Flash :: Force A Source Port On A NetConnection?
Feb 26, 2011
I'm trying to decipher a pre-existing project and make some modifications as I go.
I have a section of code that starts with creating a new NetConnection and then streaming a media file from an external source. I see in the documentation that you can provide a destination port (via the URL), but is it possible to force Flash to use a specific source port? I couldn't find a clear way to do this in the documentation, but I was curious if anyone else has an alternate method or idea.

I have a swf running within a web browser and publishing audio stream to the server. If the client's computer has a firewall, should it be configured for outgoing etconnection.connect() request?

According to the answers to this question here, the reason why I'm not seeing errors as I work in Flash Builder is that FB is "optimizing" them out because they aren't referenced at any point in the code execution. Is there an option to force Flash Builder to compile all files regardless of whether they're used in the software?

I have to replace the mx:VideoDisplay component in an existing Flex project with a custom made component. To achieve this, I have to conform to its current Interface, so my component receives the video urls (via source parameter) in the form of either:
/data/myflvfile.flv (if the file is played locally)
rtmp://streamcloud.myserver.com/cfx/st/somedirectory/myflvfile.flv (if the file is streamed from Cloudfront)
My new component is based on NetConnection and NetStream. With any of the entries above I have to split the input in two strings: one for the NetConnection.connect(NetConnectionStr) method and the other for the NetStream.play(NetStreamStr) method. For instance:
Given /data/myflvfile.flv then:
NetConnectionStr = null
NetStreamStr = "/data/myflvfile"
[Code] .....
Building the two strings is very obvious for the "local files" case, but it gets tricky in the others. The problem is that I have no smart way to guess what part of the input is the server URL and what part is the stream name + directory structure. In some examples found on the Internet, people are simply guessing that the last part of the source (what is after the last "/" found) is the NetStream name. In my case, this is not always true because the streams may be in subdirectories on the server. It is even worse because server names may contain "/" characters!
Strategies to solve it:
Connecting to server, retrieving its real URL, finding stream name
As NetConnection seems to be "smart" enough, my first attempt was to invoke connect method with the full source url. Unfortunately, I found no way to get the real server address out of a NetConnection object (connection.uri returns back the exact input). So this seems to be a dead end. Connecting to server, iteratively retrieving streams. Another strategy could be to connect to the server and then try iteratively (starting from the very end) to play streams until it works:
Try 1: stream.play(myflvfile) FAIL
Try 2: stream.play(subdirectory/myflvfile) FAIL
Try 3: stream.play(somedirectory/subdirectory/myflvfile) SUCCESS
How to do it in the original VideoDisplay component (if it is based on NetConnection/NetStream objects?)?

In a project that I'm working on, I have to be able to read input data from a serial port. The input data will be very simplistic in nature. I'm guessing more like a on/off, yes/no, true/false style of operation.I have found some examples in other languages, but nothing in AS3 or AS2. Could anyone send any sample code or a link to a tutorial that gives me some lead way on this? Which approach is better, going with a Flash projector piece, or building it in AIR? The final piece will be on a PC based system.

Is there any such effort been made?
Some more info:
it's client application (gui intensive)
By porting I was thinking of cross-compiling.

I need to port a C-like enum to Haxe:
enum Items
{
item1,
item2=0x00010000,
item3=0x00010001,
item4,
[Code].....
But Haxe doesn't allow default value it seems. How can I do this? My real enum has hundreds of entries and for those with default values I must preserve the values.

FMS and IIS are set up with separate IPs on the same server. Both are configured for port 80 because others, including 1935, are often inaccessible from certain environments. Problem is, the server's behind a router. Port 80 can only be forwarded to either the IP of FMS or that of IIS. Even if the two were on separate machines, I'd still have to deal with this.

I have a very complex social networking system built using the Adobe Flex SDK. Since we are experiencing certain performance issues, I want to move it to a "light-weight" platform, the backend is PHP so its just the UI.
What are my other options if I don't want to use Silverlight ?
I was told I could use AJAX/jQuery, which I am not familiar with - are there any GUI designers available ?What kind of GUI designer can I use to design my UI ?

