[flexcoders] Custom Layout

[Dan Vega]

I created a custom layout called StairsLayout

package {
 import mx.core.ILayoutElement;
import spark.components.supportClasses.GroupBase;
import spark.layouts.supportClasses.LayoutBase;
 public class StairsLayout extends LayoutBase {
 public function StairsLayout() {
super();
}
 override public function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(w,h);
 var layoutElement:ILayoutElement;
var count:uint = target.numElements;
 for(var i:int = 0; i < count; i++){
layoutElement = target.getElementAt(i);
 var _x:Number = 50 * i;
var _y : Number = 50 * i;
layoutElement.setLayoutBoundsPosition(_x,_y);
  }
 }
 }
}

And I am using the layout on some images

If you are using a module project in FB, you may not be able to 
capture the link-report from the main app.  You will have to buld from

[flexcoders] Re: Flex charts to powerpoint


2010-08-11

Thread
DustinB

I need to post this on my blog, but the way I did it was with an AIR app, 
though a Flex app could do it too. It wasnt ideal, but worked.

Basically, I took my Flex chart and captured it as a bitmap, then transcoded 
that to base64.

MS PowerPoint 2007 supports the .mht file format which is basically XML.

I saved a PPT template in mht format. In the template, I set up where my chart 
images would go and sized it correctly. In the image name I inserted marker 
text I'd later replace with a token.

Save the file as MHT, and then open it and search for the images you added by 
the keywords you used. You will see the images are in base64. 

Replace the base64 text with a token, like "[_token_1_]".

Save that file as xml.

Then your Air app can read in that file, replace the tokens with the base64 
version of the chart images you have, and then resave the file to disk with a 
.ppt extension.  When Power Point opens the file, it will show it as a normal 
PPT, and the user can save it again as ppt if they like.

The hardest part is sizing the images properly and it sucks that I had to 
create templates first. With enough time, you can decipher the PPT decks start 
and end of slide and make your Flex app smarter about creating each slide.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Security?

Thread

Use a token system.  Accessing the entry page, preferably by the submission and 
validation of a username and password, have the server randomly generate a 
token and store it in php (or whatever your server side language is written in) 
session variables.  For any other data request of any kind, query the session 
token and validate it prior to accepting any data or executing any other code.  
This, of course, should be in addition to any sql injection correction you do 
on data received (side note).

Happy coding!

[flexcoders] Flex and Zend acess https


2010-08-11

Thread
Julie

I have a project using Flex as Front End, php as service and Zend Framework as 
gateway. I was able to run correctly on my local or non ssl environment. 
However, when it was deployed to a security environment using https, I kept on 
getting "channel disconnect" error. 

The project was developed following Zend Framework examples. Zend automatically 
created skeleton services on the client side. I tried to override chanelset in 
the generated services by Zend to point to https instead of http. It did not 
work.

Can somebody please help? Thanks!

SomeClass.saveHighScore(20394948548438484).


Can any one advise me on ways i could secure this method?

Hi Clark,

first of all, there is no secure method; you can just make it harder.

Consider this scenario:
the website uses a server session. When the game starts, or just prior to
sending highscore, the movie asks the server for some token (which will
be stored in the serverside session data)
Now the movie performs some calculations with the token and the value,
and sends result of calculation.
Server can verify that the client was indeed using the token matching its
session ID. The calculation is sort of a crypt thing, obviously

RE: [flexcoders] Vote For This Critiical RemoteObject  bug

Thread
Battershall, Jeff

Kelly, valid point and I've already spent considerable time optimizing things 
to reduce the size and improve the response time of individual requests.  
Pagination is only one of the scenarios.  There are situations such as during 
application start up where routine requests can take longer than you think they 
should.

Bottom line, however, it is the decision of the developer to have longer 
requests or not, and this should not be pre-determined for them by the 
framework - that's why you have the requestTimeout parameter in the first 
place. It works as expected on the Mac, just not on Windows.

