I’ve recently been working on text file decryption using Railo server. My files were encrypted in ActionScript 3 with the powerful AES-128 algorithm. For more info on AS3 encryption see Hurlant Crypto demo. My challenge was to decypt this heavily encrypted content on a different platform, i.e. Railo with underlying Java Cipher capabilities. The 6 […]
I had a go at loading some assets from Amazon S3 with AS3 bulk loader and ran into trouble. Generally I specify loader context when I load files from external source, but I thought Bulk Loader handled it all internally. ?After browsing the source code I found out that you can pass the LoaderContext into […]
Today I had an interesting problem embedding a swf file compiled in Flash Professional CS3 into Flash Builder 4. My SWF file contained a Flash TextArea component, which dispatches a ComponentEvent when scroll bars are activated. This event resulted in the following error in Flex: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert fl.events::ComponentEvent@1b06b4c1 to […]
In one of my earlier posts?Flex and Red5 simple demo, I demonstrated how to broadcast messages from Red5 server to all subscribed Flash clients and vice versa. This feature of Red5 open source Flash streaming server continues to impress me and I think everyone with a bit of AS3 and Java knowledge should take advantage […]
What’s so cool about Flex framework is the fact that it’s very extensible, which allows me to do almost anything I want with it. For example, to remove folder/arrow icons from Flex Tree control, which prevents nodes from collapsing and also creates more space for labels, you can add the following in your stylesheet: defaultLeafIcon: […]
I’ve been quiet on the blog front for a while. ?I was having a rough time scuba diving in the tropics and so on… Now back to business. I’ve been working on migrating our core Flex 3 app to Flex 4. ?One of the problems I encountered was embedding an external swf file into the […]
I’ve been using?Red5 Flash Streaming Server?for a while and the more I use it, the better I like it.? Sure,?Adobe Flash Media Server?is an excellent commercial product which does the same thing and supports server-side ActionScript.? Red5 doesn’t support server-side ActionScript at the moment (this will probably change), but it is an open source Flash […]
