  • Framework Overview with UML Diagrams
    Framework Overview with UML Diagrams Learn to Build Robust, Scalable and Maintainable Applications using PureMVC Framework Overview This document discusses the classes and interfaces of the PureMVC framework; illustrating their roles, responsibilities and collaborations with simple UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams. The PureMVC framework has a very narrow goal. That is to help you separate your application’s coding concerns into three discrete tiers; Model, View and Controller. In this implementation of the classic MVC design meta-pattern, the application tiers are represented by three Singletons (a class where only one instance may be created). A fourth Singleton, the Façade, simplifies development by providing a single interface for communications throughout the application. The Model caches named references to Proxies, which expose an API for manipulating the Data Model (including data retrieved from remote services). The View primarily caches named references to Mediators, which adapt and steward the View Components that make up the user interface. The Controller maintains named mappings to Command classes, which are stateless, and only created when needed. The Façade initializes and caches the Core actors (Model, View and Controller), and provides a single place to access all of their public methods. AUTHOR: Cliff Hall <[email protected]> LAST MODIFIED: 3/05/2008 Façade and Core The Façade class makes it possible for the Proxies, Mediators and Commands that make up most of our final application to talk to each other in a loosely coupled way, without having to import or work directly with the Core framework actors. When we create a concrete Façade implementation for our application, we are able to use the Core actors ‘out of the box’, incidental to our interaction with the Façade, minimizing the amount of API knowledge the developer needs to have to be successful with the framework.

  • How to Get Started with Actionscript Actionscript 3.0 Is the Scripting Language of Adobe Flash Professional
    Adobe Flash Professional Guide How to get started with ActionScript ActionScript 3.0 is the scripting language of Adobe Flash Professional. You can use ActionScript to add complex interactivity, playback control, and data display to your application. For example, you might want to animate a picture of a boy walking. By adding ActionScript, you could have the animated boy follow the pointer around the screen, stopping whenever he collides with a piece of animated furniture. ActionScript is an object-oriented programming language. Object-oriented programming is a way to organize the code in a program, using code to define objects and then sending messages back and forth between those objects. You don’t have to be a programmer to take advantage of ActionScript (see “Using Script Assist mode” later in this guide). But the following concepts will help: • Class: The code that defines an object. This code consists of properties, methods, and events. Think of the blueprint of a house: you can’t live in the blueprint, but you need it so you can build the house. You use classes to create objects. • Object: An instance of a class. When you instantiate an object (create an instance of it), you declare what class it is created from and set its properties. You can create as many objects as you want from a single class—if you have a bicycle class, you can create many bicycle objects, each with its own properties (one bicycle might be red while another might be green). • Property: One of the pieces of data bundled together in an object.

  • Flashdetect: Actionscript 3 Malware Detection
    FlashDetect: ActionScript 3 malware detection Timon Van Overveldt1, Christopher Kruegel23, and Giovanni Vigna23 1 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, [email protected] 2 University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, {chris,vigna}@cs.ucsb.edu 3 Lastline, Inc. Abstract. Adobe Flash is present on nearly every PC, and it is in- creasingly being targeted by malware authors. Despite this, research into methods for detecting malicious Flash files has been limited. Similarly, there is very little documentation available about the techniques com- monly used by Flash malware. Instead, most research has focused on JavaScript malware. This paper discusses common techniques such as heap spraying, JIT spraying, and type confusion exploitation in the context of Flash mal- ware. Where applicable, these techniques are compared to those used in malicious JavaScript. Subsequently, FlashDetect is presented, an off- line Flash file analyzer that uses both dynamic and static analysis, and that can detect malicious Flash files using ActionScript 3. FlashDetect classifies submitted files using a naive Bayesian classifier based on a set of predefined features. Our experiments show that FlashDetect has high classification accuracy, and that its efficacy is comparable with that of commercial anti-virus products. Keywords: Flash exploit analysis, malicious ActionScript 3 detection, Flash type confusion 1 Introduction Adobe Flash is a technology that provides advanced video playback and anima- tion capabilities to developers through an advanced scripting language. The files played by Flash, called SWFs, are often embedded into webpages to be played by a browser plugin, or are embedded into a PDF file to be played by a copy of the Flash Player included in Adobe’s Acrobat Reader.
