I try to use Security.loadPolicyFile() and Flash Player goes on error because my firewall stop it. It's ok.
But, when I put the method into the Try{} Catch{} statement, I can not intercept the error.
[Code]...
URL...I'm trying to connect to the java server which sends back the policy data.From the IDE, absolutly nothing happens.Where can I start to know what's going on? I've looked at so many forum posts and exemples but nothing seems to correspond to my problem.the policy file allows all, the ports are open, the file and directory of my local swf are added to the trusted list in the flash global security settings.I'm using Security.loadPolicy File ("xmlsocket://xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"); with the right IP and open port which my server listens to.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex 4 application the needs to retrieve XML from a web service and the web service does not sit on the same server as the Flex 4 application.
I was getting the Sandbox security violation #2048, I eventually figured out that I needed a crossdomain.xml file on the web service server which I put in C:Inetpubwwwroot. Tried again and all was good, it worked.But, I don't want the crossdomain.xml file to reside in the root of the server because I only want the crossdomain.xml file to affect the directory the web service is in.So I put the crossdomain.xml file into the directory where the web service resides and used Security.loadPolicyFile() but it does nothing, I get the Sandbox security error again. I checked with HTTP traffic with Fiddler2 and the request is being made successfully so I know that the application is getting the file, it just doesn't seem to be using it.
Is there something I'm missing? Below is the AS code I'm using, i tell the application to use the policy file in the application complete event handler, and i load the xml in the buttons click handler.

I'm trying to research some support for this but not getting very far, so I'm hoping you all can help. Is it possible to do something like the following:
Code:
Security.loadPolicyFile("*.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");
The purpose is to not have to create multiple SWFs for each subdomain and not have a list of absolute urls because we do not want this:
Code:
Security.loadPolicyFile("mobile.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");[code]........
I need to figure out a way to check if a crossdomain policy file has been loaded before initializing a certain component. The component won't work correctly if the crossdomain policy hasn't been loaded. Is there a way to do this? I can't figure out a way to get this working. This is the script I'm using:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.remotewebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");
Is there a way to set up Http headers to Security.loadPolicyFile() function ??
Other question: Is there any danger when loading an external swf?
Specifically, the developer of a web service I'm trying to call has installed a cross-domain policy file on his server at:[URL] So, in my SWF, I'm calling this:
[Code]....
Of course, it's not there, so it fails to load. (If the developer could install the file at the root, I wouldn't have this problem, so I wouldn't be using System.security.loadPolicyFile in the first place). It's not just in the IDE - when I test the app in Firefox with Firebug, I can see that the SWF is attempting to load the policy file from [URL].
I've stripped down the SWF so that it does nothing else but attempt to load the policy file from the subdirectory, and it still fails. So, I don't think this has to do with any idiosyncrasies of my specific app. Bottom line - does the System.security.loadPolicyFile work? Is there something else I need to do in conjunction with that call to get it to work? Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?
I have my stuff set up and everything works fine except for a very strange glitch.When I use the internal IP address (192.168.###.###) from a machine on the internal network, it works fine.When I use the external IP address (209.###.###.### which eventually maps to that internal IP address) from a machine out in the world, like at home or a hotel or a clients site, it works fine.But, when I use the external IP address from a machine on the internal network, everything works except the flv file doesn't stream. The HTML page displays, the swf player displays, but the flv file doesn't stream; the swf player displays the message "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again."
What could possibly make this happen? To me, it seems impossible. Could there be a setting in FMS that would cause this sort of thing? I very much doubt it is a firewall issue, because if it were, then the file wouldn't stream from outside the firewall.
I have some audio streaming resources on my HTTP server, let's sayI did design a flash player for playing it.Their player will try to reload that resource until it's available.This makes a lots of stress to my HTTP server. To stop them from hamming my server, I want to allow access only from my flash player. Strangely, I think in this case, flash player should check the crossdomain.xml first before load my audio resource, but they didn't. They just load the sound and play. The corssdomain.xml is not even there. I try to add one, it doesn't work as well
<?xml version="1.0"?>

View 0 RepliesI have an LCDS server sitting behind a corporate proxy/firewall. I need to use a configured HTTPProxyService on the LCDS server to make requests out to beyond the firewall (can't go directly from the client because of crossdomain.xml issues) How do I configure LCDS to use the corporate proxy on it's outbound requests?
View 2 RepliesI just wrote a P2P video chat similiar to the Cirrus example application on my web site. It works great, as long as both users manually open the ports required for RTMFP. Naturally this is a deal breaker for me - since no one will use it. What is the standard solution in this case? Should I publish the instructions of how to open the ports on different firewalls? Should I write a small batch file to be downloaded that programmatically opens the ports? Is there a different (commercial) tool that allows me to bypass it in any other way?
View 1 RepliesI'm new to Flash and AS3, but with the help of many examples I have managed to created a scripted movie using some time lapse photography. I load the images from an XML file and use an event listener to add each image as a child of a movie clip. As the number of children grew, it caused the frame rate to slow, so I figured out that I could remove them after they were viewed and just keep looping through the array.
This works great on the local machine and when served up from the web server behind the firewall. However, if I try to access the file from outside the firewall, it loads the first image or two very slowly (if at all) then hangs. I've performed a net stat from the server and noticed that it is opening an inordinate number of connections to the remote client on various client ports (from 6 to 60+).

