Today I had a project that required some backend db work with flash. I thought to use amfphp which I have not used in over a year. After going to http://amfphp.org just to see what I seen this time last year (“nothing”), I thought “no biggie” amfphp worked great the last time I used it. Well I was wrong, as of php5.3 there are problems now with Amfphp, and since Wade Arnold has done just about nothing with the framework in over 2 year (“since he took over amfphp”) I gonna just say that framework is “dead”.

Well after that naturally I thought maybe it’s time to use Zend amf seeing that it is whats been pushed and worked on for the last year. But go figure, Zend AMF 1.9.5 does not work out of the box if you get it from http://framework.zend.com/download/amf, apparently you will be missing some needed files if you down load it from there. Well after a few hours I found that if you just download the Zend framework from the main page it will have all the needed files. I’m very worried since my experience with Zend Amf has not been intuitive for some one who does not use the zend frame work. The framework in generally  feels like it being made with for the flex framework and not flash from pure as3, I only say that because there are just about no updated examples for flash but many for flex. I’m afraid that flash IDE users are getting the shit end of the stick  when it comes to amf and php.  Now I did get the project working with Zend amf, but now I have a crap load of files on my server that are related to Zend that will only take up space. I know for a fact that people who may have used amfphp who are also not very good with php are gonna struggle with Zend amf.

I want to say that I have respect for what Wade Arnold has done seeing that no one should ever complain about things in life that are free, but I will say that I have said it from the beginning and I’m gonna say it again, Amfphp is dead, and I’m ok with that only because I hope that Wade Arnold puts his time in to making Zend Amf as good as it can be, because right now it felt like pulling teeth using it and the flash industry needs a way to get and send data fast to php.

By the way here are some dates to support claims.

thats all in just this last year….

If I’m wrong I think it’s time Wade Arnold proved me wrong. Two years is a long time in the world of php.

I’m outraged by HP’s decision to not support windows7 drivers on the pavilion Dv9000 series. There is no viable excuse in my opinion why HP can not/should not add drivers for a laptop that had vista pre installed on it and was listed on their front page just over a year ago.

I hope that HP corrects this very soon. I can only imagine that there was many sales of that laptop last year alone. That will be a lot of upset laptop owners who just over a year ago paid around $1500 for their top of the line laptop, but now can not upgrade their “forced upon” vista OS to the new windows 7 that is superior to vista in many ways.

How can a series of laptops with a top of the line cpu and video cards not be eligible as stated here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892673&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3650971, yet lower end laptops like the Dv2 series is getting supported?

I will be voicing my opinion about this issue else were in hopes to gather more support and create more complaints to HP for their incompetents in supporting one of their newest  laptops.

I was told by HP support that I should not upgrade and to continue to use vista only for this laptop.

outraged!

A critical vulnerability exists in the current versions of Flash Player (v9.0.159.0 and v10.0.22.87) for Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, and the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat v9.x for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX operating systems. This vulnerability (CVE-2009-1862) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There are reports that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild via limited, targeted attacks against Adobe Reader v9 on Windows.

We are in the process of developing a fix for the issue, and expect to provide an update for Flash Player v9 and v10 for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux by July 30, 2009 (the date for Flash Player v9 and v10 for Solaris is still pending). We expect to provide an update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat v9.1.2 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX by July 31, 2009.

I don’t know how many people have been affected by this problem, but it looks as if Adobe is taking the vulnerability seriously and a resolution should follow soon.

Symantec says it has seen several instances of this vulnerability being exploited in targeted attacks — such as those in which the attackers include a poisoned attachment in an e-mail that addresses the recipient by name.

Today I seen a site that was using it found here. http://www.jupiterxo.com/.

I would like to make a little showcase of the sites to show creative ways of using this library.  So please submit links and show off your work .

Thanks and keep enjoying.

My flash player is uptodate and so is my CS4. I have 10.0.2 installed and the CS4 install was a reinstalled not only 2 months ago. I have googled with no results of any one else complaining of creating damaged files from CS4.

What should I do?

Thanks
