I have a flex app that uses AMF to talk to a Spring Java backend. How do I get the values of cookies that have been set by the server and are being sent back by AMF?

($_SESSION['member'])
(I am using Flash 8 and ActionScript 2.0)
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 am using external interface to store cookies in client side of application. Like I have created a cookie in html and i am using those methods in flex using External Interface. I am saving a username in cookie when I re use cookie is displaying, I have deployed in server and i ran like http://localhost/[Path]/index.html.in this html I am embedded swf file and I have saved cookie in html JavaScript, now if I open this url cookie is saving if I open a new window what ever the cookies are a raised and it is loading from start. for cookies saving i am using this code in flex:`package Name{

The question says it. Does anybody know the answer to this? We're running into problems when 3rd-party cookies are disabled.

View 3 RepliesI'm using Flex 4(beta2) with Ruby on Rails 2.3.5 and using RubyAMF to transfer data back and forth between Flex and server. set up Authlogic on the Rails side for authentication. wasn't sure what's the best method to handle user sessions. I know this is done automatically with Rails by sending session id with cookie which Rails use to authenticate the user.What do you suggest the best way to do this with Flex?I thought of couple of options:1. Manually fetching the cookie from the browser and then figuring our a way to send that to the server with every request I send. 2. Handling sessions expiration and flow on Flex side by manually expiring the session
View 4 RepliesWe'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.

View 1 RepliesI've got a flex app which I'm porting to air, the two apps are identical except for the root tag being WindowedApplication rather than Application.The problem is that cookie/session based logins are working for the flex app in the browser but not for the air app. Reading the docs says that cookies are available for air and the URLRequest manageCookies is true by default.I've investigated further and it turns out cookies are working in Air and are used for all subsequent requests after the login, but the cookie does not survive a shutdown of the application and the user is required to login again when they restart.
View 2 RepliesAs the title indicates the question is in regards to the service layer of a flex application. Specifically in a test case class. To call the services the user must first authenticate through an html/CF based page. Once that's done and the authentication has occurred the user is directed to the html page with the flex application embedded in. Once authenticated the server side CF code writes a cookie to the users computer. This cookie is then read by the flex app and is required for the flex app to make calls to the CF services.
The question is: how should this be handled in a test case class for the service class in the flex app? The following steps need to basically take place: use some account data to hit the server and authenticate, the cookie then needs to be written (which it will already), then the test case needs to pick up the session id from the cookie and pass it to the service call within the test case. That just all seems like too much for a test case class.
So, how is this type of thing usually handled. From what I gather it's typical for web service calls to require a session id like this.
Inside a flex app, I have a user login. The login calls a ColdFusion function as a remote object which authenticates the user and, if applicable, returns their id and access level. This works fine, but now I'm at the point where I want to also create a cookie for another ColdFusion template (called from fileReference.upload()) to be able to access later. I have tried several different methods for creating the cookie -- cfcookie, creating a cookie with JavaScript inside the ColdFusion function, and creating the cookie with JavaScript with an external interface once the coldfusion function returns to the flex result handler. All of these have been tried with a plethora of options regarding expiration, path, and domain tags.

I have a set of RESTful web services. These services are protected on a Glassfish server by OpenSSO. When I attempt to call the RESTful services directly from a browser, OpenSSO intercepts the request, then forwards the request to the REST service once the user's credentials are authenticated. OpenSSO utilizes a session cookie on subsequent requests (until the session is invalidated) . I'm sure this piece is working correctly.We'd like to call these services from a Flex client. In order to enable PUT and DELETE operations, we set up BlazeDS to proxy the RESTful requests from the flex client to the REST service. When security to the RESTful services is disabled, this piece works great.
Now we're trying to secure the entire application. We've placed the Flex SWF into a war and deploy to Glassfish. We've placed security around this resource and when a user attempts to download the SWF (through an HTML link in the war), OpenSSO intercepts the request, then forwards to the application on successful authorization (just like it does for the RESTful web services).The problem is - the RESTful calls made by the Flex application (via BlazeDS) are failing. OpenSSO seems to be intercepting these requests as well and again asking for the users credentials. It doesn't seem the authentication cookies are being passed to (or maybe by) the BlazeDS proxy.
Does an AIR app built with Flex have something similar to a browser cookie? I want the app to remember a simple value, like date when the app was last opened. I'd rather not create a SQlite database just for this.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use e4x to retrieve xml from the result event thrown when my Flex webservice is successful.
This is a snippet of the returned xml
<p430:getRoomsResponse xmlns:p430="http://impl.service.com">

The full xml contains approx 40 of these "ROOM" types containing roomname,size etc.
I want to create a collection containing a list of the 40 room objects based on the xml above.
How can I map the objects from my xml to an object using e4x?

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 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?

I'm developing a very simple flex application on Windows 7 64 Bits.It retrieves the user url and then show it:
public var bm:IBrowserManager;
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
bm= BrowserManager.getInstance();
bm.init();
Alert.show("Your URL is : " + bm.url);
}
On my Windows 64 Bits machine (Chrome, FF), it works fine and returns the URL.But, when I run my project on a Mac OS X machine (Safari, Chrome, FF) : it shows:
Alert.show(Your URL is : Null);
I think that it cannot retrieve the browser instance or cannot init the browser manager.
How to retrieve fms bandwidth into flex?
View 2 RepliesI know that it is possible to add swf metadata to the compile command as a command option, but I can't find any documentation on how to access these metadata within the actionscript during runtime. We're trying to add a version number to the swf during compile time and then somewhere in our app we would retrieve it during runtime, here is the command example to add the description metadata.
mxmlc -description "version 1.2.3"
I know the swf metadata is used by search engines and other utilities to gather information about the SWF file, but surely you should be able to retrieve them in the actionscript during runtime?
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?
Is there any way to get the sum of items based on some filters from sharepoint list? I was trying to access the GetListItems method. But this returns all the items in the list. That makes the data heavy. My requirement is to get only the sum of items. For example items created in a specific year.I am trying to populate a chart in flex from the sharepoint list. Accessing all the items and then calculating the sum in flex will not work always where the list contains more items.