I have a Flash application written in ActionScript 2 that I would like to port to the BlackBerry Playbook. The application is composed of an .swf file and a directory containing a large number of vector images. The path to these images (e.g. imagefolder/icons/icon1.swf) is hard-coded into an application and requires the image directory and the .swf file to be in the same directory.
I've installed the PlayBook SDK and have tried packaging the application with FlashBuilder 4, but I have no experience with this programme and have so far been unsuccessful. I tried placing the application in an SWFLoader component, but I then realised after reading this pdf document that MXML components are not supported. Since the app is written in AS2, I believe it cannot be compiled by Flash Builder. I don't need any any of the AIR features so I was wondering how could I embed the .swf and image directory in a Flash Builder ActionScript project so that it would run on the BlackBerry PlayBook.

Devonair and Senocular for pointing me in the right direction as per porting the Flex 2 Tween classes to AS3 Flash 9.0 Public Alpha...I *think* I got the all files moved properly and all references to the mx_internal namespace and unresolvable includes commented out, but on compiling I get (among many others):
**Error** C:Documents and Settings...Local SettingsApplication DataAdobeFlash 9 Public AlphaenConfigurationClassesmxeventsTweenEven t.as: Line 11: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs.
TweenEvent.as is is imported by Tween.as and was copied from my Flex 2 SDK. Of course, TweenEvent.as probably isn't AS2!!What does this error mean in this context?
Alternately, if anyone other than Devonair has actually transmuted the Flex 2.0 Tween class to Flash 9.0 PA and could give me a few more details I'd be grateful...

Is it possible to use the flash.net.NetConnection object to connect to my Flash remoting enabled web application over HTTPS within Tomcat or any other servlet container?
I am using the SpiceFactory cinnamon project for amf remoting and have searched for examples of using HTTPS but see only the reference to a proxy type in the NetConnection object.
If someone could provide a reference or example that would be awesome. Or if it is not possible using the flash.net.NetConnection object are there any recommendations of how to configure HTTPS for the spicefactory cinnamon library.

So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

I want to pass a rest in a netconnection call, something like this:
public function requestData(service : String, ...params) : void
{
nc.call(service, params);
}
this doesn't work since the call is expecting each parameter to be separated by commas, like:
nc.call(service, params[0], params[1], params[2]);
I've read some posts about apply, but I can't find a solution for this specific case.

The ActionScript 3.0 Reference says the following about flash.net.NetConnection:
The NetConnection class creates a two-way connection between a client and a server. The client can be a Flash Player or AIR application. The server can be a web server, Flash Media Server, an application server running Flash Remoting, or the Adobe Stratus service. Call NetConnection.connect() to establish the connection.
Does this mean I make a regular HTTP connection to any web server using an NetConnection object? I am a little confused about this as further down the section on the connect() method says connect(): Creates a two-way connection to an application on Flash Media Server or to Flash Remoting, or creates a two-way network endpoint for RTMFP peer-to-peer group communication....Pass an "http" URL to connect to an application server running Flash Remoting.. So, the application server has to have Flash Remoting?

Flex Mobile applications are view based. And I'm using Adobe Cirrus (im assuming its the same for any FMS netConnection) Does anyone know how to maintain a persistent netConnection between views in a flex Mobile Application?[code]I want to be able to trace(netConnection.nearID) on this view, go to another view and trace(netConnection.nearID) and get the same result. and be able to have a cirrusStatusHandler() function like I have a above to listen for cirrus events. Then be able to do netConnection.close() on another view if i wanted to to be able to close the connection.
Brainstorming Ideas what I was thinking I could do:I was thinking I could maybe set up the connection on the main ViewNavigatorApplication mxml file, but i have so much going on and being triggered based on netConnection status events it seems it might be really complicated to handle everything from that mxml file on each of the views. Maybe I could declare the netCon vars in the ViewNavigatorApplication mxml file, and just add event listeners to those vars on each view? But i'm not familiar with accessing vars that exist in the mainViewNavigatorApplication mxml file.I just need to be able to make the connection once, and then it stays persistent until I call netConnection.close()I guess I could use separate views where I dont need the netConnection and just have this particular view use "states" inside the view where the netCon needs to be persistent. It just seems silly be be using states since this is a view based application.[code]and the same in my Home View but i'm getting a null error when i try and call trace(netConnection.nearID) in the crationComplete function on profileView (which is after homeView) to see if it still has the same netConnection and should then be able to get the same nearID

I've built a application that communicates with Coldfusion cfc functions via Remoting. I've noticed that the NetConnection object disconnects after each call, is this expected behaviour? For some reason I was expecting the NetConnection object to stay connected until I closed it myself (I'm making about 1 request per second and had planned for it to stay open).
