Is This a CS4 Flash Remoting Bug?

I think I have discovered a bug, but am looking for others to comment and maybe somebody knows of somebody else that has experience with this issue.
I have a very large flash app I am working on for a multi-user RPG game, it relies heavily on flash remoting via AMFPHP so that flash clients logged into the game may communicate with each other and the main game server which handles database storage, the game heartbeat functions,etc.
I have been developing the app on Flash CS4 for Windows and never have had any trouble, it works fine in the IDE environment when testing the movie and the published version works fine as well.
Now I have a Mac version of CS4 and I am getting some crazy problems running the app in Test Movie mode in the IDE.
After I start the app in Test Movie mode and run it for a few seconds all flash remoting stops working, the game continues to run and no error messages are generated but all of the NetConnection calls do no do anything, they do not connect, they generate no errors. Ok, thats strange enough but now, if I kill the Test Movie and rerun it via Test Movie no NetConnection calls are made and the initial .connect call does not go through, I have watched the server logs on the other end and no attempts to reach the gateway.php are made. This continues until I unload all of the .fla and .as files associated with the project and then reload them, and then it starts again, works the first time for 5 seconds or so and then all NetConnections stop completely.
So to summarize what I think is a bug specifically for the Mac platform of Flash CS4 Professional:
1. Projects works fine in Flash CS4 for Windows
2. In Flash CS4 for Mac, the project runs for about 5 seconds in Test Movie Mode and then all NetConnection activity stops
3. No errors are generated for the NetConnection
4. Continues to fail even restarting the project until I close the files and re-open them in the IDE
Sounds like a bug, does anybody know of others with this problem, or does anyone have anything I can try?
Thanks,
Andy

The application doesn't hang but the TextBlock ends up on top the Button when you set its Text property. That's why you cannot click on the Button.
If you set the Text property of the TextBlock in the XAML markup you won't be able to click the Button when you run the app because of the same reason:
<TextBlock x:Name="OutputMsg" Text="sample text"
Margin="0,200,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="18" />
The solution is, like you have already discovered, to put the TextBlock in the StackPanel so it ends up
below the Button and not on top of it in the same Grid.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version.

Currently using Flash Pro CS5, getting error when trying to open CS4 file. Error is "Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in previous version. Has there been a fix or patch to this issue or do I have to convert back to CS4 to open the file?

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...

Is it possible for Flash Remoting to do this?

I was wondering if it is at all possible to program a Flash
site for Flash Remoting and use a database on another server? Of
course we have access to the server and could place and script
there to use the database.
Do we have to use the same language as the other server and
far as fetching information?
I would love to use Coldfusion on my server and retrieve info
from the server where the other site resides that uses php.
Is this possible? Thanks!

In 2012 I had a vehicle repossessed. Recently I decided to do something about my credit. When I ran my credit report I noticed that the lender is reporting 2 repos. 2 seperate amounts. One for 7700 and another for 738. I disputed this on EQ. It was verified so I called the lender who stated that the 2nd amount was for the repo charges. I asked her why that was not added to the 7700 account. She stated they could not. I asked to for them to send a copy of the signed contact where I agreed to pay that amount for that charge. She stated they did not have one but they could send a copy of the original loan contract, but it would take a while do to it being at another location in there file storage. How could EQ verify if the loan company doesn't have contract accessible, and can they report 2 repos for one vehicle?I don't know if it is legal or not. However, it doesn't make logical sense to me that they could split the debt into the balance owed on the vehicle and the cost to repossess. The ability to collect both the deficiency and the cost to repo is in the contract you signed with the lender. IMO that means the total unpaid deficiency would be one figure - not two separate tradelines because the contract is what permits the lender to collect both the repo fees and the deficiency amounts. If I were in your shoes I would do the following:First, send a letter to the lender in writing that they correct their reporting with the CRA's of the deficiency and be specificSecond, if the lender doesn't correct the reporting, contact the CFPB. The upside is that they may just remove the tradelines entirely rather than correct. GL

