IDE :: Flash Pages And Communication Handling

Apr 28, 2009

I am having mainly 2 problems in Flash for some time and I need some clarifications on them.

1. Handling pages.
How do I handle working with pages in Flash? Do I create a frame for each page and place the content of the page in that frame and when needing to go to a page I simply go to it's frame? Or do I use ActionScript to put and remove content from the stage and create every page in this way? What I mean by this is: if a page has a menu and a picture, I use ActionScript to put the menu and the picture there. If the next page has some text and a button, I use ActionScript to remove the menu and the picture from the last page and put the text and the button from the new page.

The first method seems simpler but that means that if the page has some content that needs to be loaded (a picture, for example), this content will need to be loaded every single time the page is opened.

The second method requires more work but is it more efficient ? When I remove the content from the page, do I move it to a negative x and y so that it cannot be seen or do I remove it completely and just load it again the next time the page is opened?

2. Handling a flow communication with PHP.
I constantly need to communicate back and forth with PHP. I use a LoadVars variable to send data to PHP (using "POST") and I use an XML variable to retrieve data from PHP (I use the "sendAndLoad" method). The data sent by PHP is in an XML structure. The problem here is that I need to have different channels working. I need to receive several different types of data. Do I create a set of LoadVars and XML variables for each type of data that I need to receive or do I simply use only the one set and use an ID variable to specify with which type of data I am working at the moment ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Handling Communication Between Flash And Server-Side

Jul 19, 2011

Need to find a way for Flash to talk to an ASP.NET server-side script and save some product information directly from Flash into a customer shopping cart...but, how are people handling this communication between Flash and the server-side C#? I want my Flash .swf to browse products and add them to the cart from within' Flash securely. Currently people can browse / Sort the products, but how are people passing information to the Flash movie securely? How are people handling information like session variables? What are people using to use Flash as their only interface tool for logging in, or accessing their account information through a Flash interface?

Professional :: Flash And ASP.net Communication

Mar 7, 2011

I recently made a mp3 player in Flash. I have an aspx page that has the mp3 player in it as well as a .net button which is disabled on page load. The .net page tells the audio player waht file to play and the player plays. What is supposed to happen next is when the audio player reaches the end of the file the button on the aspx page is supposed to become enabled. I am not sure how to do this [have Flash tell the aspx page that it is done playing].

Php :: Php-Flash Communication Over Sockets?

Nov 5, 2009

I am not any kind of network programming pro, but it happened that I have faced necessity to develop socket-server on php (no way for using Java) for flash multiplayer browser-game (standard features like locations, team battles, etc).

The main problem is that TCP is point-to-point protocol and it completely occupies given port.Of course it is possible to create some kind of queue, which will manage connections to the socket, but this solution doesn't seems to be the fittest one.

It seems to me that using interval of "fair" ports (from 2000 to 2200, for example) is more fitting solution, because one request may take a lot of time to execute and players won't be happy to wait in queue.

But how can I implement this "port inteval" strategy?The solutions that I see are:

launcing php-script per every port (he-he, 2 hundreds of launched scripts!);somehow forking the initial process to new processes (2 hundreds of processed? Not nice too), one for every port;additional while-loop, which listens all the ports (looks very bad);using threading or something like that (the problem is that php is single-threaded, as far as I know; pcntl?).But somehow I don't like any of them, or at least don't know how to implement them in the best possible way.

What is the best existing strategy to handle multiple requests from multiple users per time unit without delays, and how to implement this strategy in php? We have our own Debian-server, so it is possible to use any required php extensions.

For example, if we are trying to develop chat application, we need some sort of fixed (I mean persistent) connections for each user. For example, we have 80 users in chat, and then one of them posted a message, which server tries to handle and send to all other connected users, also putting an entry to the history file or something like that.

In this situation polling server for new messages every 10 seconds from each of 80 users is craziness, so the need in persistent connection gets obvious.But I don't know what is the best way to implement something like this, considering that not all requests are handled instanlty.

C# :: Communication Between Flash And C# Using ExternalInterface Without TLF Text

I'm communicating from a flash application using a command like the following: ExternalInterface.call("hello", "world") This is handled on the C# end by something like:

[Code]...

The axFlash_FlashCal is called fine, as long as there is a textbox on screen that's set to use TLF text. (any textbox will do, no specific ID). Without the textbox the even will not fire. (Even though ExternalInterface.Avaliable is set to true) I've tried using CS4 and CS5 to publish, using both Flash 10 and 9 as output.

Html :: Flash And JavaScript Communication Within IE

Jul 21, 2010

I am having in issue with IE passing a string back into an swf using the EternalInterface class in Flash CS4.I have an swf with the following code: var externalString:String = ExternalInterface.call("IncomingJS")which is inside an event listener attached to an Event.ENTERFRAME and an if statement waiting for ExternalInterface.available. [code]I am able to successfully get the externalString variable and procceed with the rest of the AS3 script in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but not in IE.If I add in an alert (stringFromHTML) before the return statement in the Javascript, I get the value of the stringFromHTML spammed, which looks like Flash is firing the function at the right rate[code]Unfortunately, the HTML code is actually working within a 3rd party HTML generator, and one of it's limitations is that I can only have a single line (with unlimited length) of html at a time.Are the other options (swfObject etc) able to run either with no line breaks in the code, or would I be asking for trouble with Javascript and the SWF to, instead of embedding the SWF directly, use something like an iFrame and refer to a 'proper' flash delpoyment html file?

I can't figure out how to enable policy file logging either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Php Mysql Flash Communication

Jul 5, 2009

I am having a huge problem and need a fix or at least to be pointed in the right direction quickly. I am working on a massive flash project for which I have quite a large deadline tomorrow. I have 8 movie clips on my stage, and each of these clips has a number of entities which need to be loaded and changed by data from a database. These entities are all dynamic text boxes bar one thing: the name of the clip, the id of the clip, its internal colour, a question, and an answer to this question. I have already created a table using phpMyAdmin that is laid out like this:

name - number - colour - question - comment There are currently 2 rows in this table but there will eventually be 8 minimum as I am still largely in test mode. I found a tutorial for as2 (bare with me ), which shows me how to take a single source of data from a database and then parsing the xml generated inside of actionscript and add each item to a list. However, taking into account that I am a complete newbie when it comes to xml and php and mysql, I am very confused as to how I could access all these details using php, using the below php and as code as a template:

Professional :: Handling A Javascript Variable In Flash?

Jan 6, 2010

The following bit of javascript writes and retrieves a cookie which counts a users visits to the page. Then using swfobject it both embeds main_banner.swf and passes the cookie value "visits" to it via flashvars. The trouble is in the actionscript below; the vallue has been passed (this is certain, because the .swf shows up rather than the alternative content)- but the .swf is stuck on the first frame rather than processing the cookie and sending the user to the appropriate frame label.

Flash :: Suitable Is For Handling Audio Processing?

Jun 30, 2010

This is not a specific question, instead I'm trying to get an idea of flashes capabilities. I'm building a website that has an Mp3 upload component on it. Serverside I can use the command line audio tool "SOX" for most of my heavy lifting but I'd like to offload some of it onto a flash client. Essentially, client side, needs to be able to do the following: User selects an mp3 file off their harddrive. Render it as a waveform. Display a scaled indication of 30 seconds of the waveform that the user can drag backwards and forwards. This will record a start time. Upload either the full mp3 or just the selected start time plus 30 seconds.

I've never programmed anything in flash before so I'm not really sure what it's capable of.
