ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Files Vs Access Network
Jul 2, 2010
My flash movie loads config.xml from the file system. Inside config.xml are urls and the base url to other xml files that I wish to load in to the flash movie.
These urls in config.xml are requested by the flash movie providing my flash movie with data. Again these are .xml files how ever they are being accessed using the network. EG " http domain dot com slash data dot xml"(i cant post links yet)
I know that I cant access both network and local files in the same movie so my question is this. What is the best way to pass in the base url dynamically to the flash movie so i can cut out config.xml?

The 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.

Is 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.

im testing out some AS3 and working on my first preloader. Ive run into the file access problem and looked about for a while and found that locally I can get files to load with the compiler flag -network=off. To put this online would I have to do a compile with the network on but with a Security.allowDomain("myDomain") line. Would this then work online so long as all the required files are in the same place.

In a plugin context (a swf loaded by an another swf), is there any way to restrict access to file system and network in the same time to the loaded swf?Compiler option "-use-network=true|false" does not fit because you cannot restrict both file/network.[code]The loaded swf is in user's document folder, outside Air app folder. Currently, the loaded swf is abble to load "c:/Windows/regedit.exe" and I don't want it (neither sending informations on the network).

I have a .flv file that has several images in it. However, I do not have the original images. There is an image in the .flv file that is a transparent image. How am I able to copy and paste it or do whatever I can to transfer it to photoshop so that I can save it as a transparent image?
It appears there is no way to do this. It looks like I must have the original images in a .flv.

I have my main file (Main.mxml), and I have a main AS file (main.as). main.as is included by Main.mxml via <fx:Script source="main.as"/>. In main.as, I want to change the currentState of Main.mxml. How would I go about doing this?
Things I have already tried:
this.parent.currentState = "c_main";
this.parentDocument.currentState = "c_main";
this.parentApplication.currentState = "c_main";

I am looking for a way to access contents from LMS within a Web Server by a AS3 based AIR App. I have e-learning courses setup up already in my LMS. People usually access these courses through their web browser, now I would like to create a AIR desktop App by using AS3 to access those courses in the LMS. What steps should I do in my AS3? Those course made by Flash. Is that possible that the completed AIR App can show up those courses through the AIR App instead of through web browser?

without 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?

I've written a content management system that writes(creates) xml files and uploads images to a directory outside of the webroot. I need to load these xml files into a flash application that resides within the webroot. The xml files contain tags that point to images that are used by the flash application.Having tested this successfully locally, I am using this directory structure:
/cms
/images
/xml/webroot

There is a web game that I play and I used fiddler to see what temporary files it downloaded. While I was playing I deleted all those temporary files including the sounds and flash files. But it didn't affect the game at all. Why is that? I checked in fiddler and it doesn't look like the files were redownloaded.

Just put our new site live, and having trouble with one of the swf files playing. Using the colorbox jquery plugin throughout the site and this works fine. However a movie on [URL] (qcf engine movie) gives out a repeated javascript 'Access is denied' error everytime you close the colorbox?? Perhaps because the swf file is hosted on amazon s3, although other movies are playing fine from S3,
Example: [URL]
And the error: [URL]

I 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.