HELP: Problem using AS3 and CF-Flash Remoting CFC

I am trying to use CF flash remoting from an AS3 Class using
the NetConnection class. The approach I am using is directly from
"ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook" by Joey Lott et. al.
I am using a totally standard default install of CF, Flex and
SQL server on Windows 2003 R2.
When I do a CF Flash remoting call using,
_netConnection = new NetConnection();
_netConnection.connect('
http://pordev2.wcrt.xeroxlabs.com:8500/flashservices/gateway/');
_netResponder = new Responder(onGotData, onGotError);
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest);
all seems OK. The CFC returns the integer and string just
fine.
HOWEVER, when I also add an associative array, "aa", to the
string of arguments, I get an error...
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest, aa);
returns the error: "Unknown object type tag (17)"
The same error is also returned if "aa" is an XML variable
instead of an associative array.
So:
a) Is this a bug?
b) Is there an AS3 specific gateway I should have referenced?
c) Is Flash Remoting not yet supported in AS3?
Thanks you for your time,
Ned
=================================================================
Here is my test code:
<cfcomponent displayname="ProjValuationRemote"
hint="Returns an array of Project Header, Valuation and supporting
data recordsets">
<cffunction access="remote" name="getProjValuationData"
output="false" returntype="String">
<cfargument name="test1" type="numeric" required="no"
default=1>
<cfargument name="test2" type="string" required="no"
default = "a default string">
<cfargument name="AA" type="Struct" required="no">
<cfset testReturn = #test2# & ": TESTING -- This is
the return integer: " & #test1#>
<cfreturn testReturn>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
public function requestVRD():void {
var strtest:String = "Simple test string";
var aa:Object = new Object();
aa.curDataSet = 86;
aa.curYear = 2007;
_netConnection = new NetConnection();
_netConnection.connect('
http://pordev2.wcrt.xeroxlabs.com:8500/flashservices/gateway/');
_netResponder = new Responder(onGotData, onGotError);
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest);
private function onGotData(re:String):void {
// arVRD = re;
trace(re);
returnString = re;
trace("got remote data response");
private function onGotError(error:Object):void {
trace("Executing the gotProjectData_Fault: " +
error.description);
trace("Executing the gotProjectData_Fault -- no detail");
// setErrorAlert();
This works as expected producing the following trace:
Simple test string: TESTING -- This is the return integer: 1
Replacing the remote with the following, which adds an array
to the parameter list...
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest, aa);
Produces the following error:
Executing the gotProjectData_Fault: Unknown object type tag
(17)

I didn't think so,
We are putting together ads with alot of images with that 40k limit
so the images don't look great.
I was trying to find the best way to work with the images, while keeping it as simple as possible.
Oh.... your right I was hoping to slowly introduce my associates into AS3, I thought If this could be done
It woud be a great tool to introduce them to, but no
Thank you for your time and feedback

Problems with the CS4 Flash Projector

Hi,
I have developed a big Flash-projekt for a CD-Rom.
When I test the swf, all works very nice, but when I build a
*.exe, the result is not useable.
It is very "ruckelig" (I don't know the english word).
What can I do? Is this a CS4 bug?
I downloaded SWF & FLV Toolbox 3.5, an converted the swf
in an normal Flash-Projector, Version 8 and the result is very
good!
But why?
I don't want to buy a product of a third party, because I
payed much for an original CS4.
Can you please help me and explain me why it doesn't work as
well as the Flash-Projector, Version 8?
Or is there an update for CS4 available?
Thank you.
BMo

I have the same problem, but on a Mac and CS3. I export the projector and it just doesnt launch.
Somebody with a solution?

Is this a known...bug from hell?

I have had this particular intermittent problem since upgrading to CS4....when rendering a workarea....there will be certain parts that will not render
the render bar will turn green for good! and the red not rendered parts....an odd one or two....will not render....I have tried everything other than shaving my head....which I am very close to doing! anyone had this issue....please do not ask me for my computer specs as this has to be a BUG ....I have been using Premiere for years and KNOW the set up ....er stuff...just to mention I have been able to get this to work with rebooting and emptying the media cache and trying all sorts of silly things which slow down my workflow no end....SO?...by the way opacity keyframes do not make any difference
many thanks
Steve

After trying every possible non-sense adjustment......here is what I have found...the piece I have been working on has several .avi pieces which were created in After effects CS4....anytime any of these pieces overlap another piece of video in another video track in Premiere CS4...they will not render so I re-rendered these same .avis to .mov's and all is well in my world .....this a standard SD 720X 480 29.97 project....go figure?
cheers
Steve
here is a link to the finished piece for anyone who is interested....and yes it was rendered with the media encoder in about 11 minutes

