I want a Flex UI to send a string of text to Rails which will process and return a string of text. Wash, rinse, repeat. That's all I want. All of the examples I am finding are much more complex and not very informative given my noobiness.

How do I control what parameters are passed in a RemoteObject method? I noticed that when I directly download and run the code from this site, saving an object results in the following parameter set being passed back:

I have a rails app that records a video from the webcam. After the video file is saved on the flex server, I need to create a record on the database calling the create action on my rails app from Flex. How can I achieve this? I need a url with params to be called. I think the authenticity_token is necessary to post data.
View 1 RepliesI want to implement an application in Flex/Rails in Background as I know these two languages but I'm fairly beginner with Flex and Intermediate-to-expert with Rails. My application will display a calendar like object by which there are say 5-day week or 7-day week or a month (30-days) and in each day there will be some data such as appointments or such. I want users to be able to drag left or right to get more days after or before the displayed week for example and I want the boxes to be filled with proper appointments data.
What is the best way to implmenet this in your opinion, mainly from Flex point of view? Any architectural tips from the Rails side?

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a way to upload images that were created in my flex app to rails. I've tried to use paperclip, but it don't seem to work. I've got this tutorial here: [URL] The problem is, that they are using a FileReference to browse for files on the clients computer. They call the .upload(...) function and send the data to the upload controller. But I'm using a URLLoader to upload a image, that is modified in my Flex-App. First, here is the code from the tutorial:

We have a Rails 3 app using session-based authentication (modified acts_as_authenticated), and a Flex app that needs to be embedded in an html.erb template. The Flex app needs to access routes that have a before_filter set to check if the user is logged in. When interacting with the HTML site, this causes the user to be redirected to a login page, then sets a Rails session property (tied to a cookie) to record that the user is logged in when making future requests.The Flex app needs to access XML that's generated by Rails (behind the before_filter) and I don't want to force the user to log in twice -- what should I be passing as a flash parameter to the Flex app so that it can present as "already logged in" if that session exists (ie, the user has logged in via the HTML interface)?

How can we include (nicely) a swf file in a Rails application?By the way, I tried the swf_fu plugin but it didn't work. When I call my swf file located in the swfs directory, it tells me that the method is not found:
View 1 RepliesI am a rails noob. I am having a problem conceptualizing how assets work in an authenticated system. All of the tutorials I've seen so far talk about putting your swfs in the public folder and embedding them in your view. However, the swf I'm using is a flex gui that should only be used by users logged-in through restful-authentication. I imagine that putting the gui into the public folder would be defeating the whole purpose of having an authentication system. So what is everybody doing to restrict access to this kind static content?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to embed a flash file onto the homepage of my Ruby application. The homepage is in /app/view/home, and the flash file is in the projects /public/flash/myflash.swf.When I load the home page, I don't see anything, although the text is bumped below a square of the proper size I defined the file as.The code I am using to try and load the file is
<div id="flashContent">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="346" height="383" id="Blox" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="/flash/Blox.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
[code]....
I am thinking that either I am calling the file wrong by using value=/flash/Blox.swf, or that I am storing my flash file in the wrong place period. How can I get my flash file to load?
I am in the process of building a rails/flex application which requires audio to be recorded and then stored in our amazon s3 account. I have found no alternative to using some form of RTMP server for recording audio through flash, but our hosting environment will not allow us to install anything like FMS, Red5, etc.
Is there any existing Ruby/Rails RTMP solution that will allow audio recording? If not, is it possible for Rails to at least intercept the RTMP stream and then I can hope to reference red5's source or something for parsing the data (long shot, I know)?The other alternative I can think of is hosting a red5 server on another host and communicating with our rails app once the saving/uploading is done, which is not preferred.
Having problems embedding my .swf file in rails 3.1. In past versions of rails I'd use swfobject and simply do:

I need to include a feature on an app I'm building that allows the user to upload an image and manipulate it in various ways including adding text. This is basically a way to design custom printed merchandise as is already found on many websites and will be overlayed on a background image of whatever is being customised e.g. T-Shirt.The basic requirements are: resize, crop and rotate image against background. Overlay and change position/colour/style of text against image. Preview the final design against the background.
I know that flash is possibly the best solution but I was really hoping to avoid it and use Jquery instead. While there is plenty out there for resizing and cropping images with javascript there doesn't seem to be anything that fits my needs.

Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
i'm able to display xml content on my swf file but how can I send the changed xml file back to my rails Server?
