If it's going to an Air application, than it can write the bytes
temporarily, load the Movie and delete the temporary file. I did that years

Subject: [flexcoders] Intriguing AMFPHP sample
Hi,
Was just looking through some blogs on AMFPHP and came across a php
snippet that showed:
function getSwf()
{
return new ByteArray(file_get_contents(my.swf));
}
But no sample of what to do on the Flex side to turn it back into
something useable.
How would you convert that ByteArray of the swf file back to a
MovieClip/SWFLoader/something displayable ??
Thanks,
Nik

Subject: [flexcoders] SQL Lite syntax issue, need something cleared up
regarding SELECT
While working on the login functionality of the application I'm
developing, I noticed that SQL seems to be interpereted differently
than what I'm used to. Here's my current select statement that I'm
using for validation:
sqlText = SELECT * FROM Up18Technicians WHERE TechName = + userName
+ AND Password = + pass;
Which translates to:
SELECT * FROM Up18Technicians WHERE TechName = Ross AND Password = 358029
Now, when the application gets to the execute portion, it throws this
error:
SQLError: 'Error #3115: SQL Error.', details:'no such column: Ross',
operation:'execute'
at flash.data::SQLStatement/internalExecute()
at flash.data::SQLStatement/execute()
at
MatMgr::DataManager/techLogin()[C:\Tech_Connect\MatMgr_Proto\src\MatMgr\Data

10]
at
MatMgr_Proto/__btnLogin_click()[C:\Tech_Connect\MatMgr_Proto\src\MatMgr_Prot
o.mxml:18]
This indicates that it is trying to find columns by the name of what
was entered instead of trying to find values in those columns matching
what I entered. I looked up SQL as its understood by SQL lite, but it
seems a bit confusing and I'm unsure if it's even the problem. If it
is, then I'm just wondering if it may have something to with perhaps
the AND keyword isn't understood or maybe there's something up with
how I'm using the WHERE clause.
Here's the function I'm using to perform this in case it helps:
public function techLogin(userName:String, pass:String):void
{ //This loads information needed to login technicians
sqlText = SELECT * FROM Up18Technicians WHERE TechName = +
userName + AND Password = + pass;
trace(sqlText);
selectStatement = new SQLStatement();
conn = new SQLConnection();
selectStatement.sqlConnection = conn;
conn.open(dbFile);
selectStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, selectTechLoginResult);
selectStatement.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, errorHandler);
selectStatement.text = sqlText;
selectStatement.execute(); //Error happens here, doesn't go any further

As per a suggestion from another member of the forum, I have decided to repost my question with a more descriptive title. Right now I am currently in the midst of designing an Adobe AIR application which is basically a new and improved version of legacy software coded in VB6 (I'm using Flex 3). At the moment I'm purely working on the client side of things and one issue I'll be having to deal with is this: The old VB6 application was able to accept input from synchronized PALM devices as well as others, but I want to focus on PALM first. Now, I've never developed this kind of software before, and I'm even quite new to Adobe Flex and AIR, having only been using them for the past few weeks. That said, I'm having trouble figuring out where to get started, I'm aware that I need some sort of conduit software, but I don't know whether I need to code that myself or simply download it. I'm also not sure where to begin going about setting things up so that the software I'm working on can listen for when a client scans a barcode and having the results show up in the application on the desktop. I'm searching google as well but my search-fu is rather weak so that'll take a while so I have decided to post here in the meantime. This is by no means time-critical as this is just the beginning of the project. Thanks in advance.

I would expect some function call to enable download of swfs from a particular domain. If there are any workarounds that anyone knows about then please post here as we would really like to know. We already have a web app that makes good use of modules. The app communicates with a server running JBoss using XML, and the web app firstly downloads a list of menu items, each of which relates to a module. The user only needs to download the modules that he accesses. We were hoping to do this with AIR, so that we could have the user download the AIR container app just once, and then we could add as many modules as we liked without having to make the user re-install the whole app. BTW the XML to JBoss seems to work - we just need to get the modules working.

