Flash Won't Save Cookies + Global Settings Manager Broken
Aug 30, 2009
I've had a problem which has been persisting for a long time now - Flash won't save any cookies to my computer. Originally I thought that it was my security settings, and indeed when I went to the global settings manager I clicked the "unlimited" option for data saves and allowed this for all sites. But when I reloaded the page the changes hadn't been saved. No matter how many times I clicked on the options to allow cookies and give unlimited data storage, whenever I came back the settings had reverted to default, as I had found them originally.
And when I went to C:/Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player#SharedObjects/ I found that there were no folders there, for none of the sites that I had visited.
This problem persists on IE, Firefox and Google Chrome. I've shut off all adblockers, all firewalls, all anti-virus software, uninstalled and re-installed Flash twice and still nothing. I'm at my wits end. I'm running Windows on a PC.

I am having a problem with Flash.I get the message Movie not loaded if I right clich where the video should be.I may have set the hardware acceleration on/off by mistake, but I cannot get the Settings manager to open to check it.I am running Feroda rc14.If I go to http:[url].... and right click in to white area at the top, I get the message 'Movie not loaded' and the flash version - 10.2.159.1. This is where I should be able to open the settings window.Where does Flash store that info on my PC? How can I check it/change it without Settings manager?

i have been developing a game that runs in an on-line version as well as offline. so far everything has been cool, UNTIL! the ID's wanted the ability to make pop-ups in the xml that feeds to htmlText, so that was a little tricky but using TextEvent i was able to turn their links into external interface calls. everything was perfect then i remembered that this thing must be fully functional without any sort of internet connection, SO long story short is there a way to launch/open/prompt the settings manager without intertubez?
if you don't know what the settings manager is, it's this thing, [URL]

there was that update that made it so you cleared flash saves out whenever you cleared your browser's... what was it, cookies or cache? I'm looking it up but Google is being shockingly unhelpful, only giving me advice from the Flash 8 days. The thing is, I would far prefer to manage my flash saves manually. I know that's not the universal preference, but it prevents me from losing saves when developing, and prevents me from losing game saves for that matter.
But I would really like to clear my browser cookies and cache! It's really getting gummed up in here. So my question is: is there a user-friendly way to manage flash saves directly? Is there a way to empty my cache and cookies without losing every flash save I have?

In my application I am accessing a XML file which is in the same location as the fla, yet I have to add my folder location to the Flash Global security settings in order to avoid that infamous Security violation that is thrown. Thats fine in my development environment, however when deployed on a customer's machine they have the same issue. Is there a way programmatically to to trust the xml file and avoid the security violation? NOTE the customer is accessing the swf in 2 ways through a .NET loading mechanism and 2. opening the file location in a web browser (NOT in a we page but opening the swf directly - YES I know this is not recommended - but nevertheless is the customer's preference)

I made a swf that interacts with other site on the internet (which has a crossdomainfile for me).in the main.mxml there is a definition of webservice (mx:WebService)(which is not in my domain). Therefore when loading the swf, there is a first call to crossdomainfile.xml.I put this swf on my server so that my clients can get it.
When i connect to my server to download the swf, i expect to be asked if i want to allow the swf connect to foreign webservice domain.Do i always need to define exception in Global Security Settings panel?I don't want my client do define special things..Is there a best practice for that? Why when i surfing the net other swf can do this? I read about the FlashPlayerTrust, can i define there a website i trust my swf will connect to?

I came to the point where I need to communicate between 2 objects (let's say Tank and the Cannon). It is tile game, and when the Tank approach specific tile I need my Cannon to shot the Tank. When Tank gets that specific tile I want to dispatch some custom event and have listener in Cannon class body to make the shot happen. Other way I would have to check in ENTER_FRAME loop (inside Cannon body class) if the Tank touched tile that runs the Cannon shooting - but this is not elegant and efficient. The issue is complicated by the fact that the Cannon and Tank are added to the Engine (document class) and can't simply hear for each other, because they seat on the same level in display list.
Initially I could addEventListener to the Engine, but this way my document class would enlarge to the XXL size (all listeners functionality, all methods for game etc). What I would accomplish is to have event listener in every Cannon object (defined in body class) listening for Tank's dispatching the event. I saw some 'Centralized Event Manager' article in the net, but can't download full classes [url]...

Once, I wanted to make a large RPG-game. I wanted it to be like Zelda, Diablo2 style of RPG with much Hack-and-Slash but also a little quests and a big world to explore. (a BIG game). A game needs to be programmed, so I had to choose a programming language. I chose Flash, because its easy to make graphics in it, and its not that hard, I thought. The game was planned to be a stand-alone-application that you could have on your computer and play whenever you wanted to. Much like any other game. But, this was not something I thought of in the beginning, games you make in Flash usually is web-games, right? But this RPG I wanted to make was not an online-game, and I didn't want it to be either, because it would be to big to download everytime you wanted to play it.
A RPG-game needs a save game/load game function. But Flash cannot write to external files! This was terrible! Now, its a great safety protection to make flash files not write bad things into your computer. But I need it in order to save my games! There is this way, that flash can load variables from external text files. But is there some way that I dont know about to make it save there to? One way is to make the player manually copy a mass of code (variables) from a window in the game, into the textfile. Any way to write from flash to a textfile?
I know these other two ways of "saving".
1. Using cookies to save and load.
2. Using an online database of some sort to store/load variables.
But they're for online flash applications only... So I'd rather not use them.

