C# - POST Data To A Flex/Flash (mxml) Application?
Feb 19, 2010
I have Flex application requiring to filter users depending on there database groups. Depending on which group they are, the're is a config.xml file that is use to populate the swf.
Here is how I figure how to do this :
1. The client comes to a .aspx page with a form requiring a username and a password.
2. On the server side I confirm the user credential
3. Once the username/password is valid I redirect to the mxml file with the config.xml file in the html headers (post).
My problem comes when I need to get the post data from the http request. Let's say I have this code :
<mx:Application initialize="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[code]...
How do I get the post data on the init() function.
var params:Object = {}; //params["stack"] = e.stackTrace.slice(0, 542); //length 542 = works //params["stack2"] = e.stackTrace.slice(1, 543); //length 542 = works (just to show that it's not about the content itself) params["stack3"] = e.stackTrace.slice(0, 543); //length 543 = fails
I also seem to be able to create many form fields (with 542 length) so that it's not a limit of the request itself but of the form field:
I am working on a project that is primarily ASP.NET based. The main project is meant to be deployed to multiple locations for different clients, so one client might be located at website.com/client1 and another at website.com/client2. Within the application, we regularly use the application root operator ~ to get the path to a resource.We also have a bunch of Flex applications that get deployed in there, and many rely on web services within the ASP.NET application. What I'm after is a way to reference the services relative to the application root. Here's an example of the location of some files for two client deployments:
Client A website.com/clientA/swf/FlexApplication.swf website.com/clientA/services/webService.asmx Client B website.com/clientB/swf/FlexApplication.swf website.com/clientB/services/webService.asmx
FlexApplication and webService are both exactly the same, so what I want to do is something like this in the Flex code:
var myService:CustomService = new CustomService(~/services/webService.asmx); myService.callMethod("Test");
I would like to avoid using relative paths for the usual reasons. Is there a good way to do this or a good way to pass the root url to the flex application from ASP.NET?
I have an asp.net page where I get the user_id from who's logged in. Now I need to pass this user_id to a flex application that runs in an asp.net page as a .swf. How can I get this user_id in a variable in my flex application. Or what is the best way to get the user_id into flex.

I'm trying to play with live web cam using asp.net with C#.I want to access/stream web cam content using flash then send the captured streams using Real-time Transport Protocol.How is possiable to do that?do you know any simple asp.net application related to this?
There are two web applications App1 & App2. A user would submit his information on App1 though a form. On click of a specific button/link on App1, the same data should be posted to a page on App2 and the user should also be redirected to the same page on App2.I would like some help in finding out the best way to implement this functionality.
One of the approaches that I have already tried out is by creating a temporary HTML form at runtime, setting the action attribute of the form to the App2 Page and get the form posted by using javascript submit. The data can then be fetched on App2 page by using the response.form object.This approach works well, but i was still wondering if there is any other way to implement the required functionality.
give some insights on using RESTful webservices to implement this, or else, using some HttpModule to intercept requests at App1 and modify redirect response to app2 or any other approach that you might find fit for the purpose.

I am trying to post data from vb.net application to web service asmx that is located on server! For posting data from vb.net application I am using this code:
Public Function Post(ByVal url As String, ByVal data As String) As String Dim vystup As String = Nothing Try 'Our postvars Dim buffer As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data) 'Initialisation, we use localhost, change if appliable Dim WebReq As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest) 'Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless WebReq.Method = "POST" 'We use form contentType, for the postvars. WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 'The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength. WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length 'We open a stream for writing the postvars Dim PostData As Stream = WebReq.GetRequestStream() 'Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important! PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) PostData.Close() 'Get the response handle, we have no true response yet! Dim WebResp As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(WebReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) 'Let's show some information about the response Console.WriteLine(WebResp.StatusCode) Console.WriteLine(WebResp.Server) 'Now, we read the response (the string), and output it. Dim Answer As Stream = WebResp.GetResponseStream() Dim _Answer As New StreamReader(Answer) 'Congratulations, you just requested your first POST page, you 'can now start logging into most login forms, with your application 'Or other examples. vystup = _Answer.ReadToEnd() Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try Return vystup.Trim() & vbLf End Function

We re developing an ASP MVC application witch the View (aspx) has a Flex embed. This aspx/flex view is composed by a flex application and several modules.So, when we call the application url (http://localhost:9090/MyProject/Flex/Index),the server invoke the method the will return the ActionResult that represents this action, in this case the ~/Views/Flex/Index.aspx (with the Flex app). However when the ModuleLoader,in the Flex application, try to load a module an error occurs. The problem is that the Flex application canīt directly access the modules folder (~/Views/Flex/modules/module.swf)Are there any way to get the module through an ASP MVC action? Or the best approach is to allow the access to this folder through web.config?
I've started with Flex recently, I've noticed that some plugin for Visual Studio exist, instead of buying a licence for another program (Flex Builder). I was wondering how I could manage to remotely connect to my database with a Flash/Flex application with the help of C#/Asp.Net. If I've correctly understood what I've read in the last few days, there is basically no way to 'query' to a database with Flex 3. So I suppose there is another way by using a webservice in C# on the database server that would respond to the Http query from Flex. Am I right or totally of the track?
I would like to know how to upload a file from ActionScript 3 (From a FLEX Application) to a Dot Net Back End, maybe to an ASHX file, an ASPX file or similar and using C# as core backend language.
I created an application as part of an ASP.NET site. I would like to receive error notifications in my inbox whenever something goes wrong with that flash application.
As I do not have control over our mail server (which has a different domain name), I cannot establish a cross domain policy allowing me to send error emails to my inbox.
Instead, thought I'd send a request to an ASP.NET handler that sends an email on behalf of the flash app.
Now the problem: the error report should include a screenshot of the flash application at the time the error occurred. The FileReference class however only allows file uploads with user interaction (browse dialog) and cannot be used programmatically to send the screenshot to my ASP.NET handler. The plain old POST back only allows files up to ~200K.
Am I missing something or is there no alternative to :
using POST w/ a compressed or resized screenshot or forcing the user to first save a screenshot and then select it for upload?
I'm working on a batch process script that's executed from Flex. The batch script is in a .aspx Page and returns partial results through the following class:
public class ResponseLogger { private HttpResponse _response; public ResponseLogger(HttpResponse response) { this._response = response; } public void Start()
