Actionscripts :: Wrappers For The LocalConnection For C# Or Java?
Jun 19, 2009
I want to communicate with the LocalConnection framework of Flash via C#/Java/C++. My search for already implemented wrappers was not as successfull as I wish ;). There exist several servers (like FluorineFx) which support binding of C# objects to the LocalConnection. The problem is I am not looking for a server but only for a simple (marshalling of strings is enough) wrapper. After reading the AMF specification that implementing my own wrapper might take some time ;) which leads to my question: Does anybody knows a simple wrapper (C#/Java/C++) for the LocalConnection framework?
The first one (FLEX application) sends a message on a dedicated LocalConnection to a second one (Flash application). The Flash then answers by sending a message on another dedicated LocalConnection. This message is not directly received by the FLEX and the delay is at least 30s, up to 1 or 2 minutes! It seems the issue only occurs with Flash Player >= 10 and it never occurs with Chrome.
I didn't find anything on the web concerning a similar issue nor something in Flash Player release notes. Did someone already have this kind of problem?
By the way, is there any tool that can be used to sniffer LocalConnection communications?
Additional information:
swf are located in different frames swf are embed with swfobject I tried to delay the Flash sending, I tried to create another LocalConnection dedicated to this call but I always had same result: for all calls, the FLEX method is called after the same delay. I also put a timer in FLEX to periodically log to see if there is no background process delaying the method processing but everything seems fine
I'd like to create a remote object service class such that I can encapsulate multiple service operations. These service calls get executed in many places and it would be nice to encapsulate their functionality. For example, something like
I am a .NET Developer, but the question I am having is not related to .NETPlease keep this in mind even if my question sounds very trivial.This is my question:We have an swf in the browser, which communicates with a java extensionIts done using Smartfox Server(Used for MMO apllications)From the swf we are grabbing a portion of the screen as "Byte Array" in action script(3).And in Java, we are calling a function that converts the ByteArray to Image and then saves it.ur Java developer is encountering the errorSo basically, what I would like to know is this:How to accept the object type Byte Array from ActionScript in Java?Whats Java object type that is mapped to Byte Array in ActionScript?The conversion part is easy, I dare say. code in the ActionScript Section
public function savePhoto(uName:String, ba:ByteArray, descr:String):void{ var obj:Object = {}; obj.arr = ba;
I tried with flex and java in the backend. In this, I am able to upload files till 100 MB using remote object (blazeDs) where we will read the file as byte array and send it to the java method. If the file size exceeds after that, then I get the run time error in IE.
I could play MIDI file where "filename" is a String type with "asd.mid" value. However, I tried to sent AIR's nativeprocess command to Java, it shown "could not read" error.
I have a client-server multigame suite for PC ("kind of" cross-platform using cygwin), which is developed in Java(game menus and database management), C++ (server side), and adobe Flash (game graphics & interaction).
I have never tried to develop for android, so i have no experience.I am thinking of migrating this suite to google TV. So i would like someone with android experience to give a clue on the following :
1) Is it going to be easy to migrate the Java application to an Android application?
2) What kind of Flash support does Android have? Can it load directly swf applications? Does it have to load swf's through browser?
3) Can i find any kind of performance indexes for google TV hardware?
I need to load somehow the html code of a webpage A into a javascript string of another webpage B, on a different host. I know this is impossible to do with javascript alone because of the same origin policy, and I know I could do it loading the page via php on my server and then send results back to the user's client but I wouldn't be able to handle so many requests, so I need it to be done directly by the user's browser. I can use nearly whatever browser scripting language/applet framework common enough to be installed on the majority of my users' computers, like flash and java.On example, what if I use flash or java to load the external html code and then call a javascript callback function providing the source? Could this work?
I am using Flex 3 and make a call through a RemoteObject to a Java 1.6 method and exposed with BlazeDS and Spring 2.5.5 Integration over a SecureAMFChannel. The ActionScript is as follows (this code is an example of the real thing which is on a separate dev network);
If one doesn't have the source code, the only to test is to send keystroke and mouse move so I found this product but it's not free and opensource price is not even known :([URL] Squish supports automating interactions and testing non-HTML/DOM elements, that is, native objects, which are embedded in a web page. This is done at a fairly abstract level, which means that mouse and text input can be recorded and replayed.
In addition it is possible to inspect embedded native objects with the Spy tool and to insert verifications for these native objects. All of a native object's public properties can be accessed in test scripts.
I'm building a Facebook multiplayer game where the client side is in FLEX and the server side is in Java and I wanted to know if there is a guide on how to build the server clients managing system. When I say server clients managing system, I mean a server which many clients will connect to and will be able to choose between tables to join and play or to create their own table, same way as in texas holdem poker.
i am working on a flex+java combined project.My IDE and computer configuration is as follows:
[Code]...
When i make a small change in Flex code (eg, reposition of a button...anything), and run the project on server, it does make any change on output. Actually it depends on my luck... because it makes change in output randomly.what is is happening? tried rebuild, republish, clean , restart server, restarting the IDE, restarting the computer all available feature i could think. Also, i created a simple flex project on IDE and compiled it..... everything is compiled and displayed on output.
Right away i just try to explain my problem: Using BlazeDS i got the following Javaclasses:
[Code]...
