I have a flash file located on a web server. When it's loaded, I want it to access the user's PC and display some data (such as file directories, files, etc)I know there are security rules about what a flash player can access, but so far all I can seem to find are rules regarding local flash players accessing the internet, but not much on the other way around, or how do go about doing that.
View 0 RepliesI have this situation (simplified):
MC-A.swf opened from local computer (C:/) and loads MC-B.swf which is hosted on a server.
When MC-B.swf is loaded, it tries to access file called "loader.swf" which is also on local computer (C:/).
When it tries to access the "loader.swf" I get the following error message:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file:///C|/loading.swf halted - not permitted from [URL]
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
I read discussions concerning this issue, and as I understood, I could use:
System.security.allowDomain("[URL]");
to solve this problem, but it didn't work.
I wouldn't like to change the loaded file to load it's resources also from the web, since it can find them on the local machine.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing an android file by using flash cs5 air extention. I know the basic crossdomain policy and server to server connections. And I searched many pages but there is no solution about this.
My "container.apk" loads "external.swf" from the server.. And I want to be able to reach the variables and functions in "container.apk" from "external.swf". But I can't reach any function on my container (application file .apk) from my external module swf (remote file).. I mean, I'm trying to reach container.apk's functions from the loaded swf. Like when a button clicked on "external.swf" it should effect a function in "container.apk".
Also here are some error codes that I'm getting ;

I have a problem when i try to access the internet from a swf that is run localy.I want to load other swf files from diffrent domains into my main file wich works fine when the swf is on some domain but when i download the file and run it localy it doesn't work.
Can i change the sandbox type from actionscript? Mochi Media does it after enctypting your swf but i don't know how.
I'm trying to load a local xml file:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:
#2148: Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.
In Flash user can give permission to localhost and even local html file to access remote webservice.I fail to see the same thing for Silverlight which is a nightmare for testing on local pc.

View 3 RepliesI've recently encountered a problem whilst coding when trying to upload local files to flash. With Flash Player 10 you can use the following code to load local files into flash.

This is not available in Flash Player 9 which is causing me issues as I only have a copy of CS3. All I need to do is retrieve a local jpg from the users computer and temporarily display it in my flash application. So to clarify, uploading to the server isn't required unless this is the only way to do this with Flash Player 9?

View 1 Repliesthe flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

Is it possible to access local swfs using a remote swf
View 1 RepliesThe reason Ordinarily I would just host everything on the server, the swf file and images and serve them out using something like apache. However, we're working with an embedded device with hardware limitations. So we thought we could avoid this by hosting the images locally on a cd.But Flash player moans about the security settings. I know a way to overcome this would be to give the user instructions to change the global security settings- hence allowing both network and local access. But we feel that this would be too much to expect the end user to do.We want our model to work out of the box so to speak. Or as best as possible.
View 1 Replieswithout explaining why, I need to run a flash slideshow from a live web page and it is for a photo exibition: The problem is that the slideshow, while running on a love site, must read the image files from the local computer that it is browsed from. If the computer is always the same and the files are in the same directory when it was developed, how would I tell flash that the files are not on the server, but on the local computer?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to access both network and local files, flash player 9/10?
Here is the situation:
I have an SWF which runs locally on the client's machine.
It communicates, via XML socket, to a C++ server.
It also needs to read some configuration files from the local file system...
c:config.xml <---> test.swf <---> C++ server
So I need the SWF to be fully trusted, as if it was ran from the Flash IDE.But I can't tell my clients to set it to be fully trusted using Adobe's Global Security Settings Panel
What I can do is alter my C++ server code, somehow granting permissions to the SWF.
Goal: to make possible to make requests from flash running on local protocol (widget://, file://, chrome-extension://) without any special permissions on [URL]
Supposed solution: proxy swf file loaded in page with widget:// or file:// or chrome-extension:// protocol which loads into itself swf file located on http server. local swf bridge conects its own external interface to http swf file external interface.
This solution used in youtube movies, so you can embed any youtube movie into local page and it will be shown and played fine;
At the end we can get working soundmanager2 [URL] opened localy (file:// protocol), which can load and play music and video from internet. I need proxy for this version [URL]
Some relative [URL] How do I call a Flex SWF from a remote domain using Flash (AS3) ?
I need this to play music in opera extension (using widget:// protocol) for my project [URL] to let users play music without setting up special permissions
I am having no success playing a short FLV through a SWF on my hosted web site. The video plays without problem on my local PC. This problem only occurs with SWF and HTML created with Flash CS5. With Flash CS3 the problem does not occur. The only difference I see between CS5 and CS3 files is this: There is a file called AC_RunActiveContent.js created with the SWF and HTML through CS3. But that file does not exist with the SWF and HTML created through CS5. Since the video plays on my local PC, I assume that AC_RunActiveContent.js is not required for newest version of Flash player. My web host provider assures me that MIME settings are correct and Window 2005 is the operating system. I am at my wits end trying to determine the cause and fix for this problem. Please give me some advice for resolution.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
We have a very large SWF hosted in a website which is just a repository of hundreds of movies/symbols. We load this SWF at the beginning with the Loader class but then the client will access a very few of them at that moment. Is it possible to tell the loader to download symbols only when they're needed? (as with applicationDomain.getDefinition(...)).