recently been dealing with a problem where outsiders have been able to hijack our Windows 2003 server based Flash Media Server 4 default livestream access point and bounce pirated television content over it. Currently am running this on a campus network and thought I had it locked down so that all incoming port 1935 requests must originate from campus and outgoing streams are served everywhere. This is sort of working, but it is also stopping legitimate traffic from streaming video to off campus visitors. If anyone can shed a light on how to setup my firewall rules that would be great, as I am stumped. Here is the list of how I've setup the rules (not using our real IP's for protection):
Campus is a class B network, everything is based off of 123.123.X.X
Server sits on 123.123.1.2
Port/rulename Rule Local Port Local IP Remote IP Remote Port
Port 80 Allow TCP/UDP 80 ANY ANY ANY
Streaming out Allow TCP/UDP OUT 1935 ANY ANY ANY <--this rule is supposed to allow all

I've tried swf verify but thats easy to circumvent, nor can I get the allowhttpdomains options to work properly as it wants real names and not IP numbers.
I am connecting to a Java game server via an XMLSocket and serving the crossdomain.xml policy file via loadPolicyFile(). The problem is, the thing either works, or it doesn't Is there any way I can get any status information back from loadPolicyFile() ?file didn't load, file is invalid, anything. Is there a way to attach an onLoad handler to this? The documentation claims that this thing will wait for a response before it attempts any connections.
View 1 RepliesI have an SWF hosted on one server (let's say, url..),trying load data from a remote server (let's say,url...),in subdirectory /scripts /public/data.txt.In that subdirectory I have a file named crossdomain.xml, with the following content:
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>[code].....
Now this doesn't work. The SWF doesn't get access to data on that directory. It displays "undefined" instead of the expected value.
Notes:It does find the xml file.I know because when I try to load a file that doesn't exist it throws an error that says the file was not found.When the xml file is on the root directory (and there's no need to call the loadPolicyFile function),it works perfectly (displays the expected value),which means the xml file is fine.I thought maybe I need to wait for the loadPolicyFile to complete,but according to Adobe's help documents, all loading processes wait for the loadPolicyFile process to complete before rejecting a connection .Perhaps I used the loadPolicyFile function wrongly somehow,but I find it unlikely, since I copied the syntax from Adobe's help documents.
I have a swf one one server that is pulling content from an Amazon S3 server. I have set up, for now, a generic cross-domain policy to allow all domains access:[code]These seem to be playing nicely (for the most part) as my swf is loading json, xml, etc. files from the S3 server just fine now. What it's not doing right is loading swfs from the S3 server, when it tries to do that it throws this exception:[code]I assume this is because remote swfs could contain malicious executable code. Do I actually need to set the allowDomain to something or is there some other 'more correct' way of allowing my swf to load up other remote swfs?
View 1 RepliesI am getting a strange problem while I am making my release build swf.The swf is supposed to make some internal server calls and then display the data and also play it.When I make a release build swf and excute it, while making server calls it throws exceptions likeSecurityErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=falsecancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2170: Security sandbox violation:file:///Path to the swf/WebPlayer.swf cannot send HTTP headers to **Method Name to bring data from the server***]And after this nothing can be done as everything depends on the data from the server..I have updated my cross-domain.xml on the server to support the master-only policy file but that also didnt ..My cross-domain.xml is

I haven't fully grasped how the flash security model works, and now I've ran into a problem. I have a base SWF that loads a game loader swf, which in turn loads the actual game.What I'm trying to do is taking a current bitmap snapshot of the running game. This works fine before the loader swf has loaded the game. When the game is loaded, I get a security violation because the game has images pulled from facebook. Is this something that can be solved on my end, or restricted by security in the game swf?
View 2 Repliesi have a crossdomain.xml on my server. but it not in "/". and i use loadPolicyFile to load this crossdomain.xml.
Security.allowDomain("*")
Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");

the PolicyFile's url is like this :[URL]and my restful webservices address is like this : [URL]crossdomain.xml include my flash's host url.the weird thing is flash still tried to load the [URL] like this first is right and response 200. the second response 400 .finally, the flash still told me SecrityError#2048
I'm having trouble with an AS3 AMF RemoteObject request that is hosted on App Engine. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root of the domain, and also one at the remoting endpoint.Here are the contents of the root crossdomain.xml:

<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies ="all"/>[code].....
Loading the swf file and testing it on my machine works just fine... I think that may have something to do with me having the debugger version of Flash Player. When I push it up to App Engine to make it public, other clients access it and get a Client.Error.MessageSend Channel.Security.Error error Error #2048 url: http:[url].......I am using Flex 4 beta, and the App Engine Python runtime. I have tried full wildcard in the crossdomain, and even accessing the data endpoint at a relative URL so as to avoid this error.
I work on a project for a client so i can do otherthings while i wait on this answer. Anyway what ports do i need to open so I can stream video with hls for Apple/IOS devices? i've opened 80,8080,1935 but i think i saw somewhere that i need to open a port range.

I thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?

myTimer.start();

I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr
View 2 RepliesI just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.

import flash.events.*;[code].........
Im attempting to make a preloader. I am very new to action script so this is what i have.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ( "UC" ) {
gotoAndPlay ( "home" );
}
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.
I've tried a couple dozen things to try and stop this movie clip, even down to the bare bones basics and its not working.I have an imported TIFF sequence that i imported onto the stage of a movie clip. Its 73 frames long, i want it to stop on frame 73.So i add the usual stop(); command but it doesn't stop, it keeps looping.On the main layer i put this movieclip in i have an AS layer that also has stop(); and moviclip.stop();But it doesn't stop at all. it just keeps repeating.I put it down to this bare basic setup just to see if i could even stop it. But its not stopping.Layers -> and stuffScene 1Content - movieclipMCActionScript - stop(); movieclipMC.stop();Movieclip - keyframes consisting of image sequence 1-73. frame 73 has stop();
