does Flash comply with HTTP Location headers? For example, if Flash makes a POST request to URL>... and it returns Location: URL..., will Flash return the data in in 1.xml upon completing the POST request?

I have a Flash object that sends an URL request with URLLoader. However, how do I make it follow those Location: redirections in headers?
View 1 RepliesI have a banner in actionscript 2, that posts to a URL, and gets a response back. The http header from that is then used to figure out if the posting was successful. This works like a charm i IE, but in Firefox and Safari, the Flash player shomehow interprets the HTTP header as a 0, no matter what the browser actually gets. My guess is that it's what's described here [URL]...
View 1 RepliesI get this error when I try to run my application as a standalone SWF. In case the application is run from the Flash IDE, the application works fine.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to insert a HTTP header into the request that is made when a .SWF requests a .FLV movie via the flvplayback object. Here's my scenario.
We are using Akamai to distribute our flash video so it loads faster. Our current set up involvels 4 primary components:
1. HTML sitting on our corporate webservers.
2. SWF being served by the Akamai servers.
3. FLV file being served by the Akamai servers.
4. flvplayback skin (SWF file) being hosted by the Akamai servers.
When the HTML file loads into the browser, it requests the SWF, which then loads the flvplayback skin and FLV video. This whole process works until you add security to the mix. We have referer security, which means that that Akamai-hosted files won't load unless the requesting domain is one of our corporate domains. The referer is usually passed over in the HTML header, so the HTML file can successfully request and load the SWF from the Akamai servers. However, when the SWF then requests the skin and FLV file, they don't load because the referer header isn't passed over in this request.
How do I insert the referer header into the SWF request for the FLV and flvplayback skin? I'm assuming this needs to be done from within the flvplayback instance in my SWF file, but I don't know how to reference that. I tried the following, but it didn't seem to work:
myFlvPlayback.URLRequestHeader("Referer", "http://mycorporatedomain.com/requestingpage.html");
With the Actionscript code below I'm sending an array to the server and receiving two responses: the HttpStatus response and a header with several information, like server info, location, etc. Does anyone have an idea how to read these server information? I cannot find any method or class, which would read the header info.
[Code]...
I have a RESTful resource that gets looked up from a flash widget client. If the resource is not found, the ActionScript will create the resource by posting to a URL like /articles.xml with the appropriate data. If this is successful, the backend returns a 201 status and sets the HTTP Location header with the address of the newly-created resource. My understanding was that ActionScript, upon seeing the location header set, would essentially grab the document at that URL like a redirect and make it available to me in the XML object. Here's some code:
Code:
var create_params:String = "<article><foo>abc</foo><bar>xyz</bar></article>";
var create_xml:XML = new XML(create_params);
var reply_xml:XML = new XML();
reply_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
create_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code] .....
The resource gets created as expected, which means the 'send' part works fine. And if I examine the results returned in a sniffer, or test using Curl, the Location header is indeed set by the server side. However, the Flash never makes a request to my server for the new resource and therefore when I examine the XML object, there isn't any data there. Is this not how sendAndLoad is supposed to react to the location header? I can't seem to find any documentation on it or other people with similar issues, so I'm kind of puzzled. If it doesn't auto-redirect to grab the new resource, is there a way I can pull the value of the location header into a variable so I can at least manually fetch it?
I'm sending POST request using URLLoader and URLRequest with XML data. Then API sends response with redirect page(Location header) and i want to get this URL. How do I catch this response?

I have been researching all day and there are many different solutions, none that are straight forward. I am currently in the process of making a website in Dreamweaver which has a flash header. Problem is the flash header reloads when you go to every page. Is there a simple (I'm a noob) way I can get the flash header to stay open at the top of the website, and the content of each page just change when you go to each page. Thus the flash header and nav buttons do not reload on every page. To review the pages so far; [URL]..

