ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching New Event Upon Sending Request To HTTPService
Jul 9, 2009
I've a Services class...which handles the HTTPService requests and responses and faults. Now I want to dispatch a new event whenever I send request to the server...so that I can take custom actions like showing some popup window or disabling certain components.
Here is my services class:
PHP Code:
package business{
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.managers.CursorManager;
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
[Code] .....
The method doRequest calls the HTTPServices send method...so in this method, I want to dispatch a new event and handle it in the main application...

I have an HTTPRequest in mxml that has an mx:request defined inside it. I use the info in the mxml request 99% of the time (I thought it was 100% until I found this bug). So I need to send the HTTPRequest with one of the items in the request different. I tried using the send() method and sending my own object, much like you would if no request was defined in the mxml, but it doesn't seem to override it.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this without re-writing every call to send this httpRequest?

send xml data to the server using HttpService request thr POST in Flex?
View 1 Replies
Apr 6, 2010
I have a flex app which allows user to create some content. this content will then be sent via xml back to the server:
private function saveBackXMLToServer():void {
var params:Object = {};
params["xml_file"] = XML_content();
http_Service.send(params);
}
My problem is, that the transport of the data this way is very slow... It takes about 20 sec for 10'000 lines of XML... How can this be done better?
I'm trying to follow all of your hints, but they don't seem to be simple to change. My code is done in a way that I can't get access to every Object, and save it. So what I do is to load the swf file with one xml, and return the whole xml after I run it. My guess is, that the time isn't spent on transporting those lines to the web server (this task gets done quickly normally), I thing that there happens something on the send function of the HTTPService that every object must get changed, before sending...
UPDATE2: I just realized that it is not a matter of the flex app it is a matter of the rails app. It receives a 700 KB String. I guess it is not done for handling such a object. How to transport it then? I tryed to work with the file upload but couldn't get it done... Error 2037 was occuring! I'll go on trying.

I need to send a HTTP request (and get XML response) from Flash that looks similar to following:
http://example.com/somepath?data=1&data=2&data=3
I.e. having several parameters that share same name, but have different values.
Until now I used following code to make HTTP requests:
var resp:XML = new XML();
resp.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {/*...*/};
resp.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code].....
But in that case I am loosing ability to do POST requests.

Running my Flash app from localhost (in debug) I can connect/contact the socket server just fine. Note: It doesn't seem as though the server detects any 843 connection (e.g. the policy file port) this way. However, when I move the app to the server itself and run it from there (i.e. from the website), it will send the policy file, get a disconnect (as it should), and then try to execute the regular port stuff but doesn't read anything from Flash. It seems like my Flash app isn't writing to the port as it should, or something else is going wrong. I did also notice that Flash seems to be trying to send the policy-file-request twice.My process right now is like this:
1) Flash tries to connect to port 843. The server responds to its <policy-file-request/> with the policy file.
2) Flash reads it, disconnects from 843
3) Server gets graceful disconnect, then gets another connection on 843.
4) Just after that, the server gets a connection on 2188, but reads another <policy-file-request/>, so sends the policy file again.
5) At this point, Flash SHOULD simply write the string "Test" to the socket (that's in my connect handler). However, my server doesn't seem to read anything on the socket after the second <policy-file-request/>.[code]

I have a problem with a flashpage I am developing. It sends a request to a database through a php-file and retrieve a text that I place in a textfield. The problem is that the swedish and other specialcharacters is shown in code format looking like this u00e4 . I know both my php-file and database is correct because I have used the same request with the same php-file and database in a android app and it works perfect.
PHP Code:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","db","psw");
if(!$con) {

am having this problem of sending XML request to an addresswhich starts with "https". The problem is I always get the errormessage "Error opening URL "https:......."", instead of the actualresponse which should be in XML format as well.The function I am using is "sendAndLoad()"requestXML and responseXML are objects of XML class . Whatfunction "sendAndLoad" above does is to post variables in the"requestXML" object to the specified URL "servelet_address". Theserver response is downloaded, parsed as variable data, and theresulting variables are placed in the responseXML object.However, as I stated above, I always get the error message.

I am using Flex 3 (ActionScript 3.0). I use the HTTP progressive download to play sound files. I want to secure the sound files, by only serving them when the request comes from my flex app. I chose the simplest solution of adding a HTTP header to each request send from the app. But flash.media.Sound object ignores the headers set in flash.net.URLRequest. Here's an example,
URLRequest sndFile = new URLRequest("http://blah.com/media/load_sound.php");
sndFile.requestHeaders = new Array(new URLRequestHeader("req-orgin", "myflexapp"));
Sound snd = new Sound(sndFile);
snd.play();
The value of req-origin comes as null in load_sound.php. When i inspect the request using Firebug, the request headers to [URL] doesn't contain the header.

I have two document classes. The main document class creates a empty movieClip and adds it to the stage in which the second document classes published swf is loaded into. The second document class has a button component on the stage in which once clicked just traces 'hello' to the output window.
What I want to do is upon clicking this button a Event is dispatched from the second document class, to the main document class. Now, I've Googled everything in this known world and have tried to implement examples to no avail. I'm really at a loss right now yet I stubbornly intend to keep banging my head against the problem. Below I have pasted both document classes minus the examples I've tried to implement thus far.

