Security - Using A Form In An Expandable Flash Banner?

May 14, 2011

Later this year I will be producing a few expandable banners for a company. The banner is used to attract people and have them suggest candidates for a competition.I suggested the option of possibly integrating an application form in the expandable banner, which after submission should land the user on the landing page of the site.

But after I suggested this, I started thinking:I can't recall having seen a form in an expandable banner for a long time. Because of this, I assume the use of forms in banners might be considered a big no-no. If this assumption is correct: I am trying to figure out why this is. I understand this will be partially off-topic, since the rationale might be in the realm of marketing, rather than programming.

Programmatically:Are there typical security or other concerns that keep professionals from using forms in banners? I'm thinking maybe csfr attacks, etc. here.Usability:Is using a form in an expandable banner a typical no-no from a usability perspective? I'm thinking maybe banners accidentally closing when filling out the form, or too little space to inform the user of the purpose of the form perhaps?

Maybe it's a combination any of these categories? Or maybe none at all. I'm kind of trying to figure out whether my assumptions are correct, and why. Hopefully someone can shed a light on this matter from the perspective of any of the three categories.

I need to create an expandable flash banner. I have tried using the DartMotif Tutorial and installed the plugin etc. However when i get so far it doesn't work. I've done the tutorial about 3 times now and still get stuck on the same part.

I was wondering if there is another way of creating expandable flash banners? Or, if anyone has a different tutorial. The tutorial i'm using was downloaded from [URL] called Motif Expanding Ad Tutorial.doc.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Expandable Banner With Video By Controls Not Working

Mar 15, 2012

I'm trying create an expandable banner that when expands plays a video that has play, pause, mute buttons and a seek bar.
 
I've successfully created the video player and converted it to a symbol and it works when I copy it into other flash files so I know it's the banner that troublesome.
 
The problem is when I use it in the expanded part of the expandable banner I can't click on any of the buttons. I can see it's working as the video is playing and the seeker bar is moving. It's almost as if there's an invisible button over the top (the hand icon is visible) stopping me from hitting the buttons of the player.
 
The code for the expanding banner is very simple (see below)
 
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

Implement Expandable / Floating Banner Just By Giving SWF File?

Oct 1, 2007

I'm interested in learning more about Rich Media banners (floating, expandable, banners with video, and so on...).I've researched everywhere, and wondered if anyone knows how to pull this stuff off without using things like eyeblaster and dart motif. I know every site kind of has their own requirements, but where do you start?

1. I know I could design and create something that would function using transparency, but what about when you hand the banners off to the website you're advertising on? Do they just know how to implement an expandable or floating banner just by giving them an SWF file?

2. What about video? Most sites have like 20-30k file size limits. Do you have to host the videos on a different server and just pull the video in separately?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Login Form - Size And Security?

May 3, 2011

I've got 2 questions,
1) I'm trying to create a Flash Login Form but I guess its working with ASP or PHP. Can I make Flash to check usernames from any local mdb? As long as project doesn't require internet connection, excel or sqlite will be enough for me.
2) This question is related to first question. If I cant use a mdb file it seems I'll need to embed all those 5.000 users in flash project, am I correct? Also projects SWF file is 50mb. It will work from CD source, I've made it all in one SWF file for security.

IDE :: Expandable Flash Content?

Mar 8, 2009

I'd like to create a expandable flash file that lays over html content. Here's what I am trying to figure out how to do. I have a client that I made a flash banner for that has flash map that you can interact with which I loaded in as an external flash file. The client would like the map bigger for better viewing, but currently only the US map and not the whole world, so what I would like to do is make a button that expands just the US map with locations and add some rollover interactivity, but it would have to lay over the html content. So currently my flash file is 682 by 201 placed in div on html page, I'd like to expand out of that box to larger map system.

I've seen this expandable box thing in Flash Ads, but not just for regular content. Here's a really good example of flash expandable which would similar to what I would like to do just using on onclick so it stays and onclick to close. I've seen a lot of google ads do this to lately. I'm using the CS4 products. I've tryed making my original document the full size for instance, 682 by 501 and loaded that into my div, but when played, the flash is resized to fit in my div space of 682 by 201 and there is no expansion over html content at all.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sandbox Security - Restricted By Security In The Game Swf?

Apr 17, 2009

I haven't fully grasped how the flash security model works, and now I've ran into a problem. I have a base SWF that loads a game loader swf, which in turn loads the actual game.What I'm trying to do is taking a current bitmap snapshot of the running game. This works fine before the loader swf has loaded the game. When the game is loaded, I get a security violation because the game has images pulled from facebook. Is this something that can be solved on my end, or restricted by security in the game swf?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Form Inputs - Form Doesn't Function?

Feb 17, 2010

I have a super involved and somewhat silly site I've been working on for a long time piecing together fragments of AS2 code and modifying them to the best of my limited ability.The site is here:http:[url]....I am finally adding the last steps, a series of contact forms with a PHP script in the back end. Anyway, I implemented a form script and have it triggered by clicking the "CONTACT" button you can see on the lower bar. So, click contact and once the form opens (an external SWF loaded into an MC), type away and everything works fine unless you use the letter "f" in either upper or lowercase. It causes the screen to flash and for the form input to lose focus.It works (in that you can enter everything normally -- the form doesn't function, but that's just the PHP which I have yet to edit.)

Actionscript 3 :: Security Sandbox With Flex And AppEngine - Getting Client.Error.MessageSend Channel.Security.Error?

Dec 20, 2009

I'm having trouble with an AS3 AMF RemoteObject request that is hosted on App Engine. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root of the domain, and also one at the remoting endpoint.Here are the contents of the root crossdomain.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies ="all"/>[code].....

Loading the swf file and testing it on my machine works just fine... I think that may have something to do with me having the debugger version of Flash Player. When I push it up to App Engine to make it public, other clients access it and get a Client.Error.MessageSend Channel.Security.Error error Error #2048 url: http:[url].......I am using Flex 4 beta, and the App Engine Python runtime. I have tried full wildcard in the crossdomain, and even accessing the data endpoint at a relative URL so as to avoid this error.
