How to display the progress on a data transfer between Flash and PHP? Below is the AS3 code I'm using to upload a base64 encoded image through PHP.

I have coded a program to accept several text fields in Flash and then transfer them (using a defined Class function, sendExample with sendPhp) and display them with a pfp form. When I run the swf from my pc it transfers the data correctly (the php file is on my hosted server.) However when I transfer the swf to the server (along with the class I defined to do the transfer), the php file is called but no data is transfered. What is missing from the server to make the data transfer complete? No errors, just a php page with no data inserted.
View 1 RepliesIt's not exactly that, but it works the same way. It's about a login form with Flash and PHP. It must send data (username and password) to PHP, PHP has to check for a record in MySQL and then to return data to Flash. How does it works and how to return the data to Flash?
View 1 RepliesThis is not something new I'm sure and a lot of people have found or are looking for a solution for stablishing an encrypted data transfer between flash and php but the wiered thing is that there are few resources when I try googling about this so, all I'm trying to achive is to encrypt data in flash with a key or something (I don't want to build my own algorithm, I'd like to use some standard ones like MD5) and then send the data out to a PHP file and after the php read the data it will also encrypt and send the results back to flash...
I was happy and downloaded the as3crypto class from google code... installed and ran it and it worked for the first tests... then when I tried using that method in my project I noticed that the encrypted data being sent from PHP to flash, sometimes does not work! again I searched and found out that some other people are also having the same problem and are saying that this as3crypto does not work well with sending data to php!!!I'm out of time and out of mind so what should I do if I want my data sent to php and vice versa to be encrypted? or maybe I'm using that as3crypto thing in a wrong way?! I did exactly as described in the above sample blog.
I need to transfer data from a flash application running in a browser to a server running php. If I use an https connection will that be enough to ensure that the data sent from flash to the server is encrypted and sensitive data can't be sniffed, or do I need to do encryption in my flash application itself?
View 1 Repliesi have a problem with flash maybe i have an online exchange table which loaded in a flash page when i import the exchange swf in a flash page on ftp it cant get the datas from php but when i open the exchange swf independently in ftp it get the datas from php and it works
View 1 RepliesI know there are a lot of topics already on this. I have read (hundreds of) them and I'd still like your input.
If I have a flash UI that takes user input and passes it to PHP; is this secure?
I have read that, yes, this is okay. I have also read that no, you need to encrypt the data, by say hashing it before sending to PHP. OK, easy, I do this already but.....
In my case I have the data/password stored (when the user inputs it, not in the swf of course) and sent every time I want to access any PHP (using AMFPHP). The PHP check this password each time and only runs if it gets the correct password. So in this case if I hash the password, it makes no difference, it just changes what the password is rather than providing any actual security (well maybe minimal because it's less recognizable).
So can someone extract a password that is sent from flash to PHP?
However, no matter what I do I can't seem to get data from my components to a PHP file on my server.Ultimately,I am making a flash form that will submit the form data to the PHP script and make entries into a mySQL database.Before I do that, though, I thought I'd first just try to see if I could get data processed in PHP.So,I created a simple PHP file that simply displays the data on the screen, and I made a single-button flash movie that has some actionscript in it.Here is the code for the PHP file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />[code]....
And here is the code for the actionscript I have in my button:
on (click)[code]....
I'd like to note that my actionscript is a direct copy/paste from the Adobe online reference for actionscript 2 (with a change to the php path, of course).I upload everything and visit the page with the flash button in it.When I click the button, I am taken to the .php page as expected, but the only thing I get on my screen is "...and that's all I've got."
firstName, lastName, and age never get processed.Eventually, I'll be wanting to send data from form components.But as a first step, I can't even get this working correctly. Does anyone have any insight?I'm using Macromedia Flash 8 (I'd love to upgrade, but Adobe won't let me since it's part of a suite...and I don't want to upgrade the whole suite.
Is there some built-in limit to the rate at which flash.net.Socket can transfer data? When downloading from a server on localhost, I get a speed of about 5.8 MB/s consistently, while downloading directly from the server (outside of Flash Player) I can over 100 MB/s. Also, if I start two or more concurrent downloads, they all (individually) go at about the same 5.8 MB/s. The CPU use is under 100%. This program demonstrates the phenomenon. Running with NUM_DOWNLOADS = 1, I get

I need to do a simple progress indicator while loading an image on background. I'm using the flash.display.Loader class in what seems to be the standard way. The problem is that even though I can see that flash.display.LoaderInfo fires the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS at regular intervals using tracing, a dynamically updated text (or any other graphics object) is updated only once when the loading finishes. It looks like if the display update queued and caused only one update at the end. This is a simplified version of the function which initiates the loading:[code]
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to display the playback progress of an external loaded .swf file BUT it is not made with timeline animation? I mean I used TweenMax for the animation on the loaded .swf and due to this the totalFrames method doesn't seem to work... Is there any solution for this? (I would prefer not to transform the .swf as an .flv cause I need the interactivity)
Part of my code so far is:
Code:
function swfLoaded(event:Event):void
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackPlayback);
}

