Flash :: Serverside Scripting

[AS2] Pageview Counter, Possible With No Serverside Scripting?
Okay, I am on a LAN folder with a web address as my server. No serverside scripting is on, and it does not look like I am going to get any in the near future.

I would like to do some usage tracking with flash. Things like how many times a certain button is pushed.

My users are all on the same intranet, is there any way I could increment a value in a file on a shared LAN folder or something?

EPS To SWF Serverside
I'd like to have someone upload an .eps graphic to an .swf so they can edit it. Since loadMovie() can't load .eps files I'm wondering if there is a way I can convert the .eps to an .swf serverside before I use loadMovie() to bring it in the flash player. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Serverside Buffering ?
Hello Forum Members,

We have a problem with LiveStreaming and Lost Packages.

In our company we broadcast live streaming events in wmedia and also in flash.

For that we use a router which connects via ISDN to our fms2 platform.
We use ISDN Channels because of the need of a safe connection without net fluctuations and a good upload.
(wmedia 500k and flash 500k = 1Mbit/s upload)
So we use for one ISDN Wire both B Channels = 128kbit/s and overall 12 ISDN Wires = 1536kbit/s for both streams (a little bit more as needed for the overhead).
Wmedia works fine but flash makes problems - many frame drops / image freeze / bucking.

We think the problem is the connection to the fms over many different channels so that some packages of the one channel arrives the fms earlier than another - and so the fms dosen't get the stream in linear way.

The fms pushes the stream to the client - the client has the possibility to buffer the stream (setBufferTime()) but when the fms sends a faulty stream - the flashplayer buffers also this one.

Does anyone know if there is a possibilty to buffer the stream on the server before sending it to the clients.

Or is our approch wrong and there is another way to solve this problem.

Many thanx to All.
Daniel

FMS Serverside Script
Hello,
is there a way in the main.asc to get the full rtmp address in the onConnect method ? The client.uri property just gives the application address (i.E. rtmp://www.server.com/applicationname) I need to get the path to the video file requested (like rtmp://www.server.com/applicationname/path/file.flv).
Thanks for your help !

Hao Can I Maake A Flash Run From A Serverside Only
Hi, i have the next problem... and excuse my ignorance
I want to make a flash animation that can be executed only from one PC and only one (a server for example... well, in fact FROM a server) The information is shared by the people at the company BUT the admins don't wnt anybody to copy these animations and redistribute its content.

What they whant is that somehow the Flash doesn't work is it runs from another computer (in case they can copy the flash) so we think "Maybe with the MAC Adress or the HDD serial number" but we really don't know how to read this info from flash.

May someone elight us with any solution or if these info can be read from flash, how is it done?

Protect Serverside Script
Hello there!
I am very new to fms2, so there is one question, that neither Google nor

Is there any possibility to "encrypt" the server-side as-files ?

I am working on a multiplayer game, and have to publish the content to a fms2-server of a friend of mine. But I don't want him to be able to read the content. Is there some software, like Amayeta's out there, which could encrypt it?

Sory for my bad english

Insert PNG Into SWF / PNG To SWF Conversion Serverside
Hi all....

I want to hear peoples opinions and experience with Inserting a PNG into SWF or PNG conversion to SWF

There seems to be some major disparities on what people think about the methodology and even possibility of this on a unix system, serverside.

I have put many many hours googling this, and have found much conflicting info... I am still not convinced this is impossible....

Ming somehow requires you to convert pngs to the dbl format before it can do a server side conversion...
Except.... there are no server side functions to do this!!

Flash can't dynamically load pngs... what a stupid omission...

I have seen this (png inserted into swf) being done, however...

on http://charas-project.net

after you create your character, you can view a flash preview...

this is where they do it... i think... i have asked them on their forums.. but no answer as of yet...
great site btw...

Look forward to hearing your guys responses!

Load Text Or Xml Without Serverside Scripts
Hi there.

I know there has been a lot covered on this subject, but for the purposes of my project, I am still trying to find a suitable solution.

I am creating a project that displays information in flash, loaded in by either a text file or xml file (depending on the solution?). Loading the data is fine, but I also want to create an XML editor so that other people can edit the content easily (this would have to be a custom editor, not by using other xml editing software).

