ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving Information Between Sessions?
Nov 8, 2009
I'm working on a game using Actionscript 3.0 and Flash CS4 and I'd like to make it save a player's scores and achievements between sessions locally on their computer. I thought the best way to do this would be by using cookies, and I started looking for ways to use JavaScript from ActionScript to save and load that information.While I was reading the articles I found on the subject, they seemed to suggest there was another way of saving information between sessions using something built into flash directly. Does anybody know about this? I'm not even sure what it's called. Even better if I could get some straightforward code for setting and recieving data from cookies using JavaScript or some other method.

Is it possible to save information taken in flash to the desktop? For an example, I have a quiz I want the user to be able to take notes and save it to their desktop in .txt or if possible .doc format. Is something like this possible, if not does anyone have any idea how I can create this type of functionality as well as elaborate on how I can go about accomplishing this?

{
$name = $_POST['name'];
[Code]......
I dont know if this is because i havnt placed it on the server yet, or if its something I need to resolve now?

Since the Flash Player (or, more exactly, the URLLoader class) will not let you read HTTP response headers or cookies set by the server, and if you get hold of a session cookie through some workaround like reaching out to the browser and run JS, you can't send it to the server, because, among others, the Cookie header will be blocked. Now I'm building a Flex client against an HTTP API for my server product. I control both sides, so I can get get around the above limitations, now I'm wondering how. I see the following options:
include the session token in the HTTP payload include the token in the URL build my own HTTP client (... with blackjack, and hookers ...) in AS, using the Socket class I don't like (1), because I'm reimplementing functionality in my protocol that is already built into Struts, which I'm using to implement the server side. I then have to ensure that either both behave the same way, or turn off the usual way of session management and force other clients to use my protocol where they could just have the browser deal with it. I don't like (2), because I understand that there are security concerns with this, although I'm not too sure which
I don't like (3), because it's 2010 and tons of HTTP clients have been written by smarter people than me. So, are there other opportunities? Which of my "don't like"s do you reckon least severe? Are there ways to mitigate the problems I listed? For example, how insecure are session tokens in URLs really?

I'm writing an application which uses cookie-based sessions for authentication. All was well until I tried to integrate the uploadify jQuery plugin into my site. I need uploadify to send the files to my upload.php file. When I check the existence of any preknown session variables in that upload.php script, I get nothing. I've tried print_r($_SESSION) and got an empty array.
I'm not sure if this a problem with my php sessions code or my jquery uploadify code. I'm somewhat new at both.
/** INSIDE JQUERY **/
$('.fileUploadify').uploadify({
'scriptData': {'filesUploaded':'1','PHPSESSID' : <?php echo

We have a Flash site that integrates heavily with Facebook. When users sign up we get them to allow a Facebook app that ties into the site. This is done through the AS3 Facebook API library from Adobe. When users have done this, they should then be able to sign up, submitting some personal details and so on. The Flash sends this request to our PHP which then checks to see if the user is actually logged into Facebook, and has allowed our app. The problem we're having is that when a user goes to do this, the PHP facebook library says that the user is not logged in. If we then refresh the page and try signing up again, everything works fine.

I am thinking about porting my social netowrking site code to Adobe Flex / PHP and was wondering how does one go about handling sessions in this case. I would imagine Adobe Flex doesn't really know if a PHP session has been started or not therefore, I would have to research how to accomplish this. One idea I had was to created a session token string after a successful login and pass this token to each http request the user makes for data. E.g. [URL]. Each time a request is made to this page, a MySQL query is run to check if the token I passed in the url matches against the token created for that user during login. If this is true, then data is returned.

So I had been working on this issue where I couldn't get a swf to reload in the same state it was originally loaded. Well further testing leads me to believe that my Model class is being persisted over multiple sessons in the player. Here is my model class:
[Code]...
So when I fire up the swf the first time in the IDE's player, i get 'no previous instance' as you would expect, then I hit ctrl + enter to restart the swf in the IDE's player and I get 'destroying instance'. So this tells me that the Model instance is getting persisted over player sessions. Unless I am mistaken, and correct me if I am wrong, I would assume clicking ctrl + enter (i.e refreshing the swf in the player) would act like a new swf session.

