I would like to create a secure login section for a website. I have managed to build up an AS3-PHP communication where PHP checks user credentials. I am already providing data enchryption between AS3 and PHP but I would like to add some further security. Is it possible to implement a HTTPS login section?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to build a secure login area on a Flash-AS3 website. I've managed to create the login form and pass data to a PHP script which checks them.
1) I know that in PHP I can echo some infos that can be get from AS3. In this case I suppose to echo something like "success" or "failed" to give an answer to the login attempt. Is this way of communication secure? Can anybody sniff this content and force AS3 to behave like if login was successful?
2) Suppose that PHP-AS3 communication has been secured. What should I do now? May I simply show admin pages hidden before? Is it the correct way? Is it secure?

I have no idea how I would create a login section in a flash website. Does this login section have anything to do with creating a database?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a secure login using flash. I worked out that the login must be separate from the protected content otherwise a decompiler will get round it very quickly. At the moment I have a login swf that posts variables to a server side script which then creates a session for a valid user.
The idea is to then forward on to the protected content. However I am unsure how to pass the users info to the swf so a user could not modify before the swf gets it and thus see another members content or what I can do to stop someone just accessing the content directly by just knowing the swf file's location.
I 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 SWF hosted on a https enabled domain and amfphp installation on the same domain. Now when i let user embed the swf on his on http page, i intend to send some data to amfphp without user seeing it. However i see that firefox with firebug plugin catches the post data easily. How is this happening ? Adobe documents say that if a swf is hosted in https and destination is also under https, its suppose to be secure?
View 4 Repliesam 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.
View 2 RepliesI have an AIR app in AS3 that connects to an online database, checks the login details for the user account, and logs in if all is good. Once logged in, the user can update database info, plus overwrite files in their user directory. So far it's working fine.
Problem is, I've only got it set up to send the raw login data. Once the php receieves it, it's hashed to check the hashed version in the database, but is there a way to hash and then unhash a password sent from an AIR app? Or a way to use https?
Also, regarding sessions, if you have a seesion in a browser, the session closes automatically when the browser closes, right? So how do you make a session close that you've opened via an Air app? I guess you could trigger a close from certain actions within the app, + when the app closes, but say the app crashes, or the computer crashes - will your session still be floating around out there open?
I was wondering what the best route to take for making a login. The idea is to have the user login with their username and pass on frame 1. If the username and pass exist in the MySQL database then the user will be moved to frame 2. What would be the best way of achieving this? I know AMFPHP is old and I have heard to use ZENDAMF instead, but it seems that any recommendations are 2+ years old when I searched Google.

View 4 Repliesi recently had a look to the tutorial for custom authentication within a flex application. The login is managed by getting the ChannelSet from a RemoteObject:
private function creationCompleteHandler():void {
if (cs == null)
cs = ServerConfig.getChannelSet(remoteObject.destination);
[Code]....
After that the channlset can be used with the login command of ChannelSet. How can i insure that this is using a secure connection? I know that there is a amf channel and a secure amf channel. But how to tell to provide the credentials in a secure connection?
I am having a problem with sendAndLoad on a secure site. Has anyone run across this before? In Internet Explorer it does not work at all. The Flash forms are sending data to PHP scripts on the secure site (https) and connecting to a MySQL database. If I change it to a non-secure site (http) it works fine.
Using Php file i m able to save all data but didnt get response back to flash file using [ result="OK" ] OR also i have tried replyXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
but always it become fail.
How would one secure information transfered between the flash player and the website?
View 1 RepliesI am going to redesign a website and for that website I want there to be a news section on the homepage. The news section should be built in Flash with images representing news headlines animating on a loop however a user should be able to click one of these images and then within the homepage a Flash pop up will appear with the news article. This is similar to sites that have an image gallery with thumbnails of images but when an thumbnail is clicked then the full size image loads within the same webpage. I want a similar effect but in my case, when a full size image is clicked, a text based news article loads.

I am trying to create a simple login page, once the user has logged in successfully they will be taken to another site which contains their photos. I have created the login page already, it has a Username and password plus the Submit button. I guess 2 things need to happen here:
1. I would like to be able to access an xml document which contains the Username and Password in order to validate the details.
2. Upon successful validation, the user is directed to another page which contains their gallery, I guess I need to add a navigateToURL here in actionscript where the URL is passed from the XML file to the code (the URL needs to come from an the same XML file, if possible).
I am trying to design this site so I don't need to keep accessing the actionscript in flash to add user details and URL links.
I'm having an issue with the UiLoader, I think. I am using a UiLoader to show the portfolio section of my website. When I click on portfolio there is nothing there. Brought UiLoader to stage from the component panel> in the component inspector I set the source to Portfolio.swf> Test movie> it works great. In dreamweaver I draged the swf from the folder panel and placed it in a table> uploaded it to the site> go to the site, and there is no portfolio section. See the site here -> [URL]. I noticed when I made changes and uploaded to the web then went to the site I have to delete internet history files to get the swf to reload. What do I do about that? Off the top of my head I thought about changing the swf name everytime I make any changes, but I'm sure there is another way.

I came to realize that in order to get some of the effects to happen I'd need a way to know all of the current MovieClips being used in a given section of the web site. I figure the best way to do this is to create a Class for it and let it handle registering the clips. The functionality is pretty basic with the Class able to register a MovieClip and return all the MovieClips being used up until a given point in time or access a single MovieClip.
Unfortunately I don't really know how to implement this idea. I've pulled it off using index numbers but that wasn't for MovieClips. For this I'd like to be able to access any MovieClip that has been registered already by a name, like a String maybe.
We are planning a desktop client application with Adobe AIR. The client app will be delivered to our customers with a database, which contains monthly updated marketing data provided by our company. As different customers will buy different sets of data from us, for example, a customer is only interested in marketing data in a specific product category, while another customer need all data in a certain region. After a customer installs this client app, new data will be emailed to the customer every month.
So, the requirement is to keep the data accessible only by the customer who bought it. After reading through AIR's secure local store and database encryption feature, I came up with the following design: each customer will have his own secret key (stored in AIR's secure local store), the secret key is used to encrypt the data that the customer has purchased. Of course, the monthly data that we sent to the customer will be encrypted using the same secret key. So my questions are: is AIR's database encryption and secure local store secure enough for this use case? If someone gets the encrypted database file, can he decrypt the DB?
what I want to do is from my application, login to a website and retrieve information from my login and populate the relative fields on my screen, be able to make a change on my app screen then upload the changes to the website. To be able to make changes from an app would be a great help and save a lot of time rather than constantly logging into the website through a browser.
I've searched a lot on google regarding logging into websites but haven't had much luck in finding something I can use. It seems like a simple idea but it's obviously not something people use often.

View 2 RepliesI have a need to build a flash login page. No big deal, but I need to have six seperate login accounts. For example:
Username: user1 Password: pass = link to [URL]
Username: user2 Password: pass = link to [URL]
Username: user3 Password: pass = link to [URL]
and so on for up to six users.
Again the usernames and passwords would not change, but need to redirect the particular user to a certain page.
stop();
var user_input = "";
var pass_input = "";
login_button.onRelease = function(){
if(user_input == "user1"
&& pass_input == "pass"){
getURL([URL], "GET");
}else{
gotoAndStop (3);
}}
how I could create a login script that would save all users, passwords, and theyre data(scores, play time, etc) to an XML file. I am very new to XML and cant seem to find anything about this on the internet. I plan on saving this XML file on my website and having the swf load it from the website.
