does anybody know if disabling the security question in the flash player is ok? I need to know the exact facts by reference whether it is ok or not. I found some answers to this but they were assumptions but nor rigid. for instance a reference to Adobe's documentation that says any workaround is illegal.

View 1 RepliesI use a laptop which is never connected to the web for customer demos away from base. It does not have the Flash authoring environment installed either. Furthermore, a customer's own system used to run development versions of web sites using HTML with Flash content is not guaranteed to have web access either. Because some of the associated FLV files are quite large, uploading to a web host for such testing is not really viable even where clients have web access at meetings.
I have an AS3-based project which triggers Flash 10 local security protection on systems other those that used for authoring, for which the workaround is to set the source folder as trusted using the Flash Player Settings Manager. but [URL] doesn't seem to offer a useful way to avoid this problem without going on line to the Flash Player Settings Manager via an Adobe web site.

I have a hidden swf which needs to run in full framerate. Although it is documented that the "sleep mode" due to which flash player goes into 4fps is only for mobile devices. I see that when my swf is not displayed (hidden or in a different tab", I can only get events in multiples of 250ms. Is there a way I can disable this feature for my swf? I can see that this is a great feature, but I just need to disable this for my app.
View 6 RepliesI am building a photography web site with flash and I found a really cool slide show extension plug in (www.slideshowpro.com) were can easily upload and update my portfolio slide shows.when I publish out to HTML, I test it in a browser and I get this warning when I click on the photography page.I read in adoby help and it said flash developers can allow communication between sites with this AS code Security. allowInsecure Domain ("nathan44. slideshowpro.com");so I added this code to my actions layer on the firs frame in "scene 1" and to the actions layer in the photography section. But nothing changed i still get this warning when ever I publish out to an HTML, when I just preview with control + enter i can view the sideshows fine.

Alright so I'm making a website for my friends band, and they want to have a music player to play their MP3's. One of the things I'm concerned about though, is the security of the MP3 files. Their albums are on iTunes to buy, so I'm looking for what the best option to have the MP3s be played but not be able to be downloaded and saved.The best thing I can think of is embedding the MP3's inside a Flash music player, but that would be more work than it's worth it seems.
View 2 RepliesI've been reading about the security restrictions for file uploads in Flash Player 10.According to the FileReference docs for upload(), the upload does not have to be triggered by a user-initiated action (the browse() does, but that's another story). If it did, that would force an awkward user experience for multi-file uploads, since only one upload can occur at once -- so the user would have to click (or press a button) once per file to initiate the upload, but only when the previous file had finished uploading.

View 0 RepliesThis Adobe Flash Player Security box is really getting in my way. I have a button that acts as a lind to a web page It has this bit of code programmed to it:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCli ck);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://...");
navigateToURL(req);
}
Can anyone tell me if calling navigateToURL() causes this security box to appear every time if you havent trusted this .swf in your flash settings? i have looked at a way to handle the "link" with javaScript but before I get too deep into something I'm not too familiar with I wanted to see if there was a way to here within flash while avoiding the flash security box.

View 4 RepliesProblem: Users of our web app are complaining how hard it is to get past Flash Player's Security Panel when they want to make video calls. (Personally, I don't see why it's hard.) We tried several things to guide them through the process, including callouts pointing to the Security Panel area with specific instructions and even an auto-play video. But still some don't get it. I think the biggest confusion is the "Close" button. Users think that it will close the app or the entire window.
Solution #1: It's possible that part of the problem is the small size and styling of the Security Panel.Is it possible to apply a style or skin to the Security Panel, so that it's larger and looks more consistent to our web app?
Solution #2: Perhaps there's also a non-technical solution. Has anyone seen a good implementation of a web app that make it easy for non-technical users to make video calls?
I am developing a player and I want to make it for only one domain usage for one download. If user needs again then again hew needs to download another version from my site. How can I make it.
View 1 RepliesI have some Flash application that loads data (external images, SWFs, XMLs) from the same domain. And it was fine until client decided to add load balancers for server. Now we have a number of complaints from users about security errors. It looks like application can't load external resources treating them as resources from different domain without crossdomain.xml.
One of users that have this problem provided us with following info:
Browser: IE 8.0
OS: Windows 7
Flash Player version: 10.1.102.64
I have spoken with server administrator and he told me that we have load balancers that work like Round-robin DNS. In its simplest implementation Round-robin DNS works by responding to DNS requests not only with a single IP address, but a list of IP addresses of several servers that host identical services. The order in which IP addresses from the list are returned is the basis for the term round robin. With each DNS response, the IP address sequence in the list is permuted. Usually, basic IP clients attempt connections with the first address returned from a DNS query so that on different connection attempts clients would receive service from different providers, thus distributing the overall load among servers.
Finally we have: SWF loaded from IP1, data requested from IP2, crossdomain.xml loaded from IP1. All of them can be accessed through the same domain, but have different IPs.Because of IPs difference, Flash Player ignores crossdomain.xml and triggers security error.I'm not sure it happens exactly like that, since for older versions of Flash Player I have found the following words:
The basis of domain comparison is the domain name, not IP address.
So, I have two questions after all of that: How exactly domain comparison for HTTP-connections works in latest versions of Flash Player? Can two resources obtained by address with same domain name but from different IPs treatened as obtained from different domains? Maybe someone have info about DNS rebinding in different browsers?
is there any way, to hide the source of a flash in the sourcecode, so that the movie itsself is not downloadable, or better not to copy?
View 1 RepliesI guess this is more a question about PHP and MYSQL, but since Im using flash as the interface, I wanted to know if anyone knew this. Is it possible for someone to basically trigger one of my php documents that inserts variables to the Database through an swf ran outside my server? I know for example flash has a security feature built in to prevent flash from loading xml files from server to server. If anyone knows more about flash security issues and tips let me know

