ActionScript 3.0 :: Build A Secure Login Area On A Flash Website?
Feb 28, 2012
I'm trying to build a secure login area on a Flash-AS3 website. I've managed to create the login form and pass data to a PHP script which checks them.
1) I know that in PHP I can echo some infos that can be get from AS3. In this case I suppose to echo something like "success" or "failed" to give an answer to the login attempt. Is this way of communication secure? Can anybody sniff this content and force AS3 to behave like if login was successful?
2) Suppose that PHP-AS3 communication has been secured. What should I do now? May I simply show admin pages hidden before? Is it the correct way? Is it secure?
I'm trying to build a secure login area on a Flash-AS3 website. I've managed to create the login form and pass data to a PHP script which checks them. Now I've got some questions.

I would like to create a secure login section for a website. I have managed to build up an AS3-PHP communication where PHP checks user credentials. I am already providing data enchryption between AS3 and PHP but I would like to add some further security. Is it possible to implement a HTTPS login section?
how could i make a login form for people to use to login to a certain area?? like for instance on this website [url]..... at the bottom he has a client login form....how could i do that?
I have an AIR app in AS3 that connects to an online database, checks the login details for the user account, and logs in if all is good. Once logged in, the user can update database info, plus overwrite files in their user directory. So far it's working fine.
Problem is, I've only got it set up to send the raw login data. Once the php receieves it, it's hashed to check the hashed version in the database, but is there a way to hash and then unhash a password sent from an AIR app? Or a way to use https?
Also, regarding sessions, if you have a seesion in a browser, the session closes automatically when the browser closes, right? So how do you make a session close that you've opened via an Air app? I guess you could trigger a close from certain actions within the app, + when the app closes, but say the app crashes, or the computer crashes - will your session still be floating around out there open?
I was wondering what the best route to take for making a login. The idea is to have the user login with their username and pass on frame 1. If the username and pass exist in the MySQL database then the user will be moved to frame 2. What would be the best way of achieving this? I know AMFPHP is old and I have heard to use ZENDAMF instead, but it seems that any recommendations are 2+ years old when I searched Google.
I have a html pages in which user is logged onin one page he can use swf movies but that movies need to know which user it isso I need to pass vars to swf (username), but that can be problembecause anyone could open swf with submitting username to swfso I need somehow secure user var pass to swf at startif
i recently had a look to the tutorial for custom authentication within a flex application. The login is managed by getting the ChannelSet from a RemoteObject:
private function creationCompleteHandler():void { if (cs == null) cs = ServerConfig.getChannelSet(remoteObject.destination);
[Code]....
After that the channlset can be used with the login command of ChannelSet. How can i insure that this is using a secure connection? I know that there is a amf channel and a secure amf channel. But how to tell to provide the credentials in a secure connection?
I've been messing around trying to figure out how to build a Flash login using PHP, MySQL, and AS2. Can't seem to get it working. What I want is, if the username and password match up with entries in the database, the user is taken to frame 2 of the movie. If the u/p doesn't match up, they're taken to frame 3 where a login failure message appears.
I am trying to write a secure login using flash. I worked out that the login must be separate from the protected content otherwise a decompiler will get round it very quickly. At the moment I have a login swf that posts variables to a server side script which then creates a session for a valid user.
The idea is to then forward on to the protected content. However I am unsure how to pass the users info to the swf so a user could not modify before the swf gets it and thus see another members content or what I can do to stop someone just accessing the content directly by just knowing the swf file's location.
Is flash (actionscript 2.0) secure enough to use for a website that holds personal info, password, restricted areas, ect. How can I make it secure enough if it's possible.
Not sure if this better for stackoverflow or apple.stackexchange.com (as there is a programming angle and a apple angle) so hopefully this is the right place. i need to build a website that normally would need to be done in flash (because of the requirements for animation) but the owner wants to run this site on ipad and iphone. i thought that all of the iOS stuff didn't support flash but looking into the adobe flash website here, it says that it has iOS support.
Can someone please clarify if iPad, iPhone will support a website if i create it in flash If it doesn't, then does anyone know what it means on the link that it has support for Apple iOS ??
Or use flash in an html container? I know it really depends on what the site is about so for this site it will eventually be an ecommerce site selling clothing.If I construct the site with flash, how big should the page properties be when setting it up?
use it for my final project to graduate with a CS degree. I did some basic animation type stuff around 5 years ago in school but nothing major. I want to make a website for a non-profit organization for my project. I know what I want to do, but I need to give my advisor an estimate of how many hours it will need to complete it.Here is a general outline of tasks I want on the website:Message boardBlogEmbedded videoPhoto galleryArchived newsE-commercestoreGuestbookCounterPollsApplications - games, instant messenger type thing (if I have time)
I am new to the community and to web designing and I want to learn how to build a flash website. I am looking for the basic and/or easier way to build a flash website with the links and animations to it.
I build a web site in flash using lables and one of the lables is video. I put video in the video label. When I click to go to anyother label, the video is still playing. what code I would write when I click off the video label the video would stop playing. It sounds like some if statement.
