Flex :: Example Flex Zend AMF Sharing Web Services Between Components In ViewStack
Aug 10, 2011
I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?

I'm working on a new project in Flex with a CakePHP backend and since I'm using Mate, I wanted to use the RemoteObject stuff it does to call CakePHP.First I tried just doing one call at a time in CakePHP but I saw that that would mean a lot of endpoints, so I looked into some like amfphp for cakephp. I saw that Zend AMF is now the successor to AMFPHP so I wanted to try to integrate it.
I probably spent 8 hours on the final solution that is probably 10 lines of code.So without further ado I give you FlexibleCake: a CakePHP controller that acts as an AMF Endpoint and is able to instantiate and call any controller / method. I also built a "tester" or "explorer" app that allows you to send requests to the end point and visualize the result.

PS there where some changes I had to make to the core CakePHP classes to make it work. It only involved modifying the comments in the model.php class I believe (since Zend AMF reads the comments to gather metadata for the functions called).

I have several mxml components in an app, all of which need the same variable called genericX. I've included that variable in the main mxml and made it public
[Bindable] public var genericX:Number = 102;
But I still can't access it from other mxml components. If I try to do this for example, it doesn't recognize the variable.
<s:Button x="{genericX}" label="Click" />

I've (actually my classmate) got a problem with loading local ZEND_AMF services on Windows 7 (XAMPP). I can't find any answer on Google or on Stackoverflow. I found one similar topic without any answers: ActionScript 3 AMF Zend fails silentlyLet me describe the problem: I've developed the UI and dataloading for a Memory(matching) Game in FLASH CS5. The games uses data from an ZEND Framework website (you can add levels/cards/images there).[code]Everything works fine on my Macbook Pro (Using MAMP as local server), but a classmate (who's helping with it) of me that is using a Windows 7 laptop with XAMPP doesn't see anything. We're both using Flash CS5.5.For some reason his Flash isn't able to load local services. When he uses the same URL path like me Flash doesn't do anything in the responder. No Error function call and No Complete function call. We've been searching for the cause and tried several things.In a ZEND_AMF tutorial on the Internet we've found an online AMF Service and put that in the code. Of course we're using a nonexisting service function so the responser will call the Error function. And yes, this works. He runs the function returnError(). The cause of this problem is obvious: Flash on my classmates PC (using XAMPP) won't load local services. Allowing swf to correspond with non-local URLs (is an option where you have to add your swf to the Flash settings) => Has happened

I have Basic Authorization mechanism on the server for WSDL/SOAP. How I can send "Authorization" header through Flex WebService?
Simplified example:

I'm having a viewstack with a few components. Those components have to execute a function with parameters coming from other components. Therefore the other component may not me loaded directly. Is there any way to load a component via AS3 with a function?

I have a Flex-Page which connects to a MySQL-DB through PHP (Zend). I run the Flex-Page on an IIS-Server (Windows Server 2008 R2) and it works. But the problem is, that i specified the web root to the C:inetpubwwwroot directory (there php is running). On the server i want it on another directory.(Now i have the main Flex Page in the directory für the webserver, and the php files are in the wwwroot directory).
When i specify the web root to an other directory, nothing works, not even on my local machine.

I'm working on a school assignment in which I have to make a basic CRUD (create, read, update and delete) content management application using the Zend AMF framework in FLEX.Basically I create a mock database and have flex print the data from the database into a data-grid. I need to also have an add form, edit+update feature and delete feature. As of now I have FLEX printing all the database info into my data-grid and my add form works as well as my delete button. My problem is I cannot get the update function/query to work. You know:
(UPDATE myTable SET valueName='".$variable."')
What happens is I have it programmed so that when you click on any row in the data-grid, the information is printed back into the add form. Here you can change the values and hit the 'update button' (not the add button) to run the update query on the php file.So my mxml looks something like this:
PHP Code:
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="{amfcall.getDatabase()}">
<mx:RemoteObject id="amfcall" destination="MyPHPclass" source="MyPHPclass" endpoint="http://localhost/FlexAMFCMSapplication/index.php" showBusyCursor="true" />
[code]....
So basically I can send the ID over to the PHP but not other values along with it, in this case the date time and name. How can I send over these edited values so the update function actually updates them?I'm assuming my update function is wrong in either the mxml or the php or both.

