Screen Scraping - Using Flash To Get A Verification Code?
Aug 9, 2010
Say I have a flash movie in an HTML page, I want to get the value of a tag in the HTML page (for example, google-site-verification content value). How could this be done?
*UPDATE - I want to embed a flash template into an html web page, in this web page will be a meta tag with a UID. The UID will be referenced in an XML schema, which Flash loads the specifics of the UID to flash file. The web page name can be anything (index.html, index.php, contact.asp, etc).
I want to make a code verification form. Those forms that generate an image which you have to read and type down the code in it. I want to have AS generate a random set of letters and numbers in an unselectable textField. That will be the generated bitmap (not a bitmap actually, but... ). I also want that randomly generated set of letters and numbers to be written down in a variable so that I can compare the variable with the input field of the user to test if it is ok. How to randomly generate that?
I saw this video, and I am really curious how it was performed. My intuition is that he scraped pixels from the screen (one per 'box'), and then fed that into some program to determine the next move.
Is scraping pixel-by-pixel the way to do this, or is there a better way? I am looking to do something similar with either Java or Python.
I'm scraping a website in Flash, writing in Python. I can see in Firebug that the page loads its Flash file and then some background data in an .asmx file. The background data is what I'm interested in - so how can I get hold of the .asmx file? I already know what it's called. I can't get at the .asmx file directly, but can I grab it using Mechanize?
When I run my very simple script Code: var myTextfield:TextField = new TextField ; myTextfield.width = 300; myTextfield.height = 100; addChild(myTextfield); [Code] .....
It does neatly output the desired text to the screen - BUT it also shows part of my code in the movie, in a way that's just not possible. Here's a screenshot, I know it looks like I manipulated it in PhotoShop or something, but I didn't. The text gets vague after a few lines; that's exactly how it looks on my screen. I've run it several times, and it always looks like this.
There are a lot of topics about this, but I've been searching and trying for two straight days now and I can't find an solution. The terminal doesn't give me any error (codesign -vvvv):

I've tried deleting certificates, provisions over and over. I've tried to export only the key, only the certificate and both of them. I extract the .ipa and compress it into an zip. I've tried everything but it doesn't seem to work.
I was editing a very basic mobile Flex project, and after I debugged the master (application) mxml file, Design View stopped working (blank screen displayed, no Design View errors) for all files. Creating new projects, either mobile or else, or testing old, working projects, doesn't work either. Out of the related issues I've found info on, most concern earlier versions of the IDE, and deal with either Design View errors (got none), use of certain functions or custom components (I get the error even on a new project), or are solved by changing styles back-and-forth (tried already, to no avail).
I can't drag and drop components to the design area, either (a "prohibited" symbol appears and nothing happens when I drop); so I'm pretty sure it's not code-related or a bug, but probably something stupid, like a configuration issue, so I definitely need someone to take a fresh look at it.
when it comes to coding and i was trying to set up a screensaver.. i was wondering if someone could point me to some already available AS code on the net.. or maybe if there are some generic codes around ponit me to them.
create an age verification page but I don't really have the AS knowledge to finish it up.
Problems:
I don't know how to link the text to the appropriate website when they are verified. EX: "You may enter" linking to the site. "You are not of age" linking to disney.com or something.
Also, when there are no digits entered, it verifies the user of age.
I'm creating a keypad which uses buttons to enter numbers into an input textfield.I can get the buttons to enter numbers into the field but can't figure out how it knows the code is correct.I've attached the fla to explain what I mean.Code used so far:
I am having trouble accessing this movieclip and adding it to the stage.I have just started using external .as files to code game characters and this is the only part that gets me at the moment.The character works completely fine if they are already on the stage when the frame loads, but I cannot figure out how to access this movieclip and place it on the stage from the MAIN timeline, where I plan on running the main game code.I have tried tons of variations, is there anyone that can please tell me the proper way to do this with this linkage?
Does anyone know how to allow fmscheck with swf verification enabled. I don't want to create an application just for fmscheck as I want to check my application (with swf verification enabled) is still up and working.
I want to implement Adobe Media Gallery (source available on Adobe's website) in a fully-flash website. I think the best way is to keep it as a seperate swf. I can get my parent movie (flash website) to "loadMovie(ADOBEmediaGallery.swf)" just fine, but what I would like to do is incorperate a LOGIN (username/password) into media-gallery.fla BEFORE it loads.
