I'm missing something obvious, but it's passing me. I can run the swf "offline" and the following script posts the correct information. However, if I run the swf "online" (ie. on my server). NOTE: website url and security usernames were removed for security reasons.

I spent probably 12 hours today trying to make this mp3 player work with my limited AS2 knowledge and finally got something that looks and works the way I want it to! Hooray! Except when I uploaded it, it didn't work anymore. Where the XML data is supposed to be, it just says "undefined." I've searched everywhere for an answer and am not finding anything that fixes it. I've tried moving the files around so they're in the same folder, renaming them, making the path absolute, using gskinner's XML2 classI don't know what else to do[URL]As I was writing this, the site on my desktop where I've been working decided it would load the xml after all...but my laptop is still not cooperating, so there's still something wrong. Maybe it's not loading the xml until the songs are all downloaded?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a flash website which uses a google map for a contact section and another one generated via external class for a projects section (for each one of the projects available there will be generated a map and a marker).This website uses SWFAddress and each of the projects receive SWFAddress dynamicaly via xml, pulling in the name of the project.The problem is when I test the website localy, on Flash IDE both the maps are loaded fine, but once I try it online on a webserver just the map on contact section is being loaded.I've tried to use a different key for each other -the contact section map key based on an url.Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because I'm using 2 maps on the same website? Is it because the url generated by SWFAddress is too long (I tried to generate a key based on something like URL...
View 0 RepliesI have made a game that sends and recevies data from an online leaderboard. It uses PHP and mySQL, and all works fine when running the .swf off my computer. The problem is, when the game is uploaded and running online, it fails to both receive and send the data to the leaderboard. I don't know why! When I first ran the game offline, a security box appeared that told me I had to allow it to access the server. So, I'm thinking it might be a security problem. Is there a similar security setting that I have to enable on the server somewhere? Or some code I can put to the game to override it? Note that everything is on the same server at the moment so I dont need any of that CrossDomain stuff, I think.

View 4 RepliesI'm making a 3d fly-through gallery, which is XML controlled, and loads in thumbnails, and then after loads in the images when you click on the thumbnails.Everything works fine when on my local hard drive, but after testing it on a website, it doesn't work.It loads the XML fine, but it never loads the images, or the thumbnails. The .xml file is in the same directory as the .swf, but the images and thumbnails are each in their own folders ("images" and "thumbnails").The funny thing is that it only does this when I tested it using Mozilla Firefox. I tried with Internet Explorer, and voila, it works magically!
I'm using the Loader class, and URLLoaders to load in everything, including the XML file, so it's either a thing about the different directories, or the fact that it's images...
So as I stated in this other post my MP3 Player is not loading online, but works perfectly on my local computer. I was messing around with files today and I finally got flash to give me an error. Could this be why the MP3 player does not load online? Here's the error: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null. at flash.text::TextField/set text() at Mp3Player_fla::MainTimeline/id3Handler()
By the way I have the MP3 on its own swf. Its being called by the main swf. If I place all the code into the main swf could it possibly work? That should'nt make a difference, but maybe because I'm loading large movies as the backgrounds and many other swf's at the same time, its messing it up?
I'm in the process of building a Flash Electronic Press Kit. Anyways, I converted a Video I had of him from WMV to FLV and then imported into Flash CS3. It played fine when I uploaded it to the server on the computer I had it on. But anyone else who looks at it has told me that they're stuck at the waiting screen for ages and It doesn't load at all. For reference it's located at [URL] under the tab Video.

I am attempting to use an online Flash file to communicate and pass data to a device linked to a client machine.I have got the Flash to work using sockets and when run from the same machine as the device it works fine.However, the flash file needs to be online and I need a way to allow the data to be passed. At the moment it won't connect to the socket on the client machine (I just get a connection failed message after about 10 secs) and I believe that this has to do with the security settings.
I am looking into Cross Domain Policy files as a way of securing the connection, but all of the information present suggests that these are only applicable to server machines. Can I put a Cross Domain policy file on the client machine that would allow the online flash to access one of it's sockets or will a CDP file on the server hosting the flash file be able to allow access to a client machines sockets?
i have some problem which i dont think of a reason why it happening. I have some Flash (swf) that send variables to aspx/aspx.cs page. the aspx files are on Web Server, when im testing the swf file local (on my computer) the variables are send and store in SQL. When im upload the swf + html file to Webserver (not on the same server when the aspx files) it does not working. i was tryin to upload the swf file to the same webserver where the aspx file and its working! when the swf on one server and the aspx on other server its not working...
View 3 RepliesI'm using LoadVars to load variable data into flash from a .txt file.Pretty simple - when uploaded onto a server, I can see the data loaded but no one else can, not even other accounts on my computer!Could this be a CHMOD permission problem?

View 2 RepliesI am getting the xml data in my flash envronment by Test Movie. But when uploaded it does not displays the data. Note that here I have not loading a physical file with .xml extension rather i am loading a url reference which creats an xml structure for this flash object to use.

I've created an extremely simple flash website. I need it to display some pictures and to keep the filesize down I want to load these images on demand. The images are hosted on my server in folders in the same directory as the website swf and the html file that initializes the swf.
I use the most rudimentary way of loading an image, it looks like this:
Code:
var loadStart:Loader = new Loader();
loadStart.load(newURLRequest("images/start/screenshotstart.jpg"));
startScreenshot.addChild(loadStart);
When I upload the website to the server it simply does not display the image, it's not loaded, the place where it's supposed to be is blank.
I've searched the site and there have been some threads with similar issues but the answers given just don't seem relevant. Something about cross domain policies, but all my images are on the same domain as the website swf.
Setup: I have an html page with an embedded flash object. The object is an "index.swf" with an empty movie clip on it. External swf's load onto the index swf via the empty movie clip when buttons are pushed.
Problem: On my test server in dreamweaver, the swf's load fine. When I put them on my server and test it online only the index swf loads. not the initial swf or any of the other swf's.

i am using flash 8 professional and making my portfolio site using xml with flash. when you click the red buttons on the right, thumbnails appear on the left (and when you click those, more thumbnails appear, and then you click those and the image appears.) on my machine it works properly, BUT when i upload it, the thumbnails appear and then erase themselves (all except the first two). it's inconsistent and totally weird. i changed some of the code, tried messing with the publishing settings, and re-uploaded and nothing changed. a friend who works at an actionscript company said it doenst make sense that it works differently on my machine than online. she also confirmed that the way i embedded the swf in the html is correct

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

In another function I have the following:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at DeltaMain/Text() at DeltaMain()
Now, the file pageDetails.xml does exist in the appropriate folder with the following, essentially identical to the above comment:
<PAGE name='index'> <DETAILS>This is the home page.</DETAILS></PAGE>
I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.
