Output from Flash to session cookies

Hi,
I'm a newbie as far as Flash is concerned. My background is
coding dynamic ASP 3.0 with ODBC connection to Access databases. I
have a number of educational programmes written in Flash that I
want to be able to track the progress of the student through each
scene so I can provide advanced reporting.
I am hoping the simplest solution ( not necessarily the best)
is to get each scene to write to the session cookie. I can use the
Global.asa file Session.end event to capture the output to write to
a database. I would like to write several variables for each scene
- course name, scene number, date & time.
All help appreciated

Hi Kglad,
Good news
- that sounds like an answer....
Did I say I was a newbie??!!
I really appreciate you help though. Is it possible to get a
paint by numbers answer?
I am hoping that I can add the needed action script at the
beginning of each scene.
Merry Christmas

  • How to Strip Extraneous Output from SQL*Plus Session

    We are running Oracle Database 11g on Solaris 10, and I am trying to use SQL*Plus to create a temporary .sql file that I can execute in a later step of a Korn shell script. Here is the code:
         $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
    --whenever oserror exit failure;
    --whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode;
    set serveroutput on
    set termout off

    set heading off
    set feedback off

    end;
    spool off;
    exit;
    EOF
    I've tried to turn off everything I don't need, but I am missing something. When I run the script, I get the following in the temporary file:

    host chmod 751 /s01/app/oracle
    --Ready to execute: host ls -ld /s01/app/oracle

    Any ideas?

  • Is it possible to output multiple clips from a multitrack session, at the same time?

    I'm using Audition CC 2014.2
    on Windows 7 Pro x64
    I am trying to figure out how to output several clips from a multitrack session, at the same time.
    A session like this:
    Is it possible to output 5 files right now?
    I can select each one (or even multiple) and use File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Selected Clips to do one at a time only.
    I'm hoping for a way to give each clip (or group of clips) a predefined filename, by perhaps using markers or something like that, which would then allow me to faster "automate" the exporting of each section into a different sound file.
    This ability would be really helpful when using a single multitrack session to generate multiple sounds and a change to globally applied effects is made and all sounds now need to be updated.
    Any ideas?

    They are, yes, but I'm also working with multitrack sessions using clips made from various different sound files.
    Ahh ok, use markers?
    So, this sort of thing isn't possible in multitrack mode then?
    If not, it sounds I'll have to "mix down" my multitrack session into a single file and set up the markers in Waveform Edit view.
    That's an extra step I'd have to do, and after editing the multitrack session, surely some markers . . . oh wait, no . . . every time I output the new mix down file from the multitrack I'd need to redo all the markers. Drat . . .
    Honestly, I am very new to Audition, but I'm about to plow into it, big-time, and I'm hoping for a nice non-destructive and fast workflow that'll enable me to output sets of sounds from the same multitrack session.
    But, it seems like this functionality is currently missing.

  • Session Cookies Being Overwritten Browsing From SSL to Non SSL

    I have created a bug report for this issue as well.
    Please note I am using J2EE session variables so keep that in mind.
    I am seeing session cookies being overwritten when browsing from an SSL connection to a non SSL connection.
    For example:
    Visiting https://www.domain.com/ results in a JSESSIONID cookie being set with details being send for "Encrypted connections only".
    Visiting http://www.domain.com/ results in a JSESSIONID cookie being set with details being send for "Any type of connection".
    Here's the problem:
    Say for example, you're logging into an admin module located at https://www.domain.com/admin/. Once authenticated and some session variables are set, you browse to http://www.domain.com/. When that happens your session cookie (JSESSIONID) is overwritten with a new value and you instantly lose your authentication in the admin module.
    Obviously this is causing massive problems for my clients that bounce back and forth from SSL to non SSL connections which is common for e-commerce websites.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Clear your cookies.
    2. Visit a web page such as https://www.domain.com/. Note the JSESSIONID cookie value.
    3. Visit a web page such as http://www.domain.com/. Note the JSESSIONID cookie value and how it was overwritten.
    This behavior changed in ColdFusion 10. ColdFusion 9 did not overwrite the session cookie.
    Has anyone else experience this?

    Deleting and re-adding my account seems to have fixed it.  I think when I initially added my Google Talk account, it was by using the "Add Jabber Account" under 10.6 or something.  Now, when I re-added my account, I notice both "Google Talk" and "Jabber" are options, so my thought here is that Jabber and Google Talk options are no longer quite the same thing.

