They enabled this by using the Low Level Virtual Machine and created a new compiler front end that allowed LLVM to understand ActionScript 3 and used its existing ARM back end to output native ARM assembly code.

With the upcoming Flash CS5 we will able to create iPhone applications using Actionscript 3 and the Flash IDE (Flash CS5)!

At this point, the Pixel3DObjects have x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ properties + they  support very basic animation (gotoAndStop).

But a 3D engine wouldn’t be complete without a possibility to import external generated 3D objects, so he also made a Collada parser witch converts a standard 3D mesh to a 3D pixel object:

What is LDAP ?

This code sample has been tested on a Windows 2k3 server.

First time, your server need the LDAP standard connection on the port 389, it’s activate for a default creation of the AD.

Your LAMP / WAMP server also need the php_ldap extension.

I’m using the PHP features to make a connection and the authentication.

First step, make the connection to the AD server :

$host = "my.server.host.com";
//Get authentication information by login form
$myLogin = $_POST["loginAD"];
$myPass = $_POST["passAD"];
$ressource = ldap_connect($host);

PHP will connect to server on the port 389, then you have to authenticate with an AD user to access to his information.

if($ressource){
try{
      //Authentication to the AD with a windows login, password
	$bind = ldap_bind($ressource, $myLogin."@".$host, $myPass);
 
         /**
         **To get all information, its necessary to be logged.
         **It exists an anonymous mode, if you want to test only the server connection
         **Now we can get all information about this user
         */
       //$dn contain information asked by Windows server to browse the correct AD tree.
       //Here I want to browse all Users in the LDAP AD
       $dn = "CN=Users,DC=my,DC=server, DC=host,DC=com";
       /*I search email, groups and the name of the user
         *We can have many information about a user,
         *you can see all of them with removing the last argument in the ldap_search
        */
       $result = ldap_search($ressource, $dn, "samaccountname=".$myLogin, array("mail", "memberof","name"));
       //ldap_get_entries will return an array of all asked information
        $info = ldap_get_entries($ressource, $result);
        echo "
<pre>".print_r($info, true);
}catch(Exception $e){
        echo $e->getMessage();
}

I get a result like this :

Array
(
    [count] => 1
    [0] => Array
        (
            [memberof] => Array
                (
                    [count] => 1
                    [0] => CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=my,DC=server,DC=host,DC=com
                )
 
            [0] => memberof
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [count] => 1
                    [0] => Userfirstname Userlastname
                )
 
            [1] => name
            [mail] => Array
                (
                    [count] => 1
                    [0] => user@host.com
                )
 
            [2] => mail
            [count] => 3
            [dn] => CN=Userfirstname Userlastname,CN=Users,DC=my,DC=server,DC=host,DC=com
        )
 
)