I am developing a VC++ application in which I need to play SWF files. In my SWF file there are some integer values, which I
need to fetch to my VC++ application. I am using the flash.ocx activex control in the application. Also I need to call some
functions (in the SWF AS2) from the application.
Can I move/copy values from a DataGrid to another without using the DataProvider of the first DataGrid?
View 2 RepliesI have a project where i need to transfer the data from swf to javascript, and vice versa, i using flash cs4 and action script 3.0 i can transfer data from AS to JS without any problem but the other way around doesn't seems to be working i have been trying this from a long time, i even used exact same code from adobe externaInterface example there seems to be some problem.
all i want is to transfer data from JS to AS dynamically.
I'm looking for the smallest way to transfer data from server to flash. The data being sent is already quite small such as this json object
Code:
{
"id": "value1",
"name": "value2",
"moreTextData": "more string data"
}
Probably about 30 of those at most.
I am building an ActionScript 3 loader,which display the progress of Flash loading an external script. Here is a snippet of my code that works perfectly.
this.SWFLoader = new Loader();
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, trackProgress);
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
this.SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loadError);
As you can see, I have three event listeners, each for listening for different events triggered during the loading process.In regards to the above snippet, here is what I am unsure of:
What is the contentloaderinfo object?
What properties does the contentloaderinfo object contain?
Why can't I just use this.SWFLoader.addEventListener()?
When is it appropriate to use contentloaderinfo?
I am struggling with the following situation. An addToCart button adds an item to the PayPal cart with the code below, which does work, but has the result that the visitor is directed to the PayPal site during the shopping process. The transfer of the data should however happen in the background and the visitor should only be directed to the PayPal site when the view cart option is clicked. Is there any other way to transfer the data than having to navigate to the PayPal Site?[code]...
View 2 RepliesI've read some books on creating stateless websites, I've read some about stateful client applications, but a lot of complexity comes along when you have to combine both. We have a Flex application that needs to persist data to a database via .NET services. Things to keep in mind are:
- Concurrency (optimistic/pessimistic)
- Performance: Flex needs to load in lots of data so lazy-loading is often necessary.
- Do you use Dto's to transfer data between server and client?
I'll tell you the history of our product. We've used SubSonic from the beginning as a o/r mapper. SubSonic objects are converted to dto's written by us and these dto's are transferred to the client. Clientside the dto's are converted to the domain model. If clientside a domain model object needs to be saved, it is converted back to a dto and send to the server. Server side the dto is converted to a subsonic object and saved to the database.
Now, some time ago, we needed the domain model on the .NET server side... so now we have like three models on the server side, the subsonic model, the dto model and the domain model. The dto model is more simple and resembles the database more, the domain model has much more logic. It gets complex... We now have to synchronize the AS3 domain model code with the C# domain model code. If we could do it again (of get time to refactor) I think we wouldn't use the dto's anymore, but transfer the domain model between client and server. Dto's are simple objects so easy to transfer. Domain model objects can be very complex.

View 2 RepliesI'm using a .swf to connect to a socket and stream data as fast as possible for 60 seconds to measure connectivity speed.In other words a speed test.In the past say month or two, I've found Macintosh systems 10.5 and higher experience a significant slow down, In testing I see my socket connect and reach about 2.5Mbps - 3.5Mbps and literally stick as though the .swf was throttling the connection.
This 'problem' is random and appears to come and go. I've tested this in Chrome,Firefox and Safari with all the same results.Using the exact same test on any Windows or Linux OS works totally fine.Admittedly I'm an ActionScript novice however the code I'm using is below and has worked for some time up until recently.

I've been testing a file from my server and I'm getting varying results using different browsers. IE8 is displaying the file as intended however Firefox and Chrome give me an annoying little glitch. The problem lies with the way my preloader reacts using the MovieClipLoader class.
I have a main file with subsections where swfs are loaded in to blank clips. I'm using a preloader to display their progress and the preloader displays an animation by percentage increment up to 100%. If the target clip is not yet loaded then the preloader functions as intended across all browsers. However, if I revisit an already visited section where the preloader should not display due to the file having been already loaded, I'm getting a brief flicker (around 1 frame) of the preloader in a random state of load progress. Again, this does not apply to IE8 - everything there seems to be in order.It's as though it's firing onLoadProgress for a brief instant instead of just going to onLoadComplete.
Is it possible to listen to ProgressEvent when streaming?
I want to display the buffer progress by listening to the NetStream ProgressEvent, but the event does not dispatch...
Im looking for a jquery or ajax file uploader, Im currently using the FancyUploader which worked great until Flash brought out their update making all flash progress bars absolete, now whenever I try to upload large files... it will fill the progress bar to 100% in a matter of seconds even though the actual upload finished minutes after. So im now looking for a new uploading script that DOESNT require flash but can still display the progress.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a static flex application which does not have a database connection, all the values are hardcoded(its just a prototype for the original app). Now when I click the save button, i need to get a message like saving in progress... please wait, I need to display this message for 3 seconds.
View 3 Repliesi am currently building an application ( projektor) which loads big local files (no webserver) for some reason the flash player freezes until the whole file is loaded. i cannot display the load progress. the same code works fine when used with streaming from a server.
View 2 RepliesDiscovered yesterday that the preloader I've been working with (loads external SWFs into levels based on this tutorial) which works fine on a local preview and IE, is having some major issues in Firefox. I thought this was a little bizarre at first but have since discovered that it could be something to do with 4 bytes that IE ignores but Firefox has a problem with. I've been searching for a solution that I can use pretty much constantly since then, and I'm stumped. Here's a link if you want to see it in (in)action: link
In IE, everything is good. Page loads, preloader starts at the bottom of the progress bar and progress is acurate. In Firefox, page loads, external swfs DO preload but progress bar doesn't display. When swfs are 100% loaded, the full progress bar appears with my "click to enter" link. But people will definitely have left the page thinking nothing is happening by then.