Actually saving a text file or xml file requires a server-side script. The only other option I've come across is using shared objects (but this saves a file in a specific place on any user's system, I want the file to be saved in the same folder as my flash file).

Are there any ideas out there as to what else I could do?

Thanks!

Desktop Application + Serverside Content
I'm going to start developing a simple Flash application which will then be exported as an *.exe file and used on desktop. The application gets the information from a MySQL database (+ PHP on server).

i just wanted to get suggestions on ways how this can be done and preferably which make the application work fast.

For websites I normally use loadVariables which links to a PHP file on the server, performs query on the database, stores contents into a variable and then forwards the variable back to the SWF file... which in turn displays it
Is this a good system for a desktop application?

I was thinking maybe there's a way to sort of "synchronize content"...
on first launch of application it looks for server and gets all info, and somehow saves it (??)... then on subsequent launches the application just looks to see if there's any new content on server and downloads just that info... this would make for a faster approach... but i have no clue how to save information on the user's machine.

any ideas are appreciated and maybe links to tutorials!
thanks.

Dynamically Created SWFs On Serverside
Hello,

does anybody know (free) libraries to create SWF files on the serverside, for example as Ming does for PHP/Pyton...?

I'm looking for a solution to create a Flash 8 SWF, since Ming only supports Flash v4 it is not my first choice for sure :)

Thanx for your help.

@Todd: If you think this question is too close to "other than flash" just move it to my forum :)

"Flash And XML" Using Serverside XML
I am trying to make something very similiar to the "Flash and XML" video tutorial ([url]http://www.gotoandlearn.com/player.php?id=22[/url]). The only difference is using a server-side XML in PHP 5.

Any ideas?

I'm trying to select data from mySQL database where a "Type" is equal to a "Value" (which the value is a cookie) - it selects all the data with the type equal to that value and makes the XML... and I have not been able to get this to work - so I think a server-side XML might work better.

I've spent a couple of days trying to make this work. The XML currently works and selects the right items from my database but the swf is not reading this XML.

Flash 5 Scripting Vs MX Scripting
ok, I have this script on a movieclip called g_loader:

onClipEvent(load) {
loadMovie("contact.swf",this);
}

onClipEvent(data) {
trace(this.getBytesTotal())
}

this is how it would be written in flash 5, and it worked fine.

I tried to write the same thing using MX syntax:

g_loader.onLoad = function() {
loadMovie("contact.swf",g_loader);
}

g_loader.onData = function() {
trace(g_loader.getBytesTotal())
}

And it WILL NOT WORK!! Am I going insane? Why won't this work!!!????

I'm working on a digital cv that has a pixelized version
of my face on it. As you roll over a series of button's the
relevant section of the face stretches out and will ultimately reveal a part of my cv.

The problem i'm having seem's to be with the way i've ordered or positioned the script. The script works if you roll over the buttons seperatly, but if you roll over all the buttons at once you don't get the desired effect of growing and shrinking. The script seem's to get confused or conflict with itself.

If anyone has a minute to help and look at my fla I could e-mail it to you and would be very grateful as it's almost there and is doing my head in.

I want to have something similar to the old 2advanced site what I'm trying to achieve is when a button is clicked I want a external swf to load in to main movie clip but while its loading I want these two doors to come in over whats loading behind the doors and stay there until the external movie is done loading. When the movie is loaded I want the doors to then open again! This is my code on the button.
on (release) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("open");
loadMovie ("members.swf", "membersload");
_root.introclip.membersload._x = -325;
_root.introclip.membersload._y = -179;
_root.introclip.membersload._yscale = 86;
loaded = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesTotal();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("closed");
} else if (loaded < total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndStop("closed");
}
}
if anyone could help it would be great!

Scripting Help?
Hello Board_

I am loading an SWF into another using the following action script :
________________________________

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Tree.swf", 200);
}
________________________________

I guess that to most, I'm being rather redundant in saying that this script loads "Tree.swf" to level 200 of my main movie.
The SWF loads in the Upper Left corner of my main movie.
How can I make it load to a position 150 pixels down from there?
I am not planning on changing the X-axis coordinates.
Any help would be great.
