ActionScript 3.0 :: Handling Communication Between Flash And Server-Side
Jul 19, 2011
Need to find a way for Flash to talk to an ASP.NET server-side script and save some product information directly from Flash into a customer shopping cart...but, how are people handling this communication between Flash and the server-side C#? I want my Flash .swf to browse products and add them to the cart from within' Flash securely. Currently people can browse / Sort the products, but how are people passing information to the Flash movie securely? How are people handling information like session variables? What are people using to use Flash as their only interface tool for logging in, or accessing their account information through a Flash interface?

I am having mainly 2 problems in Flash for some time and I need some clarifications on them.
1. Handling pages.
How do I handle working with pages in Flash? Do I create a frame for each page and place the content of the page in that frame and when needing to go to a page I simply go to it's frame? Or do I use ActionScript to put and remove content from the stage and create every page in this way? What I mean by this is: if a page has a menu and a picture, I use ActionScript to put the menu and the picture there. If the next page has some text and a button, I use ActionScript to remove the menu and the picture from the last page and put the text and the button from the new page.
The first method seems simpler but that means that if the page has some content that needs to be loaded (a picture, for example), this content will need to be loaded every single time the page is opened.
The second method requires more work but is it more efficient ? When I remove the content from the page, do I move it to a negative x and y so that it cannot be seen or do I remove it completely and just load it again the next time the page is opened?
2. Handling a flow communication with PHP.
I constantly need to communicate back and forth with PHP. I use a LoadVars variable to send data to PHP (using "POST") and I use an XML variable to retrieve data from PHP (I use the "sendAndLoad" method). The data sent by PHP is in an XML structure. The problem here is that I need to have different channels working. I need to receive several different types of data. Do I create a set of LoadVars and XML variables for each type of data that I need to receive or do I simply use only the one set and use an ID variable to specify with which type of data I am working at the moment ?

I want to create an application that has these features
- At client side: Display a list of images, when user click on one image, data will be stored in MySQL database.
- At server side: Manage images used in client side, I can delete, add new images.
Is this possible for me to achieve this using Flex? And if it is able, will my output be 2 separate SWF files? And where can I find the materials to read on writing such applications?

Below is the code. When the swf is connected to FMS(the connection is successful) I use this application.user_so.send("enterContestGroup"); to call the client side mothed. You can see that in the client side I have defined the "enterContestGroup" mothed. However the fact is it doesn't call that mothed. Can anybody tell me what the error is
application.onAppStart = function(){ application.user_so = SharedObject.get("user_so", false); application.nextId = 0;}application.onConnect = function(newClient) application.acceptConnection(newClient);

can you write and modify XML files using server-side Actionscript? I've been going through Adobe's Server-side Actionscript reference, reading up on the File class that lets you modify files on the server, and the server-side XML class that lets you read and 'understand' XML data, but can you put them together and essentially edit XML files on the server?

I can't use a proxy server. Can't use google app engine etc. I can't use server side code. No php or python. I need to be able to do logins to twitter and post status updates to twitter through an Actionscript 3 web application. The biggest thing is obviously getting around twitter's crossdomain. Is there a clean ajax version of this or something?

User interacts with Adobe flex webpage to configure reports based on some data stored server side. They configure their view and have THAT view emailed to them daily. I've got the report builder, the part I'm trying to figure out is how to render the report server side and send it out as email (native flex functionality? convert to html? take screenshot? assume something is running client side?...)

We're currently working on a small scale indie card game for Facebook, which we hope will reach hundreds of thousands of players (eventually). We have most of the issues figured out (scalability, server-side architecture, etc) - however one question - communication between client & server.
We have the following requirements:
Server side push messages (no client message request) High scalability (should support at first hundreds and later hopefully thousands of CCUs) Secure, reliable layer Work well with most computers, routers & browsers Works with Adobe Flash/AS3
First thing that came to mind was socket connections, but I was wondering, is there a better solution that answers our needs?

We're thinking about purchasing the Flash Media Streaming Server Edition and we have some doubts after looking this edition comparision: [URL]..
1.- It says the streaming edition doesn't have server side play list. Does it mean this version doesn't come with a native application for making playlist on the server side? Could I write an AS application (As I've done with developer edition) to implement server side playlists??
2.- How about the clustering? Could we install an instance of FMS in several servers to make them work as a cluster?

I have two software to create with AIR: a server and a client. Both with AS3 and AIR.I want to avoid having a big architecture with Remote Shared Object, or using BlazeDS, or having to set a Java / Python / ... server in the middle.In order to avoid having to parse socket data in the server and in the client side, I thought about using XMLSocket on the client side: the data arrives in a way which is already parsed by the Flash framework.However, when I use this XMLSocket with the AIR ServerSocket, the "connect" event returns me a raw Socket on the server side. So I have to manually manage the XML data on the server side.
Is there a way to also use an XMLSocket on the server side to communicate with the client? A kind of trick to convert the returned Socket into an XMLSocket?If there is an AS3 library which manages that, I did not find it.

In answering a question on stack overflow, one person recommended using the following code to detect flash server-side, he pointed out that it does not work in safari:
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/x-shockwave-flash')){
$hasFlash = true;}
Testing for Flash capability on the server-side. My question: why does it not work in safari, and how reliably does it work with other browsers?

We are building a Flash application for client use but will need to do server side processing of images. All our expertise and application code is in Java, but I've been told Dot Net has better Flash support. This is general but we will be modifying large (up to 50MB) image files. The idea is that what we could do in Flash should be duplicated, automated and extended on the server side.
