ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Preventing TextField From Getting Mouse Attention?

May 21, 2010

I want to have a Sprite with an child TextField, but without the textfield triggering or preventing any mouseover events from its parent.

An example would be a world map where each country has a label with its name. For smaller countries, the label would naturally exceed the country's borders. However, the label should not get in the way of mousing over whatever is beneath it (i.e. neighbouring countries).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preventing TextField To Scale Automatically

Dec 9, 2009

I've got a text field that is deep down in a hierarchy of DisplayObjects. The root object is scaled by a variable factor.I want the text field to display it's text in a specific font size, but the text field scales because it's a child of the scaled root object. Is there any possibility to prevent this? I didn't find something in the Adobe documentation.

Actionscript 3 :: Catch MOUSE-UP Event Over A Static Textfield In Flash?

May 7, 2010

When the user presses the mouse, and releases it over a static textfield with selectable text, no MOUSE_UP event is fired - not on the stage and also nowhere else.I experienced this when using a scrollbar class on a movieclip with a nested static textfield.When the user drags the scroll handle and releases the mouse over the textfield, the dragging/scrolling is stuck.To test this, create a new AS3 fla file, place a static textfield somewhere, and put in some text. Make sure the selectable property is checked in the properties panel.Add this script to the timeline:[code]Now test the movie and click the mouse. You will notice that trace('up') will not occur when you release the mouse over the textfield.

IDE :: Preventing Flash Player Caching

Sep 8, 2009

edit: Resolved; my ActionScript function for parsing the mySQL results didn't correctly interpret a recently modified column, and the corrupted new output happened to be identical to the old output.

I have created an application that accesses a PHP/mySQL database, but it caches old information.

I used the workaround from Adobe's website, where I append '+ new Date().getTime()' to the URLRequest String, but the application continues to use the old data.

When I trace the URLRequest String and C&P it into a browser window, however, I receive the correct data.

Flash :: TLF Text Is Preventing OnMouseOver Event?

Jul 8, 2011

Basically I have some TLF text as a symbol, it's read only, the font is embedded and I set mouseEnabled to false. It's sitting as a graphic, on top of a button. When I mouse over the text, or the area where the text would be, it prevents the button from receiving the on mouse over event. Using classic, dynamic text, this route normally works just fine. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Professional :: Preventing Remote Url File Reads In Flash?

Oct 29, 2010

We have a Flash application provided by a vendor. It reads its parameters from an xml file on our web server's file system. However, it can also be spoofed to read its parameters from an xml file sitting on another domain's web server. At first we thought crossdomain.xml might be able to fix this, but we've researched it and understand the purpose of crossdomain.xml. It won't solve this issue.Are there any ways of enforcing that a Flash application reads its input file only from the same server where the Flash application was served? Or is the recommendation just to initialize variables within the Flash app, not relying on an external file.

Flash :: Preventing A Swf From Invoking ExternalInterface Calls Without Recompiling It?

Apr 16, 2011

I'm working with a third party swf that I cannot change and am charged with making it work in a local environment, loaded within a container application I have built. The SWF was published for accessing the network sandbox, so whenever it invokes the ExternalInterface in a local html container, it throws a security sandbox error and kills execution. The ExternalInterface calls are all non-critical (logging) so if I can block them somehow, then I won't have a problem any more.

.htaccess - Flash Menu Preventing Site Navigation When Accessing Url With Out Www

Feb 11, 2011

Client has a flash navigation menu on his website. When the site is accessed via [URL] the hardcoded links in the flash nav load pages properly. When accessing the website via the [url] the site navigation links can not load the proper pages and instead just redirect the user to the root domain.

I assume this can be fixed with a change to the .htaccess but I do not know how flash handles these links.

.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks

Flash - Flex 3: Preventing Keyboard Events From Reaching A Sprite?

Feb 9, 2012

I'm working on a Flex 3 app, implemented in Actionscript 3 and MXML, that includes an embedded video player, which is essentially a black box--I load it as a SWF from another site on demand, and I don't have access to its source code. It does, however, inherit from Sprite.The problem is that, when focus is on the Flash app, the video player is somehow receiving and processing keyboard events, even when the player itself isn't in focus.So when users are typing text elsewhere in the GUI, if they hit the space bar, the video pauses.

I've tried intercepting key events in the Sprite's parent, and setting tabEnabled = false, tabChildren = false, and buttonMode = false on the Sprite, but nothing seems to work. It's as if the Sprite is getting keystrokes through an alternate Event path.how I can prevent the player from receiving keyboard events or input events entirely? It's fine with me if no input events reach the player, since I've implemented my own,separate video controls.

Flex :: Preventing Cross Site Scripting Attack On Flash Container Pages

Jun 2, 2011

I have a website with a flex application. The flex application has no user input - except for clicks for navigation. The website also uses no scripting language - i.e. no php, asp, jsp or cfm.

The website just consists of one page which contains the flash file for the flex application. The source code of this page is here: [URL]

I have been advised (by a software program used by my client) that this website is vulnerable to a reflective type XSS attack and have been advised to 'sanitize' all user input.

respect to XSS and would respectfully like to ask that AFAIK there is no user input. What should I sanitize and how?

Flash :: Textfield Embedded Font Only Adjusts According To Textfield Height?

Jun 14, 2011

i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?

I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