I´m making a game.This game has 4 frames.It has a preloader.swf and game.swf.The preloader.swf loads the game.swf.The game.swf has 4 frames.In the first frame is given to the user the options to play the game (clicking a button "playGame" on "click" event) and to set the sounds settings (clicking a button "options" on "click" event).So far so good.
When the user clicks "playGame" I send the user to frame 2, where it has the option to select a game level using the arrow keys. So within the playGameListener I registered two keyboard events one for KEY_UP and another for KEY_DOWN. So, to have sure that it´s working, I added a trace for each keyboard event listener. But I´m not getting any message in the output window while pressing
left arrow or right arrow or any arrow.
So I learned that KeyboardEvent only dispatches an event if the flash player has focus.Well I think the flash player has never losed focus in this process.I´ve registered two events for Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE and inside its listeners I added a trace with a message. Flash outputs me a message if I minimize the flash player window or if I maximize the flash player,but not while the game.swf´s frame transition.The listeners for the KeyboardEvent works only when I press at the flash player, then I receive the messages from the KeyboardEvent listeners.

I have two buttons each in its own sprite now I want to listen for mouse overmout and click event on both. In a way that if you roll over button1 its color changes but at the same time button2 color changes as well.
To be more specific lets suppose I have a graphic button like map picutre for a country like UK and then I have text button for UK as well. What I want now is that when user either scrolls over UK map the map button color changes but at the same time the color for UL text button changes as well. same goes for click and out events for the two.

I have a parent swf and eight child swfs. The child swfs are loaded into an array at runtime on the parent swf using a Loader. I have buttons and functions on and in the parent swf to change out the child swfs. This all works just fine but here is my issue. On each of the child swfs I have buttons that need to call the functions in the main swf to change out the child swfs. The program is an interactive virtual tour and I want to be able to click on a door and have the next room's swf displayed in the parent swf. I'm trying to do this by dispatching an event from the child swf
ActionScript Code:
mainPanorama.bedDoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchBedroom);
function dispatchBedroom(e:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadBedrooms"))
}
that needs to be heard by the parent swf and the appropriate function called.
ActionScript Code:
objectsArray.addEventListener("loadBedrooms", loadBedroom);
function loadBedroom(e:Event):void {
tourNum = 5;
unloadData(tourNum);
}
So far this specific code keeps telling me that addEventListener is not a function. I've tried quite a few variants of stage, this, and parent combinations in place of objectsArray but unfortunately something in the parent swf is not hearing the event dispatch.

Does flash dispatch any event just before it's closed?e.g. When the user closes the browser? searched the documentation and there's nothing. I thought the stage should dispatch an ventIf there isn't any can I make a custom one?

I'm working on a project and had a question related to another thread I recently posted earlier this week regarding an area I was a little stuck on..While I did manage to resolve most of my issue, there's still a piece of the puzzle that's missing. I basically have one main container swf that loads several external swfs into a MC and cycles through an array of external files. I have navigation buttons so the user can click next to proceed through all of the external content files. My goal here, is to not have the "next button" become active until after the external files are done playing, so they can't skip ahead.
I currently have this working by having the external swf dispatch an event (from its final keyframe) to the main swf telling the main swf it's done playing, and then activates the next button on completion. This works great; however, I can't seem to get it to dispatch this event on any of the sequential swfs -- it only does this for the first swf initially loaded. Is there a way to "reset" the event to detect the end of the other swfs and continue in this fashion? Or another possible solution so I can apply this to each external swf?Here is the code I have in the main container swf:
Code:
//Array of external swfs
var contentArray:Array = new Array("content1.swf", "content2.swf", "content3.swf");

Can anyone please explain me why the dispatched event is not captured in this code?
The idea here was to notify all instances of a class when you click on one of them

What I am trying to do is build some kind of Loader-SWF that loads several animations (swf-files) and then plays them back one after the other.
What I am struggling with at the moment is how to find out when the first animation has finished and then switch to the second one. Since the Loader-Object I use to load the swf doesn't seem to dispatch a suitable event I thought I'd just do the following on the last frame of the animations I am loading:
Code:
stage.dispatchEvent(new Event('nextClip'));
and then have this in my "Loader":
Code:
stage.addEventListener('nextClip',loadNextClip);
This works fine when I just have my first animation clip dispatch the Custom Event, but as soon as I add the code to all the other animations it will throw an 1009 error (referring to the last frame of the newly added animation) as there somehow seems to be some confusion regarding what "stage" is referring to now.

I'm just starting to build my first proper OOP piece.I have on stage two manually placed MCs.One is viewer_mc:ViewerClass and one is menu_mc:MenuClass.They each have their own class and there is a document class...
PHP Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]....
So I can call the public method of either class from the other class.However, I am now trying to understand custom events and dispatching them with parameters.which uses a custom event class.This works fine when the dispatchevent and listener are both in the viewer class, but when the dispatchevent is in the viewer class, and the listener is in the menu class I can't get it to work.I suppose for my purposes I don't really need to use the custom event class, I can just call the respective classes' public functions but I just wanted to try and understand how it works.Here's the pared down version of menu class...
PHP Code:
package classes {
import flash.display.*;
//some other imports[code].........

I am developing a project where ClassA creates the instances of ClassB , ClassC and ClassD and adds the eventsDispatcher with them. ClassB and ClassC are able to dispatch the events back to ClassA which is fine. But ClassD is not dispatching the event. It only dispatch the event only when I call the dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.Complete)) function after giving 1 Second delay.

I got a question about event dispatching in flex.my goal is to get a custom event loaded up with some data and than bubble up to the eventlistener. my main application has and AMF service request inside which calls an service class. that class is supposed to dispatch an event when the AMF service request returns a result or fault and the main application is listening for that event.so inside my mainapp i add and listener like this:[code]
However, this event never reaches the main application. Looking closely to it with the debugger, i found out that when the event is dispatched the listeners property of it is set to null.

I've written lots of hierarchical menus in AS2, am happy with XML, recursion and the Compound design pattern.owever, I'm about to built my first AS3 menu system, and what I want to know is where do people usually add their event listeners? Should I be adding them on each menu item, or just one on the whole menu system, and use event bubbling to capture and respond to clicks, rollouts, etc.
