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:

I 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?
I'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:
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)?
I want to upload a file(photo) from Flex to Rails and then send a response back to the server in XML (contains photo URL and ID). I'm sending from my Rails server some XML as follows:[code]it doesn't seem to parse XML properly. I have used similar code before with URLLoader and it worked.
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?
I am building a Rails app that would nicely communicate with Flex via sockets. Currently I found only two ways of communication: Simple HttpRequest, RemoteObject. But I need something "multiplayer" style. 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".
I 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.
I mean, the mvc for cairngorm and the one in rails don't overlap their functionalities? I'm not sure I understand the need for cairngorm with the rails backend..
I'm starting to learn in flex and ruby on rails. I see some projects there is a flex folder under rails_project/app which contains controller, models, views. I think it's not mannually to add these folders to rails project.
In 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.
I have a swf file, which handels some xml data. After that process complets I am giving the data back to my rails server. My problem is, that any redirection in my rails app is handed ower to the swf file and the actual displayed page remains the same!
How can I perform a redirection in my webpage from a swf flash file.

Is there any way to usefully test an Uploadify file upload with Selenium? I'm using Capybara with Rails, but really, any solution with Selenium would be a starting place. I'm worried I may have to disable Uploadify for Selenium testing.
I'm trying to implement a Dashboard using Abobe Flex which is fed from a Ruby on Rails application. The Dashboard will just display charts and tables which can be fed by JSON, XML etc. feeds.A User will need to login into the Flex frontend before they can view the Dashboard, so I have two main requirements for this to work:
1. A User can login via the Flex frontend, however Flex uses my Ruby on Rails application to perform the authentication
2. Gather data from feeds being provided by Ruby on Rails web application based on the User (id)Is this setup possible with Flex and Ruby on Rails?
