Flex :: RTMFP Direct Peer-to-peer Connection Working On Windows XP / But Not On Windows 7
Mar 1, 2012
we're having a strange problem on a project here. When we use NetConnection in combination with a NetGroup to initiate communication between two local AIR applications on Windows XP, they always both connect to the NetGroup succesfully and detect each other as neighbors. However, on Windows 7 both applications connect succesfully to the NetConnection and NetGroup both don't detect each other as neighbors.To reproduce this problem, here are two AIR applications:[code]
These applications can connect and send message to each other without a problem on Windows XP. On Windows 7 however, they cannot.Does anyone know why this wouldn't work on Windows 7 and what steps can be taken to make it work? It's critical to our project that this works.In some cases, the applications take quite a long time to detect each other as neighbors (up to 15 seconds in some cases), in other cases they detect each other immediately. Does anyone know what could cause this delay?
We developed one video chat application in which one user can chat communicate with anohter user. Latency is coming on one side in peer to peer connection.
When running a peer-assisted multicast video event, what determines when a peer might switch to another peer?What I'm asking is that a peer joins the group, is handed a few peers that may be decent cadidates to pull the video stream from.They start pulling that stream from peer1 and if they can't connect (or I assume if the connection is terrible) they will try the next peer.What if I want the peer to give up (and try another peer) if the quality of the stream coming from a peer is not terrible but is not great either.Is that configurable?
One workaround for this seems to be very briefly using a server to authenticate and setup a peer to peer connection, such as Adobe Cirrus. Another workaround is simply not using peer-to-peer, and instead setting up a dedicated server using Java or PHP to communicate between users.
It seems to me, that if you can use Java on a server to communicate between two users, shouldn't you be able to use Java in your program to directly handle peer-to-peer communications, no server needed?
And, if it's at least theoretically possible, would someone mind pointing me to a good tutorial on integrating Flash and Java, and using Java to do peer-to-peer? The tutorials and examples I've managed to find so far on both subjects haven't been very illuminating.
I am trying to implement the actionscript program described at this address. http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Create_a_P2P_file_sharing_application-16539.html. It lets two flash client connect to the cirrus service and share a file using the flash peer to peer facilities.
The problem is that I would like to display a progress bar to the downloading client for long files. There does not seem to be any progress-type event been triggered by data sent by NetStream.Send. This particular function appears to have been created by adobe to send tiny update and meta-data code.
Is there a way to display a progress bar of downloaded data when using a netstream object?
The alternative would be to break the data into small packets and send them individually; then increment the progress bar as they are received by the client. Unfortunately this creates a lot of overhead for the simple problem of displaying a progress bar.
I've installed FLASH MEDIA DEVELOPMENT SERVER 4 for testing. I wonder if there is a way to disable Stratus/Cirrus peer introduction services included in this version of FMS, because I need to simulate Flash Media Interactive Server 4 (not the Enterprise version) to adjust my application properly for cheaper solution.I am using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS and I want to test, what are the differences of usage and how to do it right, even implement a fallback, when no peer introduction services are working on the server.
I'm building a chat using Flex. The problem is how to do that new user get the list off all users online and added to the lists of all users. I try to put this information in DataGrid through dataProvider "callerns"[code]...Exchange user names and peer IDs between all connected users
I'm having an issue with the PDF displaying outside the viewable area of the mx:HTML control in Flex. When the application starts up - the mx:HTML is set to a certain size, but can be enlarged if the application is maximized. These are the following conditions to replicate it: Issue only happens in Windows (Windows 7, not on Mac) Issue only happens with Reader X installed (not with previous versions) Issue only happens when running the built app, does not happen in debug / development mode from FlashBuilder
I'm running ant to compile a Flex application, and the build keeps failing when running it on a windows command line. Other people in my team can successfully run the very same build under mac and linux. This is the error shown in the command prompt:
[Code]...
All tokens are set in corresponding build.properties and filter .properties files (and, as I said before, it compiles perfectly under mac and linux). The windows version is 7 Ultimate, FLEX_HOME is set as an environment variable to the Flex SDK 3.5 (the 3.5.0.12683 build that comes with Adobe Flash Builder Burrito). ${compiler.fork} is set to false, to avoid an issue with the SDK and the source files being in different logic drives.
I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference(); private function onClick():void { fileReference = new FileReference(); fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);
From an Adobe Air application, I need a function to launch the Windows Virtual Keyboard (c:windowssystem32osk.exe). I tried the Native Process, but it didn't work when telling it to execute cmd.exe /C osk.exe. How should I launch the keyboard application from an Adobe Air application?
I have a mp4 file which is to be used in an application. Currently i am in the stage of figuring out the technology to be used for this job. I am familiar with flex and am hoping that i be able to use it for the application. But i can not figure out a way to play the file in flex. I have been able to play the file only in windows media player and that required the installation of three codecs : Mp4Audio.ax, Mp4Video.ax, Mp4Src.ax.
