my flash application requests an xml information in a php site.... How would I monitor if my flash application is still requesting a data or not? because sometimes my application stops requesting
View 1 Replies
I just finished making a WCF service for a little hobby project.
[Code]...
When requesting data with:
<param value="data-file=http://url-to-my/json.script" name="flashvars">
via an SWF file, what request type would "http://url-to-my/json.script" receive. It doesn't seem to be a "xmlhttprequest". Is it the same as a request from a browser?
How would I set about loading an xml data file inside an AS3 application for iphone? Will there be a cross-domain issue for requesting data files from the device?
View 2 Repliesdeveloping an e-card system in AC2. The system mainly consists of two flash movies and is supported by PHP scripts and a mysql database for data storage.The first part is the create/edit screen where the users can upload a photo, mask any desired area and apply some simple transformations such as size, rotation, brightness. They can also select a card (an animated flash movie) and preview the animation and finally type a message for the recipient.The other part is the result screen where the finalised card is presented and the user can then email a link to it to other people or grab some code to embed it on another site. The link will point exactly to this page. An example of the embed code is the following:
Code:
<div style="width:444px">
<object width="444" height="493">

so I have a Track system with some kind of protection. So to get some data from any URL you have to pass protection like this [URL] and then (in browser) you can see some pages [URL] (if you havent passed login youll get no content)so how to login and get data from page using flash/actionscript (btw I am triing to create an rss reader)?
View 2 Repliesi Need to make sure that the Flash movie stops requesting the XML file once it has it. when a part of the xml is not defined it keeps requesting the xml file. i need it to cycle through but when something is undefined to stop trying to read the xml for the text or picture. so when i leave the home page open too long it kills the browser memory and crashes it.
View 3 RepliesI originally tried to capture, encode and upload the audio using Silverlight, but because of the lack of suitable client-side encoding options, I'm now giving Flash a shot (Flash has baked-in support for encoding to Speex).I think I've figured out how to capture and encode the audio... But now what was easy in Silverlight, is the challenge in Flash.My server-side is .NET: MVC2-I'm open to receiving the audio in whatever manner is best- REST, WCF..So that's my question: How could one upload binary data from Flash, to a .NET server-side endpoint
View 1 RepliesI am making rest calls with a urlload.load(urlRquest).
also
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/xml";
When I make the calls within the Flash IDE, I get HTTPStatusEvent.status = 400 (or whatever) when an error occurs. And the IOErrorEvent.data contains xml (or sometimes a string).
However, when I run the swf in a browser (Firefox Mac or PC), the HTTPStatusEvent.status = 0, and the IOErrorEvent.data is empty. (Interestingly in Safari Mac, I do get the 400 status, but still no data.)
I wrote an app using adobe flash builder that makes an http data service call to a website.
When I build and launch the app it loads in my browser (the address in the broswer is C:Userspath omyapp.html) and works perfectly. However, when I upload the app to my website or even launch it from outside the project build directory, the HTTP service call fails with the popup
Security error accessing url
Destination: DefaultHTTP
Of course I googled this error and realized it may have something to do with a 'crossdomain.xml' in my web root directory. I tried this and it continued to fail.
Below was my crossite domain file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.my_domain_for_http_service.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>
I'm using the free trial version of Adobe flash builder, but I do not see anything indicating that this has to do with the error.
Data from http service call is in xml format.
Occasionally I listen to online audio from a variety of sources with no problem. ccasionally when I try to do that I get a message (or a button) to download Flash 8.0.0. I have done that several times. Once the app is installed (as far as I know it is), I may then click on that audio file and up comes that same message/button again to d/l Flash 8.0.0. If I try to find Flash on my system, it is somehow not clear to me what I've found.
Let me try right now and see what comes up (I'll summarize): Using Spotlight my "Top Hit" says "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager." When I open that it gives me choices of Quit or Uninstall, but no version number. And if Flash 8 or later is indeed installed, how do I know where it is? (It may indeed be a plug-in somewhere but?) I also have here and there about 6 or 7 Flash-labeled folders. One for example in Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS4/Samples. One more in my Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder (though I use no Macromedia apps). Now let me check my plug-ins for (latest) Safari: There's a Shockwave Flash. There is this: "Verified Download Plugin from file VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin, but no further info. I also have Click to Flash 1.5.5.
I am building a FLEX web application that also has a payment module where the user needs to enter his credit card details.
The whole Flex application runs on HTTP. However, whenever the user lands on a page where we ask for credit card details, we want these details to be sent over HTTPS.In this page we need information from the model of the application, because it holds certain selection the user did, the state the application is in, etc.
Do I need to make this page a Module that runs on HTTPS?
Or can I just configure the specific 'credit card' services (we have a JAVA back end) so that these run on HTTPS?
Is there any way to use an Adobe AIR application as a local http server? i.e. Adobe AIR application listening to http://localhost:8020 and I'm able to use a browser to access the application? If I can, is it true or pseudo multithreading? Is there any library or code that I can look for?

