ActionScript 3.0 :: Testing Flash On Local Machine
Feb 13, 2009
I am working on a flash application on my local machine. It involves reading and writing to an xml file. I am facing a lot of security problems because of flash sandbox. In order to get around this I have installed php+apache to call an external file that writes to a file. I have created the crossdomain.xml and put it in the root of the web server on my local machine.
However, I can ONLY run the flash file in the flash program AND IT DOES WRITE TO A FILE. If I publish it as a html I still get the security error msg. Now another requirement of my program is as the user interacts with my flash application it changes an xml and the page should refresh to show the changes. But because I can't run my flash program as a html file I can't refresh the damn page! I'm half thinking of setting up a vm machine as a pretend server to get this damn thing working. Then I at least have the server + client model.

I have an xml driven swf enbeded in xhtml page that plays fine when tested on local machine through dreamweaver CS4 but once uploaded to site, swf won't load. The music plays however so I know it's not about the linking.
Here's the xhtml code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="500" height="400" id="mymovie" align="middle">
<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlFile=VVsite/robshow/virtual_tour.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099ff&prelo aderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC" />
<param name="movie" value="VVsite/robshow/virtual_tour.swf" />

I have made a preloader showing the progress of dynamically added images. The code works fine when i play the movie on local machine, but when i play the movie from the server bytesTotal is always 0. It even says 0 after the images has finished loading. what i'm doing is basically: createEmptyMovieClip() , i then use a movieClipLoader to load jpeg into that empty movieclip. the movieClipLoader has a listener attached and with the listener i use the function onLoadProgress() to display bytesLoaded and bytesTotal all of these things occur within one function.. bytesLoaded works fine both on local machine and from the server

i wonder if it's possible to load an image to a flash movie from your local hard drive without uploading the image to the server?
eg: loadMovie("C://yourImage.jpg");
it works fine locally, but once i upload it to the server, the image won't be loaded.
the reason is, i want to build a flash site that allow users to create an e-Card using their own image from local drive. i don't want users to upload anything to the server.

I have an actionscript file which provides me with xml data. But I m not being able to save it to the local host machine. The code i m using to save the file is just the normal one i.e
var xml : XML = <save><instruments/></save>;
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.save(xml,"NewFileName.xml");
I've tried saving the data as byteArray first n saving it in a xml file. That didnt work. I've flash player 10 installed and I m working in Flash Professional CS5. I have also used a hex editor and changed my swf file's 7th and 8th bits from 09 to some A0 as directed in a website but I m always getting an error which is
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method save through a reference with static type flash.net:FileReference.

I've been given a bit of a dog to work on. I'm upgrading a flash presentation that runs via an xml feed. I've added several dynamic flash graph generators external swfs through this data feed but can't seem to pass a query string to the flash presentation via this xml feed. This query string provides an alternate XML datasource for the graph generator.s
I would really like to be able to pass this query string as the current flash graph generators are running off a hardcoded xml filename and I would like to offer some flexibility. I've investigated further and the main presentation loads these extra "slides" with the loadMovie AS which should accept query strings but NOT locally. Is there a workaround to make loadMovie work with query strings locally? I can't run the presenation on a server!!
For example. This XML works locally with the flash presentation;
<slide>
<name>Chart 1</name>
<bullet>chart01.swf</bullet>
</slide>

I have a news ticker that I modelled after the kirupa tutorial that was given:
[URL]
When I run it on my local machine it works just fine the way I expect it to. However when I put it on my website, it does not work at all. I have another flash file (.swf) on my webpage which is just a simple countdown timer and that works just fine so I don't think this problem has anything to do with MIME types.
Here is the code I used to embed the .swf file onto my website:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("http://428the.calvin.hostingrails.com/XMLParser/sports_ticker1.swf", "headerAnimation", "390", "180", "0", "#FFFFFF");
[Code].....
Neither of these worked. I just have no idea what I am doing wrong. I don't know if there is something I should be coding differently in my actionscript. I am very new to AS programming. how to get the .swf file to appear on my website would be great.

My question is about XML loading. I need to avoid xml caching. On a web server, the technique is adding a random param to reload each time the XML file. But on local testing (in Flash CS4 IDE, CTRL + Enter), the following lines are not possible :
var my_date : Date; path = "toto.xml?time="+my_date.getSeconds()+my_date.getMilliseconds();
Is there any trick to bypass this issue ? I've read on different forum about the "delete" method, we delete the xml object and then recreate one new.

I am a newbie to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know whether this is the correct place to post this kind of queries/problems/issues here. Till now, I had posted only basic flash issues here in this forum. I feel this is the most powerful issue which created head-ache to me till now. I spent nearly 4 hours working with this issue. But, I don't find any solution even in google.I have created a swf file, which when gets executed, gets data from backend database and displays as items in Combo-box. In swf file, if we select an item from Combo-box, collects data from database and gets back to flash and displays them as items in Combo-box. Each item has a specific image(.jpg file)associated,which gets displayed on stage of flash file(.swf file) upon selected from combo-box.
I am calling/invoking the flash file, When I click on a Button/select a tab created within my Java application.But,when the button gets clicked/tab gets selected, Combo-box is visible in flash file, but with no elements when we try to click upon it and the following error is getting displayed in a dialog-box:Title of the error is: An action-script error has occured.[URL]

I'm using loadSound to load in external MP3 files and they load and sound great on the local machine but don't work when I upload the files to the web. I'm pretty stumped. The MP3 files are only like 10k and 60k so it can't be a size issue (I'm on a T1 line here at work too). Here is the site: [URL] Basically when you walk close to the fire you should hear the fire crackling and it will get louder as you get even closer. Everything works on my PC, just not online.

I have the fonts embedded (Yet it still prompts me saying missing fonts every time I open flash, but not the fonts that aren't resizing correctly)
I have a function that takes in a textfield, resizes the font to fit the text box, works fine on my local machine, does NOT work on other machines.
why this doesn't work? here is the function
function fontSizeChanger(dtb,myWidth)
{
dtb.embedFonts = true;
var myFormat:TextFormat = dtb.getTextFormat();

I am writing a small flex application that will, eventually, call PHP services to perform its work. In the meantime, however, I would like to have it use local data in XML form to allow me to develop the Flex part independently of the data service.
What is the best way to do this? I want to emulate a service like this:
[Code]...
And invoke the service using issuerService.send(), populating my results as expected. How do I do this as though it were a RemoteObject instead, but keep my data local?