As i see it, it will be very convenient if i could embed a windows media player plugin in flex or i could specify the audio and video codecs in the flash player
I have a flex application (.swf) and want to create a projector file. When I choose File-> create projector I get the .app file because I work on a Mac. I know I can create both projector formats for windows and mac using the export feature in Flash Professional. But this is not an option since it's Flex.Is there any other way rather than switching to windows to create the file?
I want to provides an option in my air/flex application. A user can check an option and the application starts when windows starts.I don't find with google how to do this, someone knows do that ?
does anyone have an idea or developed before windows authentication through flex application.I have a semi solution when user enters his/her AD username and password, and application send this data to web service which handles AD authentication, but this is one extra step which will give full comfort for users.
I am developing a simple text chat application with fms4, for this application, i am using adobe stratus service for developing this application and i just want to know about disconnected peerID.
I am developing a video system using the peer-assisted networking of FMS. but when I have published video successed, I can't receive the video at some endpoint.
Adobe Cirrus offers a number of options for transferring data from peer to peer: Directed Routing, Object Replication and Multicasting to name a few.I just want to send the data to one specific peer, its fine for other peers to 'see' it in transit.
My experiments with Directed Routing (the obvious answer) have not gone well. all the sendto... methods fail, while NetGroup.post works fine on the same netgroup. I am concerned about using direct connections because of reliability.
Has anyone successfully implemented a one to one messaging strategy (not one to many), which can still message between non-connected peers - (Directed Routing) or solved this problem successfully?
I am considering various workarounds, but I am quite perplexed that these NetGroup methods: sendToNearest, sendToNeighbour & sendToAllNeighbours just seem to fail, for no apparent reason.
I've written a basic FTP client to allow me to upload files through the browser without using the FileReference.upload() func (because it's damn slow). I've got all the socket logic worked out and it works for one upload. When the upload is completed, the FTP data socket is closed by the socket.close() func which triggers a response from the command socket and starts the whole process over again. This logic works perfectly on my Mac in both Safari and FF.
I can upload files and cancel uploads and it all works as I want. When I test it on Windows (IE 8, FF 3.5, Safari 4 on WinXP and Win7) it is busted. I've tracked down the problem to the fact that on Windows, the socket.close() function is not causing the server to close the connection. I don't know if this is because it's not sending a proper command or what... but that's where it's at.
When attempting to take a screen capture using BitmapData.draw() on a Canvas containing a Video Component of an incoming stream, here is the error I encounter:

We have a situation where a web application within an intranet requires windows authentication. This way employees of the company can login to their desktops and have automatic access to the web application and also be identified automatically without having to login because Windowns Authentication takes care of that. The problem is that we've added a Flex module to the web application. The web application comes up fine and authenticates the user can then navigate to the page where we have the Flex application. Which loads fine. The problem is that the Flex application also needs to communicate with the same server about this user but this communication is not working and is prompting the user for a password. Even if the correct user/pass is entered it fails and the Flex application can't talk to the server which requires Windows authentication.
Our expectations was the since the IE browser housing the flex application was already authenticated that all communication from the Flex app would also carry with it the necessary information to enable it to access the server without authentication.
I am working on a short animated story, which has a scrubbable timeline and chapter headings. I used TimelineMax for sequencing it. For the most part, it is working fine. I am seeing some strange behavior that pop up, though: sprites disappear, functions stop responding to user input, seams of the sprites become transparent -- all small issues but pretty hard to nail down because they happen in Mac only.
So I am wondering what is wrong with Flash, and why it misbehaves on a Mac?
I have a new i5 core computer running Windows 7 64bit retail. With Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 installed Flash CS4 becomes so unresponsive that it is completely unusable. Uninstall KIS and it works absolutely fine. I've already read on another forum that someone else is experiencing the same issue with the same combination of products.
"The specified module could not be found C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.DLL" is the message that comes up everytime I have Adobe Flash CS4 installed and right click near any file, just not in open programs. After right clicking and having this annoying message pop up, it restarts Windows Explorer. Whenever I uninstall the program everything's fine, however I want to use this product (free trial) but none of my downloads and installations of it (at least 5) have worked! I check for a VersionCue.DLL and I can't find it, also when I choose things like Action Scriptt 3.0 and 2.0 or any other selection at the start up menu, it freezes and quits!
Last week I allowed the latest Flash upgrade to be installed on my pc. And haven't been able to view any webpage using IE9.0.8112.16421 without all adverst or video screens flashing on and off. I can't make them go away. Also the video screen stays stuck in the top left corner of the screen, making it impossible to see or use anything under it.I uninstalled the Flash and reinstalled it. Still no joy.I tried to find the older - working perfectly - Flash version but can't find or reinstall it.
I am working on a modular application. The problem is that scrolling doesn't work with datagrid and AdvancedDataGrid even in a non-modular application on FF and Chrome on Windows, works fine on IE. On mac, it works fine with FF 4.0 and chrome. how to get it working on FF and chrome on windows?
