Flex :: Connecting To Web Server Using Flash.net.NetConnection?
Nov 17, 2010
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?
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Flash Media Server working with a little video playback application I wrote a few years ago that has suddenly stopped working.I'm using CS3/Actionscript 3.My app uses the FLVPlayback Component, and was working well last time I checked. I recevied a report that the videos stopped working, and have been looking into it.I figured I'd add a bunch of event listeners to the FLVPlayback's ncMgr.netConnection so I could get debug info on things like io errors, net status, etc.The problem I'm running into is that the netConnection is null when I set it to anything on my Flash Media Server, and adding any event listeners to this netConnection throws errors.Here's what I've tried so far:
Playback of a local FLV file works fine.In the FLVPlayback documentation, I found an example and stole the URL of the stream they were using in the example, and that works fine, although it is an HTTP protocol stream rather than RTMP.Any attempt to access FLV files on my Media Server, which has worked fine in the past, basically cause the FLVPlayback object to sit and hang in "buffering" mode and never progresses beyond this point.The netConnection object in this case is null.Here's my code:[code]........
Again the purpose of this is to troubleshoot the video streaming from the Flash Media Server, and it seems like there is no netconnection to the server being created.Does this mean that the server is not working, or is there a problem with the way I'm trying to access the content on the server?This was all working fine before, and I have set up the server-side application .ASC files and such to allow things to work fine on the server end.
I'm trying to connect to an FMS server with a Flex application. I can throw the rtmp URL straight in as the source for a VideoPlayer and it will work, but can't figure out how to get it to work with a NetStream. The pure Flash Video element works as in the FMS Flash demos, but is extremely laggy and lacks all the nice functionality of the built VideoPlayer. Is there any documentation on working with FMS with Flex? We're at a point where we need to decide quickly if FMS will do what we need to do or if we should purse other technologies.
I have inherited a custom application on Flash Media Interactive Server 3.0 that broadcasts audio in real time. The custom app is written using Adobe Flash Professional 8 and actionscript 2.0.
A little background of how the custom app works When a user connects to the media server to join a stream, our custom application calls out to a seperate application server (that is not Flash) to determine if the user is allowed to connect to a broadcast stream and which stream they should join. We use Xml.sendAndLoad() to do this. The application server we call sends back Xml to the custom App on the Flash Media Server.
I'm trying to create an app that multiple users would log into a server hosted over the local network. When testing the app in Flash Builder it connects, but when I run it on my phone it does not. I'm using XMLSocket like so:
I have Flex/AIR app that connects to a tomcat server via BlazeDS. I'm not finding that I have to integrate an old webapp (struts/jsp) and I'd like to keep that webapp untouched except for login, authentication and session handling. Also a 3rd java app that uses httpclient.
Currently I have some blazeDS remote objects to handle login/logout with a few RPC calls. In turn, FlexSession objects are created and handled. Is there a way to use httpclient and javascript to call those blazeds RPCs so I dont have to recode and have 3 different means to handle logins and sessions?
I have a Flash client that I want to connect to a server. Both are using localhost and port 50000 so there shouldn't be any cross-domain problems. I also set Access Network Only in the publishing settings. When I call the XMLSocket connect, the server seems to get a new connection. But, the XMLSocket.onConnect callback is not called with success=true.[code]...
This is what we have... a new Actionscript developer (Me) and a seasoned Visual Basic/ASP developer. We've also got some SQL Servers... We need to write a web application (Flash) that checks user authentication (User Name and Password) against a SQL Server database before allowing the user to continue through the program. After the user completes various components of the eLearning program, a brief quiz will follow. At the end of the whole eLearning program, a lengthy quiz will be given and those results will be scored and stored in a database.
I need to know what is required to do this... this being the database connectivity? I've been seeing PHP/MySQL tutorials but is there some way to hook up into ASP/SQL Server? Furthermore, how exactly does this work? I've read that with PHP, flash will write and store variables in PHP which is then used to get results from the database. I'm not exactly sure tho. If any one can point me to a great tutorial that explains everything about ASP/SQL Server..
I'm using the RTMFP protocol to publish and play video and audio, but i'm with a little problem. I installed the FMS 4 Development Server in a Windows Server machine located in our local network and it works perfectly. In order to deploy our application, we have a remote server with a fresh install of the Ubuntu 10.04 Server, and the FMS 4 installed in this server. In other server we have the Java and Flex application, which will be used in the client browser.
The problem is that when trying to change the NetConnection url to the remote FMS server, which is the Ubuntu server, the netconnection can't connect to it. When changing to the RTMP protocol it connects, but with the RTMFP don't. I can't find any information in the log files or anything else.
