With a looming deadline for a big project, I've just wasted an entire evening trying to find out why my application won't properly load image content when the .swf is deployed to a web server.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
- load a jpeg image from a different domain than where my .swf's are hosted
- turn it into a Bitmap object to apply smoothing
Loading the jpeg itself is no problem, as long as I do this:
[AS]addChild(loader);[/AS]
As soon as I try to access loader.content, or loader.contentInfo.content to create a Bitmap, Flash simply aborts the script.So there you have it: a typical security sandbox violation (although no error is ever thrown). Solution: crossdomain.xml! Or that's what I thought.Now the image host has a crossdomain.xml in it's root, with *.rocketclowns.com as an entry. I'm testing my app from www.rocketclowns.com.Even if I try to force load the policy file:
[AS]Security.loadPolicyFile()[/AS]
Or, with LoaderContext:
[AS]// create a loader context that
// checks for policy files
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
// use the context with your call to load
myLoader.load(request, context);[/AS]
I want to create flash banner with XML content, and host it on my site with crossdomain.xml, and then share banner code with other sites for banner exchange.So, everything is on my server.Will loading banner, on other sites, load XML from my server, if both banner and XML resides on the same server, but banner is loaded on the other site?
I have a FMS 3.5 running a VOD service (on-line training based on videos) on what I call a "streaming server". The client loads the Player from a secure (separate) domain, and the Player then requests the SMIL files from the webroot of the Apache server (part of the FMS installation. The Player then starts the video which is streamed dynamically.
In order for the Player to get the SMIL files, it is making a crossdomain.xml request to the Streaming Server. When it get the response, it continues the process. PROBLEM: Sometimes, the crossdomail.xml response from the Streaming Server is SEVERELY delayed, with perhaps 5 minutes. So the end user experience is that it does not work.
I improved the situation by opening up more ports on the Windows Firewall of the Stremaing Server (now open for 1935,80,443,8134) and it works say 90%+ of the times. But there are still occations when there is no response.
I have recently uploaded my flex applicaiton on server, it works fine on my system (localhost) but on the production server it tries to access[URL]..which is not available and end up showing "loading" eternally.
I have allowFullscreen set to true. I even have allow script access to always... I just cant seem to get my movie when loaded to go right into fullscreen.
PHP Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("countdown.swf"); loader.load(urlReq);
Flash CS4 / AS3 project Everything is set up properly, including publishing (naturally) but Flash blows past every script in the actions layer, including simple one-line stop(); scripts.
I have the following divs and I'm trying to make the iframe layer infront of my_flash. It's a common problem and I've read through all the solutions I could find and still I'm getting issues in IE8. I'm using SWFobject by the way.
i'm trying to add whitespaces in front of my text, but flex removes all but one whitespace from the text. So i can't format the text.
Here is the specified line:
<s:p> - Lorem</s:p> <s:p> ipsulum</s:p>
Here its shown correctly but when running the swf it reduces the whitespaces of the second line. Of course i tried to use CDATA but this didn't work too.
a few days ago i have started running across various errors and glitches in the app i am developing, and after a lot of time found out the following fact:
just as the title reads, flash started ignoring changes i make to classes i use, as if it has an internal cache of imported classes and refuses to check for changes. it notices when i remove class from directory, it notices when i comment out a whole function, BUT if i comment out the contents of all of the functions, leaving just their declarations, flash executes them "perfectly" well. where does it takes their contents from? how to delete the cache?
while trying to save a class at a certain point when i was dealing with this, i got a "sharing violation" error, that told me i cant save it.
I have a simple C# program that, when a user clicks on a button, opens a new frame with an activex flash object embedded in it. The code I use to open it is the following :
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form f = new Form();
[code]...
The test program has been run by several user, without any problem, except for one, that sees this:
I don't think that the problem is in the application itself, but in the flash player. So, the question is, what am I missing? Are there flash settings that force the window to have the default size?
I have a flash file that loads in a external swf. That swf contains a form that I want to control the tab order on. The external swf has form fields in it, and I have their tab indexes set. When I hit tab, flash ignores the flash index, and focuses on some of the navigation elements of the parent .swf. What am I doing wrong?
I have a symbol in the Library with a Base Class that extends the MovieClip Class and adds some additional functionality. I want to be able to export this from the Library by right clicking on the symbol and selecting Export SWF. I was hopping this would essentially give me the same results as if the symbol contents was on the main timeline and I had declared the Base Class as the Document Class. When I import this SWF using the Loader Class it seems to loose all of Base Class functionality and think of itself as a MovieClip.
Looking at the below sample code, the alpha property is correctly set but the param1 getter is unaccessible. What the hell is going on?
I have run into a strange and annoying problem since updating to Flash Professional CS5.5 on my work computer.Sometimes, seemingly randomly, Flash stops compiling things correctly. I Test Movie by hitting Cmd+Return and it just displays what's on the stage, frame 1. The document class is never initialized, no errors at all, no trace statements print out; it acts as if there is no code at all. After this happens once, it will continue to do this until I restart Flash, which fixes the problem. However, restarting Flash every 10 - 15 minutes is very annoying.It seems to happen regardless of what project I'm working on or what state the project is in (i.e. if the code contains errors or not). All of our projects use external AS3 classes (no code on the timeline).
I am having a lot of trouble while syncing my Flash Builder Actionscript project with Subversion. I have read that the output folders bin, bin-debug and html-template should not be checked in to the repository. The project bin folder contains a lot of XML files and assets that other project members needs to access. The problem is that Flash builder ignores it.
Is there a way of setting up Flash Builder to override the ignored bin folder? If not, what other approach should I consider? Different folder structures?