  • CFID and CFTOKEN Being Deleted from Session Cookie

    I can't believe that no one else has run into this - but I
    have found nothing on the internet.
    When I copy a piece from a web page that is generated by my
    coldfusion server, and paste it into a word document, the session
    cookie is altered, and the CFID and CFTOKEN information is deleted,
    so I lose my login. Recently, I've developed a problem on a
    different application - when I open a word document that is stored
    on the server, using CFCONTENT, same thing happens - the cookie is
    altered, CFID and CFTOKEN are deleted, and I lose my login.
    I'm tearing my hair out. Has anyone seen this behaviour, any
    ideas as to why this would occur? Any ideas as to how to get around
    it?

    Here's my CFAPPLICATION tag:
    <cfapplication name="DashBoard"
    clientmanagement="Yes"
    sessionmanagement="Yes"
    setclientcookies="Yes"
    clientstorage="cookie"
    loginstorage="session"
    sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 30, 0)#">
    Not sure what you mean by application sections. It's one
    application.
    I don't refer to the cookie in any other way. It's there only
    to do what CF does with it - maintain the information that's used
    to find the session.

  • Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro

    Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
    I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
    Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11

    Hi,
    Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's?  A projector is basically an application.  Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles.  When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
    Thanks,

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to Set up HTTPOnly and SECURE FLAG for session cookies

    Hi All,
    To fix some vulnerability issues (found in the ethical hacking , penetration testing) I need to set up the session cookies (CFID , CFTOKEN , JSESSIONID) with "HTTPOnly" (so not to access by other non HTTP APIs like Javascript). Also I need to set up a "secure flag" for those session cookies.
    I have found the below solutions.
    For setting up the HTTPOnly for the session cookies.
    1] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
         this.sessioncookie.httponly = true;
    For setting up the secure flag for the session cookies.
    2] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
         this.sessioncookie.secure = "true"
    Here my question is how we can do the same thing in Application.cfm?. (I am using ColdFusion version 10). I know we can do this using the below code , incase of HTTPOnly (for example).
    <cfapplication setclientcookies="false" sessionmanagement="true" name="test">
    <cfif NOT IsDefined("cookie.cfid") OR NOT IsDefined("cookie.cftoken") OR cookie.cftoken IS NOT session.CFToken>
      <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#session.CFID#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
      <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#session.CFTOKEN#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
    </cfif>
    But in the above code "setclientcookies" has been set to "false". In my application (it is an existing application) this has already been set to "true". If I change this to "false" as mentioned in the above code then ColdFusion will not automatically send CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to client browser and we need to manually code CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL for every page that uses Session. Right???. And this will be headache.Right???. Or any other way to do this.
    Your timely help is well appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I couldnt understand this. I mean how are you relating this with my question.
    When Tomcat detects that the communication protocol is secure (that is, HTTPS), it automatically switches on the 'secure' flag for the J2EE session cookie, JsessionID. Tomcat is configured to do that. Coldfusion has no say in it. So, for JsessionID, 'secure' is automatically set to 'false' when HTTP is detected and automatically set to 'true' when HTTPS is detected.
         If this is the case then why I am getting below info for jsessionid (As you mentioned it should set with SECURE flag . Right???). Note that we are using web server - Apache vFabric .And the application that we are using is in https and there is no hit is going from https to http.

    Set HTTPOnly / Secure for the session cookies that you wish to use. Each cookie has its pros and cons. For example, the JsessionID cookie is more secure and more Java-interoperable than CFID/CFToken but, from the explanation above, it forbids the sharing of sessions between HTTP and HTTPS.
         I understood that setting thos flags (httponly/secure) is as per my wish. But my question was , is it necessary to set those flags forcf session cookies (cfid and cftoken) as we have enabled J2EE session in CF admin?. Or in other way as the session management is J2EE based do we need to set those flags for CF session cookies?.
    BKBK wrote:
    3]If I need to set HTTPOnly and SECURE flag for JSESSIONID , how can I do that.
    It is sufficient to set the HTTPOnly only. As I explained above, Tomcat will automatically set 'secure' to 'true' when necessary, that is, when the protocol is HTTPS.
         I understood that it is sufficient to set httponly only.but how we will set it for jsessionid?. This is my question. Apache vFabric will alos set secure to true automatically. Any idea??

