I'm trying to load a local xml file:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:
#2148: Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.
My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.
I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal. Is there anything
I have created a flash file that allows you to click on a thumbnail image and larger image appears ontop of a tshirt. The same way as a gallery would work. The images and thumbnails are pulled in through xml. However I have a problem, I need the images that appear on the tshirts to be .png files or gif files as the tshirt colour can be changed. At the moment my flash file will only display jpegs! I dont knwo why. The jpegs leave me with a white background, so I need the transparency of a png/gif. My actionscript is:

I have wmv files that i need available for download from answf (both swf and .wmv's will be on a DVD or CD). The wmv files arein a folder named WMV which is at the same level as the swf. I justwant the user to be able to click on a button and select "Save As"and download the file. I've been trying to use the download()method but keep getting IO Errors and also tried usingnavigateToURL but it tries to download it through firefox (no "SaveAs" option, just tries to open with Windows Media Player) andwindows media player says it can't find the fil

View 1 RepliesCan someone point me to a desktop app (Windows and Mac) that can play local FLV files?
View 4 RepliesI have noticed that I have to put flv files in the same or sub-directories of the application file, for example myproject/bin-debug/flvs/1.flv, and use videodisplay.source="flvs/1.flv" to load.
If I put it in myproject/flvs/1.flv, I cannot load it in VideoDisplay, using videodisplay.source="../flvs/1.flv". However the metadata (duration for example) is retrieved, but play() cannot start it.
I have a very stupid problem. I'm using Flash Builder (Flex) 4. My application displays a video using VideoDisplay component and some images. The video filename is always named video.mp4 and the images are inside a folder called "real/". The video file and the real folder are in the SAME location of the .swf built.
The video source in the code is set like this: videoDisplay.source = 'video.mp4';
and the images, loaded dynamically, are like:
img.source = 'real/' + imageFilename;

in older versions of flash player if I opened a swf file in a web page locally it would bring up a security settings box where I could allow files to play locally - but this doesn't seem to happen in flash player 11 - how do I enable my swfs to play locally?
View 3 RepliesThe reason Ordinarily I would just host everything on the server, the swf file and images and serve them out using something like apache. However, we're working with an embedded device with hardware limitations. So we thought we could avoid this by hosting the images locally on a cd.But Flash player moans about the security settings. I know a way to overcome this would be to give the user instructions to change the global security settings- hence allowing both network and local access. But we feel that this would be too much to expect the end user to do.We want our model to work out of the box so to speak. Or as best as possible.
View 1 RepliesI had to change my global settings to be able to view my project on my local machine (clicking on index.html and have it open with explorer). Everything runs fine, locally.Videos play, music sings, everything is great.I put it online, no videos will play.All files are where they should be. I've checked 50 times and will do #51 soon.My swf does do some activex calls (this will eventually only be run locally on machines in a wrapper so its like a kiosk)
View 4 Replieswithout explaining why, I need to run a flash slideshow from a live web page and it is for a photo exibition: The problem is that the slideshow, while running on a love site, must read the image files from the local computer that it is browsed from. If the computer is always the same and the files are in the same directory when it was developed, how would I tell flash that the files are not on the server, but on the local computer?

This is not available in Flash Player 9 which is causing me issues as I only have a copy of CS3. All I need to do is retrieve a local jpg from the users computer and temporarily display it in my flash application. So to clarify, uploading to the server isn't required unless this is the only way to do this with Flash Player 9?
Is it possible to access both network and local files, flash player 9/10?
Here is the situation:
I have an SWF which runs locally on the client's machine.
It communicates, via XML socket, to a C++ server.
It also needs to read some configuration files from the local file system...
c:config.xml <---> test.swf <---> C++ server
So I need the SWF to be fully trusted, as if it was ran from the Flash IDE.But I can't tell my clients to set it to be fully trusted using Adobe's Global Security Settings Panel
What I can do is alter my C++ server code, somehow granting permissions to the SWF.

A project has various local HTML & video files for pages. We need to be able to embed these videos in HTML pages - but because all are local files we have no server-side streaming.
Can I still just use SWFObject? Are there other well-known controls that will let us play .mp4, .swf/flv, .wmv files? This solution is targeting HTML4 across Chrome, FF and IE (I don't know if IE6 is needed).
I am looking for a way to edit .sol-files (LSO/Local Shared Object). I have tried searching quite a bit, but I have not been able to find any program that can edit AS3-files properly. Is there a solution for me out there?

I realize it is possible to play audio with Flash and HTML5 by passing a URL.
However, is it possible to get a reference to an audio file using a file browser (either with HTML5 or Flash), to then play this local file, again using either Flash or HTML5?
Of course, this should happen without the interference of a server. Since the file is already on the local system, it does not make sense to route it through a server only to receive the same file again.
I am trying to open local hard drive files inside AS3. I'm getting a security error with this code:
var soundFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest("c:slushy.mp3");
Is it possible to URLload an absolute path on the hard drive?
Edit: so this appears to be a sandboxing issue. Drat. Is it possible to load the local file via PHP and send to flash?
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 RepliesIm not sure if this is possible in AS2 but i will ask anyway! Would it be possible to have a standalone SWF which gives the user the ability to browse their computer files and then load a picture for example? I know this can be done in AIR but im restricted to AS2 only!