My website will be basically selling services; will my SEO ranking still be affected if I embed the Flash site in a blank html page? I am at that critical point where I am ready to upload the site but I am just having second thoughts about the ease of doing business with Flash.
how to create an area on my flash website that is editable by others? I'd like them to be able to add photos online. So... a photo album type thing?how to achieve this? I'd like to have the uploaded images specified / limited area space (eg.75 pixles x 75 pixles) so the user could see it online after it's been uploaded. I use flash 8.
I've been working on a login for my AS3 website and I keep running into this issue where my novie gets stuck at "loading..." as you can see if you go to this websiteand try to create an account. I have a login.swf, a login.as, login.php, and newAccount.php all in the same directory folder. I've cleaned up some of the more obvious coding errors, but I'm a design guy thrown into a coding job... Errrr, not so fun. I'll post the contents of the files below , even though I'm pretty sure that's a no no...ogin.as
We are planning a desktop client application with Adobe AIR. The client app will be delivered to our customers with a database, which contains monthly updated marketing data provided by our company. As different customers will buy different sets of data from us, for example, a customer is only interested in marketing data in a specific product category, while another customer need all data in a certain region. After a customer installs this client app, new data will be emailed to the customer every month.
So, the requirement is to keep the data accessible only by the customer who bought it. After reading through AIR's secure local store and database encryption feature, I came up with the following design: each customer will have his own secret key (stored in AIR's secure local store), the secret key is used to encrypt the data that the customer has purchased. Of course, the monthly data that we sent to the customer will be encrypted using the same secret key. So my questions are: is AIR's database encryption and secure local store secure enough for this use case? If someone gets the encrypted database file, can he decrypt the DB?
what I want to do is from my application, login to a website and retrieve information from my login and populate the relative fields on my screen, be able to make a change on my app screen then upload the changes to the website. To be able to make changes from an app would be a great help and save a lot of time rather than constantly logging into the website through a browser.
I've searched a lot on google regarding logging into websites but haven't had much luck in finding something I can use. It seems like a simple idea but it's obviously not something people use often.
I have a need to build a flash login page. No big deal, but I need to have six seperate login accounts. For example: Username: user1 Password: pass = link to [URL] Username: user2 Password: pass = link to [URL] Username: user3 Password: pass = link to [URL] and so on for up to six users.
Again the usernames and passwords would not change, but need to redirect the particular user to a certain page. stop(); var user_input = ""; var pass_input = ""; login_button.onRelease = function(){ if(user_input == "user1" && pass_input == "pass"){ getURL([URL], "GET"); }else{ gotoAndStop (3); }}
What I'm trying to do: build a super simple button skin (say a small circle when in up state, slightly larger circle when in over / down states) that has a larger mouse hit area than visible area. In other words, I'd like the button to look like a 5x5 circle when in up state, but transition to over state when the mouse is in a 15x15 pixel area around such circle - in order to make clicking on the button easier.
What I've done in the past is to use a transparent ellipse behind the the visible ellipse. This works nicely but seems like a waste of memory (not much, although if you start having a lot of these buttons it adds up) and rendering cycles (transparency). I thought I could avoid this by wrapping the ellipse in a group with a given size and listen to its mouse events, but somehow no mouse events seem to fire on such a group - not sure why.
I guess I'd love to know if anyone knows an efficient way to do this. Also would love to know why such a group won't fire mouse events, but I guess that's secondary. Simple code snippet below:
i want to see if these "build a." flash sites (to support a user customized ordering process) are done using regular flash or Flex?
[Code].....
All of these "walk a user" through a customized ordering process and capture all of their selection and showing them all of their customizations (and ultimately bring them to a final ordering screen). What's going on under the hood on these sites and are built in flash or flex? Is the person creating a separate image for every combination that you could possibly select or is something else happening here?
I still can't figure out if Flex or Flash is better for something like this. (why does adobe make these seemingly basic questions so complicated) Are there any good resource or tutorials for try to build this type of functionality in flash on a website?
I would like to build an interactive tamagotchi to have @ my website. U know any tutorials up for this?
Or maybe a tutorial or code for how I can make a object change by time in flash. And go back to previous frame if you click an button or something (feed it)
I was at a friend's house and wanted to show him our website. When I navigated to it, about 10% of the area outside of the stage was visible. It was almost as if the swf had been shrunk by 10%, but still within the stage area (750px x 600px). I'm not sure what's causing it, but I've seen it happen once before with a computer here at our office.
It always seems to happen with Internet Explorer. When we right-clicked on the swf and choose "show all" it filled the area and looked normal. I've never encoutered the problem using Firefox and only some of the time when using Internet Explorer. Not sure if it just happens with a certain version of IE or what.[URL]..
I am kind of new to javascript/html5. normally I would do that kind of stuff inside flash/as3. but since the iPad doesn't support that I need to switch the horse...I want to build a website where words are floating in position and size and if the mouse comes over one word it should draw some lines to all the other words. are there any frameworks one could use? the whole should look like a tag cloud with lines between the tags.
