Flash and CF variables

Hello everyone. I am pulling an xml file into a flash file
but I want to take it a step further and make the path to the xml
file dynamic. Can I do that with cfml and flash? I want to say
slides_xml.load("#current_user#_comments.xml");
Can I do that?

Hi,
You're not rambling at all. Sorry if my previous post was not
altogether clear. I believe I understand what you are trying to do
and FlashVars is your answer.
In your ActionScript, you would do this:
// first setup the dynamically generated user
var thisUser:String = user;
var thisUserXML:String = "
http://www.mysite.com/slideshow/"
+ thisUser + "_slides.xml";
// now, call/load your XML document
slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.load(thisUserXML);
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
In your HTML/CFML page, you need to send the required user
information to the Flash file. This is where FlashVars comes in
handy.
Naturally, I do not know how you determine what "user" is on
the site so that you can show the respective slides but, for now,
I'll pretend it comes from a cookie.

<cfparam name="user" default="craig" type="string"/>
<cfif IsDefined("cookie.user")>
<cfset user = Trim(cookie.user)/>
</cfif>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Slideshow</title>
</head>
<body>

<cfoutput>
<object>
<param name="FlashVars" value="thisUser=#user#"/>
<embed flashvars="thisUser=#user#"/>
</object>
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
The CFML/HTML page passes in a user value (in this example,
the string craig) to the SWF file. The ActionScript statements at
the top of my reply would first set the string variable thisUser to
have a value of "craig". Then, we build the custom XML path
(thisUserXML), which would be
http://www.mysite.com/slideshow/craig_slides.xml.
Finally, the ActionScript code would load the data from this
custom URL and call your startSlideShow function when complete.
Hope this helps,
Craig

Javacard and session variables

Hello,
I'm trying to find a reasonable Javacard technique to handle "session variables" that must be kept between successive APDUs, but must be re-initialized on each card reset (and/or each time the application is selected); e.g. currently selected file, currently selected record, current session key, has the user PIN been verified...
Such variables are best held in RAM, since changing permanent (EEPROM or Flash) variables is so slow (and in the long run limiting the operational life of the card).
Examples in the Java Card Kit 2.2.2 (e.g. JavaPurseCrypto.java) manipulate session variables in the following way:
1) The programmers group session variables of basic type (Short, Byte, Boolean) according to type, and map each such variable at an explicit index of a vector (one per basic type used as session variable).
2) At install() time, each such vector, and each vector session variable, is explicitly allocated as a transient object, and this object is stored in a field of the application (in permanent memory), where it remains across resets.
3) Each use of a session variable of basic type is explicitly translated by the programmer into using the appropriately numbered element of the appropriate vector.
4) Vector session variables require no further syntactic juggling, but eat up an object descriptor worth of permanent data memory (EEPROM or Flash), and a function call + object affectation worth of applet-storage memory (EEPROM, Flash or ROM).
The preparatory phase goes:
public class MyApp extends Applet {
// transientShorts array indices
    final static byte      TN_IX = 0;
    final static byte      NEW_BALANCE_IX=(byte)TN_IX+1;
    final static byte      CURRENT_BALANCE_IX=(byte)NEW_BALANCE_IX+1;
    final static byte      AMOUNT_IX=(byte)CURRENT_BALANCE_IX+1;
    final static byte   TRANSACTION_TYPE_IX=(byte)AMOUNT_IX+1;
    final static byte     SELECTED_FILE_IX=(byte)TRANSACTION_TYPE_IX+1;
    final static byte   NUM_TRANSIENT_SHORTS=(byte)SELECTED_FILE_IX+1;
// transientBools array indices
    final static byte      TRANSACTION_INITIALIZED=0;
    final static byte      UPDATE_INITIALIZED=(byte)TRANSACTION_INITIALIZED+1;
    final static byte   NUM_TRANSIENT_BOOLS=(byte)UPDATE_INITIALIZED+1;
// remanent variables holding reference for transient variables
    private short[]     transientShorts;
    private boolean[]   transientBools;
    private byte[]      CAD_ID_array;
    private byte[]      byteArray8; // Signature work array
// install method
    public static void install( byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength ) {
         //Create transient objects.
        transientShorts = JCSystem.makeTransientShortArray( NUM_TRANSIENT_SHORTS,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        transientBools = JCSystem.makeTransientBooleanArray( NUM_TRANSIENT_BOOLS,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        CAD_ID_array = JCSystem.makeTransientByteArray( (short)4,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        byteArray8 = JCSystem.makeTransientByteArray( (short)8,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
(..)and when it's time for usage, things go:
    if (transientShorts[SELECTED_FILE_IX] == (short)0)
        transientShorts[SELECTED_FILE_IX] == fid;
    transientBools[UPDATE_INITIALIZED] =
        sig.verify(MAC_buffer, (short)0, (short)10,
            byteArray8, START, SIGNATURE_LENGTH);I find this
a) Verbose and complex.
b) Error-prone: there is nothing to prevent the accidental use of transientShorts[UPDATE_INITIALIZED].
c) Wastefull of memory: each use of a basic-type state variable wastes some code; each vector state variable wastes an object-descriptor worth of permanent data memory, and code for its allocation.
d) Slow at runtime: each use of a "session variable", especially of a basic type, goes thru method invocation(s) which end up painfully slow (at least on some cards), to the point that for repeated uses, one often attain a nice speedup by caching a session variable, and/or transientShorts and the like, into local variables.
As an aside, I don't get if the true allocation of RAM occurs at install time (implying non-selected applications eat up RAM), or at application selection (implying hidden extra overhead).
I dream of an equivalent for the C idiom "struct of state variables". Are these issues discussed, in a Sun manual, or elsewhere? Is there a better way?
Other desperate questions: does a C compiler that output Javacard bytecode make sense/exists? Or a usable Javacard bytecode assembler?
Francois Grieu

