devthcode + design + music + junk + inspirationFiled under: as3AS3 + AMFPHP + MySQL character set fixTo avoid charset issues when pulling from a MySQL database using AMFPHP: 1. Find the line in your gateway.php where the setCharsetHandler is set.
2. Modify the default to:
$gateway->setCharsetHandler("mbstring","UTF-8","UTF-8"); This setting worked best for me, but for more in depth info, check out: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/amfphp_iconv/page003.php Amazon S3 + bulkloader = use a LoaderContext!In an attempt to save you hours of painful debugging and Adobe-hating: if you're wanting to use the excellent AS3 bulk-loader lib to load assets from S3, follow these steps. Especially step 2. 1. Put your normal crossdomain.xml in place in your S3 bucket
2. Use a loader context on every BulkLoader !
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(true, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
var loader:BulkLoader = new BulkLoader("loadmystuffplskthxbye");
loader.add( someS3Url, { context: context } ); // WIN

Update: as @koblongata and @Jinx posted in the comments, you'll also want to use this technique when loading from Flickr, Facebook or presumably any other API. |
