ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine If SWF Is Running In Same Browser Domain As It Was Loaded From?
Jul 8, 2008
This may sound like a strange request, but I need to be able to determine:
1. What browser domain the current swf is executing in (that is, the page that hosts the swf is displayed in a browser, what is the domain of the page)?
2. What server domain the SWF was loaded from (ie, what the URL domain was for the SWF)?
I believe both of these I can get via javascript and ugly workarounds and pass them in, but what I need is actually to get these values (at least #2) from inside the SWF without relying on the javascript in the hosting page.
Specifically, what I'm trying to determine is if the SWF is executing in a page from the same domain as it itself was hosted/loaded from. I want to fork on this test and create different behavior for a SWF if it's "hot-linked" (that is, loaded onto a page on a different domain from where I host it).
I've looked into flash.system.SecurityDomain and ApplicationDomain... both these have properties called 'currentDomain' which would seem to be the value i'm looking for (for #2), however this object is a static variable that I can't seem to get any information out of or transform into any kind of useful string that I can look at it's value and test with it.The only info I've found on either of those two classes all relates to passing them to LoaderContext and such, when you are loading external resources.I do not want to load anything, I just want to determine how and where the SWF is executing.

I would very much like to determine the IP# of a domain from client script. It's for use in a testing application to determine whether or not a certain domain is set to a QA address as opposed to the address live on the . The testing machine will have it's host file set to resolve a domain to the QA address.Pinging from the server won't help since the server is getting the public DNS address.

I use Flash to develop a movie that runs when a user installs a new version of my companies software, and allows the user to access the user documentation and software installations at the click of a button. I use ActionScript to control the flow of the movie based on radio buttons that the user selects so that they are only provided with information relevant to them.I have been asked if Flash can determine whether a program is installed on the user's computer which can then be used to determine the flow of the movie.

I would like to execute a cross domain http request from a website. Javascript is out, because most browser don't allow cross domain calls. Generally the solution is to use a proxy, but that isn't an option for this project. The other things I was thinking about would be to use Flash or maybe Java. Are there any other platforms that I could use?

How the browser caches .swf and it's content? For example, if I have an image slideshow that load data specified in XML on the domain, will it be cached for access if the same swf is used on the domain or does it have to be re-cached?

My webpage loads a background flash which will connect to the server using socket. If a user open multiple windows/tabs of my website, the server will get multiple socket connections. Any idea of how to make sure that only one socket is connected from the same user and same browser?
I am thinking of using Javascript to monitor the window close event, if a window that was connected to the server is closed, one of the other windows will try to connect to the server. But I can't find a way to listen to that event.I was thinking of Flash's LocalConnection too, but can't find a way to assign unique connection names and let other Flashes know.

I am using the loadVariable method of the MovieClip class to load some data. I have a question about the "transfering data from domain" message I see at the bottom of firefox for a page that has this swf loaded in. The load variables call obviously complete very quickly (the output is just h=1&d=1, or something as short as that) but the transfering data remains the entire time the page is in the browser (like half an hour later, etc).

I need to write a function that will position a movieclip depending on the height of the stage.I'm a little uncertain as how to proceed with this, as my knowledge on AS2 is still developing..Basically I want something like the following thought process:
if stage is < 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)-100
if stage is > 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)+100
I hope this makes sense. I guess I'm unsure as how to determine the height of the stage (I've created a stage that sizes itself to the browser dimensions).

I have got a page which lets me control some devices in a local network. However, some of the advanced settings can be set only using an .exe file which is located on the computer where I run the configuration page. I would like to have all the configurational tools "in one place" so it would be nice to have a kind of link/block/button/flash animation/whatever which - after being clicked by the user - would run a specified .exe file. I think that it is possible somehow, because I've seen MMO games which are launched using a webpage. I also suspect that html/javascript will not let me to do something like that, so maybe the answer is Flash?

I'm having a problem where a Flash project hangs when I run it in my browser, but not when I run it locally. That made me wonder if there's some program or service that enables AS3 developers to see AS3 errors encountered by their users - errors that cause the Flash file to crash, for example. I'm talking about what you'd normally see in the console in Flash Professional; can this be written to a file or displayed to the developer in some way?

I'm trying to get my swf to show the url of an attempted file loading operation when it fails (IOError). For some reason (security?) it works fine in the flash debug environment, but it doesn't in the browser.
In flash it shows:
Code:
[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///MacBook%20HD/Users/Iveshortenedthis/main.swf"]
[Code].....

I am developing a test as part of an e-learning module. The test has a timer on it, basically to dissuade users from looking up the answers online while doing the test.
I just realised however, that the framerate and timer are choked when a browser tab is invisible. In other words, when the user opens a new tab, the timer freezes! How can I get around this? The final product will run on an LMS, so going full-screen is not an option.

I'm building a Flash arcade system that people can deploy to their own websites, which loads its Flash content into a security sandbox. Basically, I'm interested in finding a way to prevent a loaded SWF from accessing the stage.
As you know, once an object in a loaded SWF has access to the stage, it can use event listeners to secure itself to the display list, circumvent Loader.unloadAndStop(), and potentially conduct malicious activities such as key logging. I'm looking to prevent that.
Flash automatically puts SWFs in a sandbox when they're loaded in a domain or subdomain that is different from the parent SWF's. However, the market I'm targeting with this arcade system will probably not have a clear grasp of these concepts, and it's very likely that they will load a SWF into the arcade from the same domain, and that SWF can be malicious. Therefore I'm trying to sandbox content loaded from the same domain as the loader SWF.

I am using the Loader class to load images into a photo gallery. When a user navigates to the next image in the gallery, I need to unload the Loader using the "unload" method and then load the next image.The code for this is simply:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(url...));
My question is if there is someway to determine if a Loader is already loaded? That is, I don't need to unload the Loader if nothing has been loaded so I am wondering if there is some sort of conditional statement I could use to control when the unload method is used.

I'm trying to determine if something is loaded or not and when it is I want it to run a function. If you take a look at the last part of my code you will see what I am trying to do. I am not in need of a preloader I just need to know when it is loaded so I can successfully apply a mask.

I am using CS3 and have 4 layers and 4 frames on the stage. I load all xml and code in frame 1. Frames 2, 3, and 4 have list and combobox components.
I want to populate the list and combobox components with the xml data from the code in Layer 1, frame 1. But this is not happening because of the load sequence.
I would like to know how to listen for the list and combobox loading and then populate them.

it seems that Flash was supposed to run in a sandbox in the browser. But, if Flash can get data from a remote server, can it similarly get data from localhost IP on the same machine? In other words, can I use a Windows app that provides a TCP socket on localhost to feed data into a Flash app?the answer is yes at least for the case of an SWF file hosted in the file system, URL...(turns out the localhost access error can be fixed if you add the SWF app to some security whitelist). Still wondering if this can also be done for SWF apps hosted on the network.

I read that using Flash Builder 4.5.1 you can create one application and run it on a mobile device, in Internet browser and in Desktop AIR. However, I created a mobile application and the only option to run it is 'Run as mobile application'. Is it really possible to run the same Flex application in browser and on mobile?
