Re: [Flashcoders] cms solution for flash sites?
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 :) Glen jared stanley wrote: on that note, does anyone have any good resources for using drupal/wp/joomla one of the bigger solutions to do this kind of thing? whenever i search flash cms wordpress or whatver i always get articles about how to add flash content to the site template, not about how to update/edit xml content On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 5:40 AM, Glen Pikeg...@engineeredarts.co.uk wrote: Sorry, posted the demo URL, it's available on Flash Den. http://flashden.net/item/flash-xml-editor-version-2/47884 Userguide: http://www.flashxmleditor.com/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.

[Flashcoders] Flash use a proxy for sockets.
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??? Glen ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] When to use flash.util.proxy
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?

Re: [Flashcoders] Reach a single attribute value on a XML node withxpath AS3
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.
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.

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.

Seems like he has just finished it and hasn't released it yet. Have you been using it? -jonathan On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 7:02 AM, Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.ukwrote: It's not free, but probably the simplest / easiest to configure and timesaving when compared to a lot of software. http://www.flashxmleditor.com/demo/ 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 :) ) HTH Glen jared stanley wrote: 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 mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] AS3 onMetaData
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? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
