Need help with Security when running AS3 inside browser

Hi,
I am fairly new to flash, but a fairly experienced
programmer.
I have created a game that runs perfectly and communicates to
a WinSock server over port 4000 to publish its final score to.
Using simple XMLSocket and Send.
When I run the game in the standalone flash player everything
works perfectly as it should
However when I embed in a HTML page or similar it goes wrong.
The game works fine, but the final posting to the WinSock socket
server fails. I have retrieved the error message.
ioErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError"
bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048"]
My server is a local server to me running IIS 6. Everything
runs fine by the standalone flash player so I know ports are clear
and firewalls are not the problem.
Searching around google and forums I have found out that in
9,0,124,0 (the flash I am running) that they made some security
enhancements, namely you need to post a crossdomain file.
My file is sat in the wwwroot of my webserver where my flash
swf is hosted and looks like
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I have also tried adding the following to the 1st section of
the swf file
Security.loadPolicyFile("
http://mydomainname.com/crossdomain.xml");
I have tried all conbinations, but I cannot get the flash to
communicate to the socket server when it inside a web browser.
If i run it in the standalone player, everything works
perfectly.
Can someone help me please. I have been googling and ripping
my hair out for ages. This is the final stage of my project and I
am failing at the final step.
Just to add.
My server and testing computer are on the same domain, the
web server is a win2003 server and my testing and coding server is
a XP machine running IE7. They are linked by a ADSL router sharing
the same external IP address but via DHCP addressing. Everything
works fine for port forwarding of the winsocket port.
Just to emphasis, I believe this setup is correct, as it all
works fine when I run in the flash player.
Many thanks

I fixed it eventually.
In flash 9.0.124.0 they now force you to have a socket XML
server running on port 843 a server somewhere if you wish to use
XMLSocket inside a browser.
Nothing to do with domain or crossdomain.xml files.
You need to also call
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://x.x.x.x:843") before you
open the socket.
to load in the XML that defines what is allowed.
Search google for AS3 and socket server port 843 and you will
find examples and even a simple Java based server to use.

Need help with security

Hi. I'm new to this list, and pretty new to web services. I'm
currently trying to apply security to an existing application, and
i've been studing the tutorials at sun web
(http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.4/tutorial/doc/). In the
simple sample, in the build.xml file, there's a 'gen-server' target
which i believe creates ties of the service, right? Well, i do the
same step in my application (just before packaging into a raw war
file), and move all the generated files, together with my server
compiled classes, to the WEB-INF dir. Therefore i have all that class
files in /WEB-INF/classes/hello (i'm doing this with a helloword
example). Included in those files, theres a file called
"HelloIF_Tie.class", which i assume is the tie for my service, created
by the 'gen-server' target.
After this i create a raw war file using the jar tool, and take the
generated file to a dir named "dist". Then i try to create a cooked
war file using the wsdeploy tool. However when i try to run the
application, the server seems to ignore any security options i have
configured. Looking into the deployable war file i found that it had
generated quite a few more class files
(HelloIF__HelloService__Tie.class between them), and that in the
jaxrpc-ri-runtime.xml file there was the following line:
tie='hello.HelloIF__HelloService__Tie'
This seemed a bit strange to me, since i believed that my tie file was
HelloIF_Tie.class. Therefore, i tried something: changing that line
for
tie='hello.HelloIF_Tie'
And packaging all into a war file again with the jar tool, everything
runs fine. However its kind of boring doing this every time i change
the server code. So my question is...
is it possible to tell the wsdeploy tool not to generate any tie
files, and use the ones existing in the raw war file???
is there any other solution to my problem???
Im sorry if these questions are stupid, but im still quite novice with
jwsdp and i dont know if im doing things right. Thank you very much.

CQAndroid, help is here! I am familiar with this feature and use it with my own laptop and iPhone and well. It's a great feature! It forwards all of your text messages to your phone and Macbook, if you like. There's a few steps to try. First go to your iPhone Messages settings (Settings > Messages > iMessage) and turn off iMessages and turn it on again. Then go to the iMessages Settings on your Mac and do the same. Also make sure to activate your telephone number in the iMessages settings on your Mac. Try this and keep us posted please. Thanks!

Need help with security design!

Hi,
I haven't worked with security design very much. Currently I'm about to develop an application to my father which should implement some sort of security.
One of the reasons for this application besides making my father happy is educating myself.
The application is an online image album.
The security could be divided in role-based security and instance level security.
Role-based (NO PROBLEM):
A user cannot delete another user, an administrator can delete users.
Instance-level (DON'T KNOW HOW):
A user can load other users image albums if he/her is allowed/granted to view the album and its images. Note that the user could be granted to view the album, but not all of its images.
My problem is how I should design the "instance-level" security? Should I keep a ACL (Access Control List) with each instance of album and image?
This seems to be a common functionality to add view/load/read/write permissions to an instance in runtime to let a certain user to operate on an asset?
Have searched the Internet but haven't found any nice framework to help me.
Could anyone with some experience please help me out?!
Kind regards, Andreas

I need help with searching for an image inside another image

I need to write a program that checks for a specific image (a jpg) inside another, larger, image (a jpg). If so, it returns a value of true. Can anyone help me?

