How do you protect the .swf files ?

Do you protect your flex files from being decompiled?
Is there any flex techiques for more security? What about HP SWFScan?
All opinions wellcome....

There are several different options... each with varying degrees of security, technical complexity, and cost. Entry level protection usually involves some kind of obfuscation which makes your code difficult to read / re-use - but not impossible. If this isn't enough you'll want to look into swf encryption... which raises the bar significantly. The last item worth mentioning is loading a swf from a protected source. You could also improve this last approach by loading your swf from _inside_ another swf. Here are some links to get your started.

Help!! How do you build the SWF files?

Hi, I since I am new to Flex & Flex Builder2, I have
tried to recreate an empty swf file, similar to the sample file
"EmptySwf.swf"
However, when I replace the default EmptySwf.swf with mine, I
keep getting: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot
convert flash.display::Sprite@fda2a81 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
Steps to reproduce:
i) I am using Flex Builder 2.0.143459
ii) in the mxml file created when choosing 'Flex Project', I
add the FAbridge information as instructed
<fab:FABridge xmlns:fab="bridge.*" />
(I have also tried using <bridge:FABridge
xmlns:bridge="bridge.*" id="bridgeInst" /> )
iii) Select BuildAll and then copy to the samples folder
(overwriting the original).
iv) The error occurs in the browser.
What gives?
The FA Bridge is supposed to be an easy 'learning curve' to
get into Flex.
This is quickly pushing me away!!!!!

Thanks for the prompt reply. Obviously you guys are watching
this forum keenly.
For those others that are new to Flex, I found that creating
an
ActionScript Project in Flex builder to be the way to create
a 'blank' swf file that works.
Note:
- you'll also need to add a library reference:
${FRAMEWORKS}\libs\framework.swc
- you'll still need to add the FABridge reference:
x:\somepath\\FABridge\src
Then, make your main actionscript file look like EmptySwf.as
as shipped with the samples.

HT3825 so how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant. I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder.
I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this.
I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest.
What does clicking Open rather than Done mean? Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

In digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat

in digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat as digital editions too hard to read.@@

On Mac, try looking in:
/Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.

How Can I protect my swf files from decompiling / saving

I have navigated through the internet for a long time now but
could not find the solution to my problem which is "how to protect
my swf file from decompiling/saving"?
I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a file
on the internet that cannot be saved or decompiled using any
software that I have come across (ie:SOTHINK decompiler, saveflash)
http://www.3dinternet.com/video.swf
Any help? any hints ?
Thanks

Hagop,

There is no way to protect your SWF from decompiling. Any
commercial
software on the market can be decompiled -- including the
Flash authoring
tool and Photoshop, for example -- which is why softare
generally ships with
an end user license agreement (EULA) that expects you to
agree not to
decompile or reverse engineer your purchase.
Most Flash content (other than RTMP requests for video, for
example) are
HTTP requests, which by nature means the content is
downloaded to your hard
drive, just like HTML documents, CSS files, JPGs, and GIFs.
Your browser
requests the files, downloads them to your hard drive, then
displays them
from your local copy.
> I know that it CAN BE DONE and here is an example of a

> any software that I have come across
What you've seen, then, is merely the result of software
that uses
unknown (to you or to your sofware) encryption/obfuscation
algorithms. Keep
trying, and you'll eventually nail it.
At best, you can use obfuscators to temporarily deter a
certain segment
of the decompiling-inclined population.

How do you update an .SWF file with Javascript

Hello - I have this Flash map that I've created. It uses
javascript calls from within Flash to swap out hidden DIVS when a
user clicks on a county. When the user clicks on the zip code
region of that map, a javascript triggers the check box.
What I need to do now is to have a way that when a user
unclicks the check box, the zip code region in the map will be
unhighlighted. Essentially, I need to have javascript tell a movie
clip within the .SWF file to goto a certain frame and stop.
I've never done this before, so I'm seeking someone's wisdom
on how to proceed with this.
For a visual on what I'm describing, the file can be viewed
here:
http://pixegen.com/sandbox/map.html

use the flash'es externalinterface class for two way
communication between js and actionscript.

How do you play a swf file from the desktop

I have created a swf file using flash. It can be downloaded
onto the desktop. It is zipped. When unzipped it is called
yadayada.swf. It does not get associated to the flash player or the
shockwave flash player which are both installed. So if i double
click on it it won't play.
What do I have to do to make it play from the desktop in its
plain swf file format. I want people to be able to download it onto
their desktop for both Mac and PC users. I published it as a
projector .exe file but mac users cant run it.
What should be my next step?
I have installed Flash on my development box so this isnt an
issue but it is for my test computer that doesnt have flash
installed.

