Flex :: Retrieve Body Of A HTTP 403 With Flash?
Dec 15, 2009
I've got a simple YouTube API client put together, written in Flex, that uses a plain ol' URLRequest object to handle Google's "ClientLogin" authentication scheme. Everything works perfectly, except for one case: when Google responds with a 403 and a response body indicating that I should prompt the user for additional information (specifically, a CAPTCHA request).
The problem I'm having is that in this case, I need to be able to retrieve the body of the 403 response, as the body contains information Google expects me to use to assemble the CAPTCHA (e.g., an image URL, etc.). It looks like Flash fails to populate the URLLoader's data property when it encounters a 403 (which is where the response body would normally show up), so I can't tell the difference between a "403: Login Failed" and a "403: Login Succeeded, but We Want a CAPTCHA".
As a backup, I figured I'd have a look at as3crypto's TLSSocket code, but I haven't been able to make any of that stuff work with Google (or even one of my own SSL certs, for that matter).
Is it possible to access the body ofa 403 response with Flash (and if so, how)? And if not,Does anyone have personal experience with a suitable workaround?

I'm new to Flex and couldn't figure out yet how to send binary data to the server as the body of a POST request. The HTTPService component doesn't seem to support this. The FileReference doesn't seem to support setting the data via the Flex API.

My swf will potentially live on sites with embed codes that do not allow script access to the movie. I need to pull a cookie from response which is typically simple using javascript, but as the swf does not have access to script, javascript is not an option. Can I access cookies or the cookie header in the response? If that is not possible is there any access to the raw response, headers and all?

I can retieve the data using standard http however the data will be required to connect to a https connection only.How do i go about doing this.I've looked a on the internet and cant find anything, The only thing i've found is crossdomain but i don't think im on the right lines with that.The flash movie will be exported and ran as a projector file rather than a thml embed swf.

We're developing a Flex-based component that's going to be hosted inside another company's product. Due to the nature of their hosting environment, the Flash movie will run in its own <iframe> tag.The Flex app calls out to our REST services via HTTPS, and authenticates with an HTTP cookie. This works beautifully in Chrome, Firefox, Safari... everything except IE. I compared requests from Chrome and IE using Fiddler, and noticed that they are identical, save for the HTTP Cookies. IE omits several, including the one used for authentication.

I am trying to retrieve the ByteArray from a file selected using the FileReference class so that I can pass this to a Web Service call that I am making to Sharepoint.Is there any way I can do this using Flash Player 9 without having to upload to a remote server first and then downloading the file to extract the ByteArray?
This is assuming you can't use Adobe Flash Player 10 and the data property from the FileReference class.

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've got a small client/server test application where I have a Flex app that makes an HTTP request of a server app. The server app is a script running on my local machine, listening on port 8001. The client is a swf that I am running locally, and uses mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to make the page request.
The HTTPService is being set up as per below:
_HttpService = new HTTPService();
_HttpService.url = "http://localhost:8001";
_HttpService.contentType = "text/xml";
When I make a basic page request, my server app is first receiving a "GET /crossdomain.xml HTTP/1.1" request, which is failing since I don't have a crossdomain.xml file in place. The reason I don't have one in place is because this is all happening on my local machine (for now) and I shouldn't need one (I don't think).
I definitely had this code working before without a crossdomain.xml when I was using Flex 3.x. I thought I had it working with Flex 4 as well. Now I'm using Flex 4.5. Is there an issue here, possibly due to security policy changes?With all of this happening on localhost, why is the Flash player requesting a crossdomain.xml file?

Here is an issue i'm struggling to solve for quit some time now.I have a python + GAE backend with a flex client that communicates via JSON. I'm using flex's HttpService bound to a Responder with result and fault callbacks. When python raises an exception, I don't seem to get it in flex. I did some research and found out that the problem probably lies in the fact that the flash runtime cannot handle http responses with status code other than 200.

