Creating a Flex App With a PHP Server Connection

I'm attempting to create a new Flex application that has all of it's source data stored in a mysql database on my server provider (siteground) but am struggling to establish a connection from Flex.
Basically I click File>New>Flex Project and then name a new project with PHP as the application server type and click next.
Now comes the problem, I have no idea what to type into the "Root URL" option. I have set the "Web Root" simply to a folder that I've placed on my desktop (sitegroundtest) and Flex seems to recognise that fine but it's just the "Root URL" that I'm struggling with. What exactly would go in here if I want to work directly on the server as opposed to just my local machine (localhost)?
I'm struggling because I've basically never done this before as I've only ever developed PHP sites in Dreamweaver in which case the sites were all placed on a university server to which all addresses and urls were provided to us.
The domain name I've purchased is from siteground.com and is www.coolvisiontest.com. Would this have any effect on what needs to be entered into the root url or do I need to look elsewhere for it like within my server provider options or something along those lines?
It's something that I'm sure is very simple but I have no experience with and I really can't start without finding it out.

Yep I have used localhost before as I had wamp installed on my computer but I want to work directly from my server provider (siteground.com) where I have set up my mysql database in phpmyadmin, which contains all the sites product details. I know I can work locally using wamp but I want to try to connect to the server to make sure I actually can basically.
Basically I just can't find the root url I'd need to enter to access siteground via the php server connection and have no idea where to find this. Would you know?
I think I may also need the same address to access data from tables in the database using Flex's "Data>Create Application from database" connection option. Or would that require another?
I feel stupid asking this as I'm sure it's really simple but it's just something I've never done before except on my old University server, in which case all required urls for connection were supplied to us and I only ever done this through dreamweaver. Cheers for your help so far.

I have created a Flex App with out a Server now I need one

So I'm new to Flex and didn't think the project needed a
server at first (poor planning on my part) now I'll need one. I
have alot built and would like to just conevert the app if I can.
The project has been sourced in to Subversion, I would like not to
have to rebuild the repository.
Thanks for the help

OK, so I think what you're saying is that you have developed
locally, which is good, and are using java objects as your back end
solution - I'll just state that Java is the *only* method of data
transfer that I haven't used (I use ColdFusion, XML, WEb Services
mostly), so at some stage I may not be able to help you.
Still, lets see how far we get. So, you can deploy your SWF
file to any web server, and browse to it with your browser. The
output in the /bin directory will include the SWF (usually the name
of the project) and a html wrapper file.
Is the Flex app actually rendering (i.e., your containers)
before you get the error? (I'm trying to determine if the problem
is the data transfer or the flex app proper)??

Problems creating the Master Repository with MS SQL Server 2000

Hello guys!
I can't create the Master Repository with MS SQL Server 2000 database.
Wath is the correct adress in the URL?
I select the Driver: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver and the URL: *jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;SelectMethod=cursor[;<property>=<value>...]*

Hi Maurício,
For MS SQL Server the following drivers should avaliable in /drivers folder (http://www.inetsoftware.de/),
* msutil.jar
* mssqlserver.jar
* msbase.jar
JDBC Driver is:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

VIDEO: Creating Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1

Hi Everyone,
Colin Fleming of Adobe has created this great video on how to create Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1 (and later) and posted it to YouTube. Check it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_gvAoySuo

Thanks Bob, I'm getting there, it seems like I'm working my way through a jigsaw puzzle!
I get the Adoble ID for signing in, which is the valid email that I then use to sign in to folio builder and producer
such as [email protected], but for the Apple in-app purchasing they use a reverse domain structure one for the length the subscription will last, (in my case 1 year) so I use info.aq2.publication.annual and then the 2nd non-consumable I create a product ID for each publication ie info.aq2.publication.winter11. These later 2 reverse domains are what I've put in the viewer builder.
So what I'm not understanding yet is how I link an individual Apple ID to a folio in Folio producer
so sign in to folio producer, with [email protected]
do I use the Apple ID (reverse domain structure) in the folio name?
In Folio producer I will have all of my quarterly folio's
will it be
Folio Name                              Publication Name          Folio Number          Etc
info.aq2.publication.winter11          CM Review                        1
info.aq2.publication.spring12          CM Review                        2
You can teach old dogs new tricks, it just takes a while :-)

Hi Robert,
did you actually add the OVS to the server pool, that you created?