I have a Flex frontend connecting via RemoteObject to Zend Framework's Zend Amf. This is my only means to transport data between client layer (Flex) and the application and persistence layers (LAMP with Zend Framework).Some ways I can address security are as follows:
I can address TLS by using mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel in my services-config.xml file and ensuring Flash player is loaded into a HTTPS wrapper and is in fact using HTTPS since the AMF protocol is layered on top of HTTP RemoteObject has a setCredentials method with which I can pass AMF authentication headers to protect user related data. Assuming TLS was actually secure I can expose methods on the endpoint after authenticating the User.I can protect against cross-site scripting and other FLASH vulnerabilities with a properly set up crossdomain.xml how to I protect my endpoint against another AMF consumer? For instance, if there were another AMF consumer (not Flash so not bound by crossdomain.xml and Flash sandbox security) other than my Flex client that knew my endpoint, what would stop it from using methods that the endpoint exposes?
As far as I know I essentially need a way to authenticate my Flex application against my Zend Amf endpoint. After AMF consumer authentication, I have some of the security mechanisms I mentioned above to protect certain pieces of data (like User authentication). I can not embed some sort of authentication mechanism into my Flex swf because the swf is vulnerable to decompilation (the swf can not be trusted). While sensitive data is protected via User authentication the unprotected data is hardly public but as far as I can tell is totally open for public consumption.

i have a question about Zend Framework and mainly the model part. I know there is no abstract model class and understand why. I red a lot of blog posts about it, but couldn't find any example that would clearly explain it to me. I'm building a very basic application. Lets imagine we have just three tables.company(ID, name, street, streetNo, Town), meta(ID, name, description), company2meta(ID, companyID, metaID, value, note). All types of realtionship are there (1n n1, nm). The a need also services (amf) with Value Objects. So, here is what I think:

I've got a simple app that is currently getting information form a database and just displaying the content into a datagrid.
Instead of having this information displayed in a datagrid, I'd like to display it in a couple of labels (first name, last name, phone, etc.), but I'm not really sure how to.
Currently on creationComplete I call my php query function - which looks like this.
public function getPeople() {
return mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_people ORDER BY pers_name ASC");
}
[Code].....
Eventually my query will be modified and will only ever return 1 row from the database. So how do I get the results to display in labels instead of the datagrid?

I'm using a viewStack which have is property resizeToContent set to true. When I'm selecting a child higher than the viewStack, it's correctly resized, but when I'm selecting another child which is smaller, the viewStack isn't resized! What I want is that my viewStack get the height of the selectedChild each time.
though, the Adobe doc say :
If true, the ViewStack container automatically resizes to the size of its current child.

I've got a Flex 3 project.Does deep linking only work on viewStacks? (My project doesn't have any viewStacks). I'd like to use deeplinking based on what was selected in a comboBox. I'd like the user to be able to bookmark or use the back button based on what was selected in the comboBox.The comboBox selection determines which data is pulled from the database.Is this possible? I set-up deeplinking in another project, but it had viewStacks. And all of the deep linking examples that I've seen use viewStacks.

In flex (flash builder 4) I have a Date() property that I am passing to Zend AMF (php) and I want to store that (as well as other data) in mongoDB. Mongodb is complaining about the date because it comes across as a Zend_Date object, which appears to be an object containing several properties and Mongodb is saying that it can not accept blank properties. So, I take that to mean it needs to be converted to something else before I can store it? If so, how do I do that?
At the moment I have taken the approach of converting the Zend_Date object in to a date string to store it (in php):
$object->readyDT=date("m/d/Y H:i", strtotime($object->readyDT)); //convert to string
That works fine, and I have a string in mongodb of that date. Now, when I load the date from MongoDB, I need to convert it back to a Zend_Date so it properly converts back in to a Date() object in flex (I have to check that it's not blank or it throws errors in php):
if (isset($object->readyDT) && $object->readyDT!=="") $object->readyDT = new Zend_Date($object->readyDT, 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm');
This all works, but it seems like there should be a much easier way to take a Date() from flex and get it stored in MongoDB via Zend AMF/PHP. ?

I have as good as finished a new project I'm working on now for a while, and I have this small problem coming up at the fine tuning.The area of concern is so I believe the ViewStack I'm using, but I'm not sure so here the details.I have several check boxes (4), and only one at all times can be selected to show off associated Radio Buttons as a Group of (6). No RBtn pre selected.With the selection of a check box I also make visible a new Radio Button Group of (4). No RBtn pre selected here either.Now if I select one of the RBtn (6 - each has a different Paper size measurement showing) then I can view through a external Xml data file details as Size, basePrice and the totalPrice which is in this case the same as the basePrice!
This totalPrice is located on the first Canvas/Label in the VStack!Selecting any of the first three (3) of the second RBtn Group (4) No RBtn pre selected either! - it will show me a Paper type description, and by selecting the fourth RBtn it will show me as well a field with the extra costs for a Canvas type, and it should select the second Canvas of the VStack with the totalPrice which is basePrice plus the extrasCost Canvas Price.Now the problem is that my second VStack Canvas/Label = totalPrice (basePrice +extraCost) is not showing up immediately! (It just shows blank canceling the basePrice out), and only if I select another of the six (6) RBtn! then it is showing the second vStack with the totalPrice (basePrice +extraCost). From here on everything works perfectly!I think that I have to mention that my RBtn Group are working in a function If / Else / If /Else configuration where both the Labels on both VStack Canvases are called up at the same time. So therefore both Labels should have data available which than should be viewed when the VStack changes?
