ActionScript 3.0 :: Write Password Protected XML File?
Mar 8, 2010
I have my flash setup so that it stores information in an XML file. It grabs the current XML file and then appends the new data to the end of the XML file. It does this by using the short PHP file below:
[Code]....
The problem is that I want to make it so people can't just go and grab the data.xml file. How do I protect the data.xml file so that no one can access it unless it is accessed via the Flash?
I have tried messing with some .htaccess settings but can't seem to get it to work. I was thinking I could create some kind of .htaccess setting so that the data.xml file would be password protected and only the swf and php file could have access to it.
that is there any way to protect the Flash source (FLA) file with password. So that if any body wants to open the file in flash it should ask the password before opening.
i have the url of a password protected xml, and i need to load it in my application. but i can't figure it out how. i did find an example but it was in actionScirpt 2 and i'm having troubles coding it in 3.0.
ActionScript Code: var _login:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var loggedInXML = new XML(); loggedInXML.ignoreWhite = true;
Today, we can create password protected swfs using various content generation tools. When the user opens that swf, he/she needs to enter a password, and only then the encrypted swf can be viewed.Now, I am trying to load one such encrypted swf in a flex based AIR application, and I am using the SWFLoader class for that. But instead of the user entering the password, I want the application to provide the password at the time of loading the swf. Is this even possible? I tried googling, but nothing came up.
How can I access a password protected webservice from AS3 (compiled using flash ide, so not flex application)I tried just calling it straight like lso tried using this
var authHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic " + credentials); //add the header to request
earlier using flash action script 2..i have created many password protected pages but how can i create a secure password protected page using Actionscript 3.
I use the JQuery plugin Uploadify for uploading files. It works fine in all browsers. If however I imlement a passwort protection via .htaccess like this
AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Files" AuthUserFile /my/path/to/.htpasswd AuthPGAuthoritative Off Require user dev
uploadify stops working in Firefox. In Chrome it still works.
In Firefox the file select box works, but after I selected a file the progress bar does stay at 0% and the file is not uploaded to the server.
I guess the issue is somewhere with flash on password protected sites. how I can fix this, without removing the password protection?
without having to hardcode a username / password in my .swf file (very easy to decompile!), is it possible to send a URLRequest for some file (perhaps .php?) to a loader object which can load assets that reside in password protected directories?my PHP skills are weak at best, so if calling a .php script is the solution.
I have a Flash application that displays online e-learning tests. Once a user successfully logs in(via .net webservice) the app loads in XML files, images and audio files via Loader/URLRequest objects and uses the loaded data to render the test on screen.This all works fine but recently the decision has been made to put the XML and media files used by the tests in a password protected directory for extra security.I was wondering if anyone has any experience loading files into Flash from password protected folders. From what I can see online I could specify the username and password for the folder as HTTP request headers using a URLRequestHeader object and set the requestHeaders property of the URLRequest to this URLRequestHeader obj. But this only seems a possibility with the POST method and I am using GET.Also even with the POST method there seems to be issues with sending a HTTP Authorization header in player versions before 9.0.124Is what I am trying to do possible or is it not allowed due to Flash security restrictions?
I have planned to create an educational application / movie in Flash 8 (contains exercises and final tests etc.). I want to protect my application with username and password. The script inside movie should generate the password for given key say in my case username it will output the hex key which can be your password and no need to store it. cause you put same logic in your app which will generate the same hex key for same key i.e. is your username
I have a protected swf file we need to open for work but the one who protected it is no longer around. What is the best program to open this protected swf?
I'm attempting to load an external SWF that's hosted on a site into a local SWF file. The external SWF is in a password-protected directory using htaccess.
Here is the code I'm currently trying to use:
var loaderUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.my-website.com/externalFlashFile.swf"); loaderUrlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic
I have a silly little question. One specific page on a site I work on needs to be protected with logins and passwords. All it is, is a list with downloads - consisting of files for students. Both the list (htmltext) and the downloads are inside a protected folder.
My question is: What's the easiest way to include this into my flash site ? (the site is completely flash).
I initially had two ideas: One was to make a popup appear that loads the protected file, and when people don't have access, I can show them a self made error page.A nicer thing would be to have the text file load dynamically into flash, but when a user doesnt have access, they get directed to the same error page again...
I am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.
package { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class HelloWorldImage extends Sprite { private var background:DisplayObject, foreground:DisplayObject; private var url:String = "hw_jpg.jpg"; private var loader:Loader = new Loader( ); public function
i have a little projectim using flash pro cs 5 and the actionscript 3.0heres what im trying to do..a simple login / register screen for the front..i already got it a bit working with the login part.. (with planted IDs and Passwords)my problem is if a person registers or more than 3 person registers.. how can i store login names and password to a .txt file or .xml fileand if ever i got a way to store the data.. how am i going to make action script read the file and check if the user has enter the right password..
Im new at actionscript, and I am making a very project. Basicly, I have some thing were there is a page you can get to by beating other parts of the 'game'. I want to add some sort of a password or save feature to people can type in the password of something at the opening screen and jump to that page.
i am have big problems, im designing a login screen and it will require more than one user to be able to access differnt parts of the flash file. at the moment i am using IF statements.
[Code]...
there is no problem with this method but if a user wants to change there username how to change the script. the other thing is the flash file is being converted to a standalone .exe file so it's basically like a program. to get to the point I need to know if there is any way for the Actionscript to be able to read a .txt document so that when the username and password is changed in the .txt document flash will read it so when they enter the new username and password it will still allow them to access the files.
I want to write the bulk of data into xml file ,the data coming from the backend(mysql) using cgi by httpservice, read the xml file and bind it into list. can anyone send the sample code for this?
I've a flash project that's developed in Flash 3.0 and action script 3.0. My requirement is I need to print debug statementsinto a seperate text file. on the serverTo be in detail Let's assume that I need to print my debug statements inside the file can someone provide us with the sample codesnippet that prints stataments inside a text file?
I have a lot of clips that I am working on simultaneously, along with a very large project. I see that I can combine my work into a flash project, but I need to be able to write notes to myself in each .fla file I am working on. Is there something I am missing? I'd like to outline, check off what I have done, see what needs to be done etc.
I was wondering so long that how can people analyze the trait of each file extension (of course open it in notepad is not readable) For example, I want to write a program that can read everything from .fla file like timeline, movie clips, position of each MCs or all the motion tween values. And get the image embeded in it. (I'm planning to use flash as IDE for another project.)
(The reason that I tried to read proprietary format is I want to utilize their awesome editor. What I actually want to do is, I want to make an iOS game with cocos2d. There is a code to move things around in cocos2d but there is no decent editor. So I'd like to use Flash as an editor, then convert the motion to objective-C cocos2D code by reading the .fla file.)
