Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and mac file types
Thanks guys. First I tried setting the mac file types to tink's list
(ie: macType:"MPG3;MP3_;Mp3_;MPEG"). Didn't work. Then I read Josh's
page and he suggested not putting any mactype... It worked. Sweet.
Thanks again.

Thanks Alain - one more question. I'm trying to have a way for a client to change the styles of text using CSS; originally I thought CSS killed an inputText, but it still seems to work.

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and mac file types
the mac file type for an mp3 will be (note the spaces in the strings - mac
file types are 4 characters) "MP3 " or "Mp3 ".i think. mac file types
and pc file types are not the same.
check this article: http://www.tink.ws/blog/macintosh-file-types/
i did some stuff with FileReference a while back and concluded that it was
easier, and maybe safer to take the name, or type property of a
FileReference object and do a toLowerCase().indexOf("mp3") on that to ensure
the right file types.

[Flashcoders] another CSS / htmlText question
Got another CSS/htmlText flash question. What I've been working with is this: I've got a screen layout program that allows the client to select background images, and how many columns they want. Then, when any column is selected they get a live input textbox they can put in the text they want for that column. They can select a section of text they want to apply a style. I've got all this working fabulously - ie even with the focus going off because of the combobox. What I'm doing is calling a function that gets the begin..endIndex of the textbox and applies the chose textFormat by setNewTextFormat; it then sends the changed htmlText to the screen's textbox. Well, now I want to change to CSS rather than saving the styles (which will allow me to change things later). I want to be able to select the text ie 'bob says hi' and add the selected CSS stylename such as txt = " + selectedTextString + "". This is all easy to do the first time - the selected section gets replaced with this and the htmlText gets set. But since the preview box can have OTHER htmlText -- well, if I'm getting the string based on the TEXT of a member; how can I get the correct offset from the htmlText of a member? do a substring with the actual selected string? Is that the only way? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Combobox ...
Make sure the value is a string. i.e.:
my_cb.dataProvider = [{data:1, label:"01"}, {data:2, label:02}];
will show labels: 01 and 2 as 01 is a string whereas 02 isn't.

Anyone know a way around this.

Re: [Flashcoders] CSS question..
Also you should use font-size (in px) not size. I'm not sure if
text-transform works or letter-spacing or margins for that matter. Keep
you CSS simple and all should be well.

[Flashcoders] Flex 2 Eclipse ANT task
Hi list, I don't know if there are any Flex 2 SDK users out there that like to use the Flex 2 SDK in conjunction with Eclipse, but I've put together an ANT task for Eclipse so you can compile your AS3/MXML projects from within Eclipse. You can find the project at www.flex2ant.org (hopefully all DNS's are updated by now). - Luke ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Highscore submit security with independent library
Translating to the library thing, the only way to create a semi-secure highscore submitting system is by coding it myself, and never giving anyone the source? No, as Weyert already said, SWFs can be decompiled. I don't know how decompilers react to non-Flash-IDE compilers, like MTASC or haXe -- maybe they could make it more difficult. But even if you do your algorithms with flasm, it would only make it harder for the attacker, not impossible. If all they can win is a T-shirt, they probably won't bother (and if they do anyway, they deserve it). If it was be a widely used library, however, then the effort would pay.

Re: [Flashcoders] Highscore submit security with independent library
It does not mean that you can't distribute actionscript source, just that the logic can't all be in the client side AS. In general, relying on the secrecy of the algorithm is not good security.

You might have a look at SWHX : http://haxe.org/swhx It enables you to control the Flash Player from haXe/Neko. And since you can add C/C++ libraries to Neko, you can also interact with the Flash Player this way.

Re: [Flashcoders] Highscore submit security with independent library
On-line gambling applications are possible where single transactions are worth significant amounts of money. You need to think very carefully about the design and be sure that the server can validate the score independently of the client. One possible line of thinking is to send the server regular progress indications and validate the users path through the game. The next transaction not only has to be valid in itself but also has to be valid in terms of all previous transactions. If the sequence of progress points gets broken, then you refuse to accept the final score. This is a simple state engine on the server. Keeping part of the game logic on the server is the best way to ensure that access to the client code is not enough to break the game. ie. send a transaction to the server and get back the outcome, mark the result on the server and let the client setup the game to the state returned by the server for the next interaction. This way, a fake client can not simply send a sequence of transactions. You can also enforce a minimum amount of time between transactions and steer someone to a dead end position if they play too fast (ie use an automatic transaction generation system). If the user already has a winning path through the game and has recorded how to do it, you may get a lot of high scores from 1 person. That is another problem. If you randomize the outcomes on the server side, you can make sure that each game must follow a different path. Just as every security measure has a successful hack, every hack can be countered. Welcome to the battleground. Vigilance is one of the big expenses in real casinos. The best on-line gaming companies recognize that they always have to be looking for evidence of new hacks, for gamers finding new way to collude and for all kinds of fraud that they have not foreseen.

Re: [Flashcoders] Highscore submit security with independent library
Hi Tjeerd, The problem is that you can decompile flash movies with something like ActionScript Viewer. Meaning you can just easily browse the code. In readable form, by my knowledge you would always have a bit of the algoritmn in the flash movie to make it all. Meaning you can see how they send the data over. For example, you can find out how the 'salt' is generated within the movie, or any other verification 'bits'. It's hard. That's all.

[Flashcoders] How-To access Flash Player from C++ on OSX ?
Hello Everybody ! I've already been Flash Player together with custom C++ solutions under Windows and it's working nicely. However, at the moment i am very interested on cross-plattform development using flash for user interfaces on both windows and OSX, but i've got very little experiences on OSX development, especially concerning the topic "how to access flash player on OSX !?". Can anybody help? (Currently i'm using XCode. I've seen you can use Cocoa, Webkit, Carbon, ... I've managed to do some simple Cocoa-based userinterfaces - But how to embedd Flash Player?) Thanks!

Also, as was already pointed out, this looks like it's a generated page being run in some servlet container that must have been setup during the installation process. Perhaps that part of the install failed on your machine and this JSP/Servlet server isn't working for you.

Re: [Flashcoders] swf and domains, what domain made the call?
Perhaps when you instruct with what EMBED code to use on myspace, do it like
this...
EMBED src="mydomain.com/myfile.swf?id=123"
That ID could be a unique ID to a certain account. In flash you can do
whatever database calls you need and check if that userID has the access you
need. If the swf is called without the ID, then don't allow it.
OR...
I'm not sure if this will work, but you could use...
EMBED src="mydomain.com/myfile.php" - your php could check who the referrer
is, and do whatever checking you need, then load your SWF and spit out a
SWF-file type.

Not quite what I am looking for. Here is my situation.
I have a swf on my server. This swf will be allowed to be posted on
other sites such as myspace (if the user that created the account has a
certain account type). Since it can be posted on myspace the actual swf
will be in an embed tag on myspace with an src pointing to my server.
What I need to do is once this swf gets called is see what the referring
domain is and see if the creator of that content has an account that
allows embedding on external sites.
if(domain == "myserver" || domain == "www.myserver){
// serve up content this is on our server no account check needed
}
else{
// WAIT!!! check if this content creator can embed outside of our
domain
}
I hope I got my point across and I hope what i am trying to accomplish
is actually doable. I tried localConnections domain function but that
gave me the domain of the swf which was on my server not the domain of
the html file that called/embedded the swf.