Interesting post.
I don't have a solution to your problem, but caching the session variables arrays in local variable arrays is a good start. This should be only done when the applet is in context, e.g. selected or accessed through the shareable interface. This values should be written back to EEPROM at e.g. deselect or some other important point of time. Do you run into problems if a tear happens? I don't think so since the session variables should be transactional, and a defined point will commit a transaction.
Analyzing the bytecode is a good idea. I know of a view in JCOP Tools (Eclipse plugin) where you can analyze the bytecode and optimize it to your needs.

Write to and read from TCP/IP address using Flash and Actionscript

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie with flash and Actionscript. I have been programming for a number of years now, but I have only been messing around with flash since CS4. I have CS5 now, and need a bit of help. I have a wireless device that I have made, I wish to make a flash program (potentially adapted to iPhone or Android) that sends and receives data (in the form of Word or Byte sized variables) from an IP address assigned to the device. Is this achievable?
Please help. Thank you

Flash and PHP

Hi, let's say I have a dynamic text field (variable name is "txt") that I wanted to read from a PHP file and output the contents from there.
My AS code is:
var myPHP:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myPHP.load("variables.php"); //my php file
myPHP.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
          if (success) {
                    txt= myPHP.msg; //displaying contents from php
PHP code in variables.php:
<?php
// Define Variables
$msg = ($_GET['msg']);
// Send it to Flash
echo "msg=$msg";
?>
If I key in the url as follows and send something to the msg:
variables.php?msg=Hello
It will echo "msg=Hello", but the text field inside flash turns out to be empty, not undefined or anything. If however I hardcode the php file with:
$msg = "Hello";
It will still echo "msg=Hello" but the flash file will display the text accordingly.
Can anyone tell me why? Thanks!

if you want to read data, you'll use the load part of sendAndLoad. and, if you're not sending any data, you'll need to hardcord your variables. how else will you php assign variable values?
but i'm pretty sure you want to be able to do both send variables and receive variables.
so, use:
var sendLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
sendLV.send_msg="some message";
sendLV.sendAndLoad("variables.php",receiveLV,"POST"); //my php file
receiveLV.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
          if (success) {
                    txt= this.return_msg; //displaying contents from php
<?php
// Define Variables
$msg = ($_POST['send_msg']);
// Send it to Flash
echo "return_msg=$msg";
?>

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Loading External SWF and setting variables

