[Flashcoders] peer 2 peer
hi has anyone tried making a peer 2 peer client via Flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer
ah yea... but IF the server is JUST a meeting spot -- could Flash clients actually host data? As long as the server is just doing the mapping of other clients its okbut what I was thinking about was having them all hold data somehow. Like - what is the internal limit for Flash plug in - receiving data? Is it browser limit? etc...

It's impossible to do a Flash Player to a remote Flash Player directly because you need some external common meeting place (like a server) to tell you that somebody is waiting to connect. Also there is nothing in Flash Player 8 or less that would let you host incomming connections as all it can do is pull stuff into the player via LoadVars or XML or XMLSocket. So I think the minute you introduce a server that acts as a directory or lobby for Flash Players to connect, your back to the old Client- Server model which is not really P2P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thomas Marbois Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 2:25 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] peer 2 peer hi has anyone tried making a peer 2 peer client via Flash?

[Flashcoders] Flash to Sql interface developer needed!
Hi Im looking for someone to wire up an existing SQL database structure -- into a similarly operating interface like this one: http://www.friendsofed.com/download.html?isbn=1590591585 (see - Making XML work for your interface) I have modified this project slightly to show the possible way to visualize the DB in question. Its a database of SurfBoard Shapers - and their boards made -as well as the surfers who ride them. First I need a basic prototype done that actually connects to the MySql tables -- this example project connects to an XML file. Right now - I am not concerned about how it connects - as long as the database can be updated and the flash interface can show the changes in a simple number of steps. So XML or not -- if you have a decent way of getting back and forth on the sql to flash - thats fine. Are there any good flash people available to do this job? Please send your examples and your rates! best regards, TJ Marbois ___ 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] mobile?
Ah... thanks. But the Nokia phones are coming with Flashlite installed already right? I think this market is getting ready to take off for mobile flash stuff...and Im keeping my projects in the frame of mind that I can port things over - or make lite-extensions to my flash web-apps. regards Tj On Jun 3, 2006, at 10:41 AM, Dave Watts wrote: which one has the widest distribution now?

Re: [Flashcoders] self published.
This red5 looks promising. The architecture using java on the backend is fine - in fact Id like it to be scaleable. My only concern is the legality of reverse engineering they have done - and what Macromedia might do or not. Are there some experienced red5 developers here? Regards Tj On Jun 1, 2006, at 6:55 AM, Bernard Visscher wrote: Maybe if you have engough clients you could use a dedicated server for all your clients with a maintenance contract so you don't have to do everything yourself ;) But Yes Red5 needs java. You can do something like this with php-sockets but then the hoster will have to set safemode off (because of the runtime limit) and you will have a permanent running script. I don't think the hoster will like to have that ;) -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Mike Britton Verzonden: donderdag 1 juni 2006 15:46 Aan: Flashcoders mailing list Onderwerp: Re: [Flashcoders] self published. Red5 requires a jvm (or jre) on the server, if I read correctly. I've been trying to get my host to install one for shared hosting accounts, and would use this red5 over localconnection if I were lucky enough to have java.

Why must your utility communicate with your servers? Why would you not create your utility and make it available via the exchange as a component instead? -- - its a game or utility that allows real-time interaction with others. - my server PUSHES data to your screen. - its not designed for Flash developers to add into the site - its designed for anyone with a moderate level of html skills to self publish into a site. - I may instead GIVE a URL link for them to embed or copy into their site - but I want to know the benefits or cons for either method. method a = embed a SWF in someones own domain and communicate with it -- push data to it -- via XML socket? method b = GIVE someone a referenced URL link that they embed into their own site.

To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be possible to make a connection between servers using LocalConnection. You'd have to ensure your client swf was assigned an id to authenticate their application to access the data. There would have to be a security model, in other words. Once again I've never done this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm sure interesting things are possible if they are sophisticated enough to drop a crossdomain.xml to give you the ability to distribute components that interact with your data. In this case I have to say Flash would make a compelling choice for your idea. Mike - thanks mikeIm still digging into finding out if it can do what i want. I think it can - but I just dont know the implementation details or the subtle security issues that cause communication to flash to be difficult. Basically if I can push some data thru to the client using either XML or another method - and recieve data back to my servers - then Im set. The only other issues i have to research are security of data - and security of swf files for decompile -- which I saw was possibly with an encryption software.

[Flashcoders] self published.
Hi I have an idea for a self placed utility using Flash. Meaning I allow users to place this utility in their own domains - and I dont know where those domains are -- and my utility allows me real-time communications between their published file - and my servers. What kind of Flash security issues will i have to work around to get this to work on most or all domains? Is this possible? How?