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for the guideline.
I entered an entry in the etc/service file on the m/c which is having SAP WAS 6.40 J2ee installed.(let say ip address 172.16.1.38)
for e.g.
sapmsSA1 3600/tcp
I restated the webAS server.
Then from SAP GUI when i am connecting to SAP R/3 backend system and checking the 'smlg' transaction.....i can see 3 Logon groups with the same name 'PUBLIC'.
Now i have created the BC Message server connection in SLD with this information.
caption - SA1 01
Message server IP = 172.16.1.242
port 3600
After that i specified this message server information to WD_MetaData connection in JCO content administrator.
When i tetsed this connection it gives me error as follow.

Flex App with remoting works on local Apache server - fails on production server

Hi Everyone,
I have a Flex app that uses Data Services. The application works correctly on my local Mac Server and Apache. When uploaded to my production CentOS server, the Data Services fail. When the app is done loading, the following error message comes up:
Class "ModelsService" does not exist: Plugin by name 'ModelsService' was not found in the registry; used paths:
: /www/html/mdubb//PHP2/bin-debug/services/
#0 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(550): Zend_Amf_Server->_dispatch('getAllModels', Array, 'ModelsService')
#1 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(626): Zend_Amf_Server->_handle(Object(Zend_Amf_Request_Http))
#2 /var/www/html/mdubb/PHP2/bin-debug/gateway.php(73): Zend_Amf_Server->handle()
#3 {main}
Where getAllModels is a method of my custom ModelsService.
I changed the Zend path in the amf_config.ini file so it references the correct directory. If I browse to gateway.php, it prompts to download the file, which I think is correct.
I added in the config file the path to the services folder.
I tried adding $server->addClass("ModelServices") in gateway.php, but it didn't like that.
The file structure on the production server is the same as the local server (I litterally uploaded everything in my local web root), so I can't think of what would be differenet between the two.
I have already pulled one all nighter trying to get this to run. Do you know what I should troubleshoot next?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

How to create a Flex3 project with remote ColdFusion server?

I have a question related to Flex 3 and ColdFusion that it might be simple to answer but I have been struggling with it for a while.
How to create a Flex application using Flex Builder 3 that uses ColdFusion, but the ColdFusion server is not installed locally but in a remote server?
I need to create a Flex application to use with ColdFusion and although this is a simple procedure when we are creating the project in a computer where you have ColdFusion installed locally (as all books shows examples of it), but what if the ColdFusion server is installed in another machine in the network?
My current situation is the following:
-          I have Flex Builder 3 install in my PC at work and its workspace is in a folder in the network outside of my PC.
-          We have a server (ISWEB1) partition in two drives; C, where the ColdFusion 8 is installed and D where all the files the developers work with reside. The ColdFusion installation runs in a server where IIS is used as the web server.
-          I have the drive D on the server ISWEB1 mapped to one of my letter drives and can access it easily
-          The drive C on the Server can only be accessed remotely (or through the web to access the ColdFusion admin page) and is not exposed to the network as drive D is.
My problem is, I need to create a Flex 3 application that uses ColdFusion using remote object access service (CF Flash Remoting) but I wanted to point to the installation version on the server ISWEB1 and not to the one installed locally. The Configure ColdFusion Server screen in the Flex Builder asked me for the location of ColdFusion root folder, Web root, and root URL. There is no way I can point to the server (ISWEB1)where ColdFusion is installed as those fields seem to required a address that points to a local install or a mapping on that local server.
The work around that could be used is to use the ColdFusion developers edition I have installed locally and use during the creation of the project in Flex Builder, but then I would have to have all the same data sources, mappings, and CFCs in my the local server in order to test, which seems double work. To aggravate that when you try to test the application Flex writes the files to the local server and unless you have everything available locally it would not work properly. I am trying to avoid duplicating the work. Ideally I would like to test the Flex application on the server where the CF is installed and where the Flex Builder workspace is.

