Re: [Flashcoders] cms solution for flash sites?

2009-06-30 Thread Glen Pike

Hi,

   Here is one possible place to start - many of the systems use AMFPHP 
for sending data backwards and forwards


   http://www.amfphp.org/frameworks.html

   Drupal does have XMLRPC webservices along with Wordpress (Wordpress' 
lets you do some blogging with this, but it is minimal) - I will have a 
look for my links when I get home.  Don't know about Joomla, but search 
for AMFPHP with Joomla, problem is if you use XML+Joomla you are likely 
to get back loads of tables because it's a bit behind the times :)

update/edit xml content

I have not used it apart from the demo, so I only have a 1000 yard view, but
from the doc's / demo it looks very straightforward to use and setup.

If you like getting your hands dirty  rolling your own stuff, maybe look at
something like Drupal + AMPHP / WebServices modules or a similar system.
 Personally I hate Joomla for it's crappy menu management (although that was
2 years ago), I like Drupal for it's flexibility, but it can be a pain to
configure.  I have found that Wordpress provides one of the easisest to use
CMS systems out of the box, (although it is bloating now somewhat), but
not much cop as an image library system.

There are tons of open source cms systems out there that you can plug
flash into.  Drupal supports a nice way of connecting from Flash sites
into
the CMS, but for some jobs this is a sledghammer vs nut problem.  The
system
above is designed to work with Flash, does not seem to have much setting
up

with (possibly :) )

hey all,

Best meaning simple + free.
Basically something enabling the client to add a new item in the
gallery, change the order of the gallery, and possibly image upload
but not even necessarily that.

any suggestions?

saw this one, http://www.codeandvisual.com/rainbow but haven't used
it. wondering what other people use.
I know joomla, drupal, etc are all popular cms's but don't know if you
can use these for what i'm talking about above.

[Flashcoders] Flash use a proxy for sockets.

2009-06-30 Thread Glen Pike

Hi,

   We have a system of distributed systems that use Flash to control 
various parts by sending commands over a socket.


   The problem is that these systems sit behind a firewall that only 
allows access from a specific IP address - our work offices...

   We want to be able to connect to these systems from the outside 
world - they also serve their Flash via a webserver so I set up a proxy 
on our office to allow us to connect to the webservers.


   The problem is that Flash Player does not use the proxy server for 
socket connections - it connects directly to the IP address derived from 
the URL of the SWF.  Is there any way I can make Flash use a proxy 
server for this???

Are you using AS2 or AS3?

I believe for as2 you would use:

function onSaveFile() {
//do something code here
}

then call on the function:
Eg:

saveFile_btn.onPress = function() {
onSaveFile();
};

[Flashcoders] When to use flash.util.proxy

2009-06-30 Thread Jiri

Hello list,

i am reading up on the flash.util.Proxy class and I came across this post:
http://www.onflex.org/ted/2006/04/magic-with-flashutilproxy.php


The author mentions this:
..Using Proxy is best reserved for situations when you want very fine 
grained control of behavior. The are very useful for dynamic method 
calls, like WebServices, Remoting, or in general creating a Facade for 
any type of object...


I dont really understand the remark and was wondering if someone could 
explain it to me.


I am trying to figure out when the usage of this proxy would be handy.

What is the difference with using normal getters and setters?
Could somebody tell me of a case where he/she used this flash.util.proxy?

2009-06-30 Thread jonathan howe
I think Mark is looking for a way to invoke a function call with a string.
The fastest is to use bracket notation:

Assuming you have the function defined in the scope of this, you can invoke
the function like this:

this[on + event.target.name + anotherVariable]();

I'm not sure I would use this technique/architecture myself.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash use a proxy for sockets.

2009-06-30 Thread Ron Wheeler
The usual way to solve this is to set the firewall to NAT the port to 
the server behind the firewall and have flash connect to the firewall on 
the NATed port.  In a made up case, NATing port 2980 on the firewall's 
ethernet 0 at 200.200.200.1 to  port 2980 on the server 192.168.1.7 on 
the firewall's ethernet 1 interface, causes access to public address 
200.200.200.1 port 2980 to be transparently remapped to 192.168.1.7:2980 
on the private net attached to the firewall.


If you have public addresses behind the firewall, you could do the NAT 
on one of these servers.


This is common. I use it to access administrative ports(eg SSH) on 
servers that are on private 192.168.x.x  or 10.x.x.x subnets that can 
not be used on the Internet.

[Flashcoders] Error #1009 shows randomly

2009-06-30 Thread Isaac Alves
Hello fellows,
I've bought at Flash Den a code of an Infinite Level Menu (from MBMedia) and
I'm pulling my hair out.