View 1 RepliesI am trying to put together a simple game and have been doing really well until I decided I am going to have to create a new class to handle enemies.What I have so far is a player walking around on random terrains and I am up to the point where I have placed x amount of enemies on stage at appropriate times. I have written their class which will hopefully eventually handle their behavior and it outputs simple trace("BOO!").
Where I face the problem is that I obviously would like to make these enemies follow the player to attack. But when I try to access the .x or .y attributes of the player, it throws an error: 'call to a possibly undefined property with static type Class'?I have tried accessing the .x using the following ways (where badger is my player instance and Main is my class definition within the properties of the FLA):
Main.badger.x
Main(root).badger.x
Stage.badger.x
I have also tried to access other vars and still nope..My class code is this:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.Stage

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?

View 2 RepliesI was wondering if any of the seasoned programmers are familiar with using security dongles to activate to use a software application. Can this concept be implemented for a flash application? Can AS3 support these type of devices? I would at some point like to apply this concept to some games that I am designing. These applications will be running local or on a lan network and will not be over the internet, if that matters.
View 1 RepliesIm sure this is a classic problem. I am doing a flash project for a client.
This flash movie (lieing on Server A) calls an XML file on a totally different server (Server B). HOWEVER, it never reaches this xml file (although it reads the xml correctly when the flash is run on my computer). But to get it to run on my computer, I had to go into the global security panel and add the location of the SWF.
Now I tried everything to get the XML loaded on the SWF which lies on Server A. I went into the global security panel and added the folder on Server A containing the SWF, and the folder on Server B containing the XML file. However, it's still not working.
I'm trying to use the Youtube Chromeless Player (the new AS3 version) in a Flex 4-based project. I'm using the examples provided by Google, but I'm not having any luck. The player loads, but it can't be interacted with. I'm receiving repeated security errors just from mousing over the player:

I've been at this for a few hours now, and haven't had any success. I also can't seem to find any working examples online. Is this new player just not compatible with Flex 4?
I have a mobile YouTube API-centric project nearly done. The last view is a component that is a player, naturally, and Flash is not diggin' the security issues at all. Violations ..... And I am passing my developer key in every call too! So what is the deal with simply loading a video into chromeless player on Android that needs my security attention?
View 1 RepliesI have a flex application which collects data entered by the user and posts it off to a web service I have running on a back end server. The flex application does not authenticate users (it's available for anyone to use without setting up an account) and communicates to the web service using HTTPS. There is an XML firewall in place for preventing certain malformed requests, DoS attacks etc and the web service validates all data received from the client.
If I was to sign the content then I could use the XML firewall to verify the signature but I assume that any certificate type data I embed in the client could be extracted out of the flex app through some means of de-compilation. My question is, is there any way of limiting calls to the web service to only those from my flex client? I understand that a user could input bad information but I'm really trying to prevent another client or 'bot'.
i just want to ask if there's a way to avoid the trip to global security panel to access local .swf?
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a simple little test app consisting of 'main.as' and 'test.png', both within the same subdir on my harddrive. I'm compiling via command line with mxmlc, and testing via 'open with...' and Chrome. The code uses flash.display.Loader.load( "test.png" ) - but I can't access the loaded content (or even draw it to a bitmapdata!) due to security exceptions.
My goal is to get the image into something (preferably a bitmapdata!) I can draw to other bitmapdatas, as I understand this is fastest for gaming. I've tried all sorts of things, including creating a 'crossdomain.xml' that goes in the same dir as the above files (and doing the appropriate LoaderContext thing), tried various system.Security things and still no joy.
I'm pretty green with Flash coding, but I'm trying to disable the rollovers for my button MCs when they are on the page that they link to.I have all my listeners in functions such as:
function enableButton1()}function disableButton2()[code]....
Everything always works fine until I go from one page to the next.In other words, when it tries to re-enable Button1 I get an error no matter what method I try:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.[code].....
Everything in my fla file is internal.Nothing is externally loaded.So it's not an error with load() functions.
