Flex - Security Restriction - Save The Results Of A Database Query To A Local File?
Jan 2, 2012
I'm having some trouble getting around a security restriction of flex. Saving a file is apparently an action that can only be invoked upon user interaction. The problem is that after my user clicks on the save button, I need to perform a database query to get the data for the file I want to save.
Because Flex works asynchronous, I have to make the database call and then catch the ResultEvent in a different function. In that function, I no longer have the user's mouseclick event. How am I then supposed to save this file?

I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?

We have a Web login feature. We will offer Free calls to a large campaign.
Scenarios:
Because of free calls, we will offer a unique file to be downloaded and stored After a week or month we will call them and offer them our desktop application to scan and see how trusted, the user is If we dont find the same file again, we will never start business and more our own statistics Based on that report we want to do some follow ups campaign We can do this with cookies but we want user experience and trust analysis
Example: if you play a music in youtube.com, without notice your file is actually in /tmp/Flash....flv with lot of data on it.
Question: How can i do the similar using Flex/Flash from the web browser ?

I want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.

I am planning on using Flash Builder 4/Flex to write an AIR application which is primarily based around recording, storing and analyzing data.I'll be creating charts etc that need to update in almost real time.It's essential to me that the application be able to function without an internet connection so I need a local database of some variety,but I would also eventually like to build in online synchronization of the data where either database can be update each other based on newer information. Moreover, some type of encryption would definitely be welcome, and speed is a large concern
Synchronization: Primarily updates/additions/deletions will be done on the offline database, but ideally I want to have a web interface that will allow the same updates/additions/deletions and will be synced (beyond that I'm not sure exactly how to do it as I can model that based on what is most achievable).I'm wondering if there's any prebuilt engine that could handle the synchronization of 2 databases. I may end up having the web interface only be for additions, which would be significantly easier to sync.. and I may start that way, but i want to build with technologies that will best allow me to implement full online crud at some point.

I have been making huge strides in learning Flex and I am very much enjoying it, however,one thing I cannot find is how to bind results from a query in Flex. I have managed to create lists etc no problem but when I try to bind one specific value to a variable, it does not work.First off, here is my PHP function:
public function getRepnameByUsername($itemID) {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT * FROM $this->tablename where Username=?");

I'm trying to display query data into multiple TextInput Fields in Flex.
<mx:TextInput id="stagInput" text="{acContacts}" width="170" x="120" y="74"/>
This is what I'm trying but all that displays is [object Object]
I think I need to define the database field I'm wanting to display, but I'm unsure how to do this as TextInput fields don't support dataField or labelField properties. Is there another property I don't know about? How do i go about fixing this?

I have two Flash files: pre-loader and application.
Pre-loader: (D:ProjectsFlashAppsddedd.fla) is doing basically this:
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/flash/dd.swf");
mLoader.load(mRequest);
}
Application file: (D:ProjectsFlashAppsdddd.fla) is the real application and among other things is doing this:
_loader.load(_request); //where _request = "assets/html/style.css".
When debugging the pre-loader, at this point I am getting an error which says:
SecurityError: Error #2148 File SWF http://localhost/flash/dd.swf cannot access local resource file:///D|/Projects/FlashApps/dd/assets/html/style.css.
The application must be loaded by the pre-loader, it won't start when called directly. But apparently, the security settings are preventing such duo from being possible to debug. Normally when it is on a remote server, it is working ok.
What I have done so far to resolve it:
Added crossdomain.xml to my local i:xampphtdocs folder:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
[Code]....
Set File > Publish Settings -> Local Playback Security -> "Use local files only" in both files. It didn't work, so I set it to "Use network only" Also didn't work.
What else can be done to be able to debug these Flash files locally?

I want to make an offline desktop app. that stores my company's customers and their data in an XML file, just like a database. so that I'm able to load, edit (create new customers, add to their data) and save it into the XML file which is stored locally. i then want to make a Local Connection to the XML file somehow, so that others in the company can do the same from their PC.. Can anybody tell me if this is possible at all? (making a flash app that writes XML files to any location on a PC that only has network.. edit XML files through Local connection function in flash).

We are using flex for same. (Although I know flex is meant for web application and air application is best suited for desktop clients, but due to some build issues we can't go for air applications). Now according to our use case we required to read file from local file system which is not allowed in flex application due to sandbox policy. To override it we had planned to use it in local mode (i.e. running from local file system instead of deploying in web container). So after running application in local mode it bypasses sandbox policy and allows to read local file. Eventually we requires remote services call (either using web services or blaze ds) also in our application. To avoid sandbox restriction for network access in local mode we are planning to explicitly grant network access permission to our flex application.