It throws that well known error as the text of the button doesn't show when
it should:

“TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a  property or method of a null
object reference. at local.display:rimaryButton/frame7()”
That without touching the code or elements on the stage. Actually, if inside
the main.fla file, I go inside the Expanding Menu and then inside the
Primary Button MovieClip and select the text field and at that point I test
the movie, it works correctly. As long as I leave the Primary Button
movieclip and test the movie, it throws that error again!

Obs: It is not actually  randomly that it  throws that error. I've tried a
thousand times to test the movie within a certain state  , that means,foe
example, when I'm iinside a certain movieclip  with the textfield selected.
and in that specific situation it always throws (or not) the error.

You know, I select a movieclip , test Movie and it works. I deselect it,
test movie  and it doesn't . Its seems like a bug... that's very bizarre.

Please help !!!

I tell the list that iconSource is the iconField to use:
   playList.iconField = iconSource;
I also do not replace the iconFunction. Within my external AS class file

declared the link name of the PNG graphics like public var 
btn_download:BitmapData.


But everything that happens is that - like before I have tried to add

Has anyone before desparately tried to achieve this and maybe could tell

 programming, etc. I can see how this might seem weird.

 This is the way it's done, almost universally in programming (as far as I
 know), it's definitely the same if you want to rename a file in Unix --
 i.e.
 mv origFile newFile

 Why would they need to put in an rename function if they already have a

 if that is what I have to use then so be it.

It might be a system setting. If you have your system set to Portuguese,
Flash might be going off the system settings.

Re: [Flashcoders] cms solution for flash sites?

As promised here are some links to do with Drupal / Wordpress  Flash:

http://www.travistidwell.com/drupal_flash_interface - not the best way 
to go about it...


http://www.cascadingstyle.net/files/presentations/DrupalConPresentation.pdf

http://drupal.org/node/134877

http://drupal.org/node/118136 - this is a useful one!

Wordpress:

http://klr20mg.com/2007/01/29/awi-amfphp-wordpress-integration/

http://code.google.com/p/awi/

Hope these are useful for some people - these bookmarks are up-to a year 
old (articles may be older, don't know).


Lots of people seem to be talking about using Zend + AMF, but as this is 
a big learning curve and I have not got the time, I don't know about 
it.  Bit disappointing that Code Igniter never seemed to include 
something - even though it's big brother Expression Engine does - if 
anyone knows whether this works or not, then that would be nice.


I guess the CMS depends on the job - a lot of companies tend to roll 
their own, Group 94's was a particularly sexy, but simple example.

Hi,

   Here is one possible place to start - many of the systems use 
AMFPHP for sending data backwards and forwards


   http://www.amfphp.org/frameworks.html

   Drupal does have XMLRPC webservices along with Wordpress 
(Wordpress' lets you do some blogging with this, but it is minimal) - 
I will have a look for my links when I get home.  Don't know about 
Joomla, but search for AMFPHP with Joomla, problem is if you use 
XML+Joomla you are likely to get back loads of tables because it's a 
bit behind the times :)

Sorry, posted the demo URL, it's available on Flash Den.

Userguide:

I have not used it apart from the demo, so I only have a 1000 yard 
view, but

from the doc's / demo it looks very straightforward to use and setup.

If you like getting your hands dirty  rolling your own stuff, maybe 
look at
something like Drupal + AMPHP / WebServices modules or a similar 
system.
 Personally I hate Joomla for it's crappy menu management (although 
that was
2 years ago), I like Drupal for it's flexibility, but it can be a 
pain to
configure.  I have found that Wordpress provides one of the easisest 
to use
CMS systems out of the box, (although it is bloating now 
somewhat), but

not much cop as an image library system.

There are tons of open source cms systems out there that you can 
plug
flash into.  Drupal supports a nice way of connecting from Flash 
sites

into
the CMS, but for some jobs this is a sledghammer vs nut problem.  The
system
above is designed to work with Flash, does not seem to have much 
setting

up
/ server side baggage and is streamlined enough for the customer 
to deal

with (possibly :) )

hey all,

when building basic portfolio sites for clients(i.e. galleries
containing image + text, showcasing photos, projects, etc) what 
is the

best cms to use?
Best meaning simple + free.
Basically something enabling the client to add a new item in the
gallery, change the order of the gallery, and possibly image upload
but not even necessarily that.

any suggestions?

saw this one, http://www.codeandvisual.com/rainbow but haven't used
it. wondering what other people use.
I know joomla, drupal, etc are all popular cms's but don't know 
if you

can use these for what i'm talking about above.

thanks!

[Flashcoders] AS3 onMetaData

2009-06-30 Thread Andrew Sinning
What types of objects other than FLV videos have metaData that triggers 
the onMetaData event?


In AS3, why is the onMetaData event handled differently than all the 
other events?  I.e., why can't it be used with addEventListener?
