my urlloader does not seem to like the idea of fetching something over the net.it just gives a Stream Error.

I want to pull some HTML off of a page that I can only get to through typing in my username and password? Is there anyway to enable flash to get to that page? Instead it just loads the same page that would load if you WEREN'T logged in.
View 5 RepliesI'm testing out Adobe Flash Media Server and Wowza Flash Server and am trying to accomplish the following... Web server and Flash server are on different computers... Flash server is configured to stream vod files (.flv) from a remote file share (UNC path) on a separate Windows domain server.
I was able to get both servers configured and working. The final piece is to move both Flash servers to the DMZ segment of our firewall and test from outside our network. On the DMZ, the Wowza Server is able to connect to the remote file share and stream video as it's apparently leveraging the credentials I entered when I mapped a network drive to the file share and supplied valid domain credentials. The Adobe Flash Server is not able to connect to the remote file share and stream video because it seems that the connection method that the Adobe Flash Server uses is reliant upon the Adobe Flash Server Windows service account being a domain account... and when the server is on the DMZ it cannot access our domain controllers to authenticate.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of situation.? Or know if there's a way for Adobe Flash Server to leverage drive mapping credentials as opposed to the credentials that it starts the Windows service with?
I have an Flex app that loads xml files with URLLoader/URLRequest methods, and works perfectly. The problem is that the .xml files are stored in "Temporary Internet Files" folder of the browser, and we dont want that the user can open or read those .xml files. Do you know any way to prevent that xml files are stored in the user browser cache folder? or any alternative way to load the data of the xml files, or read it directly from the server?
View 6 RepliesI have a SWFLoader in mxml of my flex app.[code]...
I get the alert popup (that is the loadComplete is called) but do not get any swf loaded, not able to view anything. What can be the problem, am I missing something or some security issue? I also tried the image control to load the swf. Moreover, the swf are pdf files converted to swf so can this be an issue of different frame rates between flash and flex ?
I have this situation (simplified):
MC-A.swf opened from local computer (C:/) and loads MC-B.swf which is hosted on a server.
When MC-B.swf is loaded, it tries to access file called "loader.swf" which is also on local computer (C:/).
When it tries to access the "loader.swf" I get the following error message:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file:///C|/loading.swf halted - not permitted from [URL]
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
I read discussions concerning this issue, and as I understood, I could use:
System.security.allowDomain("[URL]");
to solve this problem, but it didn't work.
I wouldn't like to change the loaded file to load it's resources also from the web, since it can find them on the local machine.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem when i try to access the internet from a swf that is run localy.I want to load other swf files from diffrent domains into my main file wich works fine when the swf is on some domain but when i download the file and run it localy it doesn't work.
Can i change the sandbox type from actionscript? Mochi Media does it after enctypting your swf but i don't know how.
This is absolutely driving me crazy. While I'm a fan of the availability of asynchronous calls in AIR, I'm finding that being forced to use them for something that should be SUPER simple is a severe limitation. So severe that I may end up abandoning AIR and writing native Android and iOS apps instead of using the shared AIR platform.
OK, now that I have that off my chest, here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have an app that, when deployed, is relatively small. But once deployed to a user's device that user will log in using a login name/password. Once they log in, content specific to that user needs to be downloaded and saved to the local device. Since the content varies by user I can't include it in the package for deployment.
But I cannot figure out how to accomplish this: say I want to download 10 files and each file is 2-3mb and I want to show a "Downloading, please wait..." view during the download. The application cannot proceed until all 10 files are downloaded. But since from what I've seen URLStream and URLLoader are both async I cannot figure out how to block the app from opening the "View available content" and say on the "Downloading, please wait..." view.
Since URLLoader is async, how to make sure the order of data from server side is the same as the loader.load() call? In other words, the data order in totalResults is the same order of url-related content?
Following is code snippet:
1.for each(var url in urls) {
loadData(url);
}
2.private function loadData(url:String):void {

how to load files to a Flash site Dynamically from a remote server. The first part was showing how to load a .txt file.
I have created a dynamic test field and give it an instance name of myTextArea. Then I uploaded the .txt file to my server in a testing folder. At the beginning of the paragraph in the .txt file I put homeText= Then going back to Flash CS3 I made an Action Script layer and entered the following code there;

But when I go to test the movie I get a "undefined" error (I guess it is an error) where the text should load in the dynamic text field.
If I have a flash file that I'd like to test locally (on my computer) but I have video files on a flash video server and photos on another server, is there an easy way to set up my flash file so I can do this?

