How can i achieve that ? Help me please ?

Answer 1

You can't do this without generating a prompt for the user to allow for this content to load in some browsers. Doing this in general violates security of the https session.

Answer 2

You can communicate with BlazeDS securely regardless of how the Flex SWF was loaded into the broswer. It's entirely possible to embed your SWF in a web page laoded over http, then for that Flex application to communicate with BlazeDS securely.

The key concern is with BlazeDS. How your Flex SWF is loaded into the browser isnt important. Your Flex client needs to communicate with BlazeDS over a SecureAMFChannel. On the server side, you set up the Secure AMF channel to use either container based or custom authentication. The first time you use the channel, Blaze will send a response indicating the user needs to authenticate.