  • (How can we) Export FXG from Flash Professional using JSFL

    How can we export a selection from Flash Professional as .FXG using JSFL? It appears that this is not possible... just yet! I have added this as a feature request within the Adobe Labs site for Flash Professional. Someone at Adobe suggested that I also explore the forums, so here we are. If you would also like to have this feature added, please let Adobe know by promoting the idea.
    Our use case is this: we have a large Flash file with a library of over one thousand skins and assets that were built in Flash with Adobe's Flex Skins Templates. These stateful, graphical skins were used within a custom theme by several Flex 3 projects. Our ultimate goal is to bring these through Catalyst, maintaining their vectors, and use them to create Spark skins.
    We've got a JSFL that can export each linked library asset, as well as any frame-labeled 'state' within these clips. However, currently we are using exportPNG, which is not ideal as it flattens our vector art into raster images. We are about to try the exportSWF option, and see what Flash Catalyst does with this. Our early attemps with importing swf's haven't been too amazing.
    I'm starting to imagine some cross-product scripting in which we export symbols at a state-by-state level as .swf from Flash, then rebuild these onto layers in Illustrator, and THEN import these into Catalyst...yikes!
    Anyone have a better solution?

    Follow-up:
    Out of pure wishful thinking I decided I would just see what happened if I pretended 'exportFXG' was already a part of JSFL. Based on the signature of 'exportPNG', i tried the following lines:
      var success = fl.getDocumentDOM().exportFXG("file:///C:/mySymbol.fxg"); 
      fl.trace("success:"+success); // output: success:true 
    It worked! Fantastic! I'm not sure if exportFXG is considered still in "beta" and therefore intentionally excluded from the docs, or if it was just an oversight. But at least it gives us something to experiment with.

  • Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

    When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
    resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
    frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
    etc...
    As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
    frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
    The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
    medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
    I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
    with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
    Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
    Thank you,
    Olivier.

    The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
    feature - not the feature itself but how it
    works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
    almost unusable unless you have a very
    short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
    generated effects or something - otherwise,
    for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
    enough and not fast enough for any real
    world production environment.
    So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
    it takes any SWF and makes it into an
    AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
    quite incredible - enough so that I
    always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
    as Wacom tablets).
    Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
    Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
    are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
    - Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
    it was never really designed for animation to video even
    though many of us have found it suitable
    for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
    production.
    But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
    deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
    to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
    (Mac users could always choose to export
    to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
    For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
    timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
    the SWF2Video tool.
    hope this helps.

  • Opening an HTML popup from Flash, not as tab

    Hi
    I need to open an HTML popup from Flash (using ActionScript in
    Flex 4).
    Thus far I found a solution, and it does work in Safari - a new
    and separate HTML window is popped up (with a new web page).
    private function popUpTheHtmlEditor():void {
      var url:String = "http://www.adobe.com";
      var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
      try {
        navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
      } catch (e:Error) {
        trace("Error occurred!");
    But in (my) Firefox (with my settings), when I click on the Flash
    (Flex) button, the page is being opened in a new tab.
    I need a solution which pops up the HTML page in a new/separate
    window, as far as possible regardless of the browser (and browser
    settings).
    I found an example where a popup is opened from HTML, and it opens a
    separate window (a real popup) in my Firefox:
    http://www.gtalbot.org/FirefoxSection/Popup/PopupAndFirefox.html
    -> "Open a requested popup"
    The JavaScript code seems to be:
      OpenRequestedPopup(this.href, this.target); return false;
    with this function def:
      function OpenRequestedPopup(strUrl, strTarget)
        if (WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup == null || WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.closed)
        WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup = window.open(strUrl, strTarget, "top=" + windowTop + ",left=" + windowLeft + ",width=" + windowWidth + ",height=" + windowHeight + ",menubar,toolbar,location,resizable,scrollbars,status");
        else
        if(WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.focus)
          WindowObjectReferenceOfRequestedPopup.focus();
    How could I call such code from ActionScript? Should this work through
    ExternalInterface? I couldn't even get this to work:
      ExternalInterface.call('alert', 'foo');
    Should I use swfobject.js for embedding the .swf in the HTML wrapper?
    Any other ideas?
    The two files are pasted below.
    Here's the compiler command I'm using:
      mxmlc -output button.swf -target-player 10.0.0 flash_to_editor.mxml
    I'm running the examples locally (as files, not over http). Would it

