Flash Not Connecting Via Open-socket
Jan 1, 2010
I have moved on now to where this is clearly a Flash security thing.I have a flash client that attempts to connect to an open socket on the same host as the one on which it lives.I am able to connect successfully from inside the Flash IDE, and when I run the swf movie locally on my machine, after granting it security clearance in the white list it connects as well. However, when I call the movie via the browser (URL...) it fails to connect.The socket reports that a connection attempt is made but immediately disconnects.I have a crossdomain policy file that looks like this: in the root directory of the host.[code]In the flash movie I have a line that looks like this: System. security. loadPolicyFile (URL...);And I'm thinking maybe that's where the problem is, but the documentation on how to use this method is not entirely clear. I'm in Flash CS3

I was just doing some testing using PHP sockets and Flash. I used several things, one thing is this tutorial:I have the server running, and when I run the swf via Flash it connects fine. But when I run it from the browser it can't connect.. Because that Tutorial is in AS2, I also wrote a quick client to connect with AS3, but I'm having the exact same problem.. it only connects if I run it through flash.Here's an example of the basic code:
Code:
var s:Socket = new Socket('my IP', 5445);
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, getData);
[code].....

Here's my code, shortened a lot:
Code:
var mySocket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
mySocket.connect("<my ip address here>", 9999);
mySocket.onConnect = function(success) {
[Code]....
Alright, well this code works fine and dandy when I run the flash from my computer. But when I upload it on the internet it stops working.

I'm trying to make a little ftp upload app - not a full FTP client, just something to enable image upload with decent performance. I basically took the approach Lee used in his POP3 socket tutorial. The problem I'm having is that I can connect to the FTP server and I can authenticate and log in but as soon as I try to enter passive mode for data transfer I get nothing- not even an error. From looking at the FTP RFCs, FTP requires two TCP connections - a command connection and a data connection - does this mean that I need to open a second socket for the data transfer? Another possible issue is the Flash Player security policy not allowing conection to ports under 1024 - I have not placed a policy file or policy server on the host running the FTP server but as I can successfully login, I appear to be able to connect to port 21 (standard FTP port) anyway. The code I'm using is:
Code: Select allvar s:Socket = new Socket("ftp.actechnology.co.uk",21);
var ftp_response:String;
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, receiveReply);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, showError);
[Code].....
why passive mode kills it or has successfully connected to a FTP server with the socket class

I am using a Socket (not xmlSocket) connection between flex applications and the server pushing messages.Now, when I connect from the local machine to the server everything is working file and running, connection is succesful and I get data back and forth.When I upload the application (flex) to the server and run it from there, I get a security sandBox violation message.Note:1. I do have a crossdomain file with * wildcard both on port and on domain.2. I created a Securiy.allowDomain("*") as well.Another thing.I also created another listener on that same server, listening to connections for port 843 (default) and this service just waited for a connection send policy file to the client and that's it.

I have a .fla file, that works with Socket class. There is a server(written in Delphi XE, but it does not matter). I connect to it from my .fla. When i execute my .fla from within Flash Professional CS5 everything works fine. But when i tried to execute resulting .swf from Explorer(Win 7, Flash Player 10) i got an error:
SecurityError: Error #2010: Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not
permitted to use sockets. at flash.net::Socket/internalConnect() at
flash.net::Socket/connect() at payterminal::TLogger() at
[Code].....
After all this, my .swf is still open in Flash Player with no errors, but the socket connection is not happening. I tried different crossdomain-files, but all my attempts led me to same result.

Steve Jobs just posted this article on why Apple rejects Flash... [URL] I agree that javascript and css can be used to replicate some of Flash's animation, though Flash does all sorts of scaling and tweening that is incredibly powerful, and I'm not sure that there's anything comparable in javascript, if there is, I certainly haven't seen it.
However, my question is about the socket. Flash has an incredibly powerful openSocket class that allows you to connect to a server and have the server and the client talk back and forth to one another. As far as I know there is no equivalent class in Javascript. Am I mistaken? Is there some secret mystery Ajax class that replicates the openSocket? If not, then that feature alone makes Flash an invaluable tool.

using kirupa's tutorial " Connecting to a Web Service using Flash" i have added Flash Builder's library into my flash project. I am using HTTPService class of Flex in my flash project. If I repeat this process in separate blank as3 file, its works perfectly fine. But when I only add the flex library in my working flash project, it stops working. No error, no warning. I am really confused. Where should i start troubleshooting? Just adding the library starts the problem, but when I add this in a new as3 flash file, it works fine. All settings are same in both files.

I'm creating a client-server game. My client is a flex based game, and my server is erlang server. At the beginning, when I test directly my flex client in flash player, I can establish a connection easily to my erlang server through socket connection. And both can exchange data with no problem. The problem rise when I deploy my flex app at Apache http server, and running it using a browser by calling [URL] my flex socket sends message requesting for a crossdomain policy to my erlang server. So I create an xml message that represent a crossdomain policy, and send it back to my flex app as a response for that request.
Yet still I can't establish any permanent socket connection between my flex client and my erlang server. I know this because I add listener on my flex socket that will modify its internal state to CONNECTED, if a connection between client-server has established.

I have a Flash client that I want to connect to a server. Both are using localhost and port 50000 so there shouldn't be any cross-domain problems. I also set Access Network Only in the publishing settings. When I call the XMLSocket connect, the server seems to get a new connection. But, the XMLSocket.onConnect callback is not called with success=true.[code]...

The ActionScript 3.0 Reference says the following about flash.net.NetConnection:
The NetConnection class creates a two-way connection between a client and a server. The client can be a Flash Player or AIR application. The server can be a web server, Flash Media Server, an application server running Flash Remoting, or the Adobe Stratus service. Call NetConnection.connect() to establish the connection.
Does this mean I make a regular HTTP connection to any web server using an NetConnection object? I am a little confused about this as further down the section on the connect() method says connect(): Creates a two-way connection to an application on Flash Media Server or to Flash Remoting, or creates a two-way network endpoint for RTMFP peer-to-peer group communication....Pass an "http" URL to connect to an application server running Flash Remoting.. So, the application server has to have Flash Remoting?

I was reading that certain API's are not available when making iPhone apps with flash, such as accessing the camera. Is it possible to still get information from the web and display it in the app using the flash method? The overall plan is to have it pull data from an SQL database using XML, and I was just wondering if that was possible still with flash.

What I am after is to be able to connect to a SQL database directly or via a ASP Page (whichever is easier) to pull out some variables and display them as text in a text field. Basically we have a news section on our intranet (stored in an sql) and I want to be able to pull these out and put them into flash. I have looked on the internet for examples, but everything that I do don't seem to work.

This is what we have... a new Actionscript developer (Me) and a seasoned Visual Basic/ASP developer. We've also got some SQL Servers... We need to write a web application (Flash) that checks user authentication (User Name and Password) against a SQL Server database before allowing the user to continue through the program. After the user completes various components of the eLearning program, a brief quiz will follow. At the end of the whole eLearning program, a lengthy quiz will be given and those results will be scored and stored in a database.
I need to know what is required to do this... this being the database connectivity? I've been seeing PHP/MySQL tutorials but is there some way to hook up into ASP/SQL Server? Furthermore, how exactly does this work? I've read that with PHP, flash will write and store variables in PHP which is then used to get results from the database. I'm not exactly sure tho. If any one can point me to a great tutorial that explains everything about ASP/SQL Server..
