Hi FlashCoders !
Sorry again for my bad english...
We've a big and curious problem with cfm pages, since one week, without
finding a real solution.
It seem's there is a problem beetween flash player and navigator especialy
IE 7.0
We build online games, and this games make request to the server using cfm
pages (ColdFusion 5.0 and Flash 8 pro).
For exemple, the Flash ask to the map description off a game, like:
http://www.domaine.com/game/general.cfm?action=ask_map
and the cfm page return:
&id_map=152&map_description=5,6,9,1,2,3,8,4,5,6,1,5,3 etc...
With IE 7, after 200 or 220 requests to the cfm page, the connection return
with success but the params are "undefined". We need to clear the cache of
IE to be abble again to get params from the cfm page, and this only for 200
requests again.
We've verifyed with the plugin HttpWatch that the connection was success,
and that the params was correctly returned by the cfm page. So the navigator
get the params, but did'nt pass theym to the flash player.
We've try to add a timer (date+time, it's a unique number, better than a
random number) to the URL like:
http://www.domaine.com/game/general.cfm?timer=121546546685211&action=ask_map
... doesn't change anything
We've try to add the timer befor the "?" of the URL with a "\" (not "/") we
send something like:
http://www.domaine.com/game/general.cfm\timer=121546546685211?action=ask_map
(The navigator automaticaly correct \ in /, I don't know if this is
important to explain)
With this solution, we did'nt have any problem with IE 7, but it start to be
worst with FireFox especially release 1.5.0.7
I test today with a cookie on one game, around 1500 gamers (about 100
requests by gamer), there was 4% of theym who has a connection witch comes
back with no success (both navigators) and 1.3% witch comes back with
success but where the params are undefined (usually IE). When connection
work wrong, the game test automaticaly again the connection a second time.
Only 0.4% of the gamers ware not abble to get a good connection again. But
it seem's hudred by day...
Does anybody have a similar problem? any solution?
The flash code is something like this:
var varLoader:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
function askMap() {
varLoader.onLoad = _root.askMap_callBack;
varLoader.sendAndLoad("http://www.domaine.com/game/general.cfm?action=ask_map",varLoader,"GET";);}function
askMap_callBack(success) { if (success != true){ trace("no success"); // do something in the game }else{ trace("success");
for (var i_o in varLoader) { trace("param:"+i_o+" --> "+varLoader[i_o]); } // do something in the game }}it returns
(trace):successparam:id_map --> 152param:map_description --> 5,6,9,1,2,3,8,4,5,6,1,5,3 etc...
