Trying to get data from php to swf using sessions, but have a bit of a problem. Here, I create the session
Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == 'submitform')
{
$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?
When I login a new session is generated. How can I later know for which login the session was generated? I am getting the session value, but how do I know which user the session is for and redirect him to that page?
View 1 RepliesSince 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.

$('.fileUploadify').uploadify({

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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesSo 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.
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.

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.
View 1 RepliesHow 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.
I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]

View 1 RepliesIm trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script.

Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:
View 1 RepliesIn flex 3 I have a hierarchical data structure. I would like to display the content of it in a tree. My problem is that I have nodes which data calculated from children nodes. How to structure the hierarchy to make automatic changes to those parent nodes, if their children's data changed? For example:
Every node has a warning flag. If some of the children warning flag changed to true, then the parent warning flag should change automatically set to true. A node integer field is the sum of the children integer fields, and if any of the children changes, the parent integer field "calculates" the sum immediately. Is there an easy solution wit good structuring changes happen automatically, or I have to make some custom functions?

I've got a Gridcolumn in a Datagrid (Spark). The Column's dataprovider is a Number value that gets updated via Binding.Now, without an item renderer the cell displays the correct values.If I set an item renderer, I can't access the values in this renderer.My renderer looks like this, so nothing really do here (for now) but to trace the value, but the value is always NaN.

I found this Ravis (Birdeye), but not much of examples and support is available for that.
View 1 RepliesBeen butting my head against the wall on this one. Im making a news app that loads xml data and diplays the data onto 3 seperate textfields. The 3rd textfield has auto size set to true, so that the height of each instance of the attached movie is always going to be different from each other. I need to figure out how to get the height from each instance of the attached movie and use those numbers for the verticle tiling so that they dont run into each other.
heres what I got so far. Its the "duke news" box. If you scroll down in the news box, you will see that the text starts running into each other.