I've got a fun problem for ya'll. I've got an XML flash menu with sub menus and all. When you click and menu item with a sub menu, the menu expands nicely. When you click to navigate to a new page the menu "closes" to its basic appearance...
What I'm trying to do is have the menu expanded at the appropriate point automatically if you're on a sub menu page. I've been thinking how to do this and I'm guessing CSS would be the key. Could the flash menu detect a BODY ID and expand appropriately should it detect the right body id.Check out the ZIP file for source files HTML/CSS/FLASH/XML.

I am trying to access a .Net service which requires an authentication header. If WebService is used it works fine. But when it is accessed using HTTPService it throws error. The project is already done by somebody else using HTTPService. Now changing to webService requires some time since there needs to be modification in a lot of files.
Below is the SOAP envelop required by the service.

This clients site has a flash menu, but the content of the page is in html. I know how to write the actionscript so that each menu button links to a different html page. However, I would also like the flash menu to show each page buttons link as "Active" when its on that certain page.For example, I'm on the home page. The "home" link in the flash menu is hilited. I click "products", and the products.html loads. I'm not sure how to write the actionscript so that the "products" link in the flash menu is now hilited. The only way I know to do it, would be to create a different menu.swf for each page. But I'm sure there's a way to do it using only one menu.swf.
Also, I'm doing the menu.swf on a timeline in the fla. I'm not sure how to do it otherwise or if what I need can be done on a timeline.

I'm trying to replace some contents in a website by using the following code:[code]The problem is that I have some flash embedded on the DOM and whenever I try to do the replacement the browser crashes.Somebody should thing that a prepend or append in the right place should be a better method
to achieve this, but the elements I'm trying to locate and replace are html comments and the append prepend methods do not seem to work with this kind of nodes so they have to be treated as literal strings.

Is it possible to modify a shape within a body after assigning it, for example I have a box shape for my game hero body, and when I press the down arrow I want my hero to crouch witch means that I need the body shape to be resized.
I've already searched in google but it appears that the topic of modyfing shapes is not so popular. If it's impossible maybe you know a better way of doing this.

an easy answer for 99% of you. I have a custom class 'Users()'. In PHP I have all the values being populated correctly. When I go to Flash Builder - and do the test function - All the data comes back properly. However, when I click a button and refer to the lastResult property of the CallResponder - it comes up NULL the first time, and then if the button is clicked a second time it will return the correct result. What step am I missing? I had the same problem with something simliar last night and am getting BEYOND frustrated - especially since I know it is some SMALL detail I'm overlooking.So just for clarification - lets say there is a button named button1So button1's click handler:1) Validates the text input properties2) Asks the server if that user and password match3) If they do - then I want it to grab all of that specific users info and put it into a User class. Again - when I test this function/method from within Flash Builder all the values come back as they should. It's just on the first button click they come back NULL...he second click they populate fine - I.E.-
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (First Click - NULL)
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (Second click - "Jack")

I'm trying to streamline my error reporting for internal testing. When I use URLLoader/URLRequest to load a page that responds with the 500 HTTP status code, I catch it with the IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but can't find a way to get the response body. Unlike with Event.Complete, loader.data (My URLLoader) is an empty string.
Yes, I can use Fiddler/Firebug to get the actual response, but this would be good to catch intermittent/hard-to-reproduce errors when I don't have these running.

I'm trying to create spinning shapes floating in space. There is still gravity in the environment, however it should not affect these platform objects because they are static (right?). How can I apply a constant angularVelocity to it though? It doesn't seem to apply when I assign it a value, probably due because it's static.
The simplest example would be a spinning gear, an automated teeter-totter (not influenced by external forces). All I'm trying to make is a spinning rectangle that could interfere with a ball controlled by the user.Do I need to use Joints to pin it in place? How can I specify the details of not being influenced by the dynamic objects?

I use flex and php to retrieve information from my sql database. What i have been doing is formatting the result from the database query into xml and then putting the result into an arraycollection. It all works fine except one of my database fields contains a lot of text that website users enter and as xml doesn't like tags like <> so I leave it un formatted but I would like to format it. Would I be better using flashvars or text than xml? Or is there another way?
