Java :: Can A Webpage Access Data Being Sent To A Computer Via USB
Jun 6, 2011
What are the options (or is it possible at all) for a web page (running on a remote server, not localhost) to access a data stream (not video) coming in via the USB port of the local computer?
Ideally this would work cross-platform (Windows, Unix, Mac anyway) and the local computer would not have to download/install anything to make it work (beyond what you can reasonably expect a computer to have)
An embedded Java applet seems the only way, but I'm wondering if there's any other technologies that could do it. If the restriction is lifted so that the user can install something (basic for non-techies, not setting up a local server running node.js for example) does that make more things possible (Flash?)

Is it possible to access a movieclip inside an external swf (.fla file), using data from a vector?
The following code works correctly:
this._graphics.message2_mc.textLabel_txt.text = "Test";
Where as when I loop through a vector and try to replace "message2_mc" it cannot find the movie clip:
for(var i:uint = 1; i <= this._playlistState.subMovieVector.length - 1; i++)
{
var movieName:String = this._playlistState.subMovieVector[i].movieName;
this._graphics.movieName.textLabel_txt.text = "Test";
}
Presumably this is because I am putting a string in the middle of the line of code accessing the movie clip?

I would like to know if it's possible to edit a file from within the browser. I know where the file is and I know its format. I would like to some HTML5 and JavaScript but have little luck so don't mind using Flash or Java.
The file I would like to edit is the hosts file. C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts on Windows XP.
This is mostly for test run of a new breed of AdBlocking so would like to give my browser and the best chance of working. I have Google Chrome Dev opened as ROOT, running on Windows XP.

Problem: Conditions:
IE7, SP2, latest flash/java. Only reproducible on one machine. Observations: Smaller than a javascript alert box, and seems to be generated when a swf on my web page loads. The dialog is modal, however, like an alert box.
I've tried matching the configuration of the machine in question, but a recreation of the machine does not get this error. I'm not ultra-familiar with flash/flex, so is there something that flex/flash could do which would cause this error dialog to appear.
How would one even go about debugging this? It's mostly not reproducible aside from a single machine, and the circumstances which cause the error are unknown.

I was hoping to do this from a flash plugin, kind of how flash accesses the microphone or webcam but it doesn't seem possible. Is this going to be possible using Java, or ActiveX, or some other strategy that I haven't looked at yet?The idea is to do it without a client install, or at least something lightweight and browser and platform independent.

Is it possible to take a screen shot (using the Print Screen) and paste it from the System Clipboard directly into a web pages text area field (which I would create)? Do I need a browser plug-in? Can Flash do this?

I have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into server-side stuff?

I'm using LoadVars to retrieve some data from a table using php. When I use the app from within my Flash environment I am able to retrieve the info, but once I post the swf to the website nothing happens. I"m posting to the same remote page. I don't think LoadVars is even firing since the trace in my else clause is not firing.
var reserved = new LoadVars();
reserved.load("

reserved.onLoad = function(success)

I need to know how to save and load a very small amount of variables to a computer running my swf file. It is so that a person can keep their progress in a game if they decide to close the .swf and reload it later.It has nothing to do with a server.

I have went to the player options and put the URL's in there that I am trying to get to with no success.

I have a very stupid question: can android (I use samsung galaxy S2 mobile) can access teh webcam ?In my flash application, I got a flash security alert that allows to autorize or deny the access to webcam.
When I run this flash, it never shows this security alert and then It does not access the webcam. I do tests for instance with the website [URL]: works fine on my PC, works fine on my galaxy s2, but since it never shows me the autorization dialog, I cannot stream my webcam.

I want to be able to access a webpage and retrieve data from it.
Suppose I went to Google and typed in "convert gallon to pint" and hit enter. The conversion is displayed from the google calculator as the first item "1 US gallon = 8 US pints".
How would I do the same thing using Actionscript 3. Like the user clicks a button and it sends what I'm searching for to google, and then retrieves the first item of the search "1 US gallon = 8 US pints".

How can I access the Principal object in a Flex client that was returned by the doAuthenticate() method in the LoginCommand?
Adobe's LCDS Custom Authentication page isn't much help in this matter, as this is the only example they show for a successful login:
// Handle successful login.
private function LoginResultEvent(event:ResultEvent, token:Object=null):void {
switch(event.result) {
[Code].....
I can return a strongly typed object as the Principal from the doAuthenticate() method, but how do I access it in the client's result handler?
Update: I've read the LCDS documentation twice now and there is no mention of accessing the Principal in the client. The only data I can retrieve from a result is the string 'success'. Anyone know if this is this the only result available from a custom authentication?
