[Flashcoders] should this work?

2007-02-13 Thread Lance Massey
I have an application on my computer which is simply a socket  
listening for a connection on 127.0.0.1 port 5824.


So, in AS3 I created a swf with the following code

var sock:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
sock.connect(127.0.0.1,5824);

and uploaded it to my server.


Now, when I go to the web page where I uploaded the .swf, it connects  
to the socket in my local application -- giving me the ability to  
issue commands from Flash to the local machine. Repeat: the swf is  
running from the web server, not in the Flash sandbox...


Is that correct? Or if I do try to create some Flash-localhost  
hybrid, will I get bitten by some sandbox/security issue in the future?

It would seem to be alright.
If the computer opening the socket is accepting messages from  
Flash, why would the FlashPlayer care about that. It can not  
possibly tell if the person who wrote the server application at the  
other end of the socket has compromised the server
The server administrator is letting the socket be opened so once  
again, why should the FlashPlayer care.


The fact that the server is 127.0.01 and th server administrator is  
the same person driving the browser should all be lost on Flash.

Flash did not break the user's security.
The user did when the socket was opened up. Anyone who can get to  
that socket can do whatever the socket allows.

On a LAN, this will be fun for hackers.

[Flashcoders] job

2007-02-05 Thread Lance Massey

Sorry for being a bit off topic.

The company I'm working for *really* needs high end actionscripters  
with solid PHP experience. Please email me if you're available, or if  
you know somewhere else I can find people.


Thanks,

Lance

[Flashcoders] List Components, matrix data, and object properties

2006-01-12 Thread Lance Massey
I create a playlist which is an array of tracks. Each track has a  
title, an id, an artist, and a URL. Magically, when I set my List  
Component's dataProvider to playlist, it shows all the titles. But  
the real miracle is that when I click on a title all the track  
properties corresponding to that title are available.


Does this means the List component holds 2D data (I thought is was a  
list only)? And is it safe to assume this is not anomalous behavior,  
but something I can count on for the future (because this *really*  
makes life much easier)?

Re: [Flashcoders] onSoundComplete

2006-01-12 Thread Lance Massey
I have a spider which streams files from all over, so I don't have  
the option of modifying the id3... :(


My dodgy work around:

var pos_timer = setInterval(checkPlayTime, 1000, theMP3);
function checkPlayTime(s1:Sound){
curPos = s1.duration-s1.position;
if (curPos200) {
clearInterval(pos_timer);
nextTrack();// function to get and play next track in 
the playlist...
}
};

Clumsy, but it works (http://www.gorillapop.com/gorilla/xspf/ 
xspf.html is a demo)

It works just fine with me.  Before I start, I make sure I fill up the
TLEN of all the songs.  I use TLEN for another reason but that's the
only thing I can think of that I do to all my files.

It might work.

Goodluck

[Flashcoders] tossable boxes and editing text

2006-01-08 Thread Lance Massey

Hey all,

I'm working on yet another XSPF mp3 player for my site. A couple of  
the boxes are tossable (e.g. if you drag and let go, they float to a  
stop), but when I try to make the Search box tossable I can no  
longer enter text into the search field. Any ideas? (It seems to be  
an issue with using enterFrame to control the animation)


Also -- any suggestions on implementing drag 'n' drop between the lists?

Thanks,

L
