ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Apps That Interact With A Server?
Feb 10, 2009
I'm interested in learning how to make flash apps that can send and recieve data to a server, but I know virtually nothing about networking and I want to change that. Whats a good place to start? My goal at the moment is to make a flash app where two people can go to a website and play tic tac toe (would this be possible with geocities btw, or would i need to get real hosting? Or could i use my personal computer as a temporary server?)

I'm playing a flash game on facebook. I know I can decompile it to find out all the commands and would like to make scripts to automate the game by calling procedures in the actionscript of the game. So I guess I would like to make a plugin also that would insert this console into any flash app and this would be handy for a lot of things. Then if anyone wants to hack a new game, u just decompile it and make a handbook of methods for people to make scripts with. So how would I go about making this console? I don't know if I could make a swf interact with the game or if it has to be compiled into the game's swf. Or if it is easier with javascript, that is cool too. maybe we can make a javascript library just for this. anyone can tell me more?

I am currently making some interactive training apps for a company, It seems like flash is the way to go since I know AS3 and am comfortable with it. The problem comes where my boss wants to be able to sell these apps as learning aids to schools. Would using something like adobe air with flash be the way to go?

Is there any way to make a flash object where users can interact but has no server side support. All users are in the same network, the swf file would be on a shared drive. Nothing complicated, just one frame where everyone (about 10 user) can make modification. No login, no password.

I sucessfully upgraded from FMS to FMIS. In the Admin it shows that the license is now Flash Media Interactive Server r405 I believe. The live and vod services continue to work as expected. On a separate development server I have developed a number of applications that I want to move to the new production server. Nothing connects at all on the new server. In the Admin, all the applications show as being available. Is there something I need to do to make it work?

I just wanna ask something about deploying flash apps in Flash Media server.If I have developed (or costumize) a flash player under Flash Media Development Server (free/trial one) when I try to deploy the apps on FMSS, can it be done? I mean, from what I read in 3 FMS edition comparison table.it is said that we cannot build custom apps to be deployed in FMSS, only in FMIS, is that right?

I want to build apps to stream to Apple/IOS devices but I don't have an Ipad or Iphone.......what programs can I use to emulate Apple/IOS devices? Is there an emulator? Or will a download of quicktime work? maybe HTML5 video object will work in any webbrowser. I haven't looked into what it takes to use FMS on Apple/IOS devices, so maybe I will answer this question by this afternoon.

I am looking to develop basic client server data application to add value to a website.
The website is .net based and opening an api such as asmx web service, json or xml would be simple.
Can anyone tell me what are the limitations - technically, what is possible with flash and also what Apple consider to be good practice.
Does anyone have any Actionscript code examples?

I'm trying to make a P2P video chat application with Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Media Server 4.5.First, I've tried a simple sample application using Cirrus(Stratus). It worked very well!NetConnection -> NetGroup -> 2 NetStreams -> netstream play and publish -> last, netgroup post.The sample was all OK.[code]I couldn't get events about NetGroup and NetStream any more..When using Stratus, It worked well...I am not familiar with FMS.. did I skip something in FMS setting?

I have a small media server. It's actually a Netgear GoFlex Home (NAS) running Plugbox Linux. It's currently running a bunch of servers HTTP/FTP/WebDAV/DLNA/Webmin etc and I want to create a frontend for my multimedia that I can access from the internet. (I preimarily use it as a DLNA media server).At first I considered using a Java Servlets backend with a Flex based frontend but that fact that I can't use Flex Builder from work (licensing) and I'm unwilling to pay a few hundred pounds for it, that's out of the question.

I am writing an app that track data/stats on multi FMS servers and that is working fine for my own custom server side functions. What I do is loop thru a list of IP of my FMS servers, call each IP and I also pass the IP to the server side function that get return and I can have my Responder object plug the returning data into an associate arrays (using IP as index) for reporting. Now my problem is when I used the Admin API. Here I was doing the same thing except I don't know the IP of the respnding FMS and I need to capture the data (into arrays etc). I had tried extending the Responder class so I can plug in the IP of the calling server but so far no good. I guess I need a way to know who is calling back

I have an app written in adobe flex (action script 3) that I want to have interact with a web service. Because it appears I can't access the server, I've created a simple app. Source code for the ActionScript
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]" layout="absolute" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">
<mx:HTTPService id="concat" url="concat.php" resultFormat="text" method="POST">
<mx:request xmlns="">
<stringOne>{stringOne.text}</stringOne>
<stringTwo>{stringTwo.text}</stringTwo>

When I fill in the fields and press the button nothing happens.

