when you clear your browser cache. These cookies remain on your machine until you MANUALLY DELETE THEM. And Adobe know that most users are not technically proficient enough to even find where they exist.There is a good site that describes how to get rid of them here: [URL]

I'm trying to find a javascript method to delete flash cookies on a page, but with no luck.I know it can be obviously done through flash or flex, but the problem is I know nothing about flash, flex and actionscripts...So my question is: Is there a way to just load a prebuilt flash movie in a page, which just programmatically deletes all the flash cookies it finds?I could find some actionscript code around the internet and didn't look complex, but I don't know how to use it

This works well, but now I'd like to extend the user.php, so that players can add comments about each other. For authorization I'd like to use HTTP cookies, passed from the game.swf to the user.php. (I don't want use GET or POST here, because GET will have the auth. variables in the URL and players might occasionaly send that URL around or post it in my forum. And POST will ask to re-post the request when you reload).
GI have a problem where a flash player, when run through firefox, is not including the HTTP cookies. These are included when run through internet explorer.
I want to know if anyone knows how to force flash to include cookies when communicating with a flash server?
We have a flash recorder which connects to a red5 server. These connections are opened through a load balancer which offers a pool address. There are multiple servers in the pool.
The recorder sends data using the RTMPT protocol. This sends the RMTP over HTTP (this allows firewall traversal). To ensure data arrives at the correct server we used cookie based load balancing. If a certain cookie is present the load balancer directs the connection to the correct server.
This cookie is set when the user logs into the site through thier web browser. The flash player then includes these cookies in the RTMTP HTTP requests when communicating with the server. This ensures the RMTPT connection is opened to the correct server.[code]...
I'm running a selenium script that tests an authenticated application.
The application uses a flash cookie to know if a user is authenticated to the site. Mid-script I need to delete the flash cookie.

We use PHPUnit/Selenium if that helps.
I made a flash cookie[code]...
my question is how can i use Java Script to read the flash cookie?
I have a Flash game in one html page, and then I have an html link ("next" button) in another page that will direct the user to the page that contains the Flash game. What I need to do, is to have the "next" button, tell a MC within the Flash game to go to the second frame, and save it as a cookie so it will be at the second frame whenever the user returns to that page with the Flash game. The MC is basically a button and the second frame grays out to show completion. Clicking the "next" button on the previous page verifies that the user has reached the end of that section, which should then trigger the MC in the Flash Game to gray out. I want to set it as a cookie so the user can keep track of their progress.
Anyway, my original thought was to use the Flash External Interface to allow the html "next" button to communicate via JS to the Flash movie, and to use Local Shared Object to set the cookie. Well, I have been trying to employ several of these tactics with no success. :-( I am currently working on a Mac, and need something that works in Firefox on both Mac and PC, and IE for PC.

There's no access to the HTTP cookies from within a Flash movie, but I now have repeatedly read that Flash Player is supposed to take care of session cookies automatically. I could, however, not find any documentation about this, and it sure didn't work with my Flex client running against a Struts backend using the default JSESSIONID cookie.