Help! understand cs4 flash "Project"

Ok, In cs3 flash project was nice it did what i needed but
now it seems to take more time. the reason may be I'm not using it
for the reason usually used so new operations and features where
not geared to my usage. sorry for any spelling problems or
miss-usage of words.
How I use project. I use it to batch publish 10-100 files
while i go get a coffee.
so why am i writing this.
the cs4 version dose some things that i hope someone knows a
way around.
1. so i have my project file and all my flash files open(open
in project not open as a document) and now i have to check off each
10-100 files i want to publish. waist of time. i understand why its
done but anyone know a check all function?
2. in cs3 fash would hide the publishing visualy from me and
just output the file name to an output window when completed. in
cs4 it opens the file publishes and closes it then moves to the
next one. why? i don't need to see this and i feel its slowing the
process. is it?
3. ok side note cause i just dont know if its possible but is
there a way to override the publish settings for all the files to
follow one set way. example say i have 3 flies in the publish
settings file A says publish a jpeg and a swf, file B says publish
a mov and file C says publish a gif to a different location say my
desktop not the folder its in like the others. ok, now is there a
way to make them say publish as just a swf(or whatever) to say a
new empty folder named say new folder on the desktop. basically
overriding the publish settings.
ok thanks for any help and making my day shorter. if you know
of anything that might be easer please post

Converting Flash Remoting AS2 to AS3

Hello
I was wondering if someone could direct me to some tutorials
on Flash Remoting for AS3.
I would like to convert my old AS2 code over but I can't find
any information on that.
Does this functionality still exist for AS3?

Flash Remote Debugger Help

Yesterday, my Flash CS3 AS2 remote debugging stopped working
after I installed a number of Adobe updates and on Mac OS X (Intel)
update. Before I installed the updates, I was able to debug any SWF
loaded in my browser window with the CS3 debug interface and output
window. After I rebooted, all of my browsers stopped sending my the
prompt to connect to a local host or enter an IP. Also, "debug" is
no longer an option in the drop down menu when I right click on the
swf in the browser window. Flash remote debugging is marked
properly in the FLA publish settings and a new SWD is being
published every time I test. But the player doesn't attempt to
connect at all! I don't know if the loss of this functionality is
related to the updates but it does seem that way.
Any help, please?!
Thanks,
Steven

Problem solved. After the update, I needed to get the newest
version of the Adobe Debug Player for Intel Macs.

How to debug flash remoting?

Hi I am using - flashremoting.jar 1.0.52502 on tomcat.
I have a 3 year old application that is running on 1 server, it works fine there, the flash client can connect to the java tomcat server and call methods and all is well.
We are trying to stand this application up on another server, and I cant get the flash remoting to work, the server side java methods never get called (I added logging to them).
In the adobe troubleshooting it says to go to /gateway and you should get a blank page.
The weird thing is on both the server that works and the server that doesnt work, if I go there in a browser I get:
HTTP Status 404 - /flashservices/index.html
This is the same for both servers. So im not sure what to try next. Im not an expert in flash my flash guy says the client gets: "Error opening URL"
The url in the flashvars looks good, the flashgateway.jar file is in the web-inf/lib folder , the frconfig.txt is in web-inf/classes
my web.xml has this:
<servlet>
        <servlet-name>FlashGatewayServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>Flash Remoting Servlet</display-name>
        <description>
            Servlet-based plugin to Flash Remoting
        </description>
        <servlet-class>
            flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>FlashGatewayServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/gateway</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
what can I check next, how can I troubleshoot this and figure out if its a client problem or a server problem, or somewhere in the middle?
thanks
Joel

I got on line with tech support to get them to show me how to use it. The guy hardly knew anything about it himself. From the coldfusion group and was the guy who was supposed to know. I screen shared with him and every time we tried debugging from flex it would just stop. Seems that if something goes wrong in a coldfusion library, the debugger just stops and so it is something upsteam of your break point. Of course there is nothing to show you that, but it became clear. The guy didn't have any better idea than I did what was going on. I figured that out.
If you check the docs about CF and flex, their recommendation is write it all as a CF app. debug it and then hook flex to it. Pure garbage. Anybody hear of DRY. I have dumped ever using CF on the back end. It is not an oop language. It is a tag based language for markup pages with quasi script and its ORM is so inflexible its a joke.
Went back to ruby on rails and rubyamf for my backend to flex apps (with Mate as MVC framework) and I could not be happier. Never had such an unpleasant develpment experience than working with Coldfusion as the backend to a flex app. Good luck.

