ActionScript 3.0 :: Keeping The Session Alive In Flash Using Keys
Mar 11, 2010
working with a AS3 flash movie button linking to an html form
I have a client that wants to keep the browser session going when it comes to a form being filled out and to pre-fill this data where necessary so basically for Flash to check the user URL and see if there are session keys attached to the URL..
I need Flash to look at the incoming URL which may already have keys attached such as 'uVB2GC1F/xGG3QX1F' and use them by adding them to a button link. These keys will be different every time for each session.
Any standard way to keep alive the http session as long user has open the flex app in the browser? I played around with the polling mechanism of blazeds. But it had no affect on the http session.
I have a little problem with a simple URLLoader,it simply just loads the data from an url, and processes that data, nothing complicated. But, when ever i run it, it leaves the connection open. At the bottom of the browser it says:
Transfering Data From www....
The data is read sucessfully, so it should close the connection? but doesnt seem to want to do it. Is there anyway to close all open connections, or somehow remove such message?
I have page in my asp.net mvc website with a flash app on it, and the user can stay on that page for hours, but his auth cookie/session is going to expire, so I'm thinking to create a PingController and to call it using jquery $.post each 20 minutes.

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?
What would be the better approach for using the Sockets in AS3.
1st) open one connection and keep it alive until the site unloads?
2nd) open a connection, use it, and close it when done; then, open again when I need?
Considering a scenario where some users will make a constant use of the Socket, but others will almost not use it, what would be the better approach? Does an alive Socket connection use too much bandwidth? Does the action of connecting consumes more than keeping it alive?
My flex application generates individual pdf documents based on individual selection criterion,but i need to merge those generated pdfs or is it possible to store individual pdfs temporarily then merge those into single pdf?
Is there a way to directly print using alive pdf (by passing the step where it saves the datagrid in pdf). Right now I am using Alive Pdf for generating PDF from datagrid and its doing a great job. Since flex printing by itself sucks I was wondering if I could directly print using Alive PDF?
I have made a website and put inside it a flash game. For people to play the game they have to log into the website. Logging to the website will create a session. I want for the flash game to get the session id, so I have created a function that gets the session id. It works only in Internet Explorer and when I tried it in Chrome, it didn't retrieve the session id. I have written a php file that will be used by the as3 to get the session id, the php code is this:
I see this type of apparent magic in all sorts of AS3 code, but here is a reduced example:
[Code]...
As indicated in the code comment, the loader variable should fall out of scope after the URLLoaderExample constructor. However... it still seems to be kept alive (not garbage collected) somewhere since the onComplete listener/handler is able to receive it cleanly. Where is the magic/hidden/global reference to loader that keeps it alive so that it can complete it's load operation, and then be handed to the onComplete listener/callback? Can this reference be seen somewhere?
To help with context... as a similar example, I know that the loader instance will have the onComplete listener registered. I also know I need to be careful to use removeEventListener at all times (?) to avoid potential memory leaks resulting from stranded listeners. What concerns me is that I don't understand where the magic loader reference is and whether (or when) I need to clean that up.
I'm trying to display certain content per session, but the site has the same Flash embedded in the different sections of the site, so I can't set it on the site's Model or a Global Variable. I also can't use PHP or JS.
I have a php website that uses sessions and if your not logged in you cannot acces a web page... I want the same for my Flash file, but want flash to see if there is a valid session on the php website and if there is play the flash, if not access denied..![code]...
I'm using Flash uploader(uploadify, swfupload) with CodeIgniter, want to get the session data. I have found out that the flash does not send the session data, so I have set $config['sess_match_useragent'] = FALSE;
Now for example i have set session value myname in session and I can get it on my backend PHP script using Internet Explorer.[code]...
How can I utilize the session data from my PHP when I am about to upload a file using the flash movie. Meaning, the file uploading is at the back-end. Let say, my session contains the value of my ID, then I would like to get that ID and use it as a directory where my uploaded files be moved. The upload was successful but it cannot move to the desired directory using my session data.
I'd like to create a website that displays a swf file. Is there a way I can make it so that the content of the .swf file comes from session variables (probably coldfusion). So, if someone types in their name, I want to save their name to the database & then later display their name in the swf file.
I'm using Flash to do the visual work of an php website, but I got a really big problem here.
I've a find textfield and a find button, calling a php function, working almost perfectly, but... if user is not logged.if he is I can't find a nice way of tell flash that user is logged and that he must pass to php the string to find and the session variable I need to make this work like a charm.[code]...
I need to have a banner that changes every 5 seconds. Problem is that when I move from page to page it starts at the beginning. If I had a session that recorded each change and that could be read by flash on initialise then this would work. My prefered platform is PHP but can use ASP
The website need to login to perform certain task. We use stock Auth component to do the job.
Everything is fine until it hits an interface which build in Flash. Talking to Amf seems fine. But when the Flash player try to talk to other controller - got redirect because the session in not presented.
So basically when a user login - I need to somehow find a way to login the Flash player in as well.
ADDITION: This only solve half of the problem.
Backtrack a little bit. How the Auth components evaluate the requester?
If the Session.checkAgent is true. They check if its the last one. So Flash has no chance they have a different Agent string.
OK now - Auth check them out - what? The Session cookie they store earlier ... so fail again.
I am using Amf (as Cakephp Plugins) when I tried to test if the $this->params['actions'] is start with amf - it works sometime doesn't work sometime. Looking at "Charles" I can see they all call to the amf controller.
I implemented a kind of Bio metric login in Flash. Now, my flash is detecting person and authentication him. But all I need if after bio metric authentication some information to be passed from Flash to my ASP.NET as to initialize session. Is it possible to pass authentication code from Flash file to ASP.NET page?
I have a login form in ASP.Net when user login he will jump on another page which consist a link of flash game.
When user click on flash game link, the flash game call the session from ASP.Net and on welcome screen show the name of the user in swf file and if he make the high score his high score save.
Next time when he login his high score will shown on screen.
I'm using a flash component in my symfony2 application which uploads multiple images, and when they reach the server I want to re-open the session so that I can store the image in a location relative to the logged in user. I am sending the PHP session ID with each file upload..
I have a flash logo on my website but I don't want it to play every page load.I'm a total newbie in actionscript but I've gone as far as I have with the logo by googling and asking questions. I hope someone can please tell me how to do this one last thing I need on my logo since I can't find it anywhere! :)I'm using AS2 but I guess I can use 3 as well.
OK, I have a flash file which has a download button. This is in a php page. We have a php session in the header named sourceID= etc....
We tried putting the following url into the flash download button same as the php links on our page - [URL] echo (int)$_GET['sourceID'] ?> but it doesnt pick up the sourceID information.
i.e what to put in the php page and what to use for the getURL link in flash.