Please help.

Hi,
I would use a full screen image Sequence made with png for transparency and put your article behind. no auto play, stop at first and last image. and information for swipe to display article.

I need help with closing a running program. It seems like it does not count as a program. Tried to turn of the computer and closing all programs. Please help!?

I have a problem with a grey text box. It writes and says all i do. For example: When i now write it says all the letters one for one. If i open a new rogram it says so. If i click on something it gives me information about it. I can click the box and drag it, but dont close it. I have restarted the computer and closing all windows and programs. It just popped out when i was pressing some buttons on the mac. I think it is a easy way to fix it, but i cant find out what it is named and search for it. I think it is made for help and i did not download anything to get it. If i change user on the mac it does go away when I am on the other user, but i really want to keep the one i have because off all the settings and programs i have.
Please reply if you know anything about this.
This is a printscreen of the box, the language is Norwegian if someone wonder...
It is really annoying, I hope someone can help me out.

Oh thanks alot! Really happy that people take the time to answer my `noob`questions! Would not find that out by my own.
Thanks!

I am using oracle 10g.
thanks.

figured out myself. Thanks.

I need help with Active Content running in the local machine

Hey. I'm in a dead line ... and I'm in trouble: I programmed
a web-site with a flash-menu that uses getURL to connect with the
pages. This web work in the internet but doesn't in the local
machine. I need to distribute it in a CD also, so i need the menu
working in the local machine. I'd tried all the tricks i found in
internet but....no success. Any suggestion....Thanks a lot.

I could make suggestion, but honestly ... I'm afraid I'll
only say
something you've already seen! I mean, *all* the tricks on
the Internet?
lol That's a lot. Have you tried inserting the "mark of the
web" on the
HTML page that contains the SWF?

Of course I did. Anyway, in theory it will work only in
Explorer, but i have the same problem with the other navigators.
The problem is very simple: if I publish de flash-menu for
ACCESS LOCAL FILES ONLY I resolve the problem, but i lost the GET
variables than I'm using for trace the option selected in the menu
to mark it in the next page. In the other hand, if i publish for
ACCESS NETWORK ONLY simply the menu doesn´t work in a local
machine in any of the navigators.
I'm desperately seeking Su...sorry, Solution. (lol)

Help with Secure Erase

I need help with Secure Erase 7-pass in the utility disk. It keeps getting stuck at 25% and a pop up comes out saying not enough memory in the start up disk. Can someone tell me whats going on? After the pop up come on the erase will not proceed.

Hello,
moving files from your computer
You can delete files, folders, and other items on your disk that you no longer need.
You may want to store a backup copy or an archive of important items if you are trying to clear space on your hard disk for other things.
Drag the items to the Trash (at the end of the Dock).
Any files or folders you drag to the Trash remain there until you empty the Trash. If you change your mind about something, you can still retrieve it from the Trash if you haven't emptied it yet. Click the Trash icon to open the Trash window, then drag items back to your home folder.
Choose Finder > Empty Trash.
Even after you empty the Trash, deleted files may still be recovered by using special data-recovery software. To delete files so that they cannot be recovered, choose Finder > Secure Empty Trash. Files deleted in this way are completely overwritten by meaningless data. This may take some time, depending on the size of the file. To prevent the recovery of files you deleted previously, open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities), choose Help > Disk Utility Help, and search for help on erasing free disk space.
If an item is locked, you cannot put it in the Trash. Select the item and choose File > Get Info, then deselect the Locked checkbox in the General pane. If you do not own the item, you may need to provide an administrator's name and password to put the item in the Trash.
Press the Option key when you choose Empty Trash to prevent the warning message from appearing. You can also turn off the warning in the Advanced pane of Finder Preferences.
Also... using the Erase Free Disk Space button:
Erasing free disk space
When you delete files by emptying the Trash, Mac OS X deletes the information used to access the files but doesn't actually delete the files. Although the disk space used by deleted files is marked as free space, deleted files remain intact until new data is written over them. Because of this, deleted files can be recovered.
You can use Disk Utility to erase the "free" space used by deleted files by having zeros written over the space once, seven times, or 35 times. If you have a lot of free space on your disk, overwriting the free space several times can take a long time.
Erasing free disk space does not erase the other files on your disk.
In Disk Utility, select the disk or volume in the list with the free space you want to erase.
Click Erase, then click the Erase Free Space button.
Select an option, then click Erase.
After the process begins, you can interrupt it without harming your data.
You might see a message saying that you are running out of disk space, but you can ignore that warning. When this operation is complete, you will have the same amount of free space as you did when it started.
You can also erase free space when you empty the Trash in the Finder. Choose Finder > Secure Empty Trash.

I know it's been a while but… did you fix this?
It looks to me like you are terminating the <mx:Application> tag at the top. The opening tag should end like this: resultFormat="e4x">, not resultFormat="e4x"/> (Remove the /).

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

HT5312 i need help with the security questions is there some way to get you to remind me what they were from e-mail or other wise

I need help with the security Questions is there some way to get you to remember them by e-mail of other wise

Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.