/src (commited) /bin (ignored) /swc (commited)
I would really like to override the default "DO NOT COMMIT YOUR DEPLOY FOLDER" setting. Bounty it is.
I am trying to print a string with html formatting. Part of the formatting includes font face. I have found that my print job will not print any string that includes a font face declaration. I'm guessing because the font isn't embedded, but I'm not positive.
This works: string = "<b>bold</b> not bold";
Doesn't work: string = "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">this is my string</font></p></textformat>";
How can I get around this. I need the ability to print any font on a users computer.
I'm building a flash app that will go full screen. I need to ensure it's usable at a variety of resolutions.I can overlay them fine, but the problem is I now can't interact with the app, because when I click on some part of the UI, it thinks I'm clicking on the image, since it's technically in front. I want the image to be in the front at a visual level, but without it having any bearing on the keyboard/mouse interaction with the app.My fall back is to create a series of 1pixel wide lines, which will still be in the foreground mouse/keyboard wise, but I can cope with losing that much interaction ability.
The graphics object I am using has it's alpha value set to 0.1.
When these points are plotted iteratively, and the line being drawn overlaps another line drawn earlier, there is no visible change in the colour at the intersection.
If I draw the line differently, not using an array of points, the alpha is not ignored.
ActionScript Code: public function render(e:Event):void { if (segmentsCollection.length > 0)
[Code].....
This all occurs on each ENTER_FRAME event until the array is emptied.
I have tried loads of options but the alpha is always ignored.
I have a (self-created) swf demo with button triggering getUrl('SampleTargetPage.html')Now I want to place the swf at our cdn at [URL] while my html page resided on [URL]More structured:
[URL]
I thought it would be sufficient to provide a crossdomain.xml at cdn.example.com to allow the links work. But: it seems like the Flash plugin never queries the crossdomain.xml at all!Now, is there something which I must add in the SWF itself to make this work?
edit: do I need to use Security.loadPolicyFile?
edit: Maybe I don't need the crossdomain.xml at all because everything's under [URL]?
I have a web service running in http://server/abc/service which is being accessed by Flash from a different domain. I deployed a cross domain policy file to http://server/abc/crossdomain.xml and made the Flash load it using: flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile("http://server/abc/crossdomain.xml");
in the constructor of the main movie clip. However, when the Flash starts, it requests and loads this file (observed in Firebug), but then it also requests it from the root of the server (i.e. from http://server/crossdomain.xml) which does not exist. Subsequent HTTP requests don't work reporting security cross domain errors. When I put the policy file to the root of the server, it all works. Why does it request the policy file from the root as well even thought it loads it from the subdirectory? Why the subdirectory policy file is not enough?
I should also note that the two policy files are loaded before any application HTTP requests are issued.
I am trying to connect to a socket server from flex. I read, on adobe's documentation, the client automatically sends a "request-policy-file" xml element to the socket before allowing it to be opened, and should receive a policy file.
The client sends the xml element as expected, My server receives it (on the port I want to use, port 6104) and replies on the same port with:
I am trying to build a youtube player with flash and everytime I load a video, there is a runtime security sandbox error..I already put crossdomain.xml in my root serverbut I am still getting the errors...Do I miss something? Do I have to load it into my flex project?
<!-- <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy>
I have updated the crossdomain.xml security settings for my site - but it seems that the older version is being cached in both IE and Chrome.I've checked the headers sent by the server and it's not sending any cache control headers that would be forcing the browsers to be caching crossdomain.xml.
In an attempt to get around the issue I've also linked to my crossdomain.xml file in an iframe on the site. This hasn't worked though and flash still seems to be using the old security settings.
How can I disable crossdomain.xml check when the executing swf has been loaded on localhost?
Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://localhost:2541/xxx.swf cannot load data from http://www.com/xxx.swf.
I want to assign full trust to the HTML5 web application running locally. I want to disable any crossdomain checks.
Some external servers do not provide crossdomain.xml for their hosted SWF files. I am running locally. I want to have full trust for debugging purposes.
How do I do that?
I will not consider AIR as it cannot be used from HTML5 application.
Adding the url "http://localhost:2541/xxx.swf" to "C:UsersArvoAppDataRoamingMacromediaFlash Player#SecurityFlashPlayerTrustu.cfg" did not help.
How do I set the flash crossdomain.xml file to only allow https ssl secured connections? I have this but I think this will allow non secure connections too.
The player loads a flv video file seeon.flv from another domain.Currently, even without a crossdomain.xml in the server where seeon.flv is located, the video is loaded fine.This is not the behavior I want or expect it to be.I also tried putting a crossdomain.xml with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy> <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="none"/> </cross-domain-policy>
From firebug, I could see that there's a request to the crossdomain.xml before accessing the video file (seeon.flv).It returns the content fine , with the Content-type of application/xml, but it still allow the cross domain behavior.
I am developping this video player: In the exemple above, the player is loading this start image, to display it before the playing of the video:Here, I then tell the player to load the same image, but on another domain: As you can see, it doesn't work anymore. I searched on Google and discovered that I theorically had to add a crossdomain.xml, to make sure that there isn't security protection that avoid swf to load images from other domain. so put these two files on my different domains, to tell the swf to accept files from all * domains
I'm building a Flash based RSS reader, to be run on a kisok, but it's getting tripped up by crossdomain issues. In the abstract: SWF loads local TXT file containing paths of remote RSS feeds (XML files), then loads the feeds stored at those remote paths.
[Code]...
I was under the impression that an single asterisk/wildcard in quotes would mean any domain could access content on that server. But it's not working that way. I've tried changing the Publish Settings to "Access Local Files Only," and "Access Network Only," to no avail. I've also tried adding all of the relevant files to the trust list in Macromedia's Global Security Settings page.
