When requesting data with:
<param value="data-file=http://url-to-my/json.script" name="flashvars">
via an SWF file, what request type would "http://url-to-my/json.script" receive. It doesn't seem to be a "xmlhttprequest". Is it the same as a request from a browser?

View 2 Repliesdeveloping an e-card system in AC2. The system mainly consists of two flash movies and is supported by PHP scripts and a mysql database for data storage.The first part is the create/edit screen where the users can upload a photo, mask any desired area and apply some simple transformations such as size, rotation, brightness. They can also select a card (an animated flash movie) and preview the animation and finally type a message for the recipient.The other part is the result screen where the finalised card is presented and the user can then email a link to it to other people or grab some code to embed it on another site. The link will point exactly to this page. An example of the embed code is the following:
Code:
<div style="width:444px">
<object width="444" height="493">

I'm using the data/services in Flash Builder 4 to access the php functions of a site within an Air based Crud, and figuring out the most efficient ways to work with the data objects that come back.
[Code]...
The data comes back as an associative array, which is fine if I want everything from it to be treated the same. But I'm not sure how I am supposed to pull a particular column from the array without having to go through a for loop to parse through it.. since right now the contact name would be at allContacts[i].name.
Basically I want to make a list of the names from the allContacts, so I want an array of allContacts[i].name to set as the data provider for a element. Is there any way to get that done without having to write a for loop to convert it into a new array or writing a new php function?
I am writing an application in Flash Builder 4.5. I am also writing a PHP Web service to access data from our MySQL database. This Web service will be made available to third party clients for them to develop applications to access our database as well, via SOAP.
Is there a big performance difference between connecting to the service in Flash Builder via connecting directly to the PHP file vs. connecting to a Web Service via SOAP?I would kind of like to connect to this service the same way that our clients will, to make sure things stay as uncomplicated as possible for future development, but performance is my main priority.
I was using the serializing approach between Flash and PHP for the longest time before AMFPHP had its 1.0 release (wow...that was a long time ago...in 2006)!Serializing using a sepiroth's AS library paired with PHP's built in serializing functions worked and I didn't change it because it did the job.
Should I switch over to the AMF format and technology? One pro is that the data exchange is probably more efficient for AMF because it's a binary format.I've also see other scripting languages/frameworks such as Python/Django, Ruby/Rails supporting AMF. I guess AMF is also a standard format. Does each language serialize data differently?
I wrote an app using adobe flash builder that makes an http data service call to a website.
When I build and launch the app it loads in my browser (the address in the broswer is C:Userspath omyapp.html) and works perfectly. However, when I upload the app to my website or even launch it from outside the project build directory, the HTTP service call fails with the popup
Security error accessing url
Destination: DefaultHTTP
Of course I googled this error and realized it may have something to do with a 'crossdomain.xml' in my web root directory. I tried this and it continued to fail.
Below was my crossite domain file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.my_domain_for_http_service.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>
I'm using the free trial version of Adobe flash builder, but I do not see anything indicating that this has to do with the error.
Data from http service call is in xml format.
i Need to make sure that the Flash movie stops requesting the XML file once it has it. when a part of the xml is not defined it keeps requesting the xml file. i need it to cycle through but when something is undefined to stop trying to read the xml for the text or picture. so when i leave the home page open too long it kills the browser memory and crashes it.
View 3 RepliesI have a Flash Web site for a small literary journal and am trying to switch over to my hosting service's mailing list manager for sending out newsletters. I see the HTML code for setting this up (available from my host), but do not know how to get it to work in my Flash site. (I did not build the site and know very little about Flash...I'm learning as I go in order to do updates.) It looks like the site currenly links to a PHP file to allow for sign ups to our newsletter. Can anyone tell me h how to get the HTML code to work on my site?
View 2 RepliesOccasionally I listen to online audio from a variety of sources with no problem. ccasionally when I try to do that I get a message (or a button) to download Flash 8.0.0. I have done that several times. Once the app is installed (as far as I know it is), I may then click on that audio file and up comes that same message/button again to d/l Flash 8.0.0. If I try to find Flash on my system, it is somehow not clear to me what I've found.
Let me try right now and see what comes up (I'll summarize): Using Spotlight my "Top Hit" says "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager." When I open that it gives me choices of Quit or Uninstall, but no version number. And if Flash 8 or later is indeed installed, how do I know where it is? (It may indeed be a plug-in somewhere but?) I also have here and there about 6 or 7 Flash-labeled folders. One for example in Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS4/Samples. One more in my Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder (though I use no Macromedia apps). Now let me check my plug-ins for (latest) Safari: There's a Shockwave Flash. There is this: "Verified Download Plugin from file VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin, but no further info. I also have Click to Flash 1.5.5.
I have a Flash object hosted on foo.com. When I run it, I want it to send a HTTP request to foo.com, and retrieve the results along with HTTP headers.
How would one achieve this with Flash? (AS 3)
I have an html file and I'm using swfobject 2.2 to embed a flash file into the html file. This flash file is getting data from a web service, so it is trying to communicate with an "Internet-enabled location". I know and have read a lot about peolpe having trouble with this kind of problem, but I can't seem to find a solution for it. After this dialog box pops up I add the actual swf file and my project folder which is in wwwroot to the trusted location settings. This works fine, but only when I use the absolute file path in my browser.