I'm not an expert in actionscript but I know a thing or two, but basically I've been given a task in a new web-based piece of software whereby users can drag and drop objects onto a background bitmap. The amount of objects and the co-ordinates of each object will then need to be saved for each user, so when they log back in (regardless of what machine they are using, they'll see where they have left off.)I've seen mentions of using the shared object, but this won't do as the user will not always be using the same machine.

I know it's possible to load and save a local file using CS4 and Flash Player 10, but my question is if I can load a SWF local file without using 'browse' and 'load' methods and then save it. I really pretend to "copy" a specific SWF local file into another folder on my HD and I think this is possible loading first this file and then saving it. For this reason I don't want the dialog box appears (with browse method). ('maybe with 'Loader'?)

I've made a query in PHP, and I'm trying to send the results back into Flash via AS3, but it's throwing up this error...
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Here is the relevant part of the PHP and AS3 code, including the query. The Flash variable rssAdd is passed over to the PHP which is using it in the PHP query accordingly.
$url = $_POST['rssAdd'];
$query= SELECT title
FROM Feed
WHERE category = (SELECT category
FROM Feed
WHERE url =$url) AND url!=$url;
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo $query;
Here is the AS3 code I've done so far.
function recommendation(){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST
var recVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

I located a code example to reference my ASP.NET web service and have saved it as MainDocument.as. I have a combo box cbRentalType that has entries of Party (value=3), Sale (value=1) and All (value = All). I have a combo box cbCatSelect that allows the user to select Product Categories. I have a text input field txtSearch where the user enters their search string.
What I need to do:
1. Submit a query with RentalType=1 or 3 or Blank, Category = dbCatSelect.selectedvalue and Product Keyword = txtSearch to my web service.
2. The ASP.NET web service returns all database entries from MS Access query named ProductDetailsAll. These query results need to be populated in individual rectangle objects with dynamic text fields for Product Name, Image, Description and Price. How do I set these dynamic fields to populate data from my query?
3. The Flash movie clip contains 16 rectangles, or can house up to 16 product results from the web service. If more than 16 results are returned, how do I populate a new page of product details in my movie clip?
4. How do I reference the outgoing variables in Actionscript 3.0 pertaining to CategoryID, RentalType and search string? How/where do I store the incoming variables for Product Name, Description, Image and Price?

I need to run a query and convert the results to an XML string. I *think* I need to do all of this in PHP but I wanted to get some guidance as sometimes I make things more difficult than necessary.
Do I have 2 scripts... one to query and one to process the results to XML? Or can I put them both in the same script. To do the latter is not proper OOP practice, correct?
Once that is done, I can get the data into Flash. I need it to be XML though because the same data is being used elsewhere outside of Flash.
Is this the proper, most efficient way of handling this task?

I am working on a function to generate a form at runtime in Flex based on a call to the DB. The call to the DB returns the field types, id, tooltips etc as an arraycollection, the arraycollection is then parsed in order to ascertain what control to display based on the type field in the array - this bit works fine.However, i am stuck on trying to save the form fields back to the database using a CFC.my form rendering code is as follows but how do i save values entered back to the database? rendering code..

i am using Flash CS4 (AS3) + AMFPHP + MySQL to do own flash frontend for Wordpress CMS. Everything is going fine but i`ve got one problem. Problem with properly display of result of query in AS3 by using ArrayCollection.
When i check my service in "amfphp/browser/" in web browser i`ve got this (with all needed data):
...
(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
filterFunction = (null)
length = 2
[Code].....
I know that "result" is an ArrayCollection type but i don`t know how to get rows and columns from this. I know that my data is there but i have no idea how to get it.
how to get to Arrays and simple data variables which are in ArrayCollection.
P.S. I tried also change query type in service.PHP for mysql_fetch_query but in that case i`ve got only one row (not all data).

My Flex app downloads a bunch of images. When the user closes the browser window (or navigates away from the page), those images shouldn't be saved in the local cache. HTTP headers for the SWF file tells browser to fetch it from the website every time -- that is, it shouldn't save the SWF file locally. I just want to make sure that any of the images that the Flex app downloads isn't saved locally.
I checked Windows XP & Flash 9 for this. And nothing was stored locally. I assume this is true across all platforms and all versions of Flash greater than 9?

When I GZIP an swf file, the size goes from 1,21 mb to 1,86 mb...I guess, as a colleague of mine said, that the swf is already binary and can't be compressed anymore.Conclusions is also that zipping swf files shouldn't be done.
