I made sure the playback security was set to network only on the publish settings menu. I have another program that connects to the same server without a problem, so I don't think it's a cross-domain policy file problem.

how do you do socket connection to port 8000?
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a online application in flash and I'm trying to test the socket connection over a java server running on localhost. It works fine running in the CS3 environment using ctrl+enter and it's communicating with the server and sending information back and forth. But I can only test one client at a time like this. When I try to run the swf straight it isn't connecting. how to set up the permissions correctly so I can test locally?

I have a Flex web app (compiled to regular SWF) that tries to connect to a (binary, not XML) socket on its own server. So if the swf is at [URL], the socket is [URL] This should be possible, AFAIK, but when I try to connect I get a security error saying that [URL] cannot access [URL]. Even though it shouldn't be needed, I also have a crossdomain.xml file containing

In my Flash app, I'm connecting to my server like this:
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://example.com:12860");
socket = new Socket("example.com", 12869);
socket.writeByte(...);
socket.flush();
At port 12860 I'm running a socket policy server, which (according to this document) correctly serves up my policy like this:

I get no security warnings, which I used to get before the policy server was in place. Still, the connection to port 12869 doesn't work. It's made (I can see with Wireshark and on the server), but no data is sent by Flash. It might be worth knowing that the SWF itself is served from example.com as well.

I'm tring to write an instant messager implementation, but i got a problem with the initial socket connection.I need to send a GET request with some parameters to a server and it will reply with a seed number message server IP.
Code: Select allvar socket:Socket = new Socket("appmsg.gadu-gadu.pl", 80);
var response:String = new String;
var request:String = new String;[code]......
why the socket isn't sending any data after the connect,i also wrote a small pop3 client and it works fine.
i am receiving this error "ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on flash.net::Socket/connect(). Expected 2, got 0.".
I have created a .net tcp server that sends 1 byte of data while reading a file, now the flash client connects but i get this error and i don't receive any data at all.

I'm considering writing a flash client using sockets to connect to a chat server that I've already written in C#. Unfortunately I don't have any AS experience so was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction (to tutorials or the like for socket connections etc).
View 4 RepliesI'm building a Flex application, which is going to perform many server requests (let's say, that almost all interactions require an update from server). At the moment I'm using remote procedure calls for it. But I was wondering if using a socket would be better. In other terms, is maybe better to keep the connection alive rather then performing many calls in sequence? For my demo app I only have 1 client. Is the number of clients connecting to the server a factor for this choice?

View 1 RepliesI am building an AIR application where I receive UDP messages from Max/MSP using the Socket class. When testing in an internal loopback environment ( messages sent from 127.0.0.1 at port 7400 ) I can see the UDP messages being sent, as in: I can receive the messages I'm broadcasting in Max/MSP by listening to port 7400.However, the AIR app throws IO errors when trying to connect ( via the Socket class, using Socket.connect ) to aforementioned IP and port and I for the life of me can't find out why the app has no access to the internal loopback sending UTP ( if for instance, I start a Apache server at the same IP but at different port, the Socket class connects immediately to that IP - it won't receive data of course, but at least it can establish a connection )I am thinking the problem lies outside of the AS app and is an internal networking issue, I'd like to know if someone has experienced a similar error ( I'm on OS X, btw ) as I don't think it's a security sandbox error ( as the event isn't thrown, and the application type is trusted ).
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to connect my flash application to my nodejs server running socket.io. To connect via web-browser is no problem. Now the problem, when the socket-server isn't running i get an IOError in Flash what seams alright. Now when i start the server and try to connect again, i don't get an error, but the socket-server doesn't receive a connection either?!

Here is what I try to in AS3:

We can see from the log output of the server that this is really sent to the connecting socket. A null byte is of course sent after the xml data. And after that, the server closes the connection. However, it seems that Flash somehow does not like it, as "Error #2048" still appears after ~3 seconds.
I have problem with xml socket client in flash. It's cant receive messages from socket server wich is wrote on C#, But server receives the messages from client. Here is a code of AS3.

I'm new here, so maybe i'm posting in the wrong channel. Please tell me if it is the case. I'm trying to get a simple client socket class to work with events.

