ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading IP's From XML / Load Balancing And Failover?
Oct 6, 2009
I have an xml file that contains the ip values (2) to our servers, what I want to accomplish is: 1st read the xml and grab those values, 2nd randomly select one of those ip's and create the rtmp://...path to play the video, 3rd if one of those servers is down then use the other one to play the video and 4th if all servers are down display some sort of message to try again later. I am reading the xml and grabbing those values, I am randomly selecting an ip and creating the rtmp://...path, but where I am having problems is playing the video from the other server. What's happening is that when it hits the box that is down and swithes to the other box it actually show the first frame of the video but it doesn't play. Here is my code in my .as file:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.video. *;
import flash.events. *;
[code]....

G'day chaps, me and my mates have purchased a copy of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition for use on our web project. Since we will be transmitting to large amounts of users through this exceptional piece of software, we will be needing to run more than one server at once. Before going ahead and doing anything against the policies we have decided to post here on the support forums and inquire about being able to run multiple copies of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition with one Serial KEY ( 10 x GigE dedicated servers ). If this is not possible, how can me and my chappies load balance all the traffic through one Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition.

I 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?

I am using FMLE 3.1, but I presume that any server side solution would support all encoders. A basic version of the problem would be where I have one server and two encoders (with the same video source over SDI). If one encoder fails I want to be able to deliver the feed from the second encoder, without having client side logic. Is this possible?
I would welcome a discussion on ways to provide improved resiliency in the live streaming environment. It is amazing that no out-of-box solution is available to provide such basic functionality.
Michael
BTW: I asked a similar question some months ago but got no answers. Apologies for bringing it up again, but this must be a fairly common problem, as anybody using FMS and FMLE will need some solution. I have tried the livestreamcast application, but had little success. It also appears to be for a much bigger scale than I have, requiring an all origin environment.

We are planning an implementation that would be setup as automatic failover in the event of a disaster. We only have two physical servers (Windows 2008 R2 based). What is everyone's suggestion? I read a lot about origin-only cluster and origin-edge clusters. It seems like origin-only cluster would work best for this type of fail over but I'm not sure. We would most likely use Microsoft network load balancer built-in on Windows 2008 R2. We have the option of using remote storage but could also do local storage. The types of streaming would be videos loaded to the server (not live). Let me know any suggestions to achive an automatic failover with two physical systems

I have a question regarding FMS 3.5 and live streaming with failover protection. Currently, we are running a single server with FMS 3.5 for our VOD and live streaming events and its been working great. Recently during our last live video stream the server decided to die and naturally the live stream was lost. To prevent such a future scenario from happening, and given that I am on limited budget what would be a best method of prevention. I saw there is limited documentation on setting up origin to edge, or two origin servers (more likely for us since we can maybe purchase one more server at this time) but I do not have access to make network/router changes etc. I do have full access to configure my Windows 2003 servers however.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.

I have an SWF that's 30MB. Sound files (music) make up 25MB, art and other things make up the remaining 5MB.
Would it be possible for me to load the 5MB of necessary art and other things first to allow the user to operate the app, then after that's all loaded and they are operating the app, load the remaining 25MB of sound files in the background?
UPDATE: Loading SWF (or other entities) externally is not an option.

check this out: [URL] this swf does use this code:
Code:
optredens = new LoadVars();
optredens.load("optredens.txt");
optredens.onLoad = function(){
_root.aankomend = this.aankomend;
_root.geweest = this.geweest;
}
as you see in the swf you first have to switch with "aankomende optredens" en "gespeelde optredens" before you can read the aankomende optredens text... why? i just want it to load immediately, so you can read it... without having to read "undefined"

I have a loading bar setup built with 2 objects.My load bar and the loadbar housing, it works by.
loadBar._width = loadBarHousing._width * (percent / 100);
Now my problem is that I would like to add a 2pixel line to the right side of my loadBar_mc and make it sit to the right of the loadBar MC all the way until it completes the fill/load. Obviously I cant just add the shape to the loadBar_mc because that will resize.No sure on where to go from here.I have a file here:[URL]

What i have is a preloader on the first scene and when scene 2 is loaded then it plays it.. the problem is not here, the problem is with my loading bar... I have the loading bar on the first frame of my preloader scene but it's inside a movie clip ( at frame 10 as i can remember ). I have this code on it:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.gotoAndStop(int(_parent.getBytesLoaded()*100/_parent.getBytesTotal()));
}
Ok, i tried to edit it and all that crap, but whenever i play the movie the bar is fully loaded ( meaning it won't load normally )... I guess the problem is that i'm not giving the path correctly... but i can't figure out how to give it... Ahh, and yeah, the bar is inside an MC called "pre" and the bar is called "bar"...
I don't know if this helps, all preloader codes are the same but here is the code i'm using ( this is placed on the first frame of the preloader scene, and it's not inside any MC, it's only on the first frame with the second frame "looping the first" ):
Code:
total_bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded_bytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();

Setup: I have an html page with an embedded flash object. The object is an "index.swf" with an empty movie clip on it. External swf's load onto the index swf via the empty movie clip when buttons are pushed.
Problem: On my test server in dreamweaver, the swf's load fine. When I put them on my server and test it online only the index swf loads. not the initial swf or any of the other swf's.
