Flex :: Security - When Deploying Flash UI Test Automation Hooks To Production?
Jan 16, 2011
I am interested in doing automated testing against a Flex based UI.I have found out that my best options for UI automation (due to being C# controllable, good licensing conditions, etc)all seem to require that I compile test hooks into my application.Because of this, I am thinking of recommending that these hooks be compiled into our build.
Warning! Automation enabled applications expose all properties of all GUI components. This makes them vulnerable to malicious use.Never make automation enabled application publicly available. Always restrict access to such applications and to RIATest Loader to trusted users only.

I am facing a really weird issue while trying to use an "swc" file imported from Flash CS5, that I am trying to use in Flex Builder 3 (by converting symbol to "Flex Component"). The errors are coming in files which are not even remotely related to the "swc" file that i am importing. Now, I know that the automation stuff has come as a part of FB4, but I don't really have an option to migrate to FB4.I have tried to change the flex sdk settings in Flash CS5 (steps given below), but that has not helped.Edit-->Preferences-->Actionscript-->"Actionscript 3.0 Settings"-->"Flex SDK Path" (pointing this to flex3.5 sdk instead of Flex4.0 sdk)I feel that the issue is most probably a compatibility issue b/w Flex 3 and Flex 4, but have not been able to find a workaround for the same.[code]

We have a flex based UI whose functionality (eg: login, logout) needs to be tested periodically in IE 7. Manual testing takes a lot of time and hence we want to automate it EDIT: We dont have the source code of this app uder test so cannot use something like FlexUnit. Is there a way to automate this testing?
I have heard of FleXmonkey, but have read negative reviews of it and hence wary of trying it.

I'm trying to create a Flex application that automates a web browser to perform certain tasks. I would use the application to login to a site, parse data out of the HTML, and send it to a jsp page for processing. I currently have an application written in WPF that does that exact thing, but it needs to be ported to flex.

Does Away3D 4x require Flash player 11 or will it run in previous flash players - e.g. 10, 9 without the GPU availability through Stage3D?
If not, are there any libraries that can?

I have a Flex application which has to be deployed in some server. The typical form of access would be invoking the URL. Should I have multiple instances of the applications running on the same server/ deploying the application in diff servers and using a load balancer for routing? If i must have multiple instances, how to do that? On a given day, the application is expected to get around 2000-3000 hits. What are all the factors to be kept in mind while deployment?

Is there any way to automatically deploy to a server after I build a flex app, and then debug using the remote url ?
This is totally possible in FlashBuilder, but I am highly hoping that it can be done in FD as well.

I have two applications: a client in flex and a server in Java. When I deploying the application inside flex builder with the tomcat server inside as well, everything works fine. But now I'm trying to deploy in apache tomcat outside the flex/eclipse builder and I have a problem.I think the problem is with relative/absolute paths but I do not know how to resolve it.In my Java application I have to access a database and a get a file from it. I use a properties to set a path where I want to download that files like this:pacs.ruta=C:\resources\And then I need to access to that file so in use this code:fin = new FileInputStream(pacsRuta+""+f.getName());where f.getName() gives me the name of the file so I get the path of the file with the path I set in pacs.ruta and the files name.
I do not know why it does not work. I tried to put pacs.ruta=/resources/to associate with a folder in my application but It does not work.Could someone give me an advice? Do you think it is the problem? Because the whole application works fine deploying in a tomcat server outside the flex/eclipse builder but when this code is called the application does not work.

I am using Flash builder 4 (SDK3.5) to create my flex program.I want to deploy this program and load it to a tomcat server.I configure my "flex server" root folder and other parameters in the project properties.The problem is, that i don't know how to make it generic. e.g. my friend's tomcat is installed in other directory on the computer. I know that in eclipse i can run the server and tomcat from the IDE. I can't see how i do it in Flash builder plugin for eclipse 4.

I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.

I've just finished putting together a basic flash video chat client that publishes the camera to a stream and receives a similar stream from another client.The streams are being pub/sub'd to the "oflaDemo" that ships with Red5.This seems to work fine for my prototype, but I'm concerned about having to use something with "demo" in the name if I were to roll this chat application into production. It seems that the alternative is to essentially re-write that demo, perhaps with a few more features, which doesn't seem right in order to take advantage of one of Red5's core functionalities.
So, my question is: what is standard/best practice for production live streams in Red5? Is the oflaDemo used? Do custom stream brokers have to be written? If I don't host it myself, do most hosts have their own (production-quality) version of oflaDemo?

I've come up with a flash game and wish to deploy it on facebook. Problem is, I am not sure where to start!
I've done some research and found out something about needing an external server to host my flash application but I'm still pretty much lost.
So can anyone tell me what are the basic steps to deploying my flash application to facebook?

I've just stumbled upon a case when Flash app freezes in production Flash Player and works smoothly in a debug version. It doesn't throw any errors or exceptions. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Why is it happening or how one is supposed to debug in such case?And a side question - what exactly is different in debug version from internal point of view? Any good writeup on the topic?
UPDATE:I didn't mention, but the trouble is with Flash Player 11, it probably matters, cause Flash Player 10 doesn't have any problems with the same code.

I'm having trouble with an AS3 AMF RemoteObject request that is hosted on App Engine. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root of the domain, and also one at the remoting endpoint.Here are the contents of the root crossdomain.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies ="all"/>[code].....
Loading the swf file and testing it on my machine works just fine... I think that may have something to do with me having the debugger version of Flash Player. When I push it up to App Engine to make it public, other clients access it and get a Client.Error.MessageSend Channel.Security.Error error Error #2048 url: http:[url].......I am using Flex 4 beta, and the App Engine Python runtime. I have tried full wildcard in the crossdomain, and even accessing the data endpoint at a relative URL so as to avoid this error.

In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?

We are looking to use flash to create iOS apps, so we have downloaded the latest version of flash, but when testing on the iPad we see pixalation, is there a later version of cs5.5 or an update that will fix this issue?
Or is there a setting beside the setting Resolution set to High...
I did read somewhere about AIR3 is going to better renderring for 3D, but will it be for the iPad and also what about 2D rendering, I mean it is vectors aand I thought they did not pixelate.

how to best handle the issue of not having enough permission inside of a Google Chrome Extension. I am interacting with the YouTube API, but I am not using swfobject.js, just using am embdeeded div. I do not believe this is introducing my security issue, but perhaps it is. In development, I had to navigate to Adobe's flash player security page and designate my development folder as a 'safe' location. In deployment, I do not have the ability to do this. I do not want my users to have to click 'Allow All' on flash player security, but I do not see another way to achieve my results.Seems to be a duplicate of SWFobject in a Chrome Extension - API Unavaiable but remains unanswered.Source: https:[url].....
To run: Pull from the repo, load up Chrome, click the wrench, go to extension, check 'Developer Tools' -> Load Unpacked Extension and browse to the folder.

does anybody know if disabling the security question in the flash player is ok? I need to know the exact facts by reference whether it is ok or not. I found some answers to this but they were assumptions but nor rigid. for instance a reference to Adobe's documentation that says any workaround is illegal.

I am trying to use a browser to debug my flash app as it needs External Interface. But whenever I try to attach the Flex Debugger to the browser running Flash app, it shows
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
I already checked the other question with same title as my error but changing code is not the solution here as it is an existing code and I don't get this error while using a debug version or when I am not running connected to a debugger.
