ActionScript 3.0 :: Response From Server Into Arraycollection Trauma?
Oct 27, 2010
I am developing an application that takes a variety of bits of info and displays them in pods within a page.
One of the bits of info takes ONE row from a database table and tries (currently) to put it into a datagrid. Now, I know Flex wont allow that, so I have tried all kinds of things to fix it - using the xml directly, trying to get the info into labels casting as an array, using xmlistcollections... so much time on Google but now I am stuck. I'm not precious about getting the info into a datagrid - in fact I'd rather put it into labels or text boxes so I can presents it in a more flexible way.
Looking in the debugger, it seems like I don't even have the data in my variable - I do have it in the event so it is there, but I can't for the life of me get it out...This obviously works fine for multiple rows of data in the array - not the single row. i'm trying to get the info into a var called _SystemStatus.
Overview of Code:I have a mxml but with all the presentation stuff in. I also have two actionscript modules with code in (you may have guessed that I am new to this, so I have found most of this great code on the internet)
The AS bits are sql.as - this basically is a load of functions called by the mxml which contain the sql to send to the database mssql.as - this does all the magic of getting the data from the db, and taking it from the event.
Code below:
CompletionTimes.mxml (note - its got errors in where i have tried things)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PodContentBase
xmlns="dashboard.view.ActionScript.*"
xmlns:mx="adobe web (removed so i can post!"
I have upgraded from FMS2 > Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 I added both the seriel number for FMS3 and FMS2 during the installation process. When I logged onto the admin panel there was no licence listed, and a link saying "to upgrade to unlimited connections now, click here".
So, I checked the fms.ini and no seriel was there. I put the seriel number in and restarted the server through the FMSadmin tool. Still, no licence file was showing. I then added the licence file via the admin panel and got a dialogue saying "Seriel Key "blah" Sent To The Server for approval". The seriel key now appears with a valid status of false. And no further progress after that. The documentation states that when you add the seriel key in this manner it should recognise it immediately.
Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong? I have trebble checked the seriel number, and copied and pasted it to make sure it is exactly right.
I made a server connection with AC3 and C, I need the client(AC3) to be able to send a 3 byte message to the server (C) and have the server return a resopnse. So far everything works except for the fact that the feedback isn't fast enough becuase AC3 just tests for data once and moves on instead of waiting like in C. I'm using a binary socket at the moment but I was wondering if there was any way to wait for new data before moving on
I have an asp page that loads a response " user=exists " everytime I try to update a database record (when of course the record already exists!) How can I handle this response with AS3 in Flash?
I'm making a multiplayer flash game where at a 'table' more than two players will be playing. Its turn based. Using zendAMF can the server response be made to wait till the player whose turn it is has made his move, so that it will appear to be real time?
I don't want to use polling since I read that it is not a very good practice. Instead can this method work? Lets say its player A's turn and the other players B,C,D are waiting. Their flash clients send a request to the server to get any updates. Instead of responding immediately can the server wait till player A has made his move and then send its response containing player A's move details to other players B,C,D?
Edit: Added image.Found the name of this method. Its called Long polling. So can Long polling be done with PHP webserver running apache and using a flash client which sends the requests?This is how the other players waiting players B,C,D are expected to be treated.
I have been staring at this code for quite a while but can't find what's wrong. When uploaded to the server I get no kind of response. I have a class gameEventDB that through a php reads data from a database.
I get no kind of response not even an error. the 'path' variable is sent from the main class and looks something like
I am trying to connect my flex app to a CFC I have which calls a method. It's to test a login control, and when i put the correct credentials in, it comes back with the error: "SOAP Response cannot be decoded. Raw response: ".
I have some asynchronous stuff going on in my Flash movie and would like to determine how much time elapses between two events -- e.g., a button click and the response from a socket server.
I am trying to connect to the Flash media servers from behind a customer's firewall.From behind this firewall the time taken for a response (its usually success) is around 20-25 seconds.The following is the code I am using to make the connection and listen to the events
var nc = new NetConnection(); nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,netStatusHandler); var time1:String = (new Date()).toTimeString();[code]........
The delay between time1 and time2 is always 20-25 seconds. From other firewalls and non firewalled networks its usually 3-4 seconds.What could be the reason for this huge delay for a response in this case. I have noticed that the first response is always a "NetConnection. Connect.Success".We are looking to deploy around 20-30 media servers if we can get this thing to work and appreciate any prompt response in this regard.
I'm making a game that is tightly integrated into a rest service. I want to set variables based on what the server tells me the variable should be.
[Code]....
but then the parseUserRank() method can't directly return the value to userRank, so there would have to be an event dispatched when its available, then update then finally update the variable value....
I am thinking of writing a subclass of ArrayCollection, similar to ClearToolkit's that can be smart about managing my remote objects when coming back from BlazeDS.I am wondering if it is possible to get Flex to put my collection of objects in my own custom collection instead of defaulting to ArrayCollection? If not, I'll need to pull everything out of the collection it comes in in order to populate my own.
I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
I have a advanced datagrid and populating some data by using arraycollection. And i am filtering the arraycollection, the arraycollection index got changed.
I have code that was written in Actionscript 3.0 that sends a request for information to a php file which sends a XML response back.
Now I'm trying to adapt an old program using Actionscript 2.0 to send a similar request to the same php file and I'm unable to get access to the XML string :
I opened up the debugger and I see my XML data on the names column under the this pointer, in the locals tab. My data is there but is inaccessible to me. Something has definitely gone wrong
Here's the code to begin the request
Code: { reply_lv = new LoadVars(); send_lv = new LoadVars(); // load these vars
[Code].....
