How can I access a password protected webservice from AS3 (compiled using flash ide, so not flex application)I tried just calling it straight like lso tried using this
var authHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic " + credentials);
//add the header to request
[code]....
that is there any way to protect the Flash source (FLA) file with password. So that if any body wants to open the file in flash it should ask the password before opening.
View 2 Repliesi have the url of a password protected xml, and i need to load it in my application. but i can't figure it out how. i did find an example but it was in actionScirpt 2 and i'm having troubles coding it in 3.0.
ActionScript Code:
var _login:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var loggedInXML = new XML();
loggedInXML.ignoreWhite = true;

and i would like to know if there's a way to protect a movie with password like those javascript ones?~
View 1 RepliesI have my flash setup so that it stores information in an XML file. It grabs the current XML file and then appends the new data to the end of the XML file. It does this by using the short PHP file below:
[Code]....
The problem is that I want to make it so people can't just go and grab the data.xml file. How do I protect the data.xml file so that no one can access it unless it is accessed via the Flash?
I have tried messing with some .htaccess settings but can't seem to get it to work. I was thinking I could create some kind of .htaccess setting so that the data.xml file would be password protected and only the swf and php file could have access to it.
I am tring to build an application that remembers my passwords. like roboform. Is it possible to load the page and then fillin fields using AS?
View 4 RepliesToday, we can create password protected swfs using various content generation tools. When the user opens that swf, he/she needs to enter a password, and only then the encrypted swf can be viewed.Now, I am trying to load one such encrypted swf in a flex based AIR application, and I am using the SWFLoader class for that. But instead of the user entering the password, I want the application to provide the password at the time of loading the swf. Is this even possible? I tried googling, but nothing came up.

View 1 RepliesI use the JQuery plugin Uploadify for uploading files. It works fine in all browsers. If however I imlement a passwort protection via .htaccess like this
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /my/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthPGAuthoritative Off
Require user dev
uploadify stops working in Firefox. In Chrome it still works.
In Firefox the file select box works, but after I selected a file the progress bar does stay at 0% and the file is not uploaded to the server.
I guess the issue is somewhere with flash on password protected sites. how I can fix this, without removing the password protection?
without having to hardcode a username / password in my .swf file (very easy to decompile!), is it possible to send a URLRequest for some file (perhaps .php?) to a loader object which can load assets that reside in password protected directories?my PHP skills are weak at best, so if calling a .php script is the solution.
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash application that displays online e-learning tests. Once a user successfully logs in(via .net webservice) the app loads in XML files, images and audio files via Loader/URLRequest objects and uses the loaded data to render the test on screen.This all works fine but recently the decision has been made to put the XML and media files used by the tests in a password protected directory for extra security.I was wondering if anyone has any experience loading files into Flash from password protected folders. From what I can see online I could specify the username and password for the folder as HTTP request headers using a URLRequestHeader object and set the requestHeaders property of the URLRequest to this URLRequestHeader obj. But this only seems a possibility with the POST method and I am using GET.Also even with the POST method there seems to be issues with sending a HTTP Authorization header in player versions before 9.0.124Is what I am trying to do possible or is it not allowed due to Flash security restrictions?

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (password eq "caleb") {

It contains syntax error.
I have planned to create an educational application / movie in Flash 8 (contains exercises and final tests etc.). I want to protect my application with username and password. The script inside movie should generate the password for given key say in my case username it will output the hex key which can be your password and no need to store it. cause you put same logic in your app which will generate the same hex key for same key i.e. is your username

View 5 RepliesI have a Flash movie written in Flash 8 with AS2 that is attempting to access a webservice on a server that is https.
I can't get the webserviceconnector to even load the WSDL file.
I have a crossdomain.xml file at the root of my http/https server that allows the domain the swf is being served from to get in and it has the secure attribute for that domain set to false, but it still can't get through.
Not sure what I am missing at this point.
I have a quick update. I figured that since my webserver is serving the secure site up under a different Website in IIS that I needed a crossdomain policy file at the home directory of the site. I have placed it there and when the movie loads I am using loadPolicyFile to get the crossdomain file which still loads into flash without issue but I still get a WebServiceFault when I try to load up the WSDL.
Can anyone point out a crossdomain example where a flash movie on an http domain is accessing a webservice on an https domain?

as many of us is aware is possible to dowload youtube videos using AnyVideo converter or any similar software. The basic mechanism is that, when bufering a video, a set of images is sent to the client machine, that's because youtube videos are in flash format. Not sure which format, .f4v, 4fp . I assume is .f4v rather than .4fp as the video can be dowloaded.
Parts of me would argue that is impossible to make a totally protected video. Every time you see a video the stream is dowloaded in the local machine and thus with a software reading the steram and converting it to mp4 or either other format it should be possible to copy the video.

To my knowledge this doesn't break Liskov's Substitution Principle as an instance of a subclass can do all the things that an instance of a superclass can do.

I'm overriding a protected function in a subclass.Let's say I have two classes, Apple and Fruit. I have all variables in place, this is just a simplified version.
[Code]...
Example is trivial. The problem is that the type of the getRandom function depends on its own type. One returns an apple, the other returns a fruit.Of course I get errors about override and coercion.
I've tried returning a Fruit instead of an Apple, but then the object is not an apple, therefore it has no Apple-specific properties.The problem is in ducktyping. There's a third class I cannot change, that executes the getRandom() function on each object, and I need the Apples to be something slightly different.
How can I override the getRandom function in Apple, so that it returns apples, rather than fruit?