I'm working on a web application which displays a 3D model (Acrobat 3D PDF file) and allows users to interact with the model. I need to be able to communicate with PDF from the web page:
1) Programmatically highlight a node in the 3D PDF (given the node name) when, say, the user clicks on a list item referencing that node name in the web page
2) The reverse way, know which node the user selected in the 3D PDF so I can highlight that node name in the web page.
My questions:
a) The UI of my page is Flex. Is it possible to do this interaction directly from Flex?
b) If not, is it possible to do this from browser javascript? (which I will in turn call from Flex) I have seen an article on browser-pdf communication [URL] but am not sure if 3D objects can be accessed from external browser javascript.
c) Or does the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control expose methods to perform these operations from browser javascript?
d) Lastly, do folks have any recommendations based on their experience, on which 3D CAD viewer software integrate with browsers and enable this kind of interaction? (Apart from Acrobat 3D, I am evaluating a few such as 3DVIA Composer Player).

I need (for a project I'm working on) to act on a MC that is outside of the MC containing the button and the script. but it seems I'm unable to do it.let's say I have two MC, let's call one MC_1 and one MC_2.now, I want to set alpha of MC_1 to 0 via a button included inside MC_2.it simply don't works as inside MC_2 there's nothing with instance name "MC_1". I can act on any MC inside MC_2, and on MC_2 itself (using "this"), but not on something "outside" it.there's a way to interact from inside a MC to the outside of it?

The following code loads the external SWF just fine and displays it in the correct position. The SWF plays automatically as it should and stops at the first stop statement, as it also should. However, my mouse doesn't recognize any buttons. All text that is TLF read only can be selected. The SWF playes perfectly on its own, but loaded into the main SWF, all user interactions are not working. Here's the code:

I have a client who has asked me to interact with the database using xml. The flash app needs to submit only simple data such as name & e-mail.
I would usually POST this using sendAndLoad, but the client seems to think using XML is less vulnerable?.

I am set to learn all I can about flash. Here's my first problem:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,go);
function go(e:Event):void {
bijtje_mc.x=mouseX;
bijtje_mc.rotation=Math.random()*20;
bijtje_mc.y=mouseY;
[Code] .....
I am not sure if the Mouse events are suited.. but the biggest problem is the MC's, I think. I want the mouse to interact with them.. just like a button you know. Made 3 different MC's, one for when its idle, one when MOUSE_OVER, and one when you click it.. they are on frame 1 , 5 and 10. The problem is.. the mouse cursor isn't interacting with anything.. the custom cursor "bijtje_mc" does work though.

I'm programming my game using Flash Builder 4, in an "ActionScript project". I'm not using Flex. I want to build my menus and cutscenes in Flash Professional, then export them as SWF and embed them into my final project.Embedding the SWFs works fine, I do something like this:
Code:
[Embed(source = 'test.swf')] private var SwfClass:Class;
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new SwfClass();
parent.addChiled( myMovieClip )
My problem is that I can't access the buttons and other elements of the SWF that I need to communicate with and manipulate. For example, the main menu will have a "Play" button. I need to know if that button has been pressed. The level select screen will have a "Best Time" text field, that should show the player's best time on a level - this text needs to be set. But I can't figure out how to access these things.
I don't think that the children of the MovieClip are visible within my Actionscript project - it seems like the SWF is loaded in as one big "chunk" that can't be interacted with (it plays fine though).So what is the best way to interact/communicate with an embedded SWF? I've found a bit of information on the topic, but usually people are talking about using Flex or loading in external SWF (which seems to behave different from embedding). Is there even a way to do this?

I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other So there is main SWF file lets call it: main.swf then within that file(main.swf) I would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on. Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf.

If a swf file is destined to be loaded into a container file and interacted with from there, is it considered better practice for the code for the interaction to reside in the loaded file or the container file? I am writing on the timeline, rather than creating classes. Also if a movie clip on the stage contains buttons with event listeners attached and I remove the movie clip as a child, do the event listeners disappear with it, or should i remove them separately?

I have a Flex application with wmode=transparent and a transparent section that allows whatever is underneath it on the HTML page to show through. In this case, what's showing through is another Flash application. This works fine, but I can't interact with the Flash application showing through.
I tried setting the z-index of the Flash app to something greater than my Flex app, and that worked, but unfortunately that solution doesn't work for my case because the Flex application has components that occasionally overlay in that area, and setting the z-index of the Flash app to be higher means those components are always stuck behind it.

I'm currently working on a corporate intranet application. Part of the requirements are to have the application start a program on the users local PC (Minitab) and then have the webapp communicate with it via it's COM interface.
What are my options for doing something like this?
A signed Java applet and Jacob ActiveX and .NET (this will only work in IE, correct?) Flash? (can flash be given permission to the local PC?) Silverlight???
I'm leaning towards trying the java approach (all users will have Java and flash installed) but am wondering what's the path of least resistance.
The application runs from Apache2/Python/modwsgi on Gentoo Linux. All users will be running WinXP or Win7 with Firefox or IE6/7/8.
