XMLSocket Works While Testing In CS3, Not In A Browser?
Aug 16, 2009
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.

I have created a painting app and when the user want's to save his drawing he simply hits the save button and a dialog pops up - or should do.
When testing locally on dev machine it's no problem but whenever the app is loaded in a browser it won't work. Even if I load the local SWF file in a browser it won't work.
The following code is what I use to save the file and as said it works fine locally but whenever it goes into a browser it dosen't.The save dialog simply never pops up.
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(canvas.width, canvas.height);
bitmapData.draw(canvas);
var jpg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(100);

I'm trying to make a socket client in FlashAS3 for my socket server written in nodejs. I also have a mobile app client that communicates with it.
In AS3 I wrote some test code that works perfectly when I publish and run Windows EXE file but when publishing to SWF and opening in browsers it does not connect to server. Even all that "imports" do not help. The Code:

I have done everything in my knowledge and everything i can find in Google to successfully connect to a simple php socket server that I create on my friends server.I can connect to the server successfully as long as the flash file is not on the server.If I "run" the fla on my computer, it works perfectly.I also sent the SWF to my friend who owns the server and he was able to get it to work running from his computer.He had a security thing at first but was able to change his settings to get it to work.I have tried uploading the swf to one of my servers and run it but it did not work either.As found in google, I added a crossdomain.xml file to the server and allowed any possible path that could be used. Nothing seems to work unless the flash is running straight off of the users computer.I have also tried the loadPolicyFile and it did not help either.

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.

I spent probably 12 hours today trying to make this mp3 player work with my limited AS2 knowledge and finally got something that looks and works the way I want it to! Hooray! Except when I uploaded it, it didn't work anymore. Where the XML data is supposed to be, it just says "undefined." I've searched everywhere for an answer and am not finding anything that fixes it. I've tried moving the files around so they're in the same folder, renaming them, making the path absolute, using gskinner's XML2 classI don't know what else to do[URL]As I was writing this, the site on my desktop where I've been working decided it would load the xml after all...but my laptop is still not cooperating, so there's still something wrong. Maybe it's not loading the xml until the songs are all downloaded?

I am making a flash site and there is a main SWF which loads and unloads all other SWFs into and from it. For example, there are links to pages Home, Biography, Gallery, etc. When you click the Gallery link, gallery.swf loads and it is added to the main SWF.
So here's my problem: when I test my movie, everything works perfectly, but when I open the SWF that was created by testing movie in a stand-alone Flash Player or a browser, those SWF's sometimes don't load. If I click Biography link, for example, it usually doesn't load biography.swf but if I click Gallery link, which may or may not load gallery.swf, and then Biography link, there's a greater chance that biography.swf will be loaded.

I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

I have one main SWF, called `top.swf` which loads about five other SWFs.`top.swf` first loads an XML file with the URLs of the SWFs, then it attempts to load the SWFs. The URLS for the SWF files are absolute.Currently, everything works within the Flash CS3 IDE. The SWF files are loaded and displayed, and the SWF files load additional external assets (Bitmaps).
When I test the application in the browser, it haults. I think it is stopping at the loading of the SWFs, but it is not throwing an IOErrorEvent, so the URLs are correct.In both the IDE and the browser, I am using the same URL information. It is all under http://localhost/.One thing that is different is that I am using a custom class to load the XML and SWF files and then they are returned to the main Document class.
*Edit*I believe I have pinpointed the problem to this class. The class runs fine but does not seem to reach the method called `singleLoaded()`.
Code:
package mtm.net
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.errors.IOError;
[code]....
Okay, well I've tested the MultiLoader class above in a separate test app and it works fine loading the SWFs. There are 5 SWFs that are being loaded.I have now discovered that only 3 of the SWFs are being loaded, so the _totalLoaded variable in MultiLoader never reaches the value of _totalToLoad.