I need to access the database using web service through CS3 i have tried accessing the database using Asp.Net page and it successed when i change just the URL of the Asp page and replace it with the web service URL it reports to me the follwoing error: Error opening [URL] Load failed: HTTP Status = 500 Load failed: IO error: Error #2032: Stream Error. [URL]
and this error elimnates when i request the web service and not sending data in the URL as i send SQL query through URLVariable as follows: var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();variables.SQLQuery = "select * from Employee"; this code working with the .aspx page but when i use the web service it reports the previous error inspite the code written in web service is the same in the .aspx page.where in the web service i call a function in the constructor of the web service and this function gets the data from URL and then execute it as follows : if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["SQLQuery"] != null)
I am bussy with a Flex Project with a data services. Flash builder installed Zend Framework with Zend_Amf.
When i run the project i get the error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed. With chalers i say that Zend_Amf give the error: AMF data is incomplete (0 bytes of 0 bytes). Please check the recording limits in the Recording Settings.

I'm trying to read json data from a web service. The problem is that it seems URLLoader always return the data as XML so I can't decode the json string.
This is my code :
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(<asmx, web service path>);
myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[code]....
not surprisingly i get an error on the json decode because as far as i can see using trace, i get xml data.Also i tried to run it on the browser, didn't help. Also tried to set the content type in the request to 'application/json', but it gave me an error.Even though i googled it, i couldn't fint what is the problem in my as3 code. It seems to me it should have worked.
Recently started to learn Flex technology to create RIAs. And now I want to create web based application of my created program in C++ builder. (flight info sys)
I liked the Flex because of it's cross platform and animation rich possibilities. One of the best web applications that i faced with in the inet is [URL] it has wonderful animating grid possibilities. Its server technology is in Java. How about converting this data service to PHP? That should read data from mysql in PHP.. I prefer working with PHP (as data service) and MySql (as rdbms) in Flex...
seeing animated grid is so cool :)) Switch to Grid mode!
Is it possible to convert it's Data service to php?
All the web services tutorials I have reviewed always demonstrate how to setup the WebServicesConnector and bound to other input components on the stage (like the textinput component). I want to bind from a variable value in my Flash movie (ie; _level0.set_zone ) to somewheres in my WebServicesConnector. How can I set this up within my binding bound to value field?

I have been working on a flex application with java, as i have used Life Cycle Data Service for communication, i wana know, is there any function of flex, where i can see the loading status in percentage, that how much record is being loaded.Problem is, if there is lengthy record, no body comes to know, whats happening with software, like in Comboboxes or Grids, users usually think it as a BUG in application, but ofcourse it is not.I need such graphical loader, which keeps on loading with proper status in percentage, until it receives all data from JAVA (SQL Server).

I am writing a small flex application that will, eventually, call PHP services to perform its work. In the meantime, however, I would like to have it use local data in XML form to allow me to develop the Flex part independently of the data service.
What is the best way to do this? I want to emulate a service like this:

And invoke the service using issuerService.send(), populating my results as expected. How do I do this as though it were a RemoteObject instead, but keep my data local?
i am trying to add a web service in flex 4. This web service is deployed in share point 2010 in the intranet . I am able to see this wsdl file through browser but trying to introspect the service is giving an authentication error. I am getting the following error :-
There was an error during service introspection.
WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Unable to resolve imported document at 'http://sql2008:47672/_vti_bin/StoryboardingDatabaseConnect.asmx?WSDL'.: java.io.IOException: Authentication failure
I have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;
I found at this Adobe tutorial a nice "RemoteService" class that creates a RemoteObject and contains the functions for handling the result and fault events. If I wanted to use this approach, how could I pass the data from the result handler to interfaces that modules from the main application could use?
I could put the RemoteService/RemoteObject in the modules, but (in my opinion- and I could be wrong) the best design seems to be using the remote calls in the main app and passing the data along to the modules.

I am experiencing a strange problem when I want to bind a service to a button or something else:
[Code]...
I can add the services to the Data Services panel but I have two strange things:
1) when I want to configure the return type he doesn't let me create a new ValueObject type, I only get the bottom datagrid which states: Properties returned by the operation: Property: country_Id, provence_Id, city_Id, id_cdpc, district_Id with the related values on the right side. Why can't I create a new data type on the top?
2) When I accept this and want to add the service call to a button (drag&drop) I get the following error: Error occurred while generating code. Make sure that there are no compiler eroors and try again after reopening the file. Componentn type services.cdpc.CDPC not found... (ps: When I perform a Test Operation everything seems to be ok, I get the expected output values)