I did an application here to record the user's webcam and store an .FLV at my applications folder. That's ok. But I want to retrive this .FLV using HTTP mode, to load the .FLV progressively, not by streaming. Got it? For example, if I record a user webcam called "myWebcam": myVideoClass.load("[URL]");
Using http (progressively), not rtmpt (streaming). There is some way to do that? Or to move the file from applications folder to webroot?

I am a beginner using AS3. I'm trying to set up a simple Flash SWF validation of 2 text input boxes' data. In one box the user enters a username and in the second box they enter a password. This is sent to an ASP page which checks the name and password with a SQL Server database on my site. If their name and password are in the database, then the ASP send back to the SWF, "YES" and if not, "NO". The AS3 could then use an if/else: if "YES" then gotoAndPlay(2), or else display a message.The ASP script/page is completed. I've tested it with another program, and it works to check the DB and get back data.My AS3 is not working.e AS3 script to get it working.Here's the script so far. It get a trace of: [object URLRequest]. So I do not get any data back.

nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextBtnClick, false, 0, true);

I'm trying to do something such as:
Code:
var n:Node = openList.shift();
I know that all of the data contained inside openList is a type of Node object, but Flash returns an error. I don't know how to typecast such as placing (in another language)...
Code:
(Node) openList.shift();
...to tell Flash that the data returned will be a Node object.
Better yet, is there a way to specify, while declaring the array, the type of the data that will be placed in it?
I could just take the :Node tag out from my variable declaration, but this might be in a tutorial, so I should at least act like I believe half the stuff about proper coding I write about
I have a function and it accepts an argument, it can be a MovieClip or an Array. How can I determine what the type is of the argument? I did an attempt, but it didn't work, my code currently looks like so:
Code:
var peopleArray:Array = new Array("Alfred", "Bob", "Casper", "David");
function myFunction (givenArray:Object) {
if (givenArray.dataType == Array) {
trace ("This is an array");
// do stuff where an array is needed

I am doing that because when i launch any update then application is accessing old data which conflict with my application new features.
I can retieve the data using standard http however the data will be required to connect to a https connection only.How do i go about doing this.I've looked a on the internet and cant find anything, The only thing i've found is crossdomain but i don't think im on the right lines with that.The flash movie will be exported and ran as a projector file rather than a thml embed swf.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a diet checker that users enter their recipe into an input field and compares it to an external text file with a list variables of ingredients and then underlines or highlights certain ingredients that would not be good to eat.
I need to check this input box for certain words and see if there are specific words before or after those words.The word "egg" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined as a bad ingredient but "egg white" would NOT have the "egg" part highlighted The word "fried chicken" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined but "baked chicken" or "broiled chicken" would NOT be highlighted The external variable text file lists the words I'm searching for and the words to replace them with but, the code I have cannot yet determine if the word "white" is after the word "egg" and then not have the "egg" part of the phrase underlined.
I'm new to Flex and couldn't figure out yet how to send binary data to the server as the body of a POST request. The HTTPService component doesn't seem to support this. The FileReference doesn't seem to support setting the data via the Flex API.
View 4 RepliesKnow how to we store data for flash application? As im not using any server-side script, it is not possible to connect to database right? 2 things i managed to found by google it are SharedObject and XML. But later i found that it is not possible to modify data in XML using flash without any server-side script. For sharedobject, it seems not possible if i want to store the information of a list of users, as the instance of shared object can only hold the latest data.