Why do you have RemoteObject calls that normally take longer then 30 seconds to 
complete?

Why not just make multiple requests?

I would question calls that average more then 300ms for small data and 3s for 
larger data.

Any data loads larger then that should be paged.

Any logic that takes longer then that should run in background and periodically 
poll for updates.

How about computing the hash based on the date and time when someone invokes 
the high score? Time can be +- 15 seconds to account for the amount of time to 
get to the server. The server computes the same hash when it receives the call 
and then compares. Someone could possibly grab the hash in Charles and plug it 
in to some code to call it but probably not in 15 seconds. By then the hash 
will be out of date.

Or, you could send a date/time string hash as well as the high score hash and 
make sure that is within your parameters.

Just thinking out load here...

Exactly, what Gk said.
You can make it difficult to forge the data on client, but you cannot 100%
prevent it from being "cracked", so, better, keep the score on the server.

If you want it to be fairly untouchable, have all your game logic on the
server. The only thing the swf does is gather input, and display state.

 

That way, nobody can spoof the game logic (which is pretty much your
issue).

 

Gk.

Thanks for your help guys.


Oleg:

I didnt really understand what you meant. The server cant know about your
highscroe locally? IE: you score 13 points. You need to tell the server that
you got 13 points. How could the server know otherwise that you got 13
points?

Valdhor:

I think this is something we approached first. When the HTML page is
generated, a hash is created which must be passed along with the username
for anything to happen. Its just for my brain, whats to stop me using
charles to see the hash, then calling "highscore(userID, hash,
39894809489048840984)". Its for this reason i dont understand hashs, they
help but not really.

https was also another option but i think that this application uses
different networks

Game.swf comes from game.com
UserInfo comes from network1.com, network2.com

I believe this makes HTTPS impossible?

Anyways thanks again.

[flexcoders] Data Management

If I create two tables and wish to display attributes from both and I join 
these tables together and display the results everything is fine.

If I then need to change some of this data by updating or deleting from one of 
the tables (as update and delete wont work for the joined tables) I get a 
conflict error...

"Local item has changes to properties that conflict with remote change."

instructing that my local joined table (that I read in from the database) is 
now diffrent from the current state of the table (on the server).

This Data Management is getting to be a pain, does anybody know how to get 
around this proble or simply turn it off.

I was hoping maybe their was a way to tell Zend to drop all refrences to the 
joined table so that their wouldn't be any more errors when the data is 
re-displayed.

You could always use a secure connection via https. Also, you could send an

[flexcoders] Re: Flex charts to powerpoint

I don't think you can export the charts directly. In my application, I allow 
users to save the chart image as a jpg file which they can insert into their 
powerpoint documents for creating presentations.

var image:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage( mychart, 0, new 
JPEGEncoder() );

var file:FileReference = new FileReference();

file.save(image.data, "chart.jpg");

@id must be a simple identifier, it's the same as variable name in AS3. What
you can do though is like this: add creationComplete handler to the
repeating components and collect them into vector / array / dictionary /
etc, whatever suites you better. Something like this:





var event:Event = arguments[0] as Event;
this.labels.push(event.currentTarget);

By the way, while you are on it... sometimes the window opened by
FileReference isn't modal, Flash will also not dispatch key release events
after the dialog box appears... I hadn't have the time to post these :)
(Make sure it wasn't posted before)

You shouldn't send sensitive data to begin with, you need to calculate it on
server and call saveHighScore() without parameters, so only server will know
what the score was. No matter what your client technology is, the client
cannot be trusted.





Re: [flexcoders] Alert messages in multi window AIR bug in framework?

Hi,

I've run into this problem too. I've attempted the solution in the original
email. However when I tried it I also had to delete the import to core/
version.as as it didn't seem to work.

I'm not sure what this import does as it seemed to work correctly without
it.

Also if this is in Jira could someone provide me with a link to Jira so I
can vote for the bug.

Regards,

Wes
