jSeamless 2.0 is Coming!

Posted on August 13, 2009 by mhicks

From the outside looking in it would appear that jSeamless is all but dead, but if you’ve been paying attention to SVN commits you’ll notice there’s been quite a lot of activity for the past several months. I have somewhat abandoned what small community I had with jSeamless 1.0 in an effort to “start over”…

Flex WebBrowser Component

Posted on February 18, 2009 by mhicks

I’ve been working on an acceptable solution to display web pages within my Flex applications and as any of you know that have done any research on it will find, it’s frustrating how lacking Flex is in support for this. The ideal solution would be for Flex to provide a fully functional component that renders…

Flash/Flex URLRequest Upload Security Hack

Posted on December 28, 2007 by mhicks

It’s been a while since I posted and after dealing with this horrid bug in Flash I figured it would be a great topic to get me back on track. So, apparently there’s this nifty little bug in Flash/ActionScript with the URLRequest object when you attempt to do a file upload, it uses a completely…

Flash/Flex URLRequest Upload Security Hack – Part 2

Posted on December 28, 2007 by mhicks

So I lied, apparently my hackery wasn’t enough to appease IE even though Firefox happily worked going forward. Apparently in IE it determines, “Oh, I’ve been authenticated on this URL before…so lets send broken authentication information instead of an upload”, and then no matter what you respond back to the request with it just ignores…

Applet Roadblock

Posted on December 28, 2007 by mhicks

My massive hack for native drag-and-drop in jSeamless Flex implementation is functional, but only in Firefox. Apparently there is an interesting “feature” in IE that even though you may sign your Applet and the user grants that they way to trust said Applet, it still never gives you read access to the file system. That…

Flex Native Drag-and-Drop: The Massive Hack

Posted on December 28, 2007 by mhicks

I had made the commitment a while back that I was going to add complete and perfect drag-and-drop support to jSeamless. The Flex Implementation proclaims support for DnD so I’ve just pushed off the investigation up until recently. However, now that I’ve come to implement this great functionality I realize that there is absolutely no…

jSeamless: The Conspiracy

Posted on September 18, 2007 by mhicks

Okay, so this probably doesn’t par up to the JFK assassination, those crop circles, or how in the world John Locke can survive a bullet in the chest, but it’s starting to really bother me. I developed jSeamless with the intent of “seamlessly” bringing technologies together to make life easier on the developer. However, I’m…

Stressing

Posted on August 16, 2007 by mhicks

No, in a good way. 🙂 We’ve been working through a lot of stress testing at work for jSeamless to prove that it can stand up to an unreasonable load only exceeded by getting “slashdotted. We have faired quite well and we’re currently working to get the document released for public “consumption”. This will be…

Flex: Love and Hate

Posted on June 21, 2007 by mhicks

Adobe Flex 2.01 is a very good framework and it is so much better than practically any other web-based UI framework in existence today, but there are so many bugs in the code and so many restrictions that are very difficult to get around I’m locked into a love and hate relationship with it. I’m…