I've made an AS3 application loading and manipulating some XML data. The application works but there are some errors in the Output panel I'm unable to get rid of. But when I publish to HTML they also show up in FireFox.How can I flag them as non crusal and prevent them from popping up. Or even better correct and remove them?

I've created a Flash file that reads from several different xml files and displays them when requested. When I run the Flash player, (by pressing Command-Space within Flash), it all works flawlessly. But when I open it within a browser, only one of the xml files loads, the other two just spin away on the preloader.I have another Flash file that is doing the same thing. A click on a scrolling new list should take you to another web page. In Flash Player it works fine, but from a Browser nothing happens

I wrote an app that uses the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight to position various elements. It works beautifully when I run the swf in the standalone player, but when I upload it to a site and view it in the browser the positioning is all wrong!

My project works fine in the flash player. However when I upload it online and try to play it in the browser it becomes slow to the point of crashing. It seems to work on chrome, it super slow on IE, and it completely crashes Firefox. It is difficult to debug since it takes a while for me to repetitively upload to the server. What would cause this kind of slow down? Could it be that I have a large number of embedded files using Flashpunk?

I've been developing a game that uses hitTestPoint to determine a collision between an ball and a shape. This method has been working fine if I just test the swf in flash but as soon as it's embed in a browser the hitTestPoint stops function.

It rarely happened, I use a flash in exe type to access url in local server. It usually success to access the url. When it fail to access the url, open the ie to access the browser. the url works. After using browser, flash success to access the url. The url would return the JSON content. I use URLLoader to load url, and the return error is no responding when it happen.
If the error happen, it would not access the url even restart the computer.

I am aware of the new FlashBuilder 4.5 mobile application settings. I am aware that it uses an enhanced version of AIR to make apps that work well on mobile devices, which would normally mean that I can't have it run in the browser. I'm also aware that I should be able to get the enhanced performance if I create a swf with the correct compiler settings, and use the correct base components for my application. What are the correct base components? Spark or MX or something else? What are the correct compiler settings? I need the application to work for both desktop users, and mobile users who visit the website through their flash enabled browser.
There are three important features.
Being able to load a file from the mobile device/computer.
Being able to have the softkeyboard activated when needed.
Good mobile performance

Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files off my disk.
This thread talks about the cache blocking trick:

I have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.

I'm having trouble connecting to a remote persistent shared object. When I run from the Flash authoring environment it works. But when I run it from a browser it doesn't. The code attaches an event listener to the sync event, and then calls so.connect(nc).
As mentioned - it works inside Flash authoring only. In both cases the connection to the server is successful. I also tried setting client.readAccess to "/" in the application.onConnect function of the server-side code - but it doesn't help. (Everything was written by me including the server-side application code. I have full control and access to the server).
Also, I can see the remote object exists on the server in the admin console.And as mentioned, when running inside Flash CS5 - the onsync gets triggered after connecting to the shared object.But, the same code under a browser - doesn't trigger the onsync.The SharedObject.getRemote method on the client side returns an object on both occasions.

I've been creating this banner: [url removed] which accesses an xml document, replaces some texts etc, but as soon as you open it up in a browser (like with the dropbox link I pasted) the banner only loops on the first movie clip. Put in another way: The banner you see is looping through only the first movie clip. But the swf file (and the html file) work fine from the local path of my computer.

I'm having a problem with pathways. I have a main sfw called "loadgallery.swf" and upon clicking buttons in that movie, it loads other swf galleries into a container called "movie." It is working when I test it in Flash, but not when I put it into an html page (two levels up from the swf files) and preview it in a browser.Here's the AS on a button (which works when tested in Flash):
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("../../galleries/swfs/gallery1.swf", movie);

I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.

I have numerous swf files which work except one that is rather complex. When I debug the FLA of this problem file in flash CS4, it works fine. When I publish the FLA and open the subsequent SWF in Flash, it works fine. I open the same file in Flash Player or when I open it on a browser, the screen is white and nothing happens. When a right click on the browser frame and it offers me all the possibilities of a fully loaded movie, except that there is just a blank screen