    Hi, 
    Here's a solution.
    1. Make ExternalInterface work when files are loaded as local files: 
    Go to
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l 
    In tab Global Security Settings: Edit Locations -> Add Location ->
    browse to the .swf file, add it. Make sure it's in the list (under the
    Edit Locations drop down, with a green check mark.) 
    Now open the HTML wrapper in a browser (eg Firefox). 
    Now this works (ActionScript): 
    private function popUpTheHtmlEditor():void {
      ExternalInterface.call('alert', 'foo');
    On Windows: perhaps:
    http://techjig.blogspot.com/2008/03/flash-global-security-settings-windows.html
    "In order for external interface functions to be called, you must also
    specify the folder/file where the swf file is located." 
    The above setup isn't necessary when the files are on a server. 
    Also see: 
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/External Interface.html#call()
    ""ExternalInterface" "
    "call() method" 
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7ea6.html
    "About ExternalInterface API security in Flex" 
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf626ae-7fe8.html#WS2d b454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f31
    "Using the ExternalInterface API to access JavaScript" 
    2. Open a real popup: Example: 
    ActionScript: 
    private function popUpSomething():void {
      var editorPathOrUrl:String =
        'wrapper.html';
      var windowName:String =
        "SomeNameSeeDocs";
      var windowFeatures:String =
        "toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=700";
      ExternalInterface.call(
        'launch',editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures
    JavaScript: 
    function launch(editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures) {
      windowRef = window.open(
        editorPathOrUrl,windowName,windowFeatures
    Works in all browser I tested except Opera.

  • How to Edit Web Gallery Output from CS5?

    Hello!  I just upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5.  (Got some scrambling to do to catch up!)  I had been using the old File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery to create galleries for my Web site.  Massaged a little in Dreamweaver MX (I know, I know...) they look something like this:
    http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2/index.html
    I found out how to add the old Web Photo Gallery back into Photoshop CS5, but was curious to find out what Bridge CS5 would do with Output>Web Gallery.  I experimented with the Standard template and was mostly happy with the result.  Here's what I got:
    http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2_test1/index.html
    Trouble is I'd like to be able to customize the output a little more than allowed within the template itself.  It looks like the output has Flash, JavaScript, XML, HTML and maybe other programming resources.  I'm fairly familiar with HTML 3 and CSS, but am not a programmer.  Can anybody recommend what high-level editing tools (example: Microsoft Word for fancy text editing) I could use to make some modest tweaks?  The default modules are fine, but I'd at least like to be able to add a link back to my main gallery page like you see at the top right of my old Web Photo Gallery pages.
    Also- are there 3rd party templates for Bridge CS5 Web Gallery?
    Thanks, - Dave

    Hi i7nvd
    Oh my, I missed that completely!  Thanks very much for bringing that to my attention.  In the meantime I found that ACDSee would do a Web gallery that works OK for me.  However I will go back to Bridge Output Web Gallery this afternoon and five it a whirl.  Again, many thanks for jumping in and pointing that out to me.  I appreciate it a lot!
    BTW, thanks for the link to your site built with the Bridge plug-in.  And congratulations on the wedding!

  • No Sound Output from Logic Pro 9

    I recorded a 4-track performance in Logic Pro 9, but when I play it back the displays show that the sound is there but no sound comes out of my computer.  Other files that I have recorded in Logic Pro 9 play fine.  Any Suggestions?
    My Preferences Core Audio is set to Built-in Output, with an I/O Buffer Size of 256, 24-Bit Recording, Unversal Track Mode and Software Monitoring.  Audio Settings specify Automatic Management of Channel Strip Objects, Automatic Naming of Channel Strip Objects and Playback Pre-roll, with a sample rate of 44.100 kHz.  My Apple Sounds System Preferences are set for Built-In/Internal Speakers, the output volume is all the way up, and the mute is off.  I cannot figure out what is keeping the sound from coming out.  Again, any ideas would be appreciated...

    Here are some things to try.
    You said you have core audio set to built in outout , yet you have an Apogee ensemble. Can you hear audio coming from the computer output?
    Can you play other audio files from this session?
    In the lower right hand corner of Logic in the arrange window there is a volume control, did you turn that down without realizing it?
    Can you hear audio from another Logic Session?
    Can you hear Audio From Itunes?
