I have 2 questions about remote shared objects in Flex/ActionScript3:1) If I connect to a remote shared objects, but do not handle the SYNC event, will the shared object still receive data from the server? ie. will the server still broadcast data to this client ? This is what I expect

I'm planning on building a Flex based multiplayer game, and I'm researching what will be required for the server end. I have PHP experience, so I started looking at ZendAMF.
Now in this game, I'll need the concept of rooms, and real time updates to clients in those rooms, so it looks like I'll be using remote shared objects (correct, yes?). I'm not seeing where ZendAMF can support this.It seems to indicate that ZendAMF isn't going to do what I want. WebORB for PHP seems to be the only PHP based solution that does messaging, but on that page it doesn't mention "real-time" next to it like the Java based ones below it do.
We are going to develop a simple chatroom in flex using Red5.Should we store UserList in a Remote Shared Object or Server Side List?Are there any example exit on Red5 or FMS , which uses Server Side programming and Remote Shared Objects? Red5 examples are not documented at all.
View 2 RepliesI have the following application in flex. I want to call two different remote objects in parallel.
[Code]...
Now what the methods do is to print sth. when they are called, then wait 8 secs and print sth. after that. When clicking each button seperatly, it works, both methods are started in parallel. However, calling both method the same time, leaves one service to wait with its call while until the other is executing. How can I avoid that?

View 40 RepliesIs it possible to store instances of a class in a cookie or in shared objects.
Basically in my application I have an object "Diagram" that the user can create. If they hit save, I want to store the current instance as a cookie and allows them to reload it later.
Alternatively, I could see about getting them to store the saved version on the hard disk. But even then, all I want to save and retreive is my actionscript object.
I've tried storing the object to SharedObject.data.diag, but when I try to retrieve the object from the cookie doing SharedObject.data.diag as Diag returns null.
There is a small feature I have implemented that makes uses of the Local Shared Objects to work properly.
I wish to be able to help the user self-diagnose if he is unable to use the said feature because he refused access for this computer to writing local shared objects and give him instructions to work around the issue if it applies to him.
I'm looking for something similar to the muted property of the Microphone class [URL] or the Camera class.

View 4 RepliesWhen running a flash application that I run locally i.e., I get to it from a browser but with a file path
file:///C:/Projects/test/bin-debug/Main.html#
Now, most of the time the shared objects are stored in

How flash decides if the application is infact localhost or localWithNet (local with Network access). Rebooting can sometimes make it revert, but I've also had it stay localhost for a few days then revert.
I was trying to observe how some of the top browser game makers are implementing the asset management and also study their animation techniques. So I was trying to crack my browsers cache and share-object paths to peep into the assets.What I have noticed is that all the files are hashed or encrypted with unreadable names and all of them have .sol extension example somethingbigandunredable.png.sol or somethinglesebigandhugtring. swf.sol and so on.I thought they are just suffixed with .sol and just removed the .sol and tried to open the png but its neither showing the previw nor opening in the browser. Same with the swf file.So I was wondering if there is any way to peep into their assets. I am aware of swf decompiler tool (currently using) which can extract only the unecrypted swfs.
View 1 RepliesI am working on an Adobe Flex front-end with a Java back-end using JPA for persistence. he protocol I am using is remote objects (AMF) implemented with BlazeDS.I started out with a service-facade and entity DAOs, but without any specific DTOs. The same POJOs, the domain objects, were passed in the service-facade as those used as DTOs passed to the Hibernate DAOs.However, the latest few days I have been thinking whether this is a good approach or not. The latest article on the subject I read was this one:Interesting JPA Pattern blogThe situation:Say I have POJO Book with a unidirection ManyToOne relation with the POJO Category (i.e. each book may only be associated with one category, but the same category may be associated with many books). I see some alternatives:Alternative 1:I expose a method/operation addUpdateBook(Book book). In the implementation of this operation I add/update both the book and the referenced category.

I am using FMS3 and Flash CS3 (actionscript2) in a Flash based whiteboard application. Multiple users can join this whiteboard. I want to save chat text and drawing in same sequence as live time.

I am generating unique slot for chat and drawing but still same error occuring.
View 8 RepliesI'm having trouble connecting to a remote persistent shared object. When I run from the Flash authoring environment it works. But when I run it from a browser it doesn't. The code attaches an event listener to the sync event, and then calls so.connect(nc).
As mentioned - it works inside Flash authoring only. In both cases the connection to the server is successful. I also tried setting client.readAccess to "/" in the application.onConnect function of the server-side code - but it doesn't help. (Everything was written by me including the server-side application code. I have full control and access to the server).
Also, I can see the remote object exists on the server in the admin console.And as mentioned, when running inside Flash CS5 - the onsync gets triggered after connecting to the shared object.But, the same code under a browser - doesn't trigger the onsync.The SharedObject.getRemote method on the client side returns an object on both occasions.
clarify the different logical instantiations of objects in actionscript?So far it seems there are 3 layers of instantiations, for lack of a better term.The first one is declaring a variable/type.Next is instantiating that variable with something solid in the code, like a method or function? Is this just a way to glue things together? Then after that you instantiate it on the stage, is this something you have to do explicitly, or is it a side effect? Is this "3 layer" concept the correct way of looking at it, kind of like the MVC for flash app logic?
View 2 Repliesi don't know how to say that in technical terms. and i think this is the reason to why i cant get good answer from Google.i have xampp on my local winxp machine. i use it for developing websites locally then upload these files to my clients shared hosting accounts.
the problem that in 2 years i have always found differences between how xampp works and how the web server work.some code work locally but dont remotely and the opposite. also flash behave differently on xampp than the remote web server.is there is a way i can get the server configuration and use it with xampp like get the server php.ini and use it with xampp?
I am trying to understand what is going on in a SWC that I am importing from Flash CS4 into Flex Builder 3. Specifically I am using a SWC supplied by a Designer as the animation for a custom preloader (a subclassed DownloadProgressBar).The issue I am trying to understand is, once the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE is fired, I cleanup by removing the swc by running this [code]though even after I have removed this (which is successful, as I have checked by comparing this.numChildren before and after the call) the key framed animation still continues to run (not visibly). This has been detected by the Designer placing a trace in the time line of the animation (in Flash). Can anyone tell me why is it, that even after I have removed the animation from the subclassed DownloadProgressBar, it still keeps running ? Also, is it standard practice when importing SWCs to manage the cleanup of resources from the Flash side of things (much like releasing memory in obj-c). I find it counter intuitive that removing the child from the Flex side does not stop the animation.
View 1 RepliesI need to dynamically bind properties of components created at runtime. In this particular case please assume I need to use bindProperty. I don't quite understand why the following simplistic test is failing (see code). When I click the button, the label text does not change. I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

I had been wondering how to use shared objects for a long time and thanks a million to this mini-tut:url...I know how. The only thing is it says that to clear a shared object, you must type (used in his example) [code]but what if i wanted to delete a certain block of data on it, for example I have the shared object user.And i don't want to delete all of it, but just one block of data (specifically user.data.doc)[code]

View 1 RepliesI am creating a small game for a project im doing it is only ten levels long but I wish to include feature such as saving etc. I have one some research on Shared Objects and it seems to be the best method. The idea I wish to execute is to have at the end of a level after reaching the levels goal have a piece of code that runs and saves that the next level has been unlocked. This seems relatively simple. However i have done things awkwardly i think, instead of creating the whole game within a single fla. each level is a seperate file, eg. level1.fla, level2.fla etc. Is it possible to use the same shared object across multiple .fla's?