Then i got a Flex service class calling BlazeDS and executing the getCategories java method. Since Flash dosn't seem to understand typed arrays, the result from that method which i get back in flex is a simple array of untyped objects (the mapping dosn't seem to work here, even tought the class category exists in flex and has the same properties). thats the first thing. but however, i'm converting the untyped objects manually into objects of the category.as class. the second thing is that categories have child-categories within the java object, which are also ArrayLists of the type category.java. the problem about that: my result event object only contains the first level of categories, looking into them the children are allways null. i dunno why they are empty, since they ARE part of the java object category.
and the third thing (the strangest by fast), you maybe noticed i named the properties of the category.java class strange, like idCat and nameTest instead of simply id and name. why that? because the property names of my flex result objects dont seem to change when i change the java objects properties names (result object properties are named "id" and "name" but the java class object properties are named "idCAT" and "nameTEST"). that it REALLY strange, since if i set the properties, like you see at nameTEST = "TESTNAME" it IS recogniced by flex, only the proertyNAMES dont seem to be recognized at all.
I am newer with flex technology.I am creating a chart using ant file & .mxml in eclipse my 'ant' file executes properly but it gives following error when i opens a .swf file which is created auomatically:
Flex Error #1002: Flash Player 9.0.115 and above is required to support signed RSLs. Problem occurred when trying to load the RSL
I'm coding a web app in flex blazeds and Java. I installed the Eclipse plugins for using WTP mixed project. I'm using flex's server that uses an emulate of tomcat when i ran my flex service the web app got the datas, everythings is ok. the problem is when i copy the project with all files generated by flex in my tomcat or the blazeds's tomcat, it doesn't work, this is becasue i want to implement my app on a server the error is:[code] i don't know why tomcat doesn't find the class of flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint that is used for my-amf 'URL...'. all works well in the emulated server that flex has.
Assume I have the following java class public class Square {
[Code]...
Inside an actionscript class, using RemoteObject, I invoke the java method SquareDAO.findById(Long id) an I get an Object with the following: But I don't get the area. How can I invoke the method getArea() ?
I'm programming Rich web applications with Flex and Java on Flex Builder 3 using blazeDS and SharedObjects.Now I need that my program will use configuration file.so, I need that my Java class will read it at the first time but the default path of java to read and write files is c:program filesFlex Builder 3 and not my application directory inside the tomcat webapps directory How can I read the config file from the java class without write the path hardcoded in the java?
I have a relatively simple localConnection between three swfs: one swf is an image gallery; another swf controls the playback of the image gallery; and the third displays xml-driven captions from the image gallery.Everything works flawlessly in a PC environment, on all browsers, using AS 2, flash player 9. But when I test in a mac environment, the captions will display on load, but it will no longer show if you refresh the page; only a cache clear and refresh will bring it back, but the same issue will happen again. The navigation doesn't work at all, ever (though the swf is loaded and visible).
I have a Flash object on my site, which has this code:
this.ld = new LocalConnection(); this.ld.allowDomain("*"); ExternalInterface.call("alert", this.ld.domain);
It alerts my domain successfully. However, what I want is to access the HTML DOM through this using LocalConnection and not ExternalInterface directly.
I'm having a little issue with LocalConnection - trying to communicate from one SWF to another. From my main SWF I've loaded an external SWF of same dimensions ( effectively replacing the main SWF). What I wanted was then to re-load the main SWF, but rather than have the main SWF play from the start, I wanted to go to a specific frame instead (I used a frame label called "myMarker"). Thought LocalConnection was the way to go to achieve this. Gave it a shot and it all works well locally BUT when uploaded to server it doesn't work, but throws the following error:-
limits to number of SWFs that can establish local connection on MAC? The architecture is: One Manager ("server") and N number of other SWFs that communicate with the manager.When I embed more than 8 SWFs (manager + more than 7 dependents) and attempt to establish connection between them - only first 7 dependent swfs are capable to communicate with the manager on MAC (both Safary and FF). The rest are ignored. It doesn't seem to be an issue on PC where I went up to 20 and it worked (with some quirks of course). Is it a native behavior on MAC?
I did not check if number of connections is at stake (as opposed to number of swfs). There are 14 connections all together when 7 dependents are involved.
I'm having huge bug issues with LocalConnection that nobody seems to be able to find errors in my code/files. So... I'm looking for an alternative. I need a main swf file to load an external swf including the ability to have it move from one frame to another. If this isn't a possibility, I can also just have the main swf hide/reveal a div or just an image in the html.
i use LocalConnection between two swf in the same page.What i'm trying to do is to use a String sent from one swf to the other, as variable into my URLRequest...So i can trace "myVar" into the function chemin, but i didn't find how to use it into URLRequest
swf that receive the var :
var lc:LocalConnection=new LocalConnection(); lc.client=this; lc.connect("callBig");[code]....
I need dozens of AS2 Flash swfs I wrote to communicate with an AS3 swf. My code below is on the "wrapper" AS3 swf, which loads the lesson1_activity3.swf AS2 swf. This is then further nested into an Adobe Captivate-generated swf (that's what the rdcmndNextSlide method is for).
This configuration works the first time you see the wrapper/child swf together, but if you navigate back to the slide, the child swf doesn't load. I'm guessing that Captivate has all the objects still stored in memory, so it thinks I'm trying to declare var again, which I can't do. Is that it? Does anyone see the issue with my code that would make it work the first time the wrapper is loaded, but not subsequent times?
ere's what i'm doing and it doesn't seem to work, 1st movie, a button:
[AS] on (press) { function () {myLocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); myLocalConnection.send("Incoming", "onRecieve", MyID); myLocalConnection.close();}; [/AS]
where MyID is some variable
2nd movie, 1st frame:
[AS] myLocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); myLocalConnection.onRecieve = function(theID){ _root.test.gotoAndPlay(theID);}[code]...
now that doesn't work so i'm wondering what is wrong...
i've got 2 different .swf files on a html page, with 1 of e .swf being e menu and the other being the content_mc. I've been researching on localconnection but did not manage to find out how i could get e menu to send command to the content_mc to load the respective content upon being clicked (for example, when user click "services" in the menu, content_mc.swf will automatically be updated with the services content.