Hello Everyone.
I'm sure you are all a where of the FlashVars attribute for
Flash embeds which holds variables for SWF's when they are
rendered. I'm attempting to load an External SWF dynamically
from within my own SWF and need to provide it with the values
normally stored in the FlashVars. For the example below I
wait until the External SWF is completely loaded using the
onLoadInit event from moviecliploader and then i attempt to
set the required variables that the loaded SWF needs. This works
great in test and debug mode (ie. Test Movie and Debug Movie
from the Control menu), but when i publish my FLA to SWF and run
the SWF the variables will NOT get set in the loaded External SWF.
From my readings ive people have mentioned that the player is only
able to access Methods of an External SWF. If this is the case then
how do they expect people to set the FlashVars of dynamically
loaded SWFs? I investigated the loadVariables procedure as well and
had the same results in test mode and was wasn't reliable because
of timing issues.
The sample source is below... if anyone has any ideas or has
come across this issue before, I would really appreciate some
insight.
Thank you in advance for your time.
var loader_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
loader_mc.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number) {
// DO NOTHING
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// DO NOTHING
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// WORKS IN TEST MODE NOT IN PUBLISH/SWF MODE
target_mc._root.param1 = "value1";
// WORKS IN TEST MODE NOT IN PUBLISH/SWF MODE
_level0.container_mc.param1 = "value1";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._lockroot = true;
loader_mc.loadClip("somecoolflash.swf", container_mc);

I've tried that as well and it behaves the same as onLoadInit
... Works when i test but doesnt when i publish to a swf. I think
this is security related and the flash player just cant write to a
loaded swf and set variables.

My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

Adobe 'fixes' for Flash and Dreamweaver

According to what I've been reading, Adobe added fixes to
Dreamweaver 8.02 to deal with the Active Content problem created by
Microsoft when Flash animations are embedded in web pages. Since I
have an earlier version of Dreamweaver and Flash and am having
problems like everyone else with that issue, would some 8.02 user
kindly inform me if this is indeed the case, and what does one do
in the new version to ensure Flash active content runs as intended?
Is it something that one must still manually add to the code in an
.html file, is the correction added automatically, is there an icon
to press....just how is the new feature/fix used and incorporated?
I'd like to know before considering an update. Thank
you..............frank

http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
Basically after you update if you add a flash file you get
this code added to the html file:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and that folder (Scripts) and (fileAC_RunActiveContent.js)
are automatically created with your project. When you import a swf
file the code that is automatically generated is also updated with
a snippet of code to fix the AC issue:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','404','height','368','src','~movies','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macrom edia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','~movies'
); //end AC code
</script><noscript>
You dont really have to do anything other then remember to
upload the scripts folder to your server when you publish.

Flash and Fireworks combination

Macromedia MX: I am working on an image in Fireworks and
would like to incorporate a flash movie into this image so that I
can put it into Dreamweaver for my website. A quick example of the
image is a square inside a square (kinda like a TV set). Is there a
way to layer the Flash movie into the Fireworks image so that the
Flash movie plays inside the inner square but is not visible on the
outer square? (since it would overlap somewhat) Would I import the
image from Fireworks to Flash and work on it there, or import the
Fireworks image into Dreamweaver and insert the Flash movie there?
I am not sure how to go about this task. Thanks for any
suggestions.

P-C-Surgeonz;
You can't "layer"a flash swf into an image, but you can
"insert" the
image and flash into your html separately using
dreamweaver--but IMO
importing the png fireworks png into flash, and just
embedding the flash is
easier. -Tom Unger

