View 1 RepliesI basically have a form inside of Flash that I need to submit to a server-side processing page, which will then return either json or xml telling if it succeeded or not ( json, xml I suppose ). My version of Flash is CS4 and I'm wondering if there are any libraries or frameworks I can use to accomplish this.
View 2 RepliesWhen 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.
View 1 RepliesWe are facing one issue directly connected with our Flash API we've given to a 3rd party flash vendor. To make a long story short, our API basically wraps domain logic on client and creates a single POST request towards the server in JSON format. All will be ok except in combination MacOS + Safari we receive double requests on server (?).
Even more interesting, we are receiving different agent names - one is expected name/decriptor of the browser and system, other is "CFNetwork".
POST /RuntimeDelegate.ashx - 80 Mozilla/5.0+(Macintosh;+U;+Intel+Mac+OS+X+10_4_11;+fr)+AppleWebKit/531.22.7+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Version/4.0.5+Safari/531.22.7 200 0 0
POST /RuntimeDelegate.ashx - 80 CFNetwork/129.24 200 0 0
POST /RuntimeDelegate.ashx - 80 Mozilla/5.0+

I am using Flex 3 (ActionScript 3.0). I use the HTTP progressive download to play sound files. I want to secure the sound files, by only serving them when the request comes from my flex app. I chose the simplest solution of adding a HTTP header to each request send from the app. But flash.media.Sound object ignores the headers set in flash.net.URLRequest. Here's an example,
URLRequest sndFile = new URLRequest("http://blah.com/media/load_sound.php");
sndFile.requestHeaders = new Array(new URLRequestHeader("req-orgin", "myflexapp"));
Sound snd = new Sound(sndFile);
snd.play();
The value of req-origin comes as null in load_sound.php. When i inspect the request using Firebug, the request headers to [URL] doesn't contain the header.
I want want to intercept the response for an ajax request made inside a flash object via javascript.
View 3 RepliesI'm building an image viewer that has violent content (video games), and so it requires users to enter their birthdays. Problem is that because of company policy, I can't expose any of the source images being viewed in the event that someone might use their resources/net tabs (or just sniff the request) and get the direct link to the image. (I know that they could screenshot it, but that's out of anyone's control and not something I'm worried about.)Is there anyway to inherently mask loaded resources (images)? I've been using sockets, which is great, but there's also the problem of actually loading the image binary (after HTTP request headers are removed) as a Bitmap in Flash.

View 5 RepliesIn Flex 3 application I use HTTPService class to make requests to the server:
var http:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
http.method = 'POST';
http.url = hostUrl;[code]....
The application has Comet-architecture. So it makes long running requests. While waiting a response for this request, other requests can be made concurrently.The application works in most cases. But sometimes some clients get HTTP request error executing long running request:
faultCode:Server.Error.Request
faultString:'HTTP request error'
faultDetail:'Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"].
I have a flash application that I need to debug and I need to filter out a GET request to redirect it to another domain because the file is not available on the domain that it's trying to get it from. I can not edit the source code until Monday and I need to figure out a way to redirect that request to the other domain that has the resource that is missing.

View 1 RepliesI'm using an HTMLLoader object to create a simple browser in my AIR application. Is there a way to listen for Event.OPEN (or the equivalent) for when a user clicks a link that causes the HTMLLoader to initiate an HTTP request?For capturing the end of a load, Event.COMPLETE is working perfectly. I just can't find a way to capture the beginning of a load!

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?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to insert a HTTP header into the request that is made when a .SWF requests a .FLV movie via the flvplayback object. Here's my scenario.
We are using Akamai to distribute our flash video so it loads faster. Our current set up involvels 4 primary components:
1. HTML sitting on our corporate webservers.
2. SWF being served by the Akamai servers.
3. FLV file being served by the Akamai servers.
4. flvplayback skin (SWF file) being hosted by the Akamai servers.
When the HTML file loads into the browser, it requests the SWF, which then loads the flvplayback skin and FLV video. This whole process works until you add security to the mix. We have referer security, which means that that Akamai-hosted files won't load unless the requesting domain is one of our corporate domains. The referer is usually passed over in the HTML header, so the HTML file can successfully request and load the SWF from the Akamai servers. However, when the SWF then requests the skin and FLV file, they don't load because the referer header isn't passed over in this request.
How do I insert the referer header into the SWF request for the FLV and flvplayback skin? I'm assuming this needs to be done from within the flvplayback instance in my SWF file, but I don't know how to reference that. I tried the following, but it didn't seem to work:
myFlvPlayback.URLRequestHeader("Referer", "http://mycorporatedomain.com/requestingpage.html");
I need to send a HTTP request (and get XML response) from Flash that looks similar to following:
http://example.com/somepath?data=1&data=2&data=3
I.e. having several parameters that share same name, but have different values.
Until now I used following code to make HTTP requests:
var resp:XML = new XML();
resp.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {/*...*/};
resp.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code].....
But in that case I am loosing ability to do POST requests.

I am using ActionScript 2.0 for my app development. I have checked XML and LoadVars class. These classes by default send/receive data either in XML or name/value pair format. I want to send data in JSON format and receive the response in JSON format. How can I achieve this behavior using AS2.0. I have noticed that AS3.0 has the capabilities to do so. My client platform doesn't support AS3.0.

I'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
So I want to read http streams using flash tcp sockets. I do not really need the http header at all - all I need is body which contains flv. so how to read http response body into byte array using flash sockets?
View 1 RepliesSo I'm trying to code an AIR widget for Tumblr. Before I actually start working on the widget, I wanted to play around with AS3 and the Tumblr API to do simple things, like reading and writing posts, editing posts etc. I got reading posts working, but when it comes to creating posts I run into an unknown brickwall. Here's the instructions from Tumblr's API doc on making a POST request:
The Write API is a very simple HTTP interface. To create a post, send a POST request to [URL] with the following parameters:
Email - Your account's email address.
password - Your account's password.
type - The post type.
These are the valid values for the type parameter, with the associated content parameters that each type supports:
Regular - Requires at least one:
Title
Body (HTML allowed)
[URL]
And here's my AS3 code:
import flash.net.*
gogo.buttonMode = true; // gogo is the instance name of a MC on the stage
gogo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, go);
function go(e:MouseEvent):void{
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[Code] .....
And for the life of me, no matter how simple I make this code, I cannot get it to work.

View 1 RepliesAs URLLoader launches requests without any issue (I'm monitoring network and flash activities via FireBug in FF 3.6.13), the FileReference upload method doesn't. The odd thing is that no error is thrown AND (the strangiest) the complete and the progress events are correctly fired while no request has been done, and my php isn't receiving anything !

var file:FileReference = new FileReference();

I am unable to produce the kind of synchronization effects I would like to in ActionScript. The issue is that I need to make several external calls to get various pieces of outside information in response to a user request, and the way items will be laid out on the page is dependent on what each of these external calls returns. So, I don't care that all of these calls return asynchronously. However, is there any way to force some amount of synchronization on ActionScript, so that at least calling the method for doing the final layout and placement of items on the page is dependent on all of my calls finishing?