As the title indicates the question is in regards to the service layer of a flex application. Specifically in a test case class. To call the services the user must first authenticate through an html/CF based page. Once that's done and the authentication has occurred the user is directed to the html page with the flex application embedded in. Once authenticated the server side CF code writes a cookie to the users computer. This cookie is then read by the flex app and is required for the flex app to make calls to the CF services.
The question is: how should this be handled in a test case class for the service class in the flex app? The following steps need to basically take place: use some account data to hit the server and authenticate, the cookie then needs to be written (which it will already), then the test case needs to pick up the session id from the cookie and pass it to the service call within the test case. That just all seems like too much for a test case class.
So, how is this type of thing usually handled. From what I gather it's typical for web service calls to require a session id like this.

I think I inherited bad code, here's the deal: In my command, I create a local var for the remote object and then call a method on it. In the result, if there's no data, I start a timer. This timer broadcasts an event every 2 seconds that continually calls this command until data is returned. Then the timer is stopped.
What we're seeing is that the method returns data once, and then the next time it doesn't (dupe Flex sessions error). It basically alternates. If we click really fast, sometimes we'll get two to work in a row. At times, the Java dev is seeing these requests returned with different JSESSIONIDs. I believe this is causing the duplicate Flex sessions error. I'm using Cairngorm; here's the execute command.
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
{
ruleName = (event as FetchReportEvent).ruleName;
var ro:RemoteObject = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject("quantRemoteObject");
if (model.guid != null)

I want to add the ability to have my flash game record the users progress then save to a database. That part is pretty easy, but how can I make it so the user can login and continue their game. I also wanting to know if it'll be better for the game progress to be saved with SharedObjects or with an SQL database. I would like it that the game could be played on any website and their data can still be accessed and played if that is advised. I am new to user sessions with AS3 and need pointers.

How do I limit my amf sessions to flex over pyamf?
I have set up a pyamf gateway to that serves value objects that originate from a django admin panel, through sqlalchemy to my authenticated flex client. It's working great, however there is a problem. My sessions are persisting and clogging up the server, so after about 20 or so AMF sessions are authenticated, it refuses any more until I restart the server.

Does anyone know of a way to obtain information about the environment that a SWF is served into? Things like the URL of the page that is hosting the SWF?
So say there's the URL [URL] which has the movie flashmovie.swf embeded in it ... is there a way to get the URL from inside flashmovie.swf and cast it into a string datatype?
I've been picking apart the _global object by recursively un-hiding it and the objects it holds properties, but so far have not come up with anything that could prove useful.

I've got an array, events, where I store objectdata, such asevents.id (String), events.action (String) and events.time (Number).In a for-loop, I want to go through the array and for each object I want to connect a Timer which runs the function "takeIt" which runs the public function "newEvent". The object in the array, events.id contains information about the object which is running newEvent, and in the array, events.action there are alse information which action to use. The events[i].time contains information about the timer delay which seems to work.How should I wite this to make it work?
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
function takeIt(e:TimerEvent) {

What I need to obtain is the playhead location of a playing video when the Stop button is pressed. I need this to be either in milliseconds or hours:minutes:seconds. Either format is fine as I can work with either.I need this so that I can add a cue point to the video so that when the user returns to the presentation, it will start playing again at that point.

I'm making a very simple MP3 player in Flash CS4 Professional 10.0.2 that loads a song from an array containing the locations of the songs and plays it. The player also displays the artist and song info name in dynamic text fields as specified in the ID3 section of the MP3 file. It works as desired when I load the MP3 before playing it. This is the relevant portion of the code, highlighted in green to indicate that it functions as I want:
[Code]....
What's odd is that if I comment out the last two lines of the onID3 function, so that the function only performs the trace command that's highlighted in orange, it works! This tells me that it's loading the ID3 information. So why can't it display the information from the currentSong variable?
EDIT: I'm pulling the MP3 files from the same server as the SWF. I would not be pulling them from a remote location!
