ActionScript 3.0 :: Peer To Peer In Flash, Is Java The Answer
Aug 31, 2011
One workaround for this seems to be very briefly using a server to authenticate and setup a peer to peer connection, such as Adobe Cirrus. Another workaround is simply not using peer-to-peer, and instead setting up a dedicated server using Java or PHP to communicate between users.
It seems to me, that if you can use Java on a server to communicate between two users, shouldn't you be able to use Java in your program to directly handle peer-to-peer communications, no server needed?
And, if it's at least theoretically possible, would someone mind pointing me to a good tutorial on integrating Flash and Java, and using Java to do peer-to-peer? The tutorials and examples I've managed to find so far on both subjects haven't been very illuminating.

I am trying to implement the actionscript program described at this address. http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_a_P2P_file_sharing_application-16539.html. It lets two flash client connect to the cirrus service and share a file using the flash peer to peer facilities.
The problem is that I would like to display a progress bar to the downloading client for long files. There does not seem to be any progress-type event been triggered by data sent by NetStream.Send. This particular function appears to have been created by adobe to send tiny update and meta-data code.
Is there a way to display a progress bar of downloaded data when using a netstream object?
The alternative would be to break the data into small packets and send them individually; then increment the progress bar as they are received by the client. Unfortunately this creates a lot of overhead for the simple problem of displaying a progress bar.

When running a peer-assisted multicast video event, what determines when a peer might switch to another peer?What I'm asking is that a peer joins the group, is handed a few peers that may be decent cadidates to pull the video stream from.They start pulling that stream from peer1 and if they can't connect (or I assume if the connection is terrible) they will try the next peer.What if I want the peer to give up (and try another peer) if the quality of the stream coming from a peer is not terrible but is not great either.Is that configurable?

we're having a strange problem on a project here. When we use NetConnection in combination with a NetGroup to initiate communication between two local AIR applications on Windows XP, they always both connect to the NetGroup succesfully and detect each other as neighbors. However, on Windows 7 both applications connect succesfully to the NetConnection and NetGroup both don't detect each other as neighbors.To reproduce this problem, here are two AIR applications:[code]
These applications can connect and send message to each other without a problem on Windows XP. On Windows 7 however, they cannot.Does anyone know why this wouldn't work on Windows 7 and what steps can be taken to make it work? It's critical to our project that this works.In some cases, the applications take quite a long time to detect each other as neighbors (up to 15 seconds in some cases), in other cases they detect each other immediately. Does anyone know what could cause this delay?

Adobe Cirrus offers a number of options for transferring data from peer to peer: Directed Routing, Object Replication and Multicasting to name a few.I just want to send the data to one specific peer, its fine for other peers to 'see' it in transit.
My experiments with Directed Routing (the obvious answer) have not gone well. all the sendto... methods fail, while NetGroup.post works fine on the same netgroup. I am concerned about using direct connections because of reliability.
Has anyone successfully implemented a one to one messaging strategy (not one to many), which can still message between non-connected peers - (Directed Routing) or solved this problem successfully?
I am considering various workarounds, but I am quite perplexed that these NetGroup methods: sendToNearest, sendToNeighbour & sendToAllNeighbours just seem to fail, for no apparent reason.

I've installed FLASH MEDIA DEVELOPMENT SERVER 4 for testing. I wonder if there is a way to disable Stratus/Cirrus peer introduction services included in this version of FMS, because I need to simulate Flash Media Interactive Server 4 (not the Enterprise version) to adjust my application properly for cheaper solution.I am using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS and I want to test, what are the differences of usage and how to do it right, even implement a fallback, when no peer introduction services are working on the server.

I am trying to get an answer from Input text Field and compare it to the correct answer.here is how my code look like:
//I have a confirm button here
confirm_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ConfirmFunction);
//I have a correct answer as a String here
var correctans:String = "July";
[code]....
This will check if correct answer contains words in the answer from input text field.But that will result on if I key in "July is great", it will still link to the correct answer frame instead of wrong answer frame.I want the answer to be exact same as the correct answer.

I have a grid with 12 movieclip buttons. When a button is pushed a answer is displayed and on the answer frame, there's a button "click for more information".
That button points to information in a frame within the mc button. However, when I test it all the buttons on the root timeline appear on top of this information, covering it up.
Also, when you move the mouse while in this "further info" area, it disappears

I have a client-server multigame suite for PC ("kind of" cross-platform using cygwin), which is developed in Java(game menus and database management), C++ (server side), and adobe Flash (game graphics & interaction).
I have never tried to develop for android, so i have no experience.I am thinking of migrating this suite to google TV. So i would like someone with android experience to give a clue on the following :
1) Is it going to be easy to migrate the Java application to an Android application?
2) What kind of Flash support does Android have? Can it load directly swf applications? Does it have to load swf's through browser?
3) Can i find any kind of performance indexes for google TV hardware?

I need to load somehow the html code of a webpage A into a javascript string of another webpage B, on a different host. I know this is impossible to do with javascript alone because of the same origin policy, and I know I could do it loading the page via php on my server and then send results back to the user's client but I wouldn't be able to handle so many requests, so I need it to be done directly by the user's browser. I can use nearly whatever browser scripting language/applet framework common enough to be installed on the majority of my users' computers, like flash and java.On example, what if I use flash or java to load the external html code and then call a javascript callback function providing the source? Could this work?

If one doesn't have the source code, the only to test is to send keystroke and mouse move so I found this product but it's not free and opensource price is not even known :([URL] Squish supports automating interactions and testing non-HTML/DOM elements, that is, native objects, which are embedded in a web page. This is done at a fairly abstract level, which means that mouse and text input can be recorded and replayed.
In addition it is possible to inspect embedded native objects with the Spy tool and to insert verifications for these native objects. All of a native object's public properties can be accessed in test scripts.

When i make a small change in Flex code (eg, reposition of a button...anything), and run the project on server, it does make any change on output. Actually it depends on my luck... because it makes change in output randomly.what is is happening? tried rebuild, republish, clean , restart server, restarting the IDE, restarting the computer all available feature i could think. Also, i created a simple flex project on IDE and compiled it..... everything is compiled and displayed on output.

Right away i just try to explain my problem: Using BlazeDS i got the following Javaclasses:
[Code]...
Then i got a Flex service class calling BlazeDS and executing the getCategories java method. Since Flash dosn't seem to understand typed arrays, the result from that method which i get back in flex is a simple array of untyped objects (the mapping dosn't seem to work here, even tought the class category exists in flex and has the same properties).
thats the first thing. but however, i'm converting the untyped objects manually into objects of the category.as class. the second thing is that categories have child-categories within the java object, which are also ArrayLists of the type category.java. the problem about that: my result event object only contains the first level of categories, looking into them the children are allways null. i dunno why they are empty, since they ARE part of the java object category.
and the third thing (the strangest by fast), you maybe noticed i named the properties of the category.java class strange, like idCat and nameTest instead of simply id and name. why that? because the property names of my flex result objects dont seem to change when i change the java objects properties names (result object properties are named "id" and "name" but the java class object properties are named "idCAT" and "nameTEST"). that it REALLY strange, since if i set the properties, like you see at nameTEST = "TESTNAME" it IS recogniced by flex, only the proertyNAMES dont seem to be recognized at all.
