OAuth authorization with Flash and Flex apps

with 11 comments

Below you will find links to my two video tutorials about OAuth authorization with Flash and Flex apps:

1) Introduction to OAuth for secure user and application authorization

2) OAuth in Adobe AIR applications built with Flash or Flex

You can also download example code from here.

  1. I am trying to run the example code provided here in Flash Builder 4.0.1, but I get the message “Could not resolve to a component implementation. Main.mxml /oauth/src line 7″. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I do not normally do any AIR development, just Flex; do I need to download some additional packages? Thanks!

  2. I found the problem; I was trying to build against Flex 3.4. Switching to Flex 4.1 solved the problem.

  3. Can you provide an example of oAuth for facebook on mobile using stageWebView?

  4. I thought your example was exciting. I have searched all over to determine how you can send parameters using the library. For example, to get the calendar events with out parameters responds well, but if I want to limit my request to start-min and start-max, I get ‘Unknown authorization header’ when passing the arguments into the request parameters portion of the OAuthRequest.

    Have you done something like this in the past? And could you share your experience?

  6. @matt I checked it out from SVN at Google Code and compiled as a Flex Library project.

  8. @smile you can use StageWebView embedded in your app or you can register custom url scheme that will return back to your app.

    You can register custom url scheme with following xml snippet in iPhone section of your app.xml:

    <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
	<dict>
		<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
		<array>
			<string>mycustomurl</string>
		</array>
		<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
		<string>com.myapp</string>
	</dict>
</array>

  9. [...] (Custom URL schemes are especially useful if you are doing OAuth authentication in your app and you want to redirect the user back to your application after the authorization in the browser – you can find out more about OAuth in AS3/Flex applications in my ADC tutorials.) [...]

  10. The google code repository has no download link for oauth-as3, even using SVN fails! What’s happened to that project?
