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.
View 3 RepliesIn 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).
View 2 RepliesMy 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?
I've got a Flash Banner worked with AS3.0. It loads XML and then load the Jpegs. At the beginning, the SWF accesses the files under the same directory. So the code goes like
[Code]...
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.
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.
I have the following scenario:
One application JEE / Flex 4 running on a tomcat, inside my Flex layer I have a iFrame passing a url to an ip of my internal network (http:url....) which is another application running within an industrial PLC.When access this app from within my internal network works fine, but when I try to access this iFrame to an external network in my home for example have a timeout error onhttp:[url].........
I believe this error occurs because the flex client is trying to run this url as I was in a internal network.Is there any way to run this url from an external network?
StackOverflow community,[URL].. used to launch AIR applications from Flex applications requires the use of an air.swf file located here:[URL].. We have tried to download this SWF and use it in our internal network, but it is not working, we depend on using the one located in the Adobe site.
Is there anyway to use this air.swf file without having to access the Adobe site?
I need to open media files from a network path like this "\drivefolderfile", is it possible, if yes how? else is there any other alternative?
View 1 RepliesI try to load a file over the local network with Loader Class but I get the error "URL Not Found". I use a path like this "file://///myPCnetID/pubilcFolder/pictures/mypic.jpg" which refers to a folder on the same PC I compile and run the Air flash file.
When I copy the adress into the browser the jpg-file ist displayed corretly.
I monitor (and log to server) most user errors in our flash game. Quite frequently I see security errors related to trying to make requests to a cross-domain URL (usually the Facebook Graph API). 99% of our players can make these graph API calls with no issues.What I think is going on is that the client makes a request, but fails to load the crossdomain.xml file. I don't quite know how AS3 handles this in the case of a failure to load the crossdomain policy file...will it retry for every URLRequest made until it succeeds in loading it, or does it just give up forever?
View 2 RepliesCurrently, I do serialize my model object to the SharedObject instance:
try {
var mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("sig");
mySo.clear();[code]....
Likewise, I load the saved model using the SharedObject instance. Works great.Ultimately, I'd like to serialize it to a file - which fails. Here is how:
var fp: File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
fp = fp.resolvePath( PREFS_FILENAME );
var _prefsStream:FileStream;[code]....
The complementing read operation suddenly breaks and reports missing bytes.In fact, I can't image how FileStream / _model.writeExternal() is able to serialize, since it needs to somehow know, that a new serialization operation is about to start. If it doesn't know, it won't be able to determine, which object instances are left to serialize.Thus, I image that my concept is completely wrong or I missed how to initialize the serialization operation.I'd be happy to read the raw ByteArray from the shared object and write it to a file. Unfortunately, I didn't find a method to retrieve from a SharedObject a ByteArray of a certain property, in my case mySo.data.model.My question is loosely related to this one: Why does delete( DictionaryInstance[ key ] ); fail?
I'm uploading an image file with upload() of a FileReference object however the network monitor in Flash Builder doesn't report anything. Is that normal behavior? A google search didn't return anything.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a web page that allows users to upload their own swf files to my web page, which are then used by the main web page as components. This creates a security issue though because I don't want the uploaded swf files to access other files on the server.
when the main webpage starts, it loads whatever third party swf files the user specifies. Is there a way for my main web page to change the security settings of the loaded swf so that the loaded swf is treated like it was loaded from another domain? Or is there another way I can provent these uploaded swfs from accessing local files on the server.
I am wondering if it is possible to use random file access for reading and writing data to file in Actionscipt 3.0 similar to that what is in Visual Basic?
View 1 RepliesHow to let my local running swf-file access a xml-file that is on a server?
I have been to the "Global Security Settings panel" but dont really understand.
I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0. Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following code snippet in main.swf file as shown below:
var textLdr:Loader=new Loader();
var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf";
var noteUrlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(noteUrl); textLdr.load(noteUrlReq);
addChild(textLdr);
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.Note: Here data represents values/data stored in variables/objects of main.swf file.

I have the need to change a variable in a child Flash file.
The setup is a parent Flash file, that has called a child Flash, and placed it in a movieClip.
I can send a variable using Javascript to the parent Flash file, but not directly to the child Flash file. Is there a way that I can access the child Flash file directly with Javascript?
Or do I need to send the variable to the parent Flash file, and then have the parent send the variable to the child Flash file? Is there a sort of dot notation that I can use with Javascript to get to the child Flash file without first accessing the parent, when the child is added to the parent using the loadClip function in flash?
We recently upgraded our network to Leopard and Flash to CS3,and since then, I can't publish to a network drive.The reason I need to do this is that we're on a network where all our project files are on the server, and we work directly from the server. With previous versions of Flash and the system, I was able to work on a Flash file on the server and publish or test to the same place. Now I need to copy my flash file to my local
computer in order to publish or test.If I try, I get this error: "Error creating Flash movie file.Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive.Also, check that the file name is not too long." Neither of those are the case.
I just installed FMS 4.5 w/ built in apache on Win2008R2 - accepting all defaults. Samples streams play fine when playing on the server. I copied the sample directory and put on a client on the network. I modified the stream URL using the server's IP address. I also modified the manifest files so that localhost was replaced with the server's IP. When I attempt to view in the sample player I get the following:
"We are unable to connect to the network.
I've recently started using FDT, for a while I was using FlashDevelop, it had a really handy feature in Compiler options where you can set UseNetworkServices to false which would stop the compiled swf from connecting to the internet and became very useful for running standalone flash apps without security warnings when loading in an external xml file etc.

View 1 RepliesI would like to list all network shares but have no idea where to even begin my search, I assume that it has something to do with Samba etc., but really some guidance would be very useful.
I will be using Adobe AIR 2.5 - so I assume I have access to that sort of information, though I will be using the PlayBook from BlackBerry to access the network which has a full AIR implementation.
What is the reason Flash Builder 4's Network Monitor does not support applications that were created using pure ActionScript and Library projects? It seems to work only for Flex projects.
