View 2 RepliesWhen Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
I am trying to add a url request to a button when you hit it....
my AS3:

function WWbutn(event:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(WWbutn_req,"_blank"); }
WWbutn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, WWbutn);
When I publish this I get 1023 Incompatible override and 1021 Duplicate function definition error...
I have an application developed in flash, and I need to access some php files. so the php file return some data if the access is came from swf. How can i identify if the request came from flash or not?

I get twelve total errors (there are six buttons with a slider next to them, and there are 2 types of errors). The first is: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. The other is 1120: Access of undefined property _root. The key parts of the code (I think) are the button names, and slider_mc., a little black square that slides up and down the height of the menu. All of the buttons are button symbols, each with a unique name. I read that to fix the 1119 error, I can convert them to movie clips, but then they no longer function as buttons (which is sort of the point).
I try to create a dynamic web gallery in flash that feeds it's content from a XML DB, so it's easy to update and maintain the gallery (right?!). What I have, is the gallery specs in the flash movie itself:

movieW = 650;
movieH = 600;

and then the gallery process - so how can I subsitute this for a XML DB?

This is what I have between the tags:[code]I didn't put the mxml controls but there is a browse button (id="selects_btn") and a label (id="label_txt") under the button that displays various status messages.I tried adding the init function to the component's creationComplete event.

In AS2 to create a URL that would change depending on the current movie being viewed I would create variable and use this to make up the path, I can't get this working in AS3, what do I need to do to make this work?I have Code:var fileReq3:URLRequest=new URLRequest(currentPath);var currentPath:String = "mainImages/imageA.jpg";Then on my buttons I want to just reset the currentPath to image a b c and so on.When I publish my swf I get an error #2007 parameter must not be null
View 8 RepliesThis may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.

Then create a Flash app that will populate the XML to be used via Flash app.Currently...I have a Flash app that brings in XML data, but we have to manually put in the data into the XML file. I would like to create another app that will allow people who don't want to get into the XML file to be able to input that data into a Flash GUI and click on a 'submit' button that will populate the XML file automatically.

I am trying to make a generic multiple choice quiz, with questions to be loaded from an xml file. The hope is that I can give it to teaching colleagues as a resource, and they can create their own questions by just altering the xml file, as none of them know how to use flash. I can make all of it work beautifully for just one xml file's worth of questions, but I'd like to enable people to save several different xml files with different questions, and choose which one to use in the first frame of my swf. Here's what I have in the first frame, where there is simply a text input box (inputxml) and a 'Go' button.
Actionscript Code:
stop ();Go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);var chosenFile:Stringfunction fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame(event:MouseEvent):void{Go.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
chosenFile = inputxml.text;

View 2 RepliesI know I can call my server directly from javascript. However, I want to do this through a non-GUI SWF file. I'm fairly new to Flash but have gotten all the CS3 tools from work. Does anyone know of any examples on:
1. how to make a web request from within flash provided the URL, post content, and timeout
2. how to call a Flash API from javascript asynchronously
3. how to detect whether the browser being used can support my SWF (I don't want it to prompt to install Flash if they don't have it yet)
I'm actually hoping someone has already done this and has a sample already built.

View 2 RepliesSay i have a SWF file loaded inside a Flash , which i do not have the source code for, and I want to redirect all the requests inside that SWF to another address(or block them, then read the request parameters and just send new requests with the exact same parameters from inside the container object). Is that possible? And if so, how? Once again, I do not have the source .fla for the files loaded inside the container, and recreating them from scratch is not an option. So this, to me, seems like the easiest way.
