Let's say you wanted a flash movie to load the same SharedObjects no matter where it is accessed. Is this possible and how would you set up the parent movie to transport the SharedObjects?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a project that uses SharedObject and I have a question. I've made a button that downloads a flash screensaver and at the same time also creates a SharedObject which stores a specific id for each screensaver being downloaded. When later the screensaver is installed and run, it should get the SharedObject and read the id from it. When tested locally it works perfect since both the buttons´ and the screensavers´Sharedobject are stored in the same localPath. But when the button is online and the screensaver is local the SharedObject paths don't match.
Is there a way to solve this and make the local screensaver swf read the SharedObject from the same path as the online download button has stored it's SharedObject in?
This is the relevant code in both my swfs:
var _mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("name", "/");
If this won't work, does anybody have another solution to my remote to local screensaver thingy??
I am trying to create a login system where a user would be able to login inside of one flash game on say, [URL], and then that same login data would be preserved for all the games on [URL] and also the games on [URL] and [URL] I am new to shared objects in flash so if anybody knows of a way to do this in either php, as3, html, js (or a mixture of all) then that would be great.
(PS. I would prefer not to use a method that requires a javascript bridge to retrieve cookies as this is impossible for games that are played on game-portal sites where only a swf file is used)
I am trying to get my flash file to load data from multiple sources/domains. It works perfectly in the development environment, but as soon as you launch the swf locally or online, it doesn't load the xml data from external domains.

I have a.swf, which is the SWF file for my main application, and it's trying to load in b.swf, which contains some additional resources as well as some Actionscript. a.swf lives on sub1.domain.com and b.swf lives on sub2.domain.com (both on the same domain, just different subdomains.) In a.swf, I've loaded the crossdomain.xml from domain.com and also added the following code into both a.swf and b.swf:
Security.allowDomain("*");
Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");
Do I need to load crossdomain.xml in b.swf as well to prevent a security error or is having allowDomain/allowInsecureDomain enough?

I am testing a locally run SWF (in debug standalone player) that tries to load data from a remote URL using URLLoader class. I have enabled useNetwork flag in the SWF. As I said, the SWF is running in standalone player, it is not embedded in any page in any browser.As I understand, it still cannot load any external non-visual resource, if the site it tries to load from does not have a crossdomain.xml file, or if that file does not include the domain hosting my SWF. Correct?
View 0 RepliesI have Multiple checkboxes and a input box on a page and am trying to save there state to a SharedObject.
The Input text saves as per usual and I can output wether the checkboxes are selected to a another Input Text Field but this information will not save to the SharedObject - althought it will if i manually change the information.
I have a multi .swf file project hosted inside a main container (let's call this main.swf) with each "child" .swf being loaded by a Loader object and placed on stage. One of the .swf files contains a game of sorts (let's call this game.swf") with the need to save the state of the game when other .swf files in the site are being loaded and placed on stage.
My question is thus: in implementing Local shared objects, what/where is the location on disk when I go to test the save state of the game? I'm interested for a couple of reasons. One is how I might be able to point a tool such as this: [URL] to look at shared object properties in the data member. Currently this tool points itself to the standard temporaty location on the hard disk. The second is to see why the following doesn't work:
Using the code in the main parent .swf file to clear out the data in the SharedObject instance seems to be getting different results when I use main.swf to do something like this:
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("gameState");
var started:Boolean = false;
so.data.gameStarted = started;
[code]...
how should I be implementing shared object to manage game state if the user clicks on a button to load different .swf files inside the main .swf file but never leaves the actual "site" using multiple .swf files.
I've installed developer version of Flash Media Server 4.5 and trying to get remote object, but no matter how I call my object all i get is this error .I've rad configuration guide and it told me that I should set StorageDir for shared objects, enable RPC (<RPC enabled="true">) and allow shared object (<Allow>users</Allow> in <RPC> - <SharedObject> tags)