HI
mm 2 things you can do.
1. Create a html page that loads this SWF file, This will
work on both OS's.
2. Create a Projector file for PC and HQX for the Mac. You
cannot have one
file todo both.
Hope this helps.

Using XML for Live Data- How do you get the XML file to pull data from another xls file?

Post Author: joseph_atkinson
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I was wondering you can help me.
I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.
I am aware of the xml mapping functionality where I can map from the *.swf straight to a database. However, is it possible to map to an xls file that will change on a daily basis? (obviously I can you the refresh button in Designer, but I need to automate this process).
Your help really would be appreciated.

In Firefox, I'm seeing a bad icon for your zip files. I can
download it,
but it looks like something might be amiss with your zip
files
themselves.

How do I get the SWF file to send a variable to HTML file

I am new to flash and trying to figure out how this is working. I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release)
    getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");
In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this :
                      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="627" height="400">
                        <param name="movie" value="flash/map.swf">
                        <param name="quality" value="high">

                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td align="left" valign="top"><IFRAME src="locations_info.html" name="location_content" width="627" height="190" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></IFRAME></td>
                      </tr>
                  </table>
                  </td>
snip from the locations_info.html file looks like:

    <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="687" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><p class="maintext12"> </p>

Can someone help me understand way when I run this from my system it should load and address information for the correct city from the locations_info.html file but it doesn't. Nothing shows up..
Jeanne

If all of the other getURL() directives in the movie use the same syntax for the named anchor link then that part should be OK. In the html document, locations_info, again, if all of the named anchors look like the one that you listed, then you may just need to clear your cache to get the new anchor to work.
The a name="XXX" anchor is being depricated in some browsers. You can use id="XXX", or both, instead. Although if one works, they should all work.

How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow of my idvd project?

I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open. How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

TS3694 how do you update the firmware file on the iphone 4? says it wont update because firmware is not compatible

iphone update is saying firmware is not compatible, anybody know how to update firmware

Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
"Release Notes
1.Please install the Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.

How could you open, download .swf file on ipad?

I 'd like to open a swf. file on ipad? How can I do?
Do I download an app? Which ones?
My file is a interactive magazine!!
Thanks
PS: I'm french, so please could you explain me in cool english!

If you can convert a .swf file to PDF, you would be able to open it in iBooks.
Apparently those converters do exist.
Google or similar are your friends.
Was that English cool enough for you?

JSP and XSL Processor - How do you send the processed file to a JSPWriter?

The hierarchy for the relevant I/O classes is:
Object---OutputStream
Object---Writer---PrintWriter
Object---Writer---JspWriter
For the processed file from the Oracle XSLProcessor, typically HTML, the XSLProcessor API v2.0.2.9 offers either 'OutputStream' or 'PrintWriter' as targets.
Unfortunately, a 'PrintWriter' cannot be used as a 'JspWriter'.
I realise that I can call
HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream()/getWriter() but there may be problems using this with the 'out' object.
According to the JSP documentation: 'Either getOutputStream() or getWriter() may be called to write the body, not both.'
The XSLProcessor API does offer an 'XMLDocumentFragment' as another target so I can make an XML document from this but looking at the API for 'XMLDocument', this again only offers 'OutputStream', 'PrintDriver' or 'PrintWriter' as targets.
Not sure if 'PrintDriver' helps.
How do I send the output from the 'XSLProcessor' to a 'JspWriter'?
Why does the API not offer a 'Writer' as a target?
Polite observation - this would be consistent with the 'OutputStream' being offered and, if changed, would not break any existing code.
null

You can also use a PrintWriter to wrap a JspWriter
since PrintWriter has a constructor that takes any
Writer instance.I'm having the same problem, I've spent a lot of time
on it but I can't get it work.
Could you post some working code that shows how you
can do it?
Thanks.
It works now, I have used the code:
result = processor.processXSL(stylesheet, xml);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
result.print(pw);
I had tried this before but there was an error in other place that prevented it to work.
Thank you anyway.

How do you set the default file manager in kde?

I'd like to set dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, how would I go about doing that? I have an installed working copy of dolphin on my comp right now.

pressh wrote:

kde components -> file associations -> inode -> directory
Thanks, but for some reason when I go in there and change it as a user, it doesn't save the setting, and it doesn't work. However, when I do the same thing as root it works, but of course, it only works for root then.

Dolphin is a little bit less cluttered, and seems to be faster too. Most of the features in konquerer I never use.