I tried to fill in IsLoggedInCallback with a bunch of code to extract the XML but it was all garbage and I felt it wouldn't be much help if I left that code there.
I have a flash image slider with a button below each image. When i press that button, the user is redirected to a new page where i add that image product to my cart.
The problem is that after doing the adding, i want to redirect the user back to the initial page.
I need to make any request to this url and get Http Rewspons header (like this one:HTTP/1.0 200 OKContent-type: video/x-flvCache-Control: no-cacheI do not need reponse body at all. After I get header need to emmidiatly close connection to that url (so stop to obtain data from it)
I'm doing a form for a website but flash is not getting the response that is suppose to from the php file. When i go to the php file with
Code: navegateToURL
the browser shows the the correct values, which means that is getting the info from the as3 class correctly. The problem is getting the response back to let the user know that everything is done.
Actionscript Code: listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void{filename = file.name;var sender_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();sender_lv.filename = filename;var reciever_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();reciever_lv.onLoad =

It uploads a text file to my server (I'm running the .swf file locally) and it works. But I need to load the contents of the file into my program, and when I do the special norwegian characters "� � �" turns into jibberish. So I wrote a script to change the encoding, but when I send the filename to the .php file, I don't get a response.
I have built a simple contact form that sends t an email address via a php script. This works fine, (message detalis are sent as URLVariables, which are the data property of a URL Request whose method is set to POST). The PHP script returns a boolean value to confirm that the details have been successfully forwarded to the mail server:
I need to create a function which checks for the existance of a word within an answer... and if the answer contains the'keyword' then it is deemed as correct..For example, if my keyword is 'dalton' I would like to accept any answer which contains 'dalton', for example :the four daltons, Daltons Weekly, the dalton, whatever else dalton might say..
I have built a simple flex application (using BlazeDS) which displays "Person" details by invoking a java service using flex remoting. So, my Person class looks something like this:
class Person { public int age; public String name; }
As a java developer, here is my understanding: When I run the front flex app in my webapp, an RPC call is executed and BlazeDS does the hard work of invoking the right method, obtaining the result as an object, converting the object to AMF format (serialization). And, then the web/app server sends back this response to the requesting app over http. The flex app now does the task of deserializing the object received in AMF format and somehow make use of it.
Here is my question: I would like to modify the response before it reaches the Flex application by modifying the attributes of the person object. I have a Filter in place to do this. However, I am not sure as to how I would deserialize the AMF stream, modfiy the object, serialize the object back into the stream / reconstruct the stream somehow.
Is there a way to doing this? Where should I start? If the question was too confusing, here is a shorter version: How do I modify the response stream of content type AMF-X, before it reaches a flex app using a java filter?
I'm writing a google gdata API client in Flash/AS2 (sadly, moving to AS3 is not an option at this time). Logging in via ClientLogin works fine but subquent requests will return a 302 redirect that includes a gsessionid I am supposed to include with future requests to avoid the 302s.
Flash/AS2, AFAIK, does not allow me to actually query an http error response body in any way, so there's no way for me to actually see this gsessionid after the 302 is returned. Is there a gdata api call which will return me a valid gsessionid inside an HTTP 200 response if I already have a valid GoogleLogin auth token, or is this not possible without a man-in-the-middle proxy?
I feel like I must be doing this wrong. I've got a function that is supposed to construct a query based on an API's description of available fields. Here's what I've got:
var query_fields = getQueryFieldsFor(sobject_name); Need query fields for the next statement, which actually does the query
public function getQueryFieldsFor(sObject:String):String{ //helper function to get queryfields for given sobject var queryFields:String = '';
[Code]...
I know this doesn't work, and I think I understand why. However, I keep running into this type of issue and I believe I'm just thinking about it/designing it wrong. So what's a better pattern here?
I m using URLLoader to send a post request. The server returns HTTP code 404 in case the parameters are wrong, and puts the error message in the response body.Get resoinse body when URLLoader gets 404
The problem is that if the response has code 404, the IOError listener is called and I can't see the body of the response.
Is there a way to tell the URLLoader to ignore HTTP codes and always call the Completed listener?
Or maybe there is a way to get the response body in the IOError listener throw the IOErrorEvent? I couldn't find such a way.
I have a multiple choice quiz that needs to have a sound played with each response. So if the user selects the correct response, they get the ding sound. If the user selects the incorrect answer they get a buzzer sound.
I'm writing URLRequests to the server (to return XML). The code works fine. I'm able to retrieve and use the XML. The problem is that (at least in the development environment) the Flash player caches the response. The result is that subsequent requests of the same URL don't hit the server. This is a problem as I'm developing the server side scripts and they're not perfect the first time :-). Is there a way to: 1. clear the cache, or 2. tell Flash not to cache results?
I have created a Mahjong solitaire game in which 144 tiles are laid out on the stage, variably stacked up to four levels. You find two matching tiles that have free sides and have no tile sitting on top of them, click them both, and they are removed. Object is to remove all of them.
My problem is that I'm getting about a one second lag when I click the second of two matching tiles. I'm pretty certain that the bottleneck is in the functions that get called when any tile is clicked, that determine if it's free on one side and above. I have never "stepped through" or otherwise debugged before. Is there a way for me to step through my code and get some indication of what the specific problem is?
I have this really weird problem. I'm making several calls to different php files (located on another server with crossdomain.xml changed so that it is allowed) and need to receive some response back in flash and work with the data received.The first call is done by the following code:
ActionScript Code:var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://otherserver.com/assign.php"); var loader2:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
