Is there any way via Actionscript that I can have a swf determine what URL it's hosted under? For instance, if I put my swf on this site, I want it to behave one way and on another behave completely differently. Make sense?
View 7 RepliesI have a SWF hosted on a https enabled domain and amfphp installation on the same domain. Now when i let user embed the swf on his on http page, i intend to send some data to amfphp without user seeing it. However i see that firefox with firebug plugin catches the post data easily. How is this happening ? Adobe documents say that if a swf is hosted in https and destination is also under https, its suppose to be secure?

I created a swf embedded on a web document and hosted on our local server. I have no problem previewing and playing it on flash player 10 but whenever I attempted to play the same swf in flash player 9 I'm getting a popup security warning. I went ahead and registered it on the Adobe website but still with no success.

View 4 RepliesHere is the external swf loader that is commonly used and which I used
ActionScript Code:
var xpos:Number = 4;
var ypos:Number = 4;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var presvid:URLRequest = new URLRequest("presentation/presentation.swf");
loader.load(presvid);
loader.x = xpos;
loader.y = ypos;
addChild(loader);
The presentation.swf file plays well when I test the movie, but when I upload it to the internet to say swfcabin.com or deviantart, etc or any site which supports swf, the presentation.swf file doesnt play.
I have an external preloader that loads the game that's hosted on And let's also say that game is amazingly ridiculously popular that it exceeded the monthly bandwidth limit of my free hosting plan on that server and my account gets suspended. Then what will happen when the Loader object calls load (new URLRequesI'm planning to upload a game to a distribution website and they strongly encourage that the games be contained in one single swf. But trying to do a internal preloader is shortening my lifespan.So I plan to maybe have the game swf hosted on multiple servers and if the primary server fails due to heavy traffic or the account got suspended then the player can choose to load from a different server. I'm pretty sure that's possible..
View 2 RepliesI've embedded a virtual tour on one of my client sites.
The site is hosted by Slicehost, and as you can see the load times for the Flash movies are very slow, so my idea was to serve the swf files from Amazon S3 Europe.
To test it, I have all swfs uploaded to the same directory / bucket on Amazon, while the index.html and p2q_embed_object.js files reside on my local machine. The js file is changed to refer to the Amazon-hosted swfs. The first swf loads fine, but the others don't. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this that would allow me to serve my Flash assets from elsewhere?
How can I programatically make a picture of a flash application in an ASP.NET/C# page which is hosting the flash application?

We are writing a new social app that connects to FB using FB connect (actually, it's in Flash so we're using the FB AS3 SDK, which uses the FB Javascript API under the hood AFAIK).
When the flash app is served from our site - it works fine.But when we try to embed it in a 3rd party site (using an Iframe that points to our site) the following happens: when we try to perform a login to FB using the AS3 function Facebook.login(onLogin, opts), a small browser-based login to FB pop-up comes up, but it has the following error first
Or is it possible that FB don't support FB connect apps that are embedded in 3rd party sites?
I want to create a custom video player to modify the skin of the play controls etc but still host the videos on youtube.The youtube api allows for minor colour adjustments but not full customisation.

View 3 RepliesI made a quick flash document for my friend who posted it his MySpace. The document has 3 buttons, each with a URL attached to them. When I play the SWF file locally, the links work fine, however once it's published to MySpace, the links refuse to work. The hand icon comes up so it understands them at least as buttons, but it seems to do nothing when clicked in the web-browser. Also, I can open the SWF in my browser and it also works fine.
I'm using Flash CS5 and working in ActionScript 3.0.The three buttons are on one layer called "Buttons". I right click the button and click "Actions". From there, I click the "Code Snippets" and under the folder "Actions" there is an item called "Click to Go To Webpage". Here is the code it gives you by default:
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
}
I heard there was a problem with MySpace not allowing action scripts, and after checking the source code, the value is set to not allow action scripts. I don't think it's a browser issue, since it's working fine when I execute the SWF by itself, and when I load it into Firefox. It's just seems MySpace is having a problem with it.
i need a webpage (host on my website) that can play the following mp4 file either via silverlight 4 or flash[URL]..i tried various solution like flowplayer and silverlight but none of them work with the URL above. I can play the file fine using Windows media player or VLC.

We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble. I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle. I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering. Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc. I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time.