I have access to a flash media server on a CDN.I want to allow people to easily connect to this server. Currenty, they need to an additional software to connect to the FMS.It would be nicer if they could just connect to the server with their browser.So I assume I need to create a SWF file and connect from this file to the FMS (with Actionscript).The end result would look like the demo of the jquery webcam plugin, only that the SWF file would establish a connection to the FMS and stream the video to the FMS
function Function() {}Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetConnection was unable to invoke callback onBWDone. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onBWDone not found on flash.net.NetConnection and there is no default value. at MinCam()
I am trying to connect to an FMS application without flash (no SWF). To the best of my knowledge,the only way to accomplish this is thru the admin APIs, is that correct? If so, how do I return meaningful values from the admin API? I can call functions and stuff using the broadcastMsg API call but I can't seem to get back any values. All that is returned is a useless "Success" type message. I have tried using shared objects and the getSharedObjects API call, but the call doesn't return any info on the contents of the shared objects, just their names and some info on their persistance.
Is there another way of accomplishing my goal outside of the Admin API? If not how do I return meaningful variables from the Admin API? Is there a way to hack or extend the admin API?
I am trying to set up DVR streaming using FLME. I'm following this tutorial: http:[url]........I'm up to Step 2,
I put in the following information into the FLME: FMS URL: rtmp://222.222.222.222/dvrcast_origin Stream: mp4:sample.f4v
Then click 'Connect' , but I get an error "Failure to connect to primary server verify that your server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry". My server is a 32-bit windows 2007 VPS , with FMS running.I don't know if I set up the DVR Cast application correct. All I did was copy the dvrcast_origin into the installationdirectory/applications, then I started a new instance of dvrcast_origin with _definst_...Also, I am running the trial version of FMS, and DVR needs FMIS. Is there a way I can just run FMIS?
I try to establich the connection with asc file from applications/videochat $connection_string="rtmp://videochat/"; And I'm getting the result from media server Connecting to the video server...>>The client does not have permission to connect to the application, or the application expected different parameters from those that were passed.>>The connection was closed successfully
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.
I followed the above example in AS2,but only get the error:
Call to a possibly undefined method getNetConnection through a reference with static type fl.video:INCManager.Here's my code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
I need a solution for this: when the port 1935 is closed, the NetConnection switch rtmpt (port 80). The NetConnection class built in function: proxyType="HTTP" not works or I use not rightly.In the FLVPlayback class works this function, but I don't know how..
i m new for FMS I just wanna make a connection, I put swf file in FMS folder and here my codepackage{ import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.display.Sprite; importflash.text.TextField; import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;public class main extends Sprite private var
Can anyone tell me why I would not be getting Netconnection.NetworkChange and Netconnection.Closed events would not be getting fired when I am working on Flash CS5?
I get the Success event, but when I am attempting to test my reconnection code I pull out my network cabled and I never get the closed event.
Interestingly, I do get the Closed and NetworkChange events when I am debugging, but not when I just run the movie.
I have FMS 3.5.2 installed on a VMWare CentOS image running under OS X. I have the CentOS IP mapped to the host "fms.vm" on both the host (OS X) and CentOS machine and can access the FMS Admin just fine, either via a browser on OS X or a browser on CentOS. No problem there.
Am publishing a live stream from server to server per:I noticed that about every 10 minutes or so the stream would seem to go down.n instance there is unloaded every 10 minutes like clockwork. Message reads "Instance _definst_ is shutdown by the script... Unloaded application instance _definst_." This is preceeded by the"NetConnection.Connect.IdleTimeOut" message.During the 10 minutes inbetween, the stream displays fine on the viewer.The live docs say this message means "the publisher of the stream is idle and not transmitting data
I am getting "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" error when trying to connect to my FMS 3.5 server from Internet.Things work pretty well when the application is hosted and accessed on my local network. Now when I want to connect my live stream application to Internet it isn't working. Public IP for my server is of type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx (My machine is mapped to the ip so to connect I need to mention the port as well).I am running IIS and FMS on the same machine. I have changed the default tcp/ip port of iis to 8080 and the ports for FMS are set to 1935,80.I have updated the HTTPPROXY.HOST value in fms.ini to HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8080 (port of IIS)HTTP tunneling and HTTP Proxy are also enabled.
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?
Let's say user A connected to the FMS server with an RTMFP NetConnection, and user B connected to the server with an RTMP connection. If I want to connect them together, would it be better if I also connect A to an RTMP NetConnection to the server?
I'm creating a very, very basic AIR application which mainly just needs to check if a given FMS is up and running. To do that, I'm simply connecting to the FMS and after a successful connection, disconnecting to free up the connection slots. All is repeated at some interval. This is like a monitoring tool.
However, looking into the admin panel (Influxis) I can see that the number of active connections is ever growing, even though I'm calling close() on the NetConnection instance every time.
Also, adding a timer to trace the netConnection.connected value outputs always "true", after the close() function has been called.
What Approach can you use to Connect Adobe Air Application to a Local Network? Examples of function is send a message to other computer that is connected to a network, sending files or viewing their desktop.