I am trying to access a FTP server that allows anonymous access to the data files stored on the server.. they are stored as txt files... I want to display some of the files in a flash CS4 Movie... It is also on a HTTP server directory...
I have accomplished it within the CS4 Flash development application using the HTTP Server but when I publish the document it gives me a blank stage the data that shows in the Test Movie swf is not showing when the SWF is on its own... I am thinking it has something to do with crossdomain security that is built in... is there a way I can accomplish this? I prefer the FTP access but will use the HTTP access...
Here is the AS3 I am using...

I am creating an interactive post-it for an upcoming event that allows for us to tap into a sql database and post tweets, survey answers and images. We've already tapped into the Twitter API and the survey, so those are A-OK.The problem lies within loading the images from a location other than the local interactive board's server.If the image itself is locally hosted, it loads just fine.If the image is hosted elsewhere, the image will not load, even though I have a trace on the URL of said image.I'm loading all tweets, surveys and images through an XML load and all the data is loading properly.I AM loading the image through a smoothing filter so that when the "post-its" are slightly rotated, they are not jagged. Here is THAT code:[code]
This is a two part script where the bulk loads in the image and places it into an empty movieclip, then adds the smoothing filter. The second part is a resizer that automatically resizes the image and keeps the aspect ratio.When I test the flash piece (not embedded in HTML) the thing works 100%.As soon as I put the swf into an html and view it on a web page, the remote images will not load.I'm a bit stumped on why this is, could this be a firewall or security issue? Because I work in a high security firewall environment.
Especially in the case where there's multiple swfs (wrapper & content), and then lots of child classes within the content swf, how do you handle pathing changes between testing locally versus deploying live?I've used a few different methods ('DEBUGGING' Boolean with path variables changing depending on true/false; config.xml file loaded with pathing defined within), but all seem the have weaknesses that make it a real pain to workwith/around....especially when you're using the same swf in multiple places and the pathing is all relative to the HTML page that embeds it. :/
View 4 Replieshow to load files to a Flash site Dynamically from a remote server. The first part was showing how to load a .txt file.
I have created a dynamic test field and give it an instance name of myTextArea. Then I uploaded the .txt file to my server in a testing folder.

Really puzzled by the flaky behavior of LocalConnection. Using a debug utility(LuminicBox) that uses localConnection to work.
When the page containing the swf is loaded in a browser locally , localConnection works.
When the identical page and swf are viewed 'live' on a remote site, localConnection fails.
I tried to deploy my otherwise working flex app on a web server (tomcat 6).It threw a Channel.Security.Error.After some research, I became aware that flash movie loaded from flash_movie_domain will not be able to load resource from any other domain.Some suggested adding a crossdomain.xml.However, the crossdomain.xml route doesn't quite make sense.In this case, I am loading resources from a third party web site.My understanding is that I need this third party website to include a crossdomain.xml on their root directory in order for app to function.The third party web service is provided as is. I will not be able to change what's given. Since the third party is providing public access, it already explicitly give permission to the general public. Adding a crossdomain.xml to their root seems to be a redundant act?
