[flexcoders] Re: security & flex
the link has everything to do with my question. He gives an example of a shopping cart/payment system setup in Flex. This raises my question of whether or not flash is secure enough to operate his phone store in real life. More specifically, user enters information into flash app, which then sends it somewhere to get processed (presumably some HTTPS address). The period of time where flash is transfering info to the HTTPS address is not secure, as described here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_amazon_02.html Specifically, Miti (a Flex Evangelist, so we should take his word for it, right?) says: "hardcoding sensitive information into a Flex application is a highly insecure practice". So, is it possible that Pandora's (100% Flex) payments system is secure? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jimmy G wrote: > > What gave you the impression that UI built in Flex less secure than one > built in HTML?

Re: [flexcoders] security & flex
What gave you the impression that UI built in Flex less secure than one built in HTML? In both cases the end-user can input sensitive data like credit card information and then it is up to you to setup proper security. Like making sure that the client to server communication is done using SSL (meaning HTTPS). If you dont do this in either case, then anyone can capture the data that is being transmitted. You need to provide more information so we can help you. Also the link you provide below doesn't have anything to do with you question.

[flexcoders] security & flex
I was under the impression that flex is not a secure UI and that credit card information and other sensitive information should not be passed through flash/flex. When I upgraded my account with Pandora, I noticed the payments system interface was flash. Also, there is the flex store that Conraets talks about at http://coenraets.org/blog/2010/02/flexstore-revisited-building-an-animated-spark-layout/ So, are these methods not secure, then?

[flexcoders] GroupingCollection.getParent() doesn't exist?
Hi, Does anyone know why the getParent() command listed in the docs doesn't seem to exist? http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/collections/GroupingCollection.html#getParent%28%29 I've trying to use it like this... refreshParent = GroupingCollection(model.groupingCollection).getParent(); Thanks, Nick
[flexcoders] Find tree node in groupingcollection?
Hi, Does anyone know the best way to find the tree node in the grouping collection for the selected row in an AdvancedDataGrid ? Hope that makes sense... I've got an ADG with a grouping collection for the provider and I've got a selected row, what I would like to do is get the next level up and reference the tree node so i can then vendorComplexSearch.advancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf(treeNode, false); vendorComplexSearch.advancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf(treeNode, true); to force a refresh only on that tree node without collapsing the whole AdvancedDataGrid. Thanks for any help... Nick
Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm/ Command/ AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() ?
Hey Jake, Cheers for the response... I've gone with a ChangeWatcher approach. Update the model from the command and I've dropped in the ChangeWatcher in the view, seems to be working but was curious who others would solve this... I'll look into CG Extensions though, cheers for the idea! Nick On 18 April 2010 20:29, Jake Churchill wrote: > > > Wel, just tell them it's an upgraded version of the cairngorm SWC.

Wel, just tell them it's an upgraded version of the cairngorm SWC.

Hi Jake, Thanks for the info... I know this sounds crazy but because of project/ company politics we have extreem difficulty getting 3rd party libraries on the project.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm/ Command/ AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() ?
Download cairgorm extensions. It has classes called Callbacks which basically notifies the view after a command has finished. It's perfect for this situation. -Jake -- Sent from my Palm Prē On Apr 18, 2010 1:02 PM, Nick Middleweekwrote: Hi, I'm working on a cairngorm flex app and have been told to put all business logic inside the CG Command.

Hi, I'm working on a cairngorm flex app and have been told to put all business logic inside the CG Command. At the end of the CG Command, I need to get the ADG to expand it's grouping nodes for a particular node.

Nevermind. I found the DateFriend Class has a stringToDate function that worked like a charm.