I have created an swf that manages to get all urls assigned to the buttons. When I publish the file I set the global security to allow that file to work and all links work. My question is when I transferred the html and swf to a new pc none of the buttons worked I was not even given an option to update global security settings by adding a new location. If I was to load this swf to an ftp media server is that the location I need to allow and can I only do this from the original PC where the file was created as transferring it seemed to make the buttons not do anything.

I can make changes but when i click another tab and come back to the storage settings tab every thing is still set for 'none' etc. This is true for all the tabs. no change I make is retained once another tab is activated or if I close the browser page. I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled. Searched and deleted every entry in the register that I thought may be relevant but no change. would like to be able to enable these options

For a site I'm developing with a user login that uses cookies to store the session ID, a separate section of it uses Flash to provide content and such. Is there some way it can access the cookies that were set the by login? The name of the cookie will not the be same every time, as it is randomly generated, as well as its value. I then need to send the name and value of the cookie back to a page on the server to do additional stuff. Anyone know how to do this? Note that I didn't write the Flash interface, an the person who did doesn't know how to do this.

I'm trying to get data from a website, but first I need to log in to the site using java. The script worked until now, but now the site installed an anti bot system. Until now the procedure was simple, I've created a HttpStreamWriter and submitted my details to the login.php page, then get the cookies and later, when I want to get data from the site, I resubmit the cookie from the login.php page, but now there is a problem: an anti bot system: I'm not sure, but I think this is the system: [URL] The anti bot system creates a cookie, called anti-bot and I can't access the page without that cookie, the problem is that the cookie is generated by a flash application only after the page loads so I can't get the cookie from the page?

So I did the tutorial about SharedObjects, and I created a login movie which works fine.
My questions are as follows: Can i use a shared object I created in one movie (call it "mycookie") in a separate movie on another page, similar to an HTML cookie? If so, what is the syntax?
I tried reusing the mycookie = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile")and it didn't seem to work. =(
Also, I know that alternatively I can pass flash variables to the URL with the POST method, but I forget the syntax. Time is of the essence here (project due tomorrow) so I'd really like some help if somebody knows the answer..

Im running a flash website, Im getting around 15,000 visits per day, and I have allocated 4 areas of the site for advertisements. I want to have 2 types of advertisements: pay per click, and pay per impression/view.Ofcourse there are many php ad managers out there, but how can I display the ads inside of flash? I don't mind if I manage the whole thing in a php page, but at the end, I want the advertisements to be displayed within flash, and ofcourse have all necessary changes made when a user clicks on an Ad (pay per click), or when the Ad is displayed (pay per impression).

Adobe is, in my opinion, intentionally deceptive on a number of levels about the privacy-invading cookies that Flash stores on your machine. These are NOT the cookies that get deleted when you clear your browser cache. These cookies remain on your machine until you MANUALLY DELETE THEM. And Adobe know that most users are not technically proficient enough to even find where they exist.There is a good site that describes how to get rid of them here: [URL]

I'm trying to find a javascript method to delete flash cookies on a page, but with no luck.I know it can be obviously done through flash or flex, but the problem is I know nothing about flash, flex and actionscripts...So my question is: Is there a way to just load a prebuilt flash movie in a page, which just programmatically deletes all the flash cookies it finds?I could find some actionscript code around the internet and didn't look complex, but I don't know how to use it

GI have a problem where a flash player, when run through firefox, is not including the HTTP cookies. These are included when run through internet explorer.
I want to know if anyone knows how to force flash to include cookies when communicating with a flash server?
We have a flash recorder which connects to a red5 server. These connections are opened through a load balancer which offers a pool address. There are multiple servers in the pool.
The recorder sends data using the RTMPT protocol. This sends the RMTP over HTTP (this allows firewall traversal). To ensure data arrives at the correct server we used cookie based load balancing. If a certain cookie is present the load balancer directs the connection to the correct server.
This cookie is set when the user logs into the site through thier web browser. The flash player then includes these cookies in the RTMTP HTTP requests when communicating with the server. This ensures the RMTPT connection is opened to the correct server.[code]...

I'm running a selenium script that tests an authenticated application.
The application uses a flash cookie to know if a user is authenticated to the site. Mid-script I need to delete the flash cookie.
I've tried to script the flash player settings page [URL] with no luck.
We use PHPUnit/Selenium if that helps.

I have a Flash game in one html page, and then I have an html link ("next" button) in another page that will direct the user to the page that contains the Flash game. What I need to do, is to have the "next" button, tell a MC within the Flash game to go to the second frame, and save it as a cookie so it will be at the second frame whenever the user returns to that page with the Flash game. The MC is basically a button and the second frame grays out to show completion. Clicking the "next" button on the previous page verifies that the user has reached the end of that section, which should then trigger the MC in the Flash Game to gray out. I want to set it as a cookie so the user can keep track of their progress.
Anyway, my original thought was to use the Flash External Interface to allow the html "next" button to communicate via JS to the Flash movie, and to use Local Shared Object to set the cookie. Well, I have been trying to employ several of these tactics with no success. :-( I am currently working on a Mac, and need something that works in Firefox on both Mac and PC, and IE for PC.

I am developing a a game in Flash using the PureMVC framework. From time to time I need to show dialog pop-up window to get a user response back (e.g. "Cancel", "OK" and other kinds of asynchronous user feedback) while "locking" the background for interactivity.
I need some management for my pop-ups: all pop-up notifications should be stacked up, so that if two (or more) pop-up messages are initiated at the same time I show them one by one.
What's the best practice here? Should I employ a proxy to manage my pop-ups (sounds unreasonable). How do I get feedback back from my dialog? using notifications?
