Get location from the URLLoader? - actionscript-3

How to get location from the URLLoader in AS3 or haxe?
What I have:
private function Auth():Void {
_url = "https://my_url.com";
request = new URLRequest(_url);
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fAuthAnswer);
}
private function fAuthAnswer(e:Event):Void {
trace(e.target.data);
}
And when the event is complete, i see the HTML code of the loaded page.
But I need to get a loaded URL, because site is redirected me and add auth information in URL. And i need to get it.
Help, please :)
PS I use haxe, so in my way I can't use stagewebview.
PPS Sorry for my English.

Listen for flash.events.HTTPStatusEvent http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLLoader.html#event:httpResponseStatus.
It has a property responseURL.

It's possible to write a sharedobject when allowscriptaccess is = "never"?

I will try to write a sharedObject item using my swf embeded into an html page.
"allowscriptaccess" is setted to "never". I can't write sharedObject!
However if I set allowscriptaccess to "always", write action work well...
If I can't use sharedObject with allowscriptaccess setted to never, exist alternative for saving data?
I write a little and stupid example:
public class Main extends Sprite {
private var SHARED_NAME:String = "__SO__";
private var so:SharedObject;
Security.allowDomain("*");
Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");
public function Main() {
this.so = SharedObject.getLocal(this.SHARED_NAME, "/");
this.setSharedObj("YEAHHHHHHHH");
this.getSharedObj();
}
public function getSharedObj(clientId:String = null):Object {
var url:String = "http://localhost:8080?so=" + this.so.data.test;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
return this.so.data;
}
public function setSharedObj(setValue:String):void {
this.so.data.test = setValue;
this.so.flush();
}
}
When embed the compiled swf using AllowScriptAccess: "never", get Request never have setted the queryparam so.
If set AllowScriptAccess to "always" queryparam will be correctly setted
#akmozo is right, the problem was not related by AllowScriptAccess, but from my way of testing.
The problem is:
Using firefox in anonymous mode, every time you reload the page, shared object are deleted.
I thought for anonymous session are saved, it is not so!

getting POST using URLRequest + if statement syntax issue

I'm trying to get the reply from the address specified in var url:String, which is either 0 or 1. If the reply is 1 then it must set currentState = CallFailed (as seen below). The client compiles without error (using Adobe Flash Builder 4.6) and seems to successfully reach var url:String, but doesn't seem to be getting the response\and or my if statement is incorrect.
Actionscript:
// check to see if block.php replies 0 or 1
var url:String = "https://domain.com/block.php?postid=" + calleeInput.text + "";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
request.data = variables;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
navigateToURL(request);
if (request.data == 1)
{
// if reply is 1 then cancel the call
currentState = CallFailed;
return;
}
PHP:
PHP will echo 0 or 1 when block.php is loaded. It's not encoded in any format such as JSON\AJAX.
It seems you want data from the server. Perhaps the URLLoader class would be better?
var url:String = "https://domain.com/block.php?postid=" + calleeInput.text + "";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
request.data = variables;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,
function( e:Event ) : void
{
// your response data will be here
// you'll have to verify the format
trace( e.target.data );
}
)
loader.load( request );
Put a breakpoint at the trace statement and check out the contents of e.target.data, and go from there
The purpose of navigateToURL() is to open the webbrowser, as stated in its documentation:
Opens or replaces a window in the application that contains the Flash Player container (usually a browser). In Adobe AIR, the function opens a URL in the default system web browser
In order to perform an request (without opening a browser, just the HTTP communication) you should use URLLoader.
The URLLoader class downloads data from a URL as text, binary data, or URL-encoded variables.
On a related note: your logic is not valid. The call to a server is asynchronous. You have to wait for the response to be returned before reasoning about the result.
The URLLoader class dispatches a number of Events that help you decide when the result of a request is returned or if there's a problem with it.

Image path issue on as3

I'm trying to create a screensaver for one our of our display we have at work. Images will be uploaded to an external server, from that server I will have pull the images and xml file. so my flash app and my content will be in two different places. I'm getting an error "SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context". how do I override error and get the images to my stage.
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML;
var imageList:XMLList;
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var timer:Timer =new Timer(5000);
var imageIndex:uint = 0;
var child:DisplayObject;
var path:String="http://bgxserv03.mgmmirage.org/interactivemedia/mmhub01/test/mb/edit_bay/hr/infoscreen/servamb/";
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(path +"output.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tick);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event) {
xmlData = new XML ( e.target.data);
imageList = xmlData.image.name;
timer.start();
loadImage(imageList[0]);
}
function imageLoaded(e:Event){
if (child){
myImageHolder.removeChild(child);
}
child = myImageHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
Tweener.addTween(child, {alpha:0, time:1, delay:4});
Tweener.addTween(child, {alpha:1, time:1, delay:5});
}
function loadImage(path:String){
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest( path +"photos/"));
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imageLoaded);
}
Any help would be deeply appreciate. Thank you.
You need to put the "Crossdomain.XML" on the server's root directory. This will allow your flash file to access the data (image in your case) from that server. You can get a sample xml from the following URL, customize it for your server:
Sample CrossDomain.XML
What you are missing is probably a crossdomain.xml policy file at the domain of your image/xml files.
Use this link to create a crossdomain.xml file and add it to the root of your image/xml domain like so : "http://bgxserv03.mgmmirage.org/crossdomain.xml"
The URLLoader load() function automatically checks for the crossdomain.xml. Loader class requires you specify that you are interested in checking for a policy file in a LoaderContext object sent to the load() function.
In your code, it looks like the error should be coming from the URLLoader xml file request, since it doesn't look like you are trying to access the bitmap data of your images in any way, which is normally what would throw a security error for image files. If it is a problem with the image loading part, then complete the following instructions and you should be set to go:
In your loadImage function, add a LoaderContext parameter to your load method call:
function loadImage(path:String){
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest( path +"photos/"), loaderContext);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imageLoaded);
}
Check out the spec for more info on how to use the Loader class.

