I want to update a row in mysql when a user uses an application with flash. And when they exit that application, I want to change the row to reflect that the user has left. Is there a way to do this easily? Currently, I'm thinking of writing a connection manager with sockets.

We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

I'm developing a flash application that is getting information from a remote server using a URLLoader. I have a function that will create a request for information based on the product ID. When there is an error, I want to fall back to an alternate URL, but to create the alternate URL, I need to know the product ID. What is the best method to determine which URLLoader failed (and which product request failed) so that I can regenerate the new URL?
My functions are below:
function loadData(productID:String):URLLoader {
var productURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/path/to/product/" + productID);
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I'm trying to load the jpg out of an mp3 (I'm doing this in Flash, but that's neither here nor there), and I've pulled open a few MP3s in a hex editor and while the rest of the tag is pretty clear, the image part is a mystery. There is a label "image/jpeg" but then I expect something resembling a byte length for the image or a string key that demarcates the end of the image
View 2 RepliesI'm creating an online multiplayer game in which I want to prevent players from joining a game using multiple clients/accounts on one computer. I can't simply do a server sided check for the IP-address because I still want e.g. people in the same office to be able to play together.Therefore I'd like to generate some kind of computer ID/hash on the client which it sends along to the server. I know that is easily hackable, but it will stop at least those "cheaters" who can't or won't change their client software.Is there a way to generate such an ID/hash in my game client? It's made in Flash and AIR (there are two versions, browser and desktop).The value doesn't need to be globally unique, because I will check for IP-address + ID

View 2 RepliesWe have an old Flash application that has worked fine for years, but intermittently fails on latest versions of Firefox. Using the same version of the Flash Player, the application runs fine in Internet Explorer. Recompiling the product is risky, and I'm trying to fully understand the problem before resorting to that. I'd like to be able to point to a known browser or player bug, but I can't really say where the problem is yet.I've gather the following information using Charles Proxy:The Flash application gets a list of files it needs to load. It requests a file then waits until the Flash Plug-in dispatches an Event.COMPLETE before requesting the next file. During this process I can see the HTTP requests and server responses. When the application "hangs", Charles Proxy reports that the response actually completed; however, Firefox's status bar shows "Transferring ..."
Sometimes for an extended period, I can't recreate the problem at all. At other times, the hang-up happens over and over again.Finally, if we switch to using https instead of http, the problem NEVER happens. Because Charles Proxy shows Status Complete while Firefox shows that a Transfer is still occurring, I speculate that the problem is actually in Firefox. I believe that Firefox is failing to recognize when the file actually finished loading, and therefore it fails to tell the Flash Player. The end result is that our code gets no Event.COMPLETE from the player and cannot continue requesting files.
Is it possible to use JavaScript to detect whether a .swf file has loaded completely within a web page?Assume that the .swf file is pulled from a 3rd-party website and we don't have access to its source code.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find the best way to improve the user experience when interacting with a context menu in a Flex application. I already know that the context menu in Flex is quite limited in terms of how it is constructed and what it can show.
What I was hoping to do was to implement something similar to what Microsoft Word does in 2010 or later, where when right clicking a little floating palette is displayed above the common popup menu. I was hoping that there was a way to 1) listen for an event that is triggered when a context menu is displayed, and 2) determine the location of the context menu so that I could display a floating palette above the context menu as in Word. So far, I have not found out how to accomplish either of these things.
I suspect that there might be some focus and stage management issues with this approach generally, but I was hoping to at least get to the point where those issues were discovered.

It seems there are a lot of problems with sound control with flash, and i (now seeming studpidlY) decided to undertake a project where i can have multiple sounds at once, and turn them off (individually) at the click of a button.
see the code
Code:
function soundSelected(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
// Pushes the filename into a playlist array.;
[Code]....
Obviously there is more code but these are the two functions that deal with the playing of sounds, the adding of icons (that form a playlist of clips that are being played) and also to remove these icons.
Basically when i click a button, it play a song (depending on the .target.FileName which is declared elsewhere), it then adds a small icon to a navigation bar so the user can see easily which sounds are on (this is depending on the .target.IconNo which again is declared elsewhere). I then add an event listener to the small icon that is on the stage, that calls the removeIcon function.
At the moment it adds the small icon, then when i click the small icon, it removes it from the screen, how can i link it so that it stops playing the sound it refers too?