If you're looking for a reason to not go with Silverlight, than go on the tried and true backup that no matter what Microsoft says, it will never be as flexible and well adopted as Flash already is. Adobe has the client market covered between Acrobat and Flash, so I won't be losing any sleep anytime soon. !k _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Thompson Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1:50 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Adobe People, Save me from Silverlight! (Microsoft's Legal Record) Here is a big reason why NOT to go with Silver-Light: I am Robert D. Thompson. Here is Federally Published public record of something, http://www.fedcirc.us/case-reviews/thompson-v.-microsoft-corporation-4.html I will not discuss the above public record, but will discuss why I believe it would be Historically of poor judgment to trust Microsoft with a Client side technology, including it's lost to SUN Microsystems for licensing and then hacking it's client-side technology, and other cases such as Stac Electronics. Steven Ballmer went to Country Day Prep academy here in my homestate of Michigan and I know several people there through individuals I've known through Track and Field and running in the Junior (high-school level) TAC national championship team with through regionals. I've also had an attorney who has gone to that same school at the same time as Steven Ballmer. - OpenGL is standard, Microsoft will force DirectX even though it's losing ground to OpenGL among the vendors. It will find ways to tie into the API and hack things up like they did in the SUN MICROSYSTEMS's Java Hack - can you imagine; these people at Microsoft actually licensed Sun's Java and got the source code to it and hacked it up so it wouldn't run on Windows IE well without bugs. Even Rick Segal has posted comments after being quietly abandoned by Microsoft after the Steve Barkto Incident (google that) as saying that Microsoft hi-jacked the efforts of both Apple's QuickTime and Blue Mountain software through unethical methods and when the court asked for source code record, Microsoft said it was not available and Segal argued this was ridiculous (google Blue Mountain v Microsoft. I talk about State Attorney generals who have had much harsher things to say about MS than anyone on my site www.ActiveCommunity.com - Microsoft is losing ground to Apple, to OpenGL (look into Papervision 3D, it's amazing and can run on ALL PLATFORMS; MS will limit other platforms to a viewer only and it's been buggy as far as I've heard). - I am a .NET Programmer who specializes in using ActionScript 3.0 and integrating it with SQL Server 2005 using stored procedures. I will only use Microsoft products on the server because, (a) I still like the server but will never invest in trusting Microsoft for ANY Client end software as they will betray you in the end; don't do it, you will lose to them if you trust them, (b) I have found a Gold Certified Microsoft provider who, in contrast to Microsoft, keeps their integrity intact. Use what Microsoft has to offer, but if you are to deploy anything that will be distributed on a client end -- I can ensure you that your efforts should consider the legal record of Microsoft that involves, Patent Theft (Stac Electronics), Bad-Faith hacking of licensed code (SUN Micrososystems), Bad-Faith Funding of anything that will pull down competitors (see Funding and Astroturf campaigns and research the SCO v IBM legal history). You've been forwarned; DO NOT TRUST MICROSOFT *EVER* on the Client side, or you will lose your intellectual property and your initiative if you can ever believe the constant truth that He who ignores History is bound to repeat the Mistakes of the past. -r Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is a lot written by Jesse Warden on Silverlight from his Flash/Flex perspective: http://jessewarden. http://jessewarden.com/category/silverlight com/category/silverlight Also, here is a list I compiled last summer after speaking with a Silverlight engineer.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Flex 3 Beta
We use Fluorine and NetConnection directly.. much smaller than using the mx
rpc classes and is more future proof since NetConnection is built into the
player and won't change whereas rpc classes don't even have source available
and have a history of breaking stuff in hotfixes with 3rd party AMF
implementations.
I don't think any of the proper wrappers of NetConnection provide data
reformatting for AMF--that's provided by the player. With Fluorine we
certainly don't see things coming back ugly or restructured. So perhaps the
better quest to ask is to show a dump of the data in PHP and then in AS3 and
ask for how to get it to what you want (stating what you want of course).

ah, that's the format the old Flash Recordset class used so it makes sense
that AMFPHP would use the same format. Fluorine provides support for both
that style and for ArrayCollection of Object instances which is more Flex
friendly. My suggestion would be to create a Recordset implementation and
use that as a wrapper. You can look at the Recordset.as file included with
Flash 8 remoting for hints on how it's done. I'm actually surprised nobody
else has solved his problem already for AMFPHP.

for( var i in result.serverInfo.initialData) {
var name:String = result.serverInfo.initialData[i][3];
var pid:String = result.serverInfo.initialData[i][0];
projectDP.addItem({name:name, pid:pid});
}
projects.labelField = name;
projects.dataProvider = projectDP;
}
The old phrase of If it ain't broke, don't fix it comes to mind when I see
whats being returned ala AMF3. Any suggestions you can make would be greatly
appreciated.
Cheers,
Kevin
[flexcoders] AMFPHP Flex 3 Beta
Hey all, I've seen all kinds of posts and suggestions from people online suggesting various ways to connect to an AMFPHP service, but I want to do it the *proper* way. I'm somewhat old school and have made connections with NetConnection, but the data that comes back from a MySQL result is ugly and has obviously been restructured. What's the best way and can someone provide an example of using this method in AS3? Thanks for your time, !k

And then there was silence. =] In case someone actually responds back, an answer about what's happening with credentials would be extremely helpful as well. !k _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Aebig Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 11:20 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Flex 3 Beta Hey all, I've seen all kinds of posts and suggestions from people online suggesting various ways to connect to an AMFPHP service, but I want to do it the *proper* way.

You need to post the classes you've included as I'm almost positive you're
missing a reference.

Subject: [flexcoders] Help with my first Flex App...
This has got to be a simple one. I am writing the tiny app given in
a video tutorial by Sho Kuwamoto. The tutorial is on displaying
flickr pictures in a basic tilelist control and is located here:
http://labs.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexbuilder2/tutorials/sho_kuwamoto
adobe.com/technologies/flexbuilder2/tutorials/sho_kuwamoto
/
I have identified these KEY points:
1. An HTTPService call, of which mine looks like this:
mx:HTTPService id=service
url=http://api.flickr. http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?
com/services/rest/?
method=flickr.photos.searchamp;api_key=f09abdbe2fada94609244a5de3f4b8
deamp;per_page=9amp;tags={input.text}/
2. I call the web request with a button click like so:
mx:Button x=262 y=18 label=Find id=button1
click=currentState='Results'; service.send()/
3. Finally, the data provider for the TileList control in the
tutorial is:
dataProvider={service.result.rsp.photos.photo}
However, while watching the video, as he types services. he gets
two options, result and resultFormat, however, I am only getting
an option for resultFormat? This is leading me to believe that
maybe the .result property has been removed??? And that is why my
application fails?
The end result is that I have this thing setup identical to the
tutorial but it just won't do anything on the results display. The
only thing that is different is that I went to Flickr and created my
own account and search feed at
http://www.flickr. http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/
com/services/api/explore/. (This is exactly the
method used to create a feed in the tutorial)
I have uploaded the project bin folder here:
http://brad. http://brad.melendy.com/code/flex/flickr/Flickr.html
melendy.com/code/flex/flickr/Flickr.html
I'd love to see this work and it looks so easy in the video (15
minutes!) but I've spent several hours on this now to no avail.
Thanks for any help out there
