View 18 RepliesI am currently struggling with an error which is occurring on what should surely be the simplest of tasks. All I want to do is open a text file but I constantly get the following error: Error #2032: Stream Error
After searching the web for over an hour I just cannot find a solution to this problem. My conclusion is that I have a security issue and the error is occuring because I do not have permissions to access the file
The code is as follows:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
function dataChanged(event:Event):void

Depending on the viewers OS and presets, either Windows Gallery or a web-browser etc.. My movie is to small to show the images full-screen, and it's for a CD not web.

I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a radar image over a google map. The problem is, I'd like to load the image from a local file. I understand how to do this remoteley via a url, buit not from a local file. I've read something about embedding, but I don't know what embedding means. I'm going to need this image to change, and eventaully want to have a loop of images playing over the map. Below is what I have so far. You can see I've commented out the line with the url loading, and have a fail attempt at loading locally below it.[code]...

I am opening and testing data using the FileStream class which is supposed to avoid file security issues. It works fine until I try to save to a local file. When I test under adl I get a security error which I though was ok (at least it was attempting to save) until the app was packaged and tested on a device, but the file fails to save.

I've written a SWF in FlashDevelop (using the open Flex stuff) and use it to load up a bunch of image files.
[Code]...
Now, this works fine in the debugger environment with, say, funcA("test1.jpg"), but when I try and copy the files into another directory, I get security errors, something about it not being 'Local with trusted' or some such. I assume local file access is possible via Flash if the SWF is on the harddrive too, right? I did try adding a Security.allowDomain("*"); to see if that made a difference, but seems not. If local file access isn't possible, do I have to find a server to copy everything onto even for just testing stuff?

As you can see, the first trace statement outputs the xml file with the tags and all. The second trace statement outputs nothing. I did try uploading the xml file to a server, and then using [URL] as the URL for the URLRequest, but that didn't work either.
I created the parent .swf file, with buttons that open external .swf files. What I would like to do is save the parent file as .exe and have it open external .exe files.