Sort of. I found this article below that helped me to connect to the remote CF server using MXML. It seems that you have to create a regular project in Flex with Aplication Server Type set to None and connect to CF using the endpoint attribute of the RemoteObject MXML tag or via AS.
http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/200
However I found out after getting error using the AS3 code to use the endpoint property that
mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject does not support the "endpoint" property
whereas mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject does. See link below
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html
So I had to change my AS3 code by adding a new channel to my RemoteObject using a code similar to the one on the link below (Note that this code uses PHP, when I instantiate myRemoteObject, I do so informing that the destination is "ColdFusion" [new RemoteObject("ColdFusion")], so no need to set destination as in the code on the link below
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/120115
I hope that helps you.

Debug Multiple Flex Projects with shared PHP project

Hi ! I have a problem debugging Flex/PHP applications.
I have many Flex projects with a shared PHP project, so I need to set the the output folder to the Flex project's folder, not the PHP's project folder.
But it doesn't work, I mean the application works great, the PHP are executed fine, the AS3 code is debugged fine, but I can't debug PHP.
If I put the output folder to the PHP's project, then I can debug the PHP code too.
Please, can you tell me if it's possible to put the output folder to another folder than PHP's project???

Hi Steven,
Yes, I considered this option too.
But if someone creates in the database a column for a table that belongs to "Project A", when I publish "Project B" the generated script tries to remove the column since my copy of "Project A" on my solution is not the latest
version.
I think I'll just have to handle this. Like, organizing with people when and ho can publish to the databases.
Maybe the best practice is to developers use their own LocalDB while developping and only one person publish to database on the development server.

Configuring socket policy for flex apps(with blocked port 843)?

We have built several flex-based ecommerce apps for a fortune 500 customer of ours, that for various reasons, we need to use sockets to a different domain and requires a socket policy file, but were having trouble configuring our flex apps for deployment in thier enviornment where they are blocking virtually everything except port 80 . The current documentation in in regards to socket policy files and crossdomain files in a non-standard configuration not using port 843 is not providing any useful help to us.
Here is the scenario:
Flex apps are served from domain www.a.com in to users browsers via http. The apps then make socket connections to domain www.b.com:80 where there are php scripts serving json data to the flex apps via port 80 using http(we use sockets because we need to set and read back http headers). The problem is the flex apps cannot make socket connections to the www.b.com domain without errors like below(unless we setup a socket policy server on port 843 of www.b.com, in which case everything works):
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://www.b.com:80 (at 3 seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not cause any problems, but see http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files for an explanation.
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://www.b.com:80 by requestor from http://www.a.com/bin-debug/DownloadManagerFlex.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://www.b.com:80 by requestor from http://www.a.com.us/bin-debug/DownloadManagerFlex.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
Since we cannot use port 843 for the socket policy file server, we setup the socket policy server on a different ip in the same domain: spf.b.com:80 (using the sample perl code Adobe provides), and per the docs(cited below), use Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://spf.b.com:80") before we invoke "socket.connect", to supposedly tell the flash player to check there for the socket policy file. The problem, as you can see from the error log, is that the loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://spf.b.com:80") is ignored.
No matter what we do or how we set things up, we cannot get the flash player to recognize the loadPolicyFile(), it always wants to go to the port were making the socket connection on. It is unclear how to properly configure the flex app, socket policy file and crossdomain file for the above scenario. The docs allude to being able to serve the socket policy file from a different port 80 in the same domain as the socket connection were trying to make, but were having no luck with that.
->Can anyone shed some light on how to make this work or what are we missing/doing wrong? Also, if we can get this to work, are we stuck with a 3 second delay because this(very large) customer is blocking port 843?
As an aside, the documentation for all this is a bit scattered, unclear and contrdictory:
One document says:(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_07.html)
"This warning usually means one of two things: first, that you need to set up a
            socket policy file server on port 843, which is the first location that Flash
            Player checks by default; or second, that you need to provide more explicit
            guidance to Flash Player from ActionScript by calling loadPolicyFile to indicate the location
            of a socket policy file. When you call loadPolicyFile rather than allowing Flash Player to check
            locations by default, Flash Player will wait as long as necessary for a
            response from a socket policy file server, rather than timing out after 3
            seconds."
Another document says(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html):
"If an ActionScript Security.loadPolicyFile() command exists within               the SWF file, then the Flash Player runtime checks that location. Flash Player checks               the destination of the loadPolicyFile() only after it has checked the               master policy file on port 843 for permission to acknowledge other policy               files. If the developer has not specified a loadPolicyFile() command,               then Flash Player checks the destination port of the connection."

