How can we include (nicely) a swf file in a Rails application?By the way, I tried the swf_fu plugin but it didn't work. When I call my swf file located in the swfs directory, it tells me that the method is not found:

Having problems embedding my .swf file in rails 3.1. In past versions of rails I'd use swfobject and simply do:
<div id="swfbox">you don't have flash</div>
<script type ="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("swf/AudioRecorder.swf", "swfbox", "400", "400", "10.0.0", "");

I have a webpage based on ruby on rails. For one task I need some more complex user interface which I plan to do with a flex programm. The question is, how I can start the a new window with my flex programm and hand over the right url where the flex app can load its data in XML format...
View 1 RepliesI am trying to embed a flash file onto the homepage of my Ruby application. The homepage is in /app/view/home, and the flash file is in the projects /public/flash/myflash.swf.When I load the home page, I don't see anything, although the text is bumped below a square of the proper size I defined the file as.The code I am using to try and load the file is
<div id="flashContent">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="346" height="383" id="Blox" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="/flash/Blox.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
[code]....
I am thinking that either I am calling the file wrong by using value=/flash/Blox.swf, or that I am storing my flash file in the wrong place period. How can I get my flash file to load?

How do I control what parameters are passed in a RemoteObject method? I noticed that when I directly download and run the code from this site, saving an object results in the following parameter set being passed back:

After the video file is saved on the flex server, I need to create a record on the database calling the create action on my rails app from Flex. How can I achieve this?

View 1 RepliesI want to implement an application in Flex/Rails in Background as I know these two languages but I'm fairly beginner with Flex and Intermediate-to-expert with Rails. My application will display a calendar like object by which there are say 5-day week or 7-day week or a month (30-days) and in each day there will be some data such as appointments or such. I want users to be able to drag left or right to get more days after or before the displayed week for example and I want the boxes to be filled with proper appointments data.
What is the best way to implmenet this in your opinion, mainly from Flex point of view? Any architectural tips from the Rails side?

View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a way to upload images that were created in my flex app to rails. I've tried to use paperclip, but it don't seem to work. I've got this tutorial here: [URL] The problem is, that they are using a FileReference to browse for files on the clients computer. They call the .upload(...) function and send the data to the upload controller. But I'm using a URLLoader to upload a image, that is modified in my Flex-App. First, here is the code from the tutorial:

I am a rails noob. I am having a problem conceptualizing how assets work in an authenticated system. All of the tutorials I've seen so far talk about putting your swfs in the public folder and embedding them in your view. However, the swf I'm using is a flex gui that should only be used by users logged-in through restful-authentication. I imagine that putting the gui into the public folder would be defeating the whole purpose of having an authentication system. So what is everybody doing to restrict access to this kind static content?
View 1 RepliesI am in the process of building a rails/flex application which requires audio to be recorded and then stored in our amazon s3 account. I have found no alternative to using some form of RTMP server for recording audio through flash, but our hosting environment will not allow us to install anything like FMS, Red5, etc.
Is there any existing Ruby/Rails RTMP solution that will allow audio recording? If not, is it possible for Rails to at least intercept the RTMP stream and then I can hope to reference red5's source or something for parsing the data (long shot, I know)?The other alternative I can think of is hosting a red5 server on another host and communicating with our rails app once the saving/uploading is done, which is not preferred.
We have a Rails 3 app using session-based authentication (modified acts_as_authenticated), and a Flex app that needs to be embedded in an html.erb template. The Flex app needs to access routes that have a before_filter set to check if the user is logged in. When interacting with the HTML site, this causes the user to be redirected to a login page, then sets a Rails session property (tied to a cookie) to record that the user is logged in when making future requests.The Flex app needs to access XML that's generated by Rails (behind the before_filter) and I don't want to force the user to log in twice -- what should I be passing as a flash parameter to the Flex app so that it can present as "already logged in" if that session exists (ie, the user has logged in via the HTML interface)?

View 2 RepliesIn my rails controller, I have a show and save action. The show is for showing the flash application. The save is for saving the flash application. When the flash application calls the rails save action I would like it to redirect to a new view in the rails app and no longer be inside the flash application.I have a redirect_to some_path in the save action. The server log shows a successful redirect to some_path, however, for the user there is no redirect and they are still stuck inside the flash application.
View 1 RepliesI am building a Rails app that would nicely communicate with Flex via sockets. Currently I found only two ways of communication: Simple HttpRequest, RemoteObject.

I need Flex to talk to sockets and Rails app to grab data from those sockets do some job and push something back to a socket so Flex could read it "on the fly".

View 2 RepliesI'm running a rails3 project with an external asset host for all javascript, images, swfs etc. This is on a completely different domain. So know I tried to embed some SWFs using swfobject. In development (same host) everything works fine, but in production (different hosts) it doesn't start the flash (firebug shows the file is loaded but nothing appears on the page). I already put this crossdomain.xml file in the root of the asset host but it does not change anything at all.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />

What can I do to make it work? The SWFs I'm using are not developed by me, so I cannot change them. Some are simple sounds, others are videos and small "apps". I don't want to have to make rails serve the swfs.
We have created on-line game that uses Ruby on rails for the server part. SWF client works well under browsers on Win&MAC. Windows stand-along client also works well but the MAC client runs down just after start. Analysis of the LOG file on the server shows a problem with a cookie for the session id. The server is not able to create the cookie on MAC to store session id.