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.
i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....
I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?
View 3 RepliesI have a SWF that contacts a php script all on the same domain. In the first case both are hosted behind the same domain and communicate with no problem. Everything is working great.However when I take the same markup that embeds the SWF and paste it on another site (using a full qualified path for the swf in both the locally hosted and remotely hosted code), the SWF no longer communicates with the php script I wrote. I added a cross domain file to my site which looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
[code]....
I have
A.swf - located on sitea.com which loads B.swf
B.swf - located on siteb.com which loads some files from sitec.com
crossdomain.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="80" />
</cross-domain-policy>
I have placed the crossdomain.xml (above) file on each domain root but i still get a Security Error from sandbox when accessing A.swf
securityErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: B.swf cannot load data from sitec.com"]
I do know that crossdomains problems are meant to be simple
My client's site exists on both http:// and http://www. and I have a flash navigation system on the site. All links are absolute values and work fine from the www subdomain but do not seem to work from the http:// domain. It seems strange to me as the links are absolute paths...
View 2 RepliesI just recently created a news ticker using the tutorial on Kirupa; however, I have not been successful at getting my xml data to show up on the news ticker. I have my xml file stored on and my website will be stored on Savannah State University's server. I do not want to have my xml file on the same domain as my website because it will be on my school's server and they don't allow access to their server. I want to be able to update the news ticker freely.
View 5 RepliesSo I have an SWF8 file as a player on one domain (unsecure). It loads and plays an SWF8 from another (secure) domain. So far so good. Trouble is, I need the player to send variables to the files it's playing so that links in that SWF will, well, link. I also need the player to receive some movie control commands in return. There must be a rule or two I'm violating, because while the file plays, anything that depends on a variable is just dead.
A note: Both files started out as SWF6. I understand I can only do what I'm trying to with SWF8, so I went through the code and fixed the case sensitive issues and did the conversion.

View 2 RepliesI have a website on my server which loads a .swf file and then I want to be able and call functions in that file from javascript.
My server has domain [url]..
I have two domains pointing to the same swf. So I have domain "A" and "B" where my swf (site) is hosted at "A". Domain "B" loads site "A".
The swf loads some vars from a DB, when seeing site directly at domain "A" I have no problems, but when seeing with domain "B", my site just freezes....giving an error at the Browser and I have to close. This is for FF and IE.
At first I thought this was cross domain policies, so I have put at my swf the following code:
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("B")
I've written an app that parses Atom and RSS feeds from a few popular sites, and reacts to this data. Everything works fine when I run the .swf locally, but fails when uploaded. Is there a security setting I should be aware of?

View 2 RepliesI have a parent swf that loads a child swf and attempts to pass some data into the child.
The process works fine if parent and child are located in the same domain (lets say domainA.com).
As soon as I place the child swf into domainB.com and try to load it, it will load in the parent, but it is not loading the values.
Crossdomain policies are in place (the child does load!), but the params are not sent.[code]...
I put my music player to one domain and music files to the other one (i.e.:[URL]. As the player's setup is via xml file I just set there to look for that .mp3s with given url. I thought I need to put some crossdomain.xml to the domain with mp3s but meanwhile my music player doesn't need it and loads all the music from other server and plays.. So, do I need some policy file or so as I thought, or maybe my thoughts are outdated?
View 9 RepliesIs there or is there not possible to access _global variables between domains? on [URL] i have index.html and index.swf. Index.swf then loads main.swf from [URL].In index.swf i have a _global variable that i want main to use. When calling for it all i get is undefined. The only way to access it is if i call for it using _parent or _root.
I have allowed the domains to communicate using
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain1.com");
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain2.com");
I have also put a crossdomain policy file on both servers..cross domain policys since i CAN access the variables and functions using _parent and _root...or is it?
I'm using a working proxy.php, and passing it a url variable.
I think the problem is that the url variable I'm passing is a php file itself with a query on the end of it.
My proxy.php file sits in the same directory as the .swf.[code]...