Optivote IR8 is basically a voting system with a bunch of remote controllers, which can send IR signals to a receiver, which is connected to a computer through a USB port. And I'm trying to write my own little software for that with Flash.Optivote receiver communicates with software through a virtual serial port. When I connect to that port through PuTTY, I can see signals whenever I press any button on the remote controllers. Although, when I connect to that port through Serproxy (which relays a socket connection to a serial port connection), the remote controllers don't seem to work. I just get the same signal every half a second or so, over and over. I'm guessing the receiver is trying to make some kind of handshake this way.
The thing I can't figure out is what PuTTY does that Serproxy doesn't to make the serial port connection work. Maybe there's some proper way to tell the other end when I connect?(I use Serproxy, because Flash applications cannot connect to a serial port directly, but supports socket connections)
I am sure that I am missing something simple but I am doing an overhaul of a flash chat application that I wrote a few years back.I have everything humming along in Actionscript 3 and it works well when I test the .swf in Flash CS3 Pro but when I publish it and view it in the browser, I get no joy.I can see the flash plug-in retrieving the crossdomain.xml in my web server's root directory but in the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect I installed flashpolicy server that is responding on port 843, but again, through the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect.I have tried both Firefox and Safari browsers with the same result.I have swapped out the XMLSocket Object for the Socket Object and I am able to connect to my socket server, from within Flash CS3, but not from a browser.
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to use an online Flash file to communicate and pass data to a device linked to a client machine.I have got the Flash to work using sockets and when run from the same machine as the device it works fine.However, the flash file needs to be online and I need a way to allow the data to be passed. At the moment it won't connect to the socket on the client machine (I just get a connection failed message after about 10 secs) and I believe that this has to do with the security settings.
I am looking into Cross Domain Policy files as a way of securing the connection, but all of the information present suggests that these are only applicable to server machines. Can I put a Cross Domain policy file on the client machine that would allow the online flash to access one of it's sockets or will a CDP file on the server hosting the flash file be able to allow access to a client machines sockets?

Flash connects succesful to the server and trace "Connected to flash" but it cannot receive data.
We are currently in the process of trying to connect a c# server from a flash app. This hasnt been a problem so far - we have simply used the Socket class.We now have a requirement to encrypt the stream using SSL/TLS. This is no problem in c#, but much more problematic on the flash side. So far we have found two options: As3crypto lib, and AIR 2.0 SecureSocket. However, neither option has proved to be successful.
As3Crypto - TLSSocket
Using this method when we execute the code, the server throws an exception - this appears to be due to As3Crpyto's PARTIAL support of TLS.
AIR 2.0 - SecureSocket
We are currently using the latest Flex 4 SDK. We have imported AirGlobal.swc to alllow us to create a SecureSocket in a similar manner to the TLSSocket. The code builds but does not run - some File Not found error or something - probably because SecureSocket is not found in the runtime. I assume this is because AIR is intended for desktop applications rather than apps embedded in a browser.
So, now we're stuck. We have the option of encrypting the data instead using some PGP algorithm available in the As3Crypto lib. However, we would much prefer to encrypt the stream using something like TLSSocket or SecureSocket.
I have designed with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 a .fla project that integrates a client - server connection. After publishing it, I have the following issue:- when running the generated .exe file for Windows, then the connection to the server works perfectly- but when I am running the published .html file, then nothing is sent to the server.
I have tried to change the Publish Settings. When setting the Local Playback Security in Flash menu to "Access network only" instead of "Access local files only" then the last packet that was send using the .exe file is resent once and that's all (the html client does not receive the response from the server and the next connection attemps generate data transfer). I guess I have to change some security settings somewhere but I didn't find which.
I wrote a Flash AS 3.0 Preview .fla & .as files that establishes a connection with a C++ server app via an XML Socket. Everything works great when I start the .swf file within Flash 9 Public Alpha by pressing [CTRL]+[ENTER]. But if I close the exported .swf file, and immediately open the file with the standalone Windows Flash 9 Player (I tried it with the player that comes with the Alpha preview and the brand new Player released on Oct 4 on Adobe Labs), no connection to the server is established.
