I am creating a local app that is going to be a swf file. Is there anyway to check if the user has internet while they are using my app. I tried this, it works great if testing the movie from flash, however, It does not work when running the swf file independently. I'm guessing this is because it is strictly intended for air app.[code]...
View 3 RepliesAt the end of the movie I would like to check if the user is still connected to the Internet (they maybe on an unstable dial-up connection and lost connection). Is there anyway to do that? I mean, is there a way to check if a user is connected to the Internet using ActionScript?

I'm running into this errors:

I need to check to see if the connection is already open, and if so, remove it so I can reconnect (sending a new variable on the new connection).[code]...
View 9 RepliesIs there a way to continually check the user's internet connection from within Flash?
The one way I've seen is to load a small file using loadVars, and if that file loads successfully, then the connection is good.
But is there something in System.capabilities or System.security that might be a better option?
I've noticed in testing a problem whereby Flowplayer will not play any content without a internet connection. All the files which make up my project are stored locally, and I've gone through and checked all the paths to make sure nothing points outwards towards the internet.
Curiously if I pull the internet connection out before the web page loads, the video file fails to load, however installing a loopback adapter gets around this. How can I alleviate this problem?
For proofs sake I've loaded the page in chrome looked at the network activity;
I am creating an air app that uses HTTPService to connect to a .net api and get a user for example. It works great when I publish the move for "Flash Player 10" as a .swf, however, when I publish it as .air it seems like there is no internet connection at all. I am assuming it's internet securities (maybe firewall). I turned off my firewall and everything that might be blocking the internet access, but nothing seems to work.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently developing a flash game and I need to be able to test it on my local machine and also on the web. When running locally I use some dummy test data and when online it is joined to an API. While in development I would like to be able to detect where I'm running so I can switch between these automatically. Is there a way to detect this in Flash?

View 1 RepliesI found many helpful guides to work with Flash and XML. But everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?
View 3 RepliesI have an mp3 player(AS3) loads in external mp3. I am trying to attach the flash local connection script to the mp3 script so that I can have the mp3 pop up in a smaller browser and it be controlled by the main homepage.
here is an example, [URL] select track 4, you will see it starts playing but also another small window pops up but its behind the main browser. this is then controlled with a 'Stop' and 'Play' function on the main home page.
thats what I am trying to create:
ok;
I have an example working for the flash local connection where you can drag a ball and it also moves in the smaller pop up window, see here: [URL]
So I have that working and I have the mp3 working, but I need to put both togther and cross over the flash local connection script and incorporate into the mp3 script.
What is the best way for me to send script information, I don't want to flood the thread with AS. You can download the flash lconnection files and the mp3 player from here!

I'm wondering if there is a way for a SWF to check at runtime whether it is running as an online SWF or an AIR app? I need to use the same SWF to run both online and locally, however when running as an AIR app, external assets are located in a different directory. I'd like to check whether a SWF is local or online so I can change the source path for external assets accordingly.
View 1 RepliesOptivote IR8 is basically a voting system with a bunch of remote controllers, which can send IR signals to a receiver, which is connected to a computer through a USB port. And I'm trying to write my own little software for that with Flash.Optivote receiver communicates with software through a virtual serial port. When I connect to that port through PuTTY, I can see signals whenever I press any button on the remote controllers. Although, when I connect to that port through Serproxy (which relays a socket connection to a serial port connection), the remote controllers don't seem to work. I just get the same signal every half a second or so, over and over. I'm guessing the receiver is trying to make some kind of handshake this way.
The thing I can't figure out is what PuTTY does that Serproxy doesn't to make the serial port connection work. Maybe there's some proper way to tell the other end when I connect?(I use Serproxy, because Flash applications cannot connect to a serial port directly, but supports socket connections)
Is there a class in AS3 that will allow you to check if the pc on which the player resides has a current internet connection?

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a stand-alone player based Flash app. Some of the required elements within it are links to areas in a site online. I need to test before hand if the user has a connection. I'm stumped on this one. I'm not worried about NetConnection etc. I'm simply trying to test if the user has an internet connection or not. Would anybody happen to know if there is a function or some combination of methods that is not browser-based that can test for an internet connection?

View 14 RepliesMy connection at work seems to be a bit rocky. I'd like to make a simple graph using the awesome power of ActionScript to demonstrate the rockiness of work compared to the smoothness at home to my IT guys.Websites like speedtest.net won't cut it as sometimes my connection is great, with sudden cutoffs randomly. Other apps won't work as I can't install software at work.
Any thoughts on how to get started? I'm guessing I download some audio or something at regular intervals or something to test/graph (I can handle the graph part)? I don't need specifics, although I'd be delighted to see examples if any. I really just need some general guidance on where to get started.
UrL...in the example each button attempts to contact a php script and the result is displayed in flash.if the php file is not available on the server (ie: server could be down or the file doesn't exist) shouldnt an ioerror be thrown.The frustrating thing is the ioerror gets thrown if you are using DATAFORMAT.TEXT but not when you are using DATAFORMAT.VARIABLES (i didnt try BINARY)Shouldn't an ioerror be thrown regardless of which DATAFORMAT type you are using?That's what happens when you run the file locally. Why doesn't this happen when it's deployed on a server?The error that gets thrown on the server (and you will see if you are running the debugger version of flash player) is the 2101 error:Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.This makes (some) sense cause is seems the loader in flash is getting a response (from a file that is not on the server) but the response is not in a valid format.
Checking the httpStatus is of no help either as it is 0 in all cases whether the file exists or not.Does this sound like a bug or is there something I am missing? Perhaps some way to catch the 2101 error i have tried but without success.the source (cs3 just to be safe) is available at the link below if you want to see/test for yourself. DOWNLOAD SOURCE
how to check a network connection status with flash?
If XMLSocket.connect returns a value of true, the initial stage of the connection process is successful; later, the XMLSocket.onConnect method is invoked to determine whether the final connection succeeded or failed. If XMLSocket.connect returns false, a connection could not be established.
Example
The following example uses XMLSocket.connect to connect to the host where the movie resides, and uses trace to display the return value indicating the success or failure of the connection.
function myOnConnect(success) {
if (success) {
trace ("Connection succeeded!")

I'm interested in building a thick client application for my existing web services that will run on the IPhone. Flash finally seems to be an option, so I thought about using Flex for client side development.
However, since flash apps are not natively supported by the IPhone, but only through a wrapper, I was wondering if these apps can persist any data. Data entered by the user should eventually be transmitted to the web service, but until then I want it to persist even if the Iphone should run out of power.
Is this possible? Or does the Iphone flash wrapper make it impossible to access the hard disk?