Flash remoting image loading

Hello, can someone please tell me if this is possible:
I want to use flash remoting (AS2) to enable coldfusion
database connectivity that will dynamically populate my .swf with
images.
If it is possible, can someone please direct me to where I
can learn how to do this.
thanks kindly for any info.

To answer the first question, yes it is possible.
Second, search sephiroth.it's web tutorials on remoting.
Good luck!

Where is flash remoting in actionscript 3.0\flash cs5

hello everybody,
i have been looking throught all the available tutorials on this site including flash cs5 help, actionscript 3.0 developer's guide, learning actionscript 3.0 and i can't seem to find anything relating to flash remoting (i.e how to retrieve and send data to and from a server like coldfusion). has it been removed?
i have solutions that were built with flash and actionscript 2.0 that uses data retrieved from coldfusion server for it's operation, i was thinking of migrating them to actionscript 3.0, but it keeps saying that the classes, packages or interfaces like mx.remoting, mx.rpc can not be found. even when i create a new flash document specifying 2.0 as the docuent type, it is still not compiling,. does this mean i have to revert to flash 8\actionscript 2.0 because that is what i built the programs with. please any information or guidiance will be highly appreciated.
thanks to you all.

To do it in AS2 you need just install the remoting classes again. You can either copy them fro your old install or get them:
http://drupal.org/node/258605
Scroll down a bit and you'll see a link to the as2 remoting classes: Remoting_FlashCS3.zip
In AS3 there are a few ways. Some people have made classes for it, or you can use the built in methods of NetConnection. Here's a couple examples of that:

CS4 Flash Projector in Mac OS X Lion

I sell products which run using Flash Projector that were created with the CS4 Flash Projector and am getting complaints that they no longer work on Mac OS X Lion. I've read the Adobe Knowledge Base article about known issues (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html) but Flash Projector is not mentioned. I cannot upgrade my Mac to Lion yet for various reasons, so I cannot test the problem. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Cor-el - - Thanks! this looks like it has some good clues, BUT, in following up, my Library doesn't show me any .plist with .mozilla. in the filename. Am running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2). FYI - The Library is one of only four (4) folders in the root level on the system partition; the system partition being labeled, Mac Mini HD. These four folders are, Applications, Library, System, Users. Library folder has a subfolder named Preferences. None of the files therein has "mozilla" anywhere in the filename. Looking further, the System folder has its own subfolder labeled, Library! It has no subfolder, Preferences. Running a Finder Search on the Mac, and again on the Mac Mini HD (root folder), I get Zero (0) results with "org.mozilla.firefox.plist." Also, with Contains ".mozilla" and with Contains ".firefox.".
Will greatly appreciate a bit more hand-holding from you, if OK with you.

FLEX 2... Or Flash Remoting

Hi, could someone please help me make a decision with which
architecture to use to build a flash application?
I want a flash front end, i dont care about users who dont
have a flash player; this is for a commercial enterprise for a
specific user base. My application is for property, the management
and maintenance of, so the property is the main object and all data
relating to its financial budgets, leaseholders who live in the
block, maintenance records, health and safety and cleaning records;
etc. The users all need to be directed by and communicate through
this central organisation and management tool.
I can use Flash pretty well but have never used flash
remoting or ever learned to connect flash to database query
results.
So do i build using the Flex 2, Adobe Air, or Flash Remoting
MX
I have been learning Coldfusion and have a back end being
developed as we speak in fusebox methodology and microsoft sql
database.

Hi,
If you must make application more flexible for you,
you must get Flex. it's an ide.
If you want to custom componant or animation you must take
flash.

What does this mean: import mx.remoting.RecordSet

hello;
I am adopting AS2;
I get the import concept;
my problem is the "mx.remoting.RecordSet";
when I look in the Adobe Flash CS3 documentation (
"ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference/ActionScript classes" ), I do
not see 'mx' OR "remoting" OR "RecordSet" listed;
so, in this example, is 'mx' a superclass? or what? and where
do I find documentation on it as well as all other whatever they
are??
thanks
