Actionscript 3.0 :: Use Flash To Retrieve The XML?
Mar 17, 2009
1. Create a XML/PHP driven menu that uses PHP to generate a XML file with database results.
2. Use flash to retrieve the XML and dynamically add movie clip, menu buttons that have label values, IDs, and whether or not the menu item is published from XML, to the menu.
I found some code from a tutorial that took XML data and added a movie clip to the stage, added a label, and an ID; however, I could not get it to get a URL property to the button and initiate the navigateToURL to actually get the unique variable to come from the XML to each instance of the button. I have attached the ZIP file with the original tutorial AS file.

Our scenario is that we have a visualisation in a flex .swf that we load data into (through a web service call). Once the data has been loaded we would like to use the resultant image in a PDF.I can send an image of a DisplayObject back to the server as a PNG and put it into a PDF (using iText), but the png is not scalable and it looks bad in the PDF at different zoom levels.To add a bit more clarity. The visualisations are not vector graphics that we import or embed during development, they are charts and trend graphs and custom visualisations created through the flex/flash drawing API, at runtime, based on data retrieved from the server.

I had a developer who has been working on [URL]. He build it using all flash. I need to make changes on the website, but it seems like he is out of business. They don't answer their phones or emails. The website is hosted on their server, and I don't have the FTP details. I can mirror or copy my site onto my local computer, and re upload the site to a real company. I have access to my domain, so I can just point it to a new server after I have downloaded the website files to my computer.

I've got a simple YouTube API client put together, written in Flex, that uses a plain ol' URLRequest object to handle Google's "ClientLogin" authentication scheme. Everything works perfectly, except for one case: when Google responds with a 403 and a response body indicating that I should prompt the user for additional information (specifically, a CAPTCHA request).
The problem I'm having is that in this case, I need to be able to retrieve the body of the 403 response, as the body contains information Google expects me to use to assemble the CAPTCHA (e.g., an image URL, etc.). It looks like Flash fails to populate the URLLoader's data property when it encounters a 403 (which is where the response body would normally show up), so I can't tell the difference between a "403: Login Failed" and a "403: Login Succeeded, but We Want a CAPTCHA".
As a backup, I figured I'd have a look at as3crypto's TLSSocket code, but I haven't been able to make any of that stuff work with Google (or even one of my own SSL certs, for that matter).
Is it possible to access the body ofa 403 response with Flash (and if so, how)? And if not,Does anyone have personal experience with a suitable workaround?

I am building a flash app to retrieve XML data which depends on what a user searches for. The following as3 code places an input field and submit button which allows a user to type in a postcode into the input box and click search and what should be returned in a list of all the properties that have that postcode.
Code:
import fl.controls.Label;
import fl.controls.TextInput;
import fl.controls.Button;
var postcodeLabel:Label = new Label();
var postcodeTi:TextInput = new TextInput();
[Code] ....
However, this doesn't seem to happen. Instead an error is returned. I've never worked with flash and xml before so just taken the above xml bits from online websites but cant get it working.

I am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.
I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:
The class or interface 'com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy' could not be loaded.
The Javascript I want to retrieve the value from looks like:
<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[
function CheckIn(){
[Code].....
I just need to pass the returned value into a variable within Flash.

I am trying to retrieve some information back from my LMS and into variables in Flash with AS3. I used to be able to do this without any problems in AS2, but can't seem to find a way to make this work in AS3. In AS2, publishing with the "Flash with SCORM 1.2 Tracking" option, I could call a line like the following:
fscommand("LMSGetValue", "cmi.core.student_name,_root.stuname");
This would grab the student name from the LMS and store it in Flash in the variable named stuname.
Any way to do this with AS3? I can set values back to the LMS no problem still through fscommand such as score or completion, I just can't get anything back from the LMS such as student name or lesson location.

Old Computer: RAM 128
Browser IE 6 along with Panda Antivirus
I just reinstalled the entire operating system Microsoft XP last night (package 3 was updated today). The O/S installed Flash 9. But, I went through all of this last November and saved the installation program. I went to a website that said I needed to upgrade to version 10.1 and allowed me to click on it. It would open a page to adobe where I could then choose how to download it (cuz I knew I needed to uninstall the 9 first). But this website automatically downloaded and tried to install the new one before I got the old one uninstalled!
So, I cancelled the installation and then uninstalled the version 9. But, when I tried to go back to adobe to install the version 10, the above message was spit out at me (causing me to "spit bullets" of my own!). I've tried to install it again but when I go to the download page, it just sits there and does nothing. I'm assuming my problem was caused by a "crossover" between the attempted installation of version 10 and the uninstall of version 9. The flashplayer version 10 worked perfectly fine on this same exact computer/system until today!

I was saving something on Flash when it crashed on me. Now I can't open it anymore, even though it still exists on my computer. I click on it to open it and Flash tells me that it has 'failed to open' it. I really don't want to start over again because it means another week of missed sleep and meals. Is there any way I can retrieve the document? I was using Flash CS5.

Am I using TwitterScript to retrieve Twitter data for inside a Flash site. Due to Twitter's crossdomain policy, I need to setup a php proxy...Firstly I made a simple one
<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
readfile($url);
?>
but I then get this error
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
which is only resolved by getting my host to turn fopen() on, which I don't want to do.
Then I found this
<?php
function get_content($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();

My swf will potentially live on sites with embed codes that do not allow script access to the movie. I need to pull a cookie from response which is typically simple using javascript, but as the swf does not have access to script, javascript is not an option. Can I access cookies or the cookie header in the response? If that is not possible is there any access to the raw response, headers and all?

I am newie to Flash and actionscript. However, I have some years of programming experience, Java, VC++, JSP, ASP, and etc.Now, I have a project to about E-Business. I want a method to embed some data into a flash then retrieve it later. The idea is that I want some secure protection for the data embeded, then the data (maybe audio, video, or photoes) is encrypted first (so the data is changed) and embeded into the flash. When the viewer want to view the flash, it will be prompted to input a password, then the flash will try to use the password to decrypt the data and let the flash player show it.
