I've worked with AMFPHP for a while, but with Adobe supporting ZendAMF, I was wondering if I should migrate.
One of the major disadvantages for AMFPHP is that class mappings need to be public, so not only does that mean public members on the PHP side, but also on the Flex side. I was wondering if it is the same case for ZendAMF.
Can ASDoc be set to document private members ala JavaDoc?
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a framework for my coworkers and I'm having trouble documenting it.ASDocs as omitting the private members (even without @private directive).
View 1 RepliesI have a class which deals with a lot of visuals, which essentially are movieclips. So I have around 50 privately declared movieclips in the class. Would it be a good idea to put them in a dictionary and retrieve them by their name (as key) , put them in an array or just leave them as they are?
My issue is the visual look of my class right now with that many private members, looks like a mess visually.
1.Is there any way to access the private data members of a class in action script using asmock framework? I tried using syntax likeContentPlayermockContentPlayer;Where in getContentPlayer is a private member and mockContentPlayer is alias am creating, but its not working well, I doubt whether I can do like this?
View 2 RepliesAre static members slower to access than instance members in AS3?
View 1 Replieshere is a snippet of my code in an as file
ActionScript Code:
class PoolBall extends MovieClip {
private var poolBall:MovieClip;
[code].....
there are classes definitions where all their methods are private my question is why are they private, because i've tried a code wherein i changed all the private access modifier to public and nothing changed!
what if you make an instance of that class with all its method private, how are you be able to access that on another class. coz i know private methods are only accessible to the class where they are declared! will the instance of that class be able to access the superclass's private methods!
on private variables, it's still not clear to me as to why make a private variable and then use a getter and setter, when you can simply make it public! are these variables called static?cause on the way i understand it private functions and private variables are static?
Okay so you've got your private vars in your AS2 Class, you think they're all safe right? Wrong.
Doing a trace(MyClass.myvar); will spit out an error that the var is private and you can't touch it.
But a trace(MyClass["myvar"]); will work perfectly fine. You can use it normal, without any setters getters outside the class.
Is there a way to protect against this? I think this is a huge security flaw. I know it's simple OOP, but a private var in an object should have rules.
is there a difference between classifying a function 'private' or 'private static' in a singleton? It seems that they both do the same thing. Maybe some difference in performance?

I have an ActionScript 3 application that's sending an object to PHP via ZendAMF. The object contains a byteArray from an image.
I have it currently saving the byteArray into a Blob like so:
[code]...
This seems to be working fine and I can see the image in the DB (this is running local and I'm using SequelPRO to view the DB).
The problem is when I'm sending the byteArray back to Flash, Flash reports the byteArray length as 0.
I am using ZendAMP php and Flex (Flash Builder 4). It works great, but I noticed when I am looking at the traffic going between my flex application and ZendAMF, there packets moving even though I am not requesting communications in my code.For example, this is what my service looks like in flex:
var activityLogService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject("zend");
activityLogService.showBusyCursor=true;
activityLogService.endpoint="http://myserver:80/amf/";[code].........
Are these just some kind of 'keep alive' messages?If so, is there a way to turn them off? Also, if so, is there a way I can use them to keep some kind of session alive on the server side maybe (maybe that's what they are for)?
Whats the scoop?I watched Lee's tutorial on Zend and also the older ones for AMFPHP.Is one 'better' than the other? Doubt that since as I understand both are written by the same author, only Adobe 'officially' supports Zend.
My application is composed of 3 parts
1-an image editing tool allowing users to upload images, edit them, then post them to a server.
2-a publicly viewable gallery
3-a private 'admin' tool allowing the user to change their login settings and delete any uploaded images.
Are both Zend and AMFPHP equally robust and easy to implement when it comes to session registration and login?
I am using ZendAmf with an example Tutorials of Lee and files downloaded from this forum.
This is the client actionscript code :
Code: Select allvar nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("http://localhost/myfiles/zendTest.php");
var res:Responder = new Responder(onResult,onError);
[code]...
ive tested my files countless times using WAMP but when i put them on my webserver i cannot get anything to happen when i call the swf
[Code]...
when i goto index.php i see "Zend Amf Endpoint", and as i already said when i use a backup copy of my_db using WAMP i receive the information
I've tried to implement the Introduction to ZendAMF without success
I'm getting this error on publishing the flash file:
Code: Select allError opening URL 'http://localhost/folder/'
Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed
- I'm in localhost on Windows with Xampp.
- If I open in the browser the url of nc.connect() it returns "Zend Amf Endpoint".
- If I print the return of the Tutorials.getTutorials() from another script the returned array contains the correct data.
I am trying to use ZendAMF to do remote method calls to a MySQL database from Flash and I keep recieving the NetConnection.Call.BadVersion error.
My Server is working correctly. Apache 2.2.14
My PHP is working correctly. PHP 5.2.11
My Database is working. MySQL 5.0
My first problem was a security error in Flash. If you try to run a local SWF from the Flash IDE to a web service online, you'll get a security warning which will throw the BadVersion error. However, the security error won't show up if you 'TEST MOVIE' so it took me a while to realize that. I changed my testing process to remove this variable. I am now able to implement my php class code successfully using AMFPHP, which essentially rules out my class as the issue (I think). It seems to be a problem with the Zend implemntation of AMF.
I have followed a tutorial from Lee Brimlow here: [URL]. I was unable to get this to work locally, and I've moved my content onto a web server and can call the Class and Method from my SWF. I've used Charles to view the response. When I go to validate the response in Charles I get this:
Validator: Failed to Parse XML Document.
Reason: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the CDATA section.
Line: 65 Column: 87
Can it be handled in PHP?
Here is my ZendAMF code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
ini_set("display_errors", "on");
ini_set("include_path", "./frameworks");
require_once 'Zend/Amf/Server.php';
require_once 'Animal.php';