Bios Flashing and Recovery

BIOS FLASHING
We do not recommend using the MSI LiveUpdate tool to update your BIOS! It may be okay for updating your drivers, but please do not use it to flash the BIOS in Windows!
Windows-based flashing - If you REALLY insist on flashing the BIOS under Windows, if you encounter any error during flashing, whatever you do, DON'T restart your PC! Try again until the flash is successful, otherwise your board will not start! Disable any anti-virus program (along with any other programs) prior to flashing.
Boards with built-in M-Flash function - While M-Flash work's properly most of the time, it has still proved to be less reliable than the forum tool / manual flash.
Before flashing your BIOS, you must ensure your system is fully stable! Any instabilities can cause a bad flash and create an expensive paper weight. Included with the forum flash tool is MEMTEST, we recommend running this for 2 or more passes prior to a flash.
If you do not understand what your BIOS is, or what it does, please read: >> BIOS. What it is, and all you need to know <<
Our first choice we recommend you use is our own USB flashing tool, developed by Svet.
It is important to note, that the only way to flash the ME extension of the BIOS of modern Intel boards is through the use special processes. The bios versions posted by moderators here: >>BIOSes<< include the additional files to accomplish this. These bios are all official and are directly from MSI.
>>>MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool<<<
If you are unable to use the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flashing Tool
>>How to create a dos bootable USB stick>>
It is important to note that if any BIOS, EC FIRMWARE or any other type of FIRMWARE downloaded from MSI for a manual flash contains an BAT file it must be used. Not doing so will cause the flash to fail and require RMA.
For Intel Users, flash via FPT
Socket LGA 1150 : >>ME 9 FPT files & Instruction>>
Many of the bios versions posted here: >>BIOSes<< Contain a .bat file. All you need to do is extract all of the contents of the archive into the root directory of a DOS bootable USB stick and run the bat file from pure DOS.
Socket LGA 1155 & 2011: >>ME 7&8 FPT Files and instruction<<
Linux users
See this topic: >>Flash your BIOS, the Linux way! [beware the dangers!!]<<
Modified and BETA BIOSes
Use only at your own risk! All BETA BIOS versions posted by the moderators of this forum are directly from MSI and will not effect your warranty.The use of user modified BIOS versions may damage the board and may void your warranty. Exercise extreme caution in regards to user posted BIOS versions. Please also be aware that MSI and this forum can not be held responsible if you trash your mobo by using a modded, beta or otherwise incorrect BIOS.
WHEN IT ALL GOES WRONG...
BIOS RECOVERY
In many cases, provided the 'bootblock' of your BIOS is not corrupted during a bad flash, the BIOS can often be recovered by following the recovery procedures detailed below. NOTE: this recovery method should not be followed for normal practice of updating your BIOS!
For Modern MSI Systems, refer to:
<<Multi-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
<<Single-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
Legacy Systems:
For Award BIOS
Make a bootable floppy disk*
Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk
Create an autoexec.bat with "Award_Flash_Utility BiosFilename" in the content (e.g. awdfl823K w6378vms.130)
Sample on how to create an autoexec:
a. On Windows, open the notepad
b. On the notepad, write "awdfl823K w6378vms.130" (without the " ")**
c. Save the file as autoexec.bat
Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)
Re-flash the BIOS & reboot.
*Need a bootable floppy disk? Look here: http://www.bootdisk.com
**Make sure you enter the correct filenames for your flasher program and BIOS ROM file!
For AMI BIOS
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
For new boards with AMI BIOS core 8 (4MB)
Discovered by Jack The Newbie:
Of course, the steps are similar to the standard AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure for internal floppy drives (rename corresponding BIOS File to AMIBOOT.ROM, hit CTRL + HOME after starting the system).
What has to be done (tested on P45 Platinum):
1. An optical SATA Drive needs to be connected to one of the Intel ICH10R SATA ports. {After a lot of testing, I found that it does not work with the same optical drive connected to the SATA Ports hosted by the secondary JMicron Controller. Also, using an optical drive on the JMicron IDE/PATA port does not help either.}
2. A proper BIOS File has to be renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and burned on an empty CD.
3. CMOS-Clear with main A/C power cable removed from PSU has to be performed. {If this step is not done, the system will reboot after pressing CTRL + Home and will not proceed with recovery procedure.}
4. Press CTRL + Home to trigger BIOS Recovery. -> The system should enter BIOS Recovery Routine. {Will basically work with both USB & PS/2 keyboard. However, a PS/2 Keyboard is recommended as the system will respond earlier to PS/2 Keyboard than to USB Devices.}
What should happen now:
1. After pressing CTRL + HOME the LED Status should change to "Intializing Hard Disk Controller" and there should be access to the optical drive connected to the Intel ICH10R SATA ports.
2. It can take up to 30+ seconds until the BIOS File that was renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM is found. {Drive Bay can be opened to try a different CD without turning off or restarting the system.}
3. When the system finds the BIOS File, LED Status will change to "Testing RTC" and there should be a message on the screen indicating that the Flash Recovery Procedure has started.
4. Since the BIOS File is 4MB in size, it will take a while until the BIOS is actually reflashed.
Its also possible that BIOS recovery on boards with AMIBIOS8 can be done using a FAT-formatted USB stick, containing the renamed BIOS file. Be warned, in some circumstances it may take several moments before recovery procedure actually begins. See Bas' reply below for further information.
BIOS recovery on Wind netbooks
See this post here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=130509.msg982711#msg982711
BIOS recovery on non-UEFI notebooks
In order to recovery this type of system you will need an FAT32 formatted USB stick.
Download the applicable bios from MSI's website and rename this bios.
It must be re-named to either AMIBOOT.ROM or xxxxIMS.ROM / xxxxAMS.ROM You may need to try each way to determine which one is necessary.
Then place the renamed bios onto the root directory of the FAT32 formatted USB stick.
Now you are ready to cover the Notebook.
To do this, remove the AC power cord and battery. Once that has been completed, install the USB stick you prepared earlier.
Now, apply AC power (leaving the battery disconnected) and turn on the notebook. Recovery should begin after 5 minutes.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS...
Locate the BIOS chip on your mainboard. If it is soldered directly to the PCB like...
...then you have no choice but to return the board to your supplier, or to MSI, for replacement.
To request an RMA from MSI, open a support ticket at https://register.msi.com/ocss/
If your BIOS chip is in a socket, like...
...then you may be able to source a replacement BIOS chip, either from MSI, or from a website such as www.badflash.com
Updated 11/21/2013, original post by Stu

