Ajax :: In Terms Of HTTP Request Performance Pick AJAX Or Flash?
Jul 19, 2011
In terms of HTTP request performance should I pick AJAX or Flash? To be more specific, I'm more into Flash than AJAX and I'm currently working on a wide scale web project. I wanted to try AJAX out for once and now it's getting too messy for me. Before it gets more complicated I thought may be I can run Flash on the background for HTTP Requests and use it with javascript. I couldn't find any benchmark on the Internet, but I think AJAX is faster than Flash. So what's your personal experience? Is there too much difference between Flash and AJAX?

When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.

I'm trying to solve a problem where I have a nice Flash button and when a user presses that button I need an Ajax request to be sent to the server in order to process some RJS code. I am using ActionScript3 to do URL handling logic of my Flash button. Has anyone done anything similar?

I have problems with facebook application based on flash which communicate with PHP using FBJS-bridge.When someone use the application for the first time, he/she is asked for various permissions. After that, flash contact PHP with ajax but request is never sent. When you refresh page, everything is working without any problems.If you remove the application on privacy settings, refresh the page and try again -same bug happens.If you allow application, refresh page, in other tab remove application and start application in previous tab - user is asked for permissions but everything is working after allowing application.This is FBJS code
function openPermissions(){
Facebook.showPermissionDialog(/*permissions string*/, permissionOnDone);[code]......
openPermissions is called to display permission dialog, and on allow flash function allow() is called. In flash, allow() calls JS function ajaxCall(), which should make ajax request. But, ajax.post never sends request. I know that for sure, because flash function parseAjax was never called and also debugging tools in browsers are not showing any ajax requests. URL and parameters are same as when it is working. No flash or JS errors are detected...

I'm interested if there is some tool (preferably a firefox addon) that allows you to record http requests and view their response header and content.

Is there a way in any browser to find out who (which piece of code) actually sent an Ajax request? What I mean: in firebug one can monitor network activity (in the Net tab) but there is no way of guessing where the request was initiated from.
Does anybody know firefox/firebug extensions or maybe other browser's extensions to show request source (whether it is javascript code in particular file at particular line or browser plugin Flash/Silverlight/etc)?

I am building a request in Flash that contains a JSON encoded Array of Objects. This is encoded using as3corelib. The request is then passed to JavaScript via ExternalInterface and a jquery ajax call sends the request off to the server.In PHP, the incoming data is parsed, but the json_decode returns null, giving a Malformed JSON error. var_dump results in comments:
<?php
(isset($_POST['gdata']) && !empty($_POST['gdata'])) ? $gamedata = $_POST['gdata'] : returnError("game data not specified");
var_dump($gamedata);[code]............
What I don't understand is that attempting to decode the variable returns null, but the same text decoded from a literal string works fine. What can I do to clean up the incoming data and make it readable for json_decode?
Edit: php_info() says that magic_quotes_gpc is enabled. Could that be the issue?

Is there any client-side technology to send get request with unencoded query string?I want to send some reserved symbols to server in URL without url encoding (eg. '>' or ']'). (I want to test server's behavior).
An XMLHttpRequest encodes these symbols automatically.

is ajax/ javascript functions accessible from flash? in games like those at mindjolt it is irritatitng to wait for the flash file to load and initizalize and then have the page change to the scores page again
i was windering if its possible to use ajax from flash? so the flash game sendds the score/ result to the page and only parts of it change, (developers can even choose to force pause the game for 5 seconds so the user registers/ submits score etc)
and then can continue. now what happens in page changes, then you need to return to the page and wait for flash swf file to load again ...

The main top section of the site is a little Flash thing that has buttons as links to different areas of the site. All of that is well and good, but whenever I click those links, it has to reload the entire page (including the Flash app) when only the bottom part changes. This isn't really a huge issue, since everything's real small, but it's kind of annoying.I vaguely remember "fixing" this behavior using AJAX during my web programming class, but that was just straight HTML and Javascript, no Flash players to muck around with.My question is, how do I overcome having to reload the entire page when someone clicks a link from the Flash object? Is there some nice way I can call something other than getURL() to achieve this effect?