I've written an application that deals with multiple languages, English, French, etc, I'm using Zendamf to retrieve multi-language data from a database, however, I'm running into a problem using Zendamf, and it could kill this project fast:
There seems to be an issue passing special character values via Zendamf. While querying a database that returns data including French-text characters (ie: Québec), the result returned from Zendamf is not handling the special characters (ie: instead of Québec, we receive Qu�c).
I've checked the output of the data via Php: the issue is not with the database result - the characters are returned correctly from the database to the Php result-set - I am able to print these characters correctly before they are sent through Zendamf, either by rendering them in HTML or by writing them to a log file.
However, once I plug the SQL result into an object and pass it to Zendamf, the special characters get mangled. Using Charles Web Debugging Proxy, I can see that the result values are mangled before they are passed back to my AS3 application.
I have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
View 1 RepliesI have a class ABC:
class ABC
{
var l:Label=new Label();
var m:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
}
Given an instance of class ABC, e.g. obj:
var obj:ABC=new ABC();
I need to access both obj.m and obj.l. Say m has an eventlistener fl_listen which gets triggered on a mouse click:
function fl_listen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var k=event.target;
}
Within this handler, I can access the MovieClip of ABC class. However, my requirement demands to access the object of Label in the ABC class too.
I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?
View 3 RepliesI'm working in CS4. I am trying to add 20 squares to the stage. Each square must have a different number in the middle(1, 2, 3, etc.).
This is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
Ideally, I would like the squares to be added automatically, with increasing numbers and 100 x 100 pixels apart. Possibly a 'for-loop' statement?
I have a class, ClassA which is a MovieClip. Inside of that I have about 20 other MovieClips that are associated with ClassB.
In my main timeline I have something like this, instantiating ClassA and then calling a setup function in it.[code]...
shakedown:
1) made local.swf
2) made remote.swf which contains MyClass
3) local.swf loads in remote.swf from [URL]
how can I access MyClass.staticMember() using local.swf ? is there someway to register MyClass under local.swf after remote.swf is loaded in?
i think i'm looking for something similar to registerClass(remoteSwf.myClassObject.constructor) ;

In Flash Player runtime, is there a way I can get a list of all the static members of lass PlayerEvent.
Something like:
trace(PlayerEvent.staticMethods) // ["PLAYER_INIT", "PLAYER_MOVE", "PLAYER_USE_SKILL"]...
Is there a way to "reflect on" static members of an ActionScript object (get all the static properties/methods of that type programmatically)?
Why is that flash.utils.describeType(*) can only show non-static members?
like at the object, i have a class like that:
class myClass
{
var sound:Sound;
var num:Number;
public function MyClass()

So i have a movieclip with a textfield in it. Also there is a class for this Movieclip. This all is exported to a swc that is linked into other projects for reuse purposes. However I cant access the textfield from classes in other projects. I get the 1009 error. Even when accessing ti from the Added to stage event.