View 3 RepliesI am new to flash and I have created a website header in Photoshop, published in Dreamweaver but its too static. The header consists of a company name and 3 images on the right hand side along with 3 menu tabs below it. When a client clicks on a menu the header stays the same on every page but I would like to have the 3 images in the menu to transition to another set of 3 images as the user clicks on a menu.

View 1 RepliesI've a simple template I purchased with a flash header. There is a top navigation across the top of the header in previewing it. However, no matter how much I try to locate each of the text to change it per button, in the library, all of the buttons have the same name, in this particular, "main page", but NOT the rest of the menu from left to right in preview mode. I've went through every single library item to locate how to simply change the text, that's all for each of the menu items and cannot find the residual text for each button on the top of the preview navigation. In my library there is no navmenu or anything like that. [code]...
So, no where else in the library do I see, in this particular, the text of the residual navigation items which in this case is at the top of the header. This is nuts. I need to change the remaining items in the top navigation, to things like "main page" which already have, then "buying", "selling, "movng" and so forth, but cannot find how to change the current text. So simple, but I can't figure this out.

View 3 RepliesI am using a web template for a client that contains a flash header. Images and text can be changed with a data.txt file and image replacement. However I also need to change the colors of the button backgrounds and one of the display fields...I have macromedia flash 8, the fla and swf files.
I work in expressions a lot and not in dreamweaver or macromedia 8; I've opened the files in M8, but this is totally over my head right now.
"Accept" is not listed in the forbidden headers in the documentation here: http:[url]............but cant seem to set it in a GET request.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project built in Flash AS2.One of the things I need to do is load JSON data. In the past, I've had no problem with this - LoadVars works just fine.However, on this project, the JSON service that I'm calling requires the http request to include an ACCEPT header with "application/json".
LoadVars has an addRequestHeader method that allows me to add or change HTTP request headers, but according to the documentation, those headers are only sent with POST actions.Of course, in my case, the JSON service only allows GET requests.I tried using addRequestHeader anyway, but the header is not sent.(Of course, I could rebuild the application using AS3, which allows me to use URLLoader and URLRequest, but the application has WAY to much legacy AS2 code...)
I have a flash header on my site - nothing crazy, just a short clip. It works in safari and opera on the mac and all IE versions on PC. It will not work properly on firefox on either PC or Mac. Firefox seems to be putting a gap of 10-20px under the flash I have looked up many fixes for this as it seems to be a known problem. I have seen people say it's because the "object" element it treated like letters in FF, so it allows room for the "tails" on a G and Y etc (not sure if I explained that well enough, hopefully you get the idea). I have tried margin:0; padding:0; line-height:0; font-size:0;
float:left; vertical-align:middle; and clear;both; - not at the same time, I have tried many combinations and got most of these ideas from other threads/articles where people had found a solution. I have tried this CSS on an id attached to the object, on the element object and on the parent div - I just can't seem to fix it! Also, as a side note - I've noticed the flash looks good in IE6, IE7 but IE8 makes it looks awful - can anyone explain why or confirm that is what they see? Im a mac user so borrow a laptop to test, it would be good to hear if anyone else see's this problem.
I have a script, either through Greasemonkey or as a Chrome extension, on a page that contains a Flash application. That flash application sends out POST requests e.g. [URL].
Is it possible for the script running on that same page to capture the request header sent by the Flash code? Kind of like Tamper Data, Fiddler and the like do. EDIT: Just a little more info. I don't need to redirect or alter the request coming from the Flash application. I just to be able to read in the header and save that information in a variable in the user script / extension that is running on the same page.
[URL]I want to play the home page animation once only - and when visitors come back to the home page - it would ideally go to the last frame (or?). I have seen 'mentions' of Flash objects (cookies) and other scripts but have yet to see the actual script to make this work.I'm using Flash MX 2004 (version 7.2)?

How do I make sure that:
- the cityscape moves over the full width of the screen, regardless of the size of the screen?
- the logo remains correctly positioned?
