Re: [Flashcoders] zinc 3.0 overhead
I'm using Zinc 2.5 for my games (http://www.thecodezone.com/games/bulldozer.php).I haven't had any real performance problems between standalone andweb-based versions. My stuff targets the Flash 8 runtime and isn't areal performance hog, though. I'm not upgrading to Zinc 3because the deployed apps will only run on XP or later. With 2.5 I cantarget everything back to Windows 98. - Original Message From: August Gresens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Flash Coders List Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 1:13:43 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] zinc 3.0 overhead Anyone else find that frame rates drop significantly with Flash projects wrapped in Zinc? Despite claims of performance enhancements, I'm noticing a significant decrease in performance with an AS3 SWF running in Zinc 3.0 on windows compared with the Flash Player. Using the flex sample at http://www.bubblemark.com/ I found that the project ran about 50% slower on Zinc than in the flash player (25-28 FPS in Zinc and 47-50 FPS in the Standalone Flash Player 9). Kind of a disappointment for a product touting itself as a game development platform for Flash. Has anyone else been down this road? Note: I was testing with the trial version.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal
You don't send passwords to paypal. Just the transaction details (item numbers, quantities, and prices) and your paypal address. The user enters all the secure stuff on the paypal site so you don't have to mess with that. The transaction you get from paypal only includes the user's info (name, email, and snailmail address) and details about the transaction (items purchased, quantities, and price). There's no way for me to sneakily charge extra money from one of my buyers' accounts. As for security the other way (i.e. people faking a purchase to you), there's a verify step. When paypal first contacts you to tell you that somebody bought something, they send you a key, which is a big string of random characters. You send this key to Paypal's verification-server, and it sends you back a "VERIFIED" or "NOT VERIFIED". If you get a "VERIFIED", then you can be sure that the transaction came from Paypal. Again, the sample-code takes care of all of this. Most of your paypal solution will involve downloading their sample code in your favorite server language (PHP, Perl, CF, etc) and modifying it to serve your needs. Google checkout is similar, security-wise, although it's entirely XML-based and requires an encrypted connection so you can't talk to it directly from Flash (at least not easily). In my case, I talk to a little piece of PHP on my site that sends the transaction to Google Checkout, because PHP has all the secure-connection stuff built in. One nice thing Google Checkout adds is that buyers can hide their emails from sellers. I've gotten a couple of these with game purchases. Instead of the user's real email address, I get something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This email forwards to the buyer, but only for a limited time. That way buyers don't have to worry about getting spammed by sellers after the fact. - Original Message From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 4:42:01 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal super-useful guys, thankyou how secure is this? are there any passwords or seller account details sent by flash to paypal?

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal
You don't need any third-party API's to talk to paypal. Since the paypal site accepts standard GET and POST CGI data, sending a transaction to Paypal can be done by setting up a LoadVars object, setting the parameters to your shopping cart in the object, then sending that LoadVars object to PayPal's little processor at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (note that there's apparently a long-standing bug in Flash's POST-handler, so I just use GET. It makes for ugly URL's, but it works) As for doing back-end processing from Paypal (i.e. being notified that somebody bought something and you need to act on that purchase), google for "IPN", which is Paypal's spec for creating and acting on transactions. Paypal's got good sample code in several server-side languages along with developer forums and a sandbox (i.e. a "fake paypal" where you can test your code without spending real money). The process basically goes like this. . . 1. You send your shopping cart data to paypal (either from Flash or some other browser-based shopping-cart solution) 2. The user is sent to paypal where he pays for the transaction. 3. Paypal contacts some server-side code telling you that somebody bought something. 4. You verify the transaction with paypal (to make sure you're not being spoofed) 5. If verified, do whatever's necessary to complete the transaction, like email the user a download link.

Re: [Flashcoders] Screensavers...
I've done screensavers with Screenweaver and had good luck. The one thing that puts it ahead of Zinc for screensavers is that you can set up an SWF file to appear as the setup-dialog if somebody presses the "settings" button on the Windows display preferences. That way you can add settings for your screensaver. And it's free :) I haven't tried the other projector-tools, so I can't comment on them. Jason Ross wrote: Hi ...

It appears that the decision is up to Palm (or whoever owns the Palm brand now) to agree on a license. Presumably the code for a Palm-based player is already written, as the Sony-licensed Palm clone had a Flash player installed on it. Much like Flash Lite, the player's written and it's now a matter of the hardware maker ponying up the license fees required to bundle the player with the device. --- John Hattan The Code Zone - Sweet Software for a Saturnine World www.thecodezone.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
