I have CS3 movie that opens links to other sites.It works fine when publshed to the web server but when I test it locally (opening it from my own files) the links don't work - is this a security settings issue? I tried opening settings manager and "allowing" files for that file location but it didn't fix it.

View 1 Repliesi have a "swf" file which is picking url from xml & displaying the image, when i tested it locally it works fine, which means it picks up URL from XML & displaying corresponding image. After i uploaded it on server, it doesn't show anything.
View 2 RepliesI've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
Everything works fine when I'm testing it locally and sending the variables to the live PHP file online, but as soon as I upload it, everything just kinda goes to hell and nothing gets sent through. I know Flash just changed its security settings to not allow loading from external sources, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference since everything (including the PHP file) is under the same domain. I've put the crossdomain.xml file in there, as well, but still to no avail. My code to send things is pretty simple:
ActionScript Code:
loadVariablesNum("mailto.php"+"?name="+name+"&email="+email+"&message="+message+"&to="+to+"&recipient="+recipient, 0, "POST");
I'm having a bit of trouble with a Flash/PHP voting system. Basically, it's using a loadVars object to send a simple Number variable to a PHP file that connects with a database and returns.
But for some reason, I can only get the votes to count when I test locally with an absolute path to the PHP file on the server. When I put it live, it will read the PHP file but doesn't seem to be able to send the voting data to it. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
//----- On load data function -----//
var dataIn:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code].....
Like I said, everything works fine in local testing, but when I put it live, the votes don't get counted, whether I use an absolute or a relative path to the PHP file on the server.
So I have an incredibly simple tool that shows some updates from an XML file...In the swf, there is a button that triggers a refresh for the XML file... it works fine locally, but not online...
Code:
stop();
btnRefresh.label = "Refresh";

I've got an RSS feed coming into my flash site. When I test this locally its all good, everything works fine, I can see the RSS feed and everything. But now when I test online, I can't see any RSS, nothing. Its just blank. Any idea why this might happen?
View 12 RepliesIn my Flex app, I need a Javascript control to call one of my Actionscript methods. Simple enough, according to the Flex/Actionscript documentation, I wrote this in my Actionscript code:
if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setName", setNameInActiveWindow);
In the Javascript control I wrote:
document.getElementById('FlexAppId').setName(name);
Works great. Exactly as expected, so I went to production. But it doesn't work in production :(. Same exact code... I can't figure it out. The above Javascript code is run, but the callback is not executed in the Actionscript code.

I recreated this example of using Base64Image but it does not work when ran locally, only when I load it from a web server. Is this expected and can it be done so that it works locally?

I'm working on an email form contained in a separate .as file coded in AS3 with a php file. Everything is working just fine when I test it through Flash, having my swf + my .as file locally and my php file online. As soon as I move all my files online, I submit the form, press my send button, see in the bottom screen of my browser than it seems to be a transfer, but nothing happen, no error message as written in my code...i'm just stuck. Here is parts of my codes.

I have one .swf that loads a second one on level 2.level 2 then in turn loads variables from a text file .The problem is that it works locally, but refuses to work on the server. The urls are all local. This is such a simple procedure, I can't figure out what is wrong..... are there limitations doing this via server vs. locally? I never get any "file open" errors locally. I've spent 2 hours on this.... I'm just using a simple LoadVars similar to this example:
Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("text3.txt");

I want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.

I am a newbie to Flash. I am working on a template website with a deadline. I was able to change the text, remove items I did not need and add some additional text.....but I cannot get any of the links in either of the two top flash animations (the menu and the header) to work. I am using Flash CS4 (and Dreamweaver CS4). I have tried to add a link to the text, and in the AS. But then they do not seem to be working at all
View 1 Repliesi have created some flash banners with a url embedded in them, so when they are placed on a web page the banner links through to my website when clicked. Fairly simple.But, i tested them on a website on my server to link to another website on the server and they worked fine. When i gave them to a client to embed on their own website (the flash files are hosted on my server still), the links no longer work.
Is this a security issue to stop the links working? i also checked it in linux and the banners worked, but in windows they do not. I dont want the client to have their own local copy of the flash file, as i may update it in the future and dont want to chase up lots of different copies everywhere.

My website links and 2 out of 6 pdf's don't load when I test the movie in Dreamweaver.As far as I can tell everything is correct and all of the names are correct.Each button has an instance name and has been modified.Are there any other possibilities? Here is a sample of the script
menventures.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menventuresurl)
function menventuresurl (evtObj:Event):void {var menventures:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://menventures.com/");flash.net.navigateToURL(menventures, "_blank");trace("The menventures button was clicked");}
I have 6 buttons, for some reason only the first button(my_home) works

function myBtnClicked1(e:MouseEvent):void {var url:String = "http://www.weedwarriors.co.uk/";var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

I have several external SWFs loading into another SWF shell that contains all the files. The problem that I am running into is when some of the external SWF's are loaded into the shell the links stop working. I am using the getURL script to call a javascript function on one link and the same getURL on another link to call the mailto function.
When I test these files on my system and the web, both individually and in the shell, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as I embed the shell SWF into an html page these links don't work and won't do anything. But other links in different external SWF using the getURL script to simply navigate to another html page works perfectly.
My problem is that I just recently start working on the company website. They a have menu bar on the side of the website. Some of the links dont work. Where would I find the hyper links in the file to change them to make them work?
View 5 RepliesI have built a site for a client using AS2 which contains links to streaming mp3s. The audio loads and runs just fine in Safari but malfuntions/doesn't even play in other browsers.
Here is the site in question: [URL].. I'm hoping that one of you lovely gurus out there can help me resolve this problem. If needed, I can supply the .fla.
I am building a website through flash. For the past couple of weeks all of the links have been working fine up until now. I have no idea what I could have possibly done to make this happen. In HTML none of the links work. They are all linked up fine, I even re-linked some of them. Nothing happens. The buttons do nothing.
View 7 RepliesI use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.

Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)

Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.
I created a flash movie and published it to get the html file and the swf. The html file works fine on my local computer that I created it on but I went to email the html file with the swf file, the links within the movie are not working?