I'm using AS3 to base64 encode a JPG and pass it to Javascript. I'm attempting to use AJAX to pass that base64 encoded string to PHP and have PHP decode it. (I know I could send it back to Flash and Flash could decode it and send it to PHP, but I'm trying to eliminate the need for Flash on the decoding end).It appears that AS3's encodeToBase64String() function and and PHP's base64_decode() function do not use the same algorithm, as PHP evaluates it as a base64 encoded object, but does not seem to output it properly

I have a coldfusion page that uses JQuery UI TAB to load another coldfufion page which includes a cfchart in flash format. But this works completely fine in FF.(everything was loaded, flash cfchart, tables ...)

However in IE: all of the html elements that are generated with the flash object are loaded, except the flash object and embed tags do not show up at all after running an ajax call in IE.
how can i fix this error to let the flash cfchart display inIE?

I'm trying to create a sleek and styled button that when clicked allows the user to select a file. When the file has been selected, an event should fire, allowing me to reconstruct the form. Also the file should be uploaded without reloading the page. Preferably events should also be fired for upload progress and completion.
Obviously neither pure HTML or JavaScript can do all this by themselves. I need to let Flash do the uploading. I've been searching around for a nice clean JavaScript library that implements Flash for file uploads and makes the aforementioned events available to the programmer. All I've managed to find are "all-or-nothing" type libraries that does everything for me, giving me little or no freedom. Often the upload interface is also static and in flash.
Are there are professional, clean JavaScript libraries out there that does what I'm after? To reiterate, I'm looking for a JavaScript library that uses Flash only to upload one or more files asynchronously and offer events to keep track of the upload.

I have an AJAX web service call that returns a chunk of HTML that I then apply to a DIV element on my page.This works fine for any html element except a flash video which comes up with 'Movie not loaded'.I've double-checked the html that is being returned and it's all fine, and it works if I don't use AJAX, but when I use AJAX and then add it using JS it doesn't seem to attempt to load the playlist.

I have a Flash based game for the browser which sends users' scores to a php backend script which stores the score and the user id in the database.
Now I have a url like www.example.com/update.php?score=200&uid=234
The problem is that this is very much exposed to an intelligent user, and he can use this url to store whatever score he wants in the DB. Also there's no real user authentication, and I don't intend to have one either, because it's really a tiny game.
How can I stop someone from calling the above url and updating his score on his own.

Does there exist a library / program that can play mp3 files using flash as html5 fallback dynamically? By dynamically, I mean that the player can switch the current mp3 thats playing, even after dom has loaded. The problem I run into with most flash audio players is that they depend on the song being loaded when the dom loads, but my website loads songs through ajax.

I'm running into a problem while running both a Flash socket and using Ajax to load pages. Both work fine separately. I am able to browse my site using the Ajax calls, or I am able to send/receive messages through the socket. However, when the socket is connected for some reason the Ajax calls start to seemingly be put into a queue and never actually finish until I stop the socket.
If I disconnect from the socket, or close the socket on the server side, then the Ajax call immediately finishes and loads the page. The Ajax call never times out, it just waits forever, right up until I close the socket connection. In JavaScript, I'm using jQuery's $.getJSON() function to load the pages (which I thought were asynchronous calls). In Flash I'm using the basic ActionScript 3 Socket class:

i have some simple html links wrapped in a div id called 'contentOpen', some javascript listens out for when links wrapped within the contentOpen div are clicked and then calls a function called 'click' (which is within jquery.js)
i want to be able to use a flash button to do the same thing - how would i modify my flash and/or javascript to be able to do this ?
here is my javascript:
$('#contentOpen a').livequery('click',function(){
// capture the url to load from the href
var urlLoad = $(this).attr("href") +' #content';
window.location.hash = $(this).attr('href').substr(0,$(this).attr('href') .length-4);

I have an AJAX.net drop menu and a flash intro with 4 swf files that's being called externally using Bulkloader. The drop menu works fine by itself and the flash works fine by itself. But when the two are put together, the animation on the .swf files are causing the drop menu to lag A LOT. The 2nd child item from the drop menu doesn't smoothly drop until the animation is completely done.
