Suppose an AIR
music store application wants to allow remote SWF files to broadcast
the price of albums, but does not want the remote SWF file to disclose whether
the price is a sale price. To do this, a StoreAPI class provides
a method to acquire the price, but obscures the sale price. An instance
of this StoreAPI class is then assigned to the
parentSandboxBridge
property
of the LoaderInfo object of the Loader object that loads the remote
SWF.
The
following is the code for the AIR music store:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" title="Music Store" creationComplete="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
private var child:Loader;
private var isSale:Boolean = false;
private function initApp():void {
var request:URLRequest =
new URLRequest("http://[www.yourdomain.com]/PriceQuoter.swf")
child = new Loader();
child.contentLoaderInfo.parentSandboxBridge = new StoreAPI(this);
child.load(request);
container.addChild(child);
}
public function getRegularAlbumPrice():String {
return "$11.99";
}
public function getSaleAlbumPrice():String {
return "$9.99";
}
public function getAlbumPrice():String {
if(isSale) {
return getSaleAlbumPrice();
}
else {
return getRegularAlbumPrice();
}
}
</mx:Script>
<mx:UIComponent id="container" />
</mx:WindowedApplication>
The
StoreAPI object calls the main application to retrieve the regular
album price, but returns “Not available” when the
getSaleAlbumPrice()
method
is called. The following code defines the StoreAPI class:
public class StoreAPI
{
private static var musicStore:Object;
public function StoreAPI(musicStore:Object)
{
this.musicStore = musicStore;
}
public function getRegularAlbumPrice():String {
return musicStore.getRegularAlbumPrice();
}
public function getSaleAlbumPrice():String {
return "Not available";
}
public function getAlbumPrice():String {
return musicStore.getRegularAlbumPrice();
}
}
The
following code represents an example of a PriceQuoter SWF file that
reports the store’s price, but cannot report the sale price:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.system.Security;
import flash.text.*;
public class PriceQuoter extends Sprite
{
private var storeRequester:Object;
public function PriceQuoter() {
trace("Initializing child SWF");
trace("Child sandbox: " + Security.sandboxType);
storeRequester = loaderInfo.parentSandboxBridge;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(tf);
tf.appendText("Store price of album is: " + storeRequester.getAlbumPrice());
tf.appendText("\n");
tf.appendText("Sale price of album is: " + storeRequester.getSaleAlbumPrice());
}
}
}