I can make the text boxes/button, etc, but I need a little help with the actionscript/PHP/mySQL. I've found some older tutorials on that, but I don't know how to make the ADOBEmediaGallery.fla WAIT for the Login Verification BEFORE loading...
is it possible to activate SWF verification also without streaming any video or audio? I'm just interested to use FMS to secure my flash application but I don't need to stream any media files.
I'm having a hard time getting my virtual pinpad to output to the input text field. In the zip there's a safe, in order to open the safe you must get the right combo...the issue I'm having is i don't even know where to start with the code. I want to be able to push one of the buttons and have it output to the text field...and if the combo is right which in this case is going to be "23012" i want it to go to and stop at frame 2...and if its wrong i want it to start over.
The green button should be the enter button. and i want the red button to be the clear all button.
I have a flash and php based mail form that needs to have the fields verified. So when a user does not insert info in the text fields, an error clip will play. The form works fine without the verification of fields, but I want to prevent from receiving blank emails. The form is created in 2 parts or tutorials since I'm trying to add field verification or error message. Here are the links of the tutorials. [URL] and the next link is for the field verification. [URL]. I'm using CS3 with AS1 and 2. Here is my original AS without the verification.
Code: Select allstop(); var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); submit2.onRelease = function() senderLoad.name2 = name2.text; [Code].....
I'm building an array of JPEG files from an XML file. I need a way to verify that the file exists on the server as it build the array. If it's not there I want to substitute another file name in it's place: default.jpg. Using loadVars I came up with this code.... which won't work:
[Code]...
I posted this on the FLASH forum but the only answer I got was that it can't be done and I should use a server-side script. Flash should be able to tell if a load failed or not..yes.
If I place an set of FMS servers behind some reverse proxy caches, will I get problem with SWF verification if the cache layer caches the .f4m meta data file with the SWF verification data? Is there any documented best practice on the requirements to build large scale deployment with security enabled?
I'm completely new to programming in PHP. I finally got the Flash/ PHP mailer working as demonstrated on this site ([URL]). Now I'm just trying to figure out how to block out blank forms... and possibly do email verification.
I have a swf file that will execute code when the mouse leaves the swf on screen. Everything works fine on a pc and a mac. But on a pc that has player 10.0.32.18 installed throws the error below. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main_fla::MainTimeline/mouseLeave() This error is thrown out only when I try to call a function inside of loaded swf that is on the stage.
I have found some question which refers to my initial question :on xcode Usually resolved in synthesis by :
flushing certificate cache correcting the signing certificate ( using Distribution in replacement of Developper) C checking and correcting the Application ID who was sometimes not the same between the one declared in iTunes Connect and the one in the app.xml file
The fact is that I still has the problem on Flex Builder, which is when I upload my application, it failed with "Application failed codesign verification"
[Code]...
So the question is what could still block the uploading of the application on the App Store?
How to resolve "Application failed codesign verification." when uploading Application, build with Flash Builder 4.6?
I have an AIR application that will go full screen when the application starts: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; The stage size is 2560 x 1024. And I have 2 moniters (1280 x 1024 , 1280 x 1024) When I start the application, it shows my application on one of my moniter only.
I need the left side of the stage to be shown in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to be shown in moniter 2. Currently, both sides are shown in moniter 1, and in moniter 2, it shows nothing but my default desktop. *The blue color line is a divider for better visual purpose. How do I make the left side of the stage to appear in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to appear in moniter 2 when the application starts in full screen mode?
Is a command for AS2 to make my movie file play fullscreen (stretch, fit to screen, anything).
goFullScreen(); is great but it leaves white bars left and right. What's odd is that I'm using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and it seems to display a perfect widescreen that I want as an input and output but once compiled in flash, it's more square leaving me with white bars left and right. The frame for the video in flash is also widescreen looking.
edit: I ended up stretching the width of the frame but if there is a better way through a command that would make my life easier so I don't have to adjust to every monitor that I run this on.
My question is what needs to be done in order to make a .swf file go into full screen without falling to a black screen when a movie is played? I have tried coding it, however I come up with the following error.
[Code]....
What should I do to fix this? This is not going to be an HTML file, however, so the initial thought of changing the publish settings does not seem to work this time.
I'm creating a flash site. I want the flash movie to fill the entire browser window. What size should I make the canvas, I've been experimenting with sizes and a canvas size of 750*370 fills my browser well on a resolution of 800*600
How do you accomodate different resolution settings? What's the most commonly used canvas size for this type of project.
As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);
I'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.
Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?