View 0 RepliesCan I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
View 3 RepliesI have 2 AS files. One is my main file which i have as the Document Class. The other I am trying to get to be a "sub as. file" that will load when the main one loads. The main Class loads pictures through xml. The subclass, (I guess it would be called), loads all of the elements that I need on the stage, such as the forward and back buttons etc.
My main class is
Public Class Slideshow extends Sprite {
//I then put a var within this with as the name of my subclass:
public var stageElements:StageElements;
Now, at first when I published the flash it gave me some errors that were in StageElements class so I fixed them and it loads all fine now without errors and the pictures come up but the stage elements do not. I know that my StageElements class works because I have tried it out as the Document Class the .fla uses.
does anyone have a simple way of accessing files on the SAME server, but just below the web root folder?

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.

Is there any simple way you can access a very short sound file in flash without having to play it in an flv player. its just a ding sound to play when the user hits a button in the presentation.Also is it possible to access an external pic file and then convert it in to a symbol to be used within my presentation.I just don't want to store these files to keep my main swf small.
View 3 RepliesI have flash (AIR) application running on a single controlled system (there is only one computer running it and nobody has access to it).I will host some files on Amazon's S3 and I need to make sure that only my flash app running locally on that computer can access those files.I'm wondering what the best (most secure) approach would be for doing this.My initial thought is to make the files on S3 private and store the secret key on the local computer running the flash app. Then when I needed to access the files from flash I would send out an authenticated query string with some expiration time. The only problem with this is that I don't know how to generate the S3 signature in flash. Also I'm a little skeptical about storing the secret key on the flash machine (even though it's a privately owned machine with no other users using it).Is there a better approach perhaps?I have access to a server with PHP, so I could maybe use that as some kind of proxy, I'm just not sure how while keeping the file access secure and not creating a bottleneck through the web server (as opposed to direct access to S3).
View 1 RepliesShort description of my project:I'm making a "flash-car-damage-registration-program" where a user can click on a part of a car, make two choices (from two comboboxes) that describes the damage, and then save it in a datagrid withing flash.I have split up the code in different class files:I have a damage.as class file that describes the damage and its properties.I have a carPart.as class file that extends the Movieclip class. This sets all the propertiesof each carpart and where the roll-over/out eventlisteners are, pluss som escriptive text to each carpart. This works the way I want it to. This is just to quickly give you an idea of what I'm working on.So to the real question or problem: I have a LoadMyXmlData.as class file where I load some xml data, this works fine. A function in this class takes a combobox and a xmllist as parameters.
I want to populate the mentioned comboboxes from the xml data. Both comboboxes are on the stage within another movieclip, but I can seem to access them. (yes, they have instancenames etc) I get error 1120: 'Access of undefined property'. I have tried ways like: containingMc.comboboxMc' and so forth but no luck. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to my problem, but nothing so far.
I'm scraping a website in Flash, writing in Python. I can see in Firebug that the page loads its Flash file and then some background data in an .asmx file.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a web page that allows users to upload their own swf files to my web page, which are then used by the main web page as components. This creates a security issue though because I don't want the uploaded swf files to access other files on the server.
when the main webpage starts, it loads whatever third party swf files the user specifies. Is there a way for my main web page to change the security settings of the loaded swf so that the loaded swf is treated like it was loaded from another domain? Or is there another way I can provent these uploaded swfs from accessing local files on the server.
i'd like to know if its possible to save information obtained from users to files if the user is accessing the flash file from a cd. I would also like to know how it works if possible. And can the flash file be in .exe instead of .swf?
