read a local shared object with a servlet even if there is no flash present on a page? I want to set a local shared object like a cookie, and then access it again from a page that doesn't have a flash movie.If I can't do this, is it standard to have the initial flash movie call an external javascript to set a traditional cookie that can later be read?
View 1 RepliesI finished a Flex app using FB4.5 and uploaded and tested it fine to a shared host. I'm now in the process of securing the app using https, but have landed in a quagmire.I forced the load of all pages to https with .htaccess so that the Flex app loads with SSL. Problem is that I get a connection failed ('BadVersion') when the app makes a data service call using the gateway.php file because of the .htaccess force (it is looking for http rather than https). I believe I can hardcode the https path in the Flash Builder class file, but I don't want prevent the app from working on my dev machine either.Also, even if the gateway.php file is called using SSL, will the following calls to the PHP files containing the actual SQL queries fail because of the forced SSL by the .htaccess directives.
Instead of using .htaccess, I have also successfully used PHP to secure the initial launch of the app with a https redirect statement in the beginning. This allows the app to work, calling the gateway.php file fine because it isn't forcing https on everything. BUT, this defeats the purpose of trying to get everything to be encrypted.Is is it necessary to have the gateway.php file launched on SSL because of transmitting in binary AMF?

View 1 RepliesI created a very simple experiment to attempt to access the same shared object in Flash Player and AIR.
A Flash SWF creates a local shared object.
A AIR application (being tested from CS3 or installed) opens the same shared object.
The data does not persist. Is this theoretically possible?
The instructions I read for using AC_FL_RunContent, say to leave off the file extension of the swf file, e.g.: AC_FL_RunContent(..., 'movie', 'some'); So that it will embed some.swf. However, I need to serve the swf from a servlet, e.g. /blah/SomeServletName. How can I do that? I tried changing the javascript of AC_RunActiveContent.js, so it doesn't manipulate the file extension. In other words, so I could use:
AC_FL_RunContent(..., 'movie', 'some.swf'); But, it displays nothing if I use the servlet path, instead of a path that looks like a file name, e.g.: AC_FL_RunContent(..., 'movie', '/blah/SomeServletName');

I'm creating a client-server game. My client is a flex based game, and my server is erlang server. At the beginning, when I test directly my flex client in flash player, I can establish a connection easily to my erlang server through socket connection. And both can exchange data with no problem. The problem rise when I deploy my flex app at Apache http server, and running it using a browser by calling [URL] my flex socket sends message requesting for a crossdomain policy to my erlang server. So I create an xml message that represent a crossdomain policy, and send it back to my flex app as a response for that request.
Yet still I can't establish any permanent socket connection between my flex client and my erlang server. I know this because I add listener on my flex socket that will modify its internal state to CONNECTED, if a connection between client-server has established.
Is there any way to connect Java servlet to FMS?I would like to send comand from servlet via HTTP to FMS?(Something like communication to Flash media server using administration API)The best way for me would be connecting (writing) to SharedObjects, but I would be happy with any connection at all.(I read some about ColdFusion, but there would be too much modification on my servlet.)