AS3 URLLoader throwing URL not found, but is connecting successfully

Okay getting some weirdness. I have a simple URLLoader in AS3 that loads an external XML document. It's loading just fine, I get a correct 302 Not Modified response in Charles, however flash tells me:
"URL Not Found"
Here is the relevant code:
//=============================================================================================
public function openXML(name:String):void { //decides what XML data feed and opens it
//=============================================================================================
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
//add event listener to URLLoader to call closeXML upon completion
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, closeXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.gessnerengineering.com/projects"));
//=========================================================
function closeXML(e:Event):void {
//=========================================================
xmlData = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
xmlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, closeXML);
drawPage(name, xmlData);
}
}
The problem line according to the debugger is at:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.gessnerengineering.com/projects"));
I've verified that I can browse to the URL via my browser and cURL, and Charles says that my SWF can and IS successfully accessing it too. However I still get this URL Not Found error. According to the Flash Actionscript 3 documentation, this is the absolute correct way to use URLLoader to load external data including XML.
Updated code with pastie.
I'm finding your code's structure a little odd - why do you have functions inside of a function?
I rewrote your code like this and it works perfectly fine (i just ran it on the timeline in flash cause i'm too lazy to set up a new project):
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.gessnerengineering.com/projects");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
//=============================================================================================
function openXML(name:String):void { //decides what XML data feed and opens it
//=============================================================================================
//add event listener to URLLoader to call closeXML upon completion
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, closeXML);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.gessnerengineering.com/projects"));
}
function onIOError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Error loading URL.");
}
function securityError(e:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
trace("security error");
}
function closeXML(e:Event):void {
trace('xmlLoader.data ' + xmlLoader.data);
xmlData = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
xmlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, closeXML);
}
openXML('ljkl');
Without knowing all of the details, and assuming you implemented the RESTful services properly, your URLRequest might be calling the service with the wrong method (POST, rather than GET).
Check out this tutorial about calling RESTful services from Actionscript 3:
Consuming REST web Services in ActionScript 3
It has some good info on setting the request type and dealing with some of the other issues that can pop up (like setting the return data type, etc.).

Why is my URLLoader not dispatching when it completes?

I'm using a URLLoader to send a few key/value pairs to a php script, which then turns them into an e-mail, sends it (or not), and then echoes a string with a response.
At first it works fine. The URLLoader posts, and I get my e-mail a minute later, but for some reason I'm not getting my response back. In fact, my COMPLETE event doesn't seem to fire at all. This is confusing me because if I'm getting my e-mail, I know I must be sending everything properly. Here's my code:
public class Mailman{
public static const METHOD:String = URLRequestMethod.POST;
public static const ACTION:String = "mailer.php";
public static var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
private static function onMessageProgress(e:Event){
var L:URLLoader = e.target as URLLoader;
Output.trace("PROGRESS: "+L.bytesLoaded+"/"+L.bytesTotal);
for(var k in L){
Output.trace(" "+k+": "+L[k]);
}
}
private static function onOpen(e:Event){
Output.trace("Connection opened");
}
private static function onComplete(e:Event){
Output.trace("Complete!");
}
private static function onStatusChange(e:HTTPStatusEvent){
Output.trace("Status Changed to "+e.status);
}
private static function onMessageFail(e:Event){
PanelManager.alert("ERROR: Could not send your request. Please try again later.");
}
public static function sendMessage(recipient:String,subject:String,message:String){
var _vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
_vars.recipient = recipient;
_vars.subject = subject;
_vars.message = message;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(ACTION);
req.data = _vars;
req.method = METHOD;
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onMessageProgress);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,onOpen);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
myLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS,onStatusChange);
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onMessageFail);
myLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,onMessageFail);
myLoader.load(req);
}
public static function test(){
sendMessage("john#example.com","test","this is a test message.");
}
function Mailman(){}
}
When I call Mailman.test(), I get my e-mail exactly like I expect, and this is what traces out:
Connection opened
PROGRESS: 45/45
Status Changed to 0
How can this be? If I'm understanding the documentation properly, the Open event happens when I begin downloading my response, and clearly that is happening, so how can I get back an http status of 0? Any ideas?
I found it.
The problem was with the URLLoader's dataFormat. This is the format for what you're getting BACK, not what you're sending. I switched it to URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT and it worked perfectly.
Another reason this could happen - if you use weak references when registering your event listeners, and do not keep a reference to your URLLoader instance and the instance handling the event(s), GC may clean them up before they can receive any events.
//make sure the URLLoader and onComplete instances are not local vars
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("dosomething.php");
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, TRUE);
myLoader.load(req);
Ok I found the answer in my case it was .NET page which was responsible for Status=0 in Chrome. What we were doing that in .net page at the line after writing response to be sent back to flash, we were closing the response object which was reseting the page and because of which Chrome was showing status=0 and couldn't render the result. After commenting out the response.close line it started working fine.
I wrote my experience with this problem and how i was able to solve it at http://viveklakhanpal.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/error-2032ioerror/
Thanks,
Vivek.