A.) Download >>this<< bios archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< .
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB from working bios B.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to bios A without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash bios A with desired version

Trying to pass and object variable to a method

I have yet another question. I'm trying to display my output in succession using a next button. The button works and I get what I want using test results, however what I really want to do is pass it a variable instead of using a set number.
I want to be able to pass the object variables myProduct, myOfficeSupplies, and maxNumber to method actionPerformed so they can be in-turn passed to the displayResults method which is called in the actionPerformed method. Since there is no direct call to actionPerformed because it is called within one of the built in methods, I can't tell it to receive and pass those variables. Is there a way to do it without having to pass them through the built-in methods?

Of course it's highly likely that enough information was imparted for any sincere, reasonably intelligent student to actually figure it out, and learn the subject in the process.
And if everything were spoonfed, how would one grade the performance of the students? Have them recite from memory

Use of Return and Notify_url variables offered by PayPal

I have been integrating PayPal into my application (ASP NET MVC) where I made some analysis about PayPal (went through their documentation about the integration). Created a PayPal sandbox account and can transfer the amount.What I want to know is about the `return` and `notify_url` variables. I have enabled `auto return` in my account and also enabled `PDT`. My form variable is like this:<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://localhost:xxx/xx/Notify">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://localhost:xx/xx/Return">As I have surfed in net, what they state about `Return` and `notify_url` is:> The "return" URL to which PayPal redirects buyers’ browser after they complete their payments. For example, specify a URL on your site that displays a “Thank you for your payment” page. Default is nothing is specified – PayPal redirects the browser to a PayPal webpage. Note, you must have "Auto Return" enabled in your Account Profile settings in order for this variable to work.
>PayPal returns data back to your site via what they call IPN. Its really just a callback to a URL you specify. You can set this URL via the variable `notify_url` you can send to PayPal.From the above quotes what I understand is that PayPal will post `IPN` variables to `notify action` once the payment done before auto redirecting to the page I set (I mean customer may go the application page or they may close the session).But only return action alone hitting not the `Notify_url`.Correct me if I misunderstood the concept and let me know if it was still Unclear.

Yes, it's not present in the code I have posted but I have tried this as well.
It didn't work, as expected, because soap/axis is on top of http and not https and because my proxy uses http as well (or at least that's what I have learned so far).
In fact, I have tried all combinations between http.\*, https.\*, and Authenticator without success.
I think the problem is more soap/axis related. The solution for axis2 seems somewhat 'trivial' (and well explained over the web) while it's not for axis1.

How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

hi,
i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
**The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.