I found the reason why the Flex application was ignoring the socket policy (crossdomain.XML). I have a policy server that listens to port 843 and submits the policy to the Flex client. My policy was getting ignored by the Flex application and I was getting the sandbox security error you were getting. The solution to this problem isto write a null byte right after the policy server sends the policy. I'm using Apache Mina that is wrtten is Java and the null byte is written as follows:
public void sessionCreated (IoSession session)
        throws Exception
        session.write(_policy); -- > policy string
        session.write("\u0000"); --> null byte
         //session.close(true); ---> No need to close the session because it is closed by the Flex client after it receives the null byte.
Now my Flex application can read and accept the policy from port 843 and I'm not getting more security violations.
Thanks for your reply,
Alberto

Automating a flex app on a headless server

I have a flex chart drawing application that needs to be automated. When automated it will read in data from the DB, draw the charts, and save them as .png files. This works flawlessly on my localhost version of oc4j on my Mac. However it has never worked on our Solaris oc4j deployment which is a headless server. I've set flex to run as headless in the config files but no dice. How can I get this working? Here are some of the error messages I'm getting:
LINUX/UNIX browser attempting to launch /opt/sfw/bin/firefox http://flexdomain.yadayadyada
08/11/06 14:41:53

And here's a snippet from the Java which launches the flex app in the firefox browser:
String cmd = "/opt/sfw/bin/ff.sh "+ url; // ff.sh is a script which sets DISPLAY and launches firefox with the flex url
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
I'm using 10g, by the way.
Thanks!
Edited by: Solerous on Nov 7, 2008 7:04 AM

Ok, I'm convinced that this is some sort of configuration problem. I can get the browser to launch when written as a simple java program compiled at the command line:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Launcher {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
String url = "http://www.ebay.com";
String[] commands = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/opt/sfw/bin/firefox ", url, "-width", "1600", "-height", "1200", ":5"};
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(commands);
Map<String, String> env = pb.environment();
env.put( "DISPLAY", ":5" );
Iterator it = env.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pairs = (Map.Entry)it.next();
System.out.println("\t>> environ: "+pairs.getKey() + " = " + pairs.getValue());
Process process = pb.start();

Debug flex app loaded from remote server

Hi,
I'm developing a flex app which gets loaded from a remote
server and it connects using amf to that server and gets some data.
Now, I can't test from within the flex builder ide, as the URL will
be empty. When I test using IE/Firefox pointing to the remote
server URL where this debug.html is mounted, the swf asks for a
host ip/name where a flash/flex debugger runs. When I give
localhost/127.0.0.1, it fails and displays the dialog box again. Is
there a way to connect the swf from remote server to connect to a
debug console inside the FB2 ide?

Well, I ran all commands shipped with FB2and found out that
fdb does connect and allows to "continue". Still the in IDE
developing experience and quick turn around isn't there. Is there a
way to get the URL from which the swf was loaded from within the
swf, so that if its a remote server, I can get data from it, else
its in debug state, so I can get data from some hard coded
host.

I want to create an iPad app with multiple issues of the same magazine inside it

I want to create a digital magazine for iPad. I know with Digital Publishing Suite I can create apps for iPad.
But there is a problem. Is not clear in the website if with the Single Edition I can create an app that contains all issues of the magazine, or if I have to create a new app for each issue of the magazine that I want to publish.
Could you please get me out of doubt?
Please, I need a quick answer. Thanks in advance!

This should help:

Creating an iOS App with File Sharing Activated

From what I can decipher, the only way for a user to retrieve a document created by an iOS app is through iTunes, but only if the app has file sharing activated.
Is there a way to create an iOS app in Flash CS5.5 and make it a file sharing app?

I used the following code for sharing files to documents directory, and it works just fine. I am able to access the files copied by the app.
I made this app using Flash Builder. I will share another one using Flash Pro, soon.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Share File">
     <fx:Declarations>
          
     </fx:Declarations>
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               public function shareFile():void
                              var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("original.swf");
                    var dest:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("copy.swf");
                    file.copyTo(dest, true);
                    input.text = "File Written";
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     <s:TextArea id="input" x="216" y="89" width="336" height="59"/>
     <s:Button id="button" x="292" y="220" width="184" height="50" label="Share Data" click="shareFile()"/>
</s:View>
Can you please share the app/more details about the issue in the meanwhile?
