Actionscript 2 - System - Security.loadPolicyFile Not Loading From The Custom Location (Flash)
Nov 8, 2010
Specifically, the developer of a web service I'm trying to call has installed a cross-domain policy file on his server at:[URL] So, in my SWF, I'm calling this:
[Code]....
Of course, it's not there, so it fails to load. (If the developer could install the file at the root, I wouldn't have this problem, so I wouldn't be using System.security.loadPolicyFile in the first place). It's not just in the IDE - when I test the app in Firefox with Firebug, I can see that the SWF is attempting to load the policy file from [URL].
I've stripped down the SWF so that it does nothing else but attempt to load the policy file from the subdirectory, and it still fails. So, I don't think this has to do with any idiosyncrasies of my specific app. Bottom line - does the System.security.loadPolicyFile work? Is there something else I need to do in conjunction with that call to get it to work? Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?

I need to figure out a way to check if a crossdomain policy file has been loaded before initializing a certain component. The component won't work correctly if the crossdomain policy hasn't been loaded. Is there a way to do this? I can't figure out a way to get this working. This is the script I'm using:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.remotewebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");

URL...I'm trying to connect to the java server which sends back the policy data.From the IDE, absolutly nothing happens.Where can I start to know what's going on? I've looked at so many forum posts and exemples but nothing seems to correspond to my problem.the policy file allows all, the ports are open, the file and directory of my local swf are added to the trusted list in the flash global security settings.I'm using Security.loadPolicy File ("xmlsocket://xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"); with the right IP and open port which my server listens to.

I try to use Security.loadPolicyFile() and Flash Player goes on error because my firewall stop it. It's ok.
But, when I put the method into the Try{} Catch{} statement, I can not intercept the error.

I have a Flex 4 application the needs to retrieve XML from a web service and the web service does not sit on the same server as the Flex 4 application.
I was getting the Sandbox security violation #2048, I eventually figured out that I needed a crossdomain.xml file on the web service server which I put in C:Inetpubwwwroot. Tried again and all was good, it worked.But, I don't want the crossdomain.xml file to reside in the root of the server because I only want the crossdomain.xml file to affect the directory the web service is in.So I put the crossdomain.xml file into the directory where the web service resides and used Security.loadPolicyFile() but it does nothing, I get the Sandbox security error again. I checked with HTTP traffic with Fiddler2 and the request is being made successfully so I know that the application is getting the file, it just doesn't seem to be using it.
Is there something I'm missing? Below is the AS code I'm using, i tell the application to use the policy file in the application complete event handler, and i load the xml in the buttons click handler.

I'm trying to research some support for this but not getting very far, so I'm hoping you all can help. Is it possible to do something like the following:
Code:
Security.loadPolicyFile("*.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");
The purpose is to not have to create multiple SWFs for each subdomain and not have a list of absolute urls because we do not want this:
Code:
Security.loadPolicyFile("mobile.mywebsite.com/crossdomain.xml");[code]........

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'm doing a project based on youtube videos and BitmapData Draw method. It works fine inside flash authoring but when I upload it on a web server the draw method does not work due to security issues. I tried different methods like
ActionScript Code:
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("[URL]");
flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile("[URL]");
Or this [URL] but it seems there's no way to make it work.

I'm attempting to create a template with one simple change to the file output location. I need the .swf file to placed in a subfolder, i.e. "output/filename.swf" Instead of the default "filename.swf"My problem is, if I edit the output file name field in publish settings in any way, the export file name is now locked, meaning if i have used my new template to create 3 fla files, they will all be named the same thing and replace one another in the output folder i've created. (trying to eliminate the need to open the publish settings menu here)I was hoping there was a variable like ${filename} or something i could use, but cannot find something like that.

after upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5, i get a "Security Sandbox Violation" when loading a XML-file. With CS3 everything was fine, but now my file is not working any more. The XML-file and my SWF-file are stored in the same directory and it nether work local nor on the webserver.
I don't know the correct message in english, but flash tells me something like:
"Security Sandbox Violation"
access to file:[]data.xml disconnent - not allowed from file:[]myfile.swf
Why am I not allowed to load an XML-file from the same directory/domain any more? And how can I get my data into my flash-File now? It doesn't seems to be a Flash-Player-Problem, because an older version with the same code still works. So the problem has to be located in Flash CS5.5

I have a swf loading an XML with links to copy and images loading into a swf. When inside the "stars" folder the html page index.html, which loads the swf loads all the jpg and text files fine: [URL] However, when embed a link to the swf file [URL], into the page a folder above the stars folder, which is just [URL]... none of the images load. Nothing loads actually. I figure it's a security issue with sandbox, but I created a crossdomain.xml file and added an allowDomain to my starsFA.swf file.

My SWF resides on domain A, is loaded by a web site on domain B and is trying to ping URL (URLLoader.load) on domain C. But I am getting "#2048: Security sandbox violation" .. why? Of course I have read the manual, I saw the security white paper but I do not understand it. Don't you know any blog or such where it is explained for dummies? With lots of examples and maybe a table showing what is allowed and what is not?

I have been working with xml sheets to load a menu and in order to load a submenu or to go to a submenu of a submenu, I was wondering if it is possible to load a variable location for an xml.
For example, if I had the variable xmllocation which was a string that said where in an xml a certain menu was, is it possible to use the xmllocation variable for something like this:
( if xml.xmllocation.length() > 0 ) do something;
whenever I tried messing around with it, it would actually go to look for "xmllocation" in the xml instead of check what the string is. So what I guess I am really asking is, is there a way to tell it not to be so literal?

What I am trying to do is create a movie clip that will load an external swf then control it from the _level0 movie. The problem I am running into is loading it into the right location.
Code:
duplicateMovieClip(this.option,this.menu[context+"_"+optionnumber],this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(this.menu[context+"_"+optionnumber])
this traces out "undefined"
I know this.option has been loaded correctly
I know this.menu exists as an empty movieclip
[context+"_"+optionnumber] traces out as expected
It Works fine as an attachment from library using attachMovie, if I convert that library item to an external SWF then try to duplicate the movieclip into the same location it dosnt work. Does duplicateMovieClip not support what I am trying to do? Is there another way to acomplish this?

I am connecting to a Java game server via an XMLSocket and serving the crossdomain.xml policy file via loadPolicyFile(). The problem is, the thing either works, or it doesn't Is there any way I can get any status information back from loadPolicyFile() ?file didn't load, file is invalid, anything. Is there a way to attach an onLoad handler to this? The documentation claims that this thing will wait for a response before it attempts any connections.

I'm trying to access a flv file on a remote server from swf. It works perfectly from my local machine going to the remote folder. But, when I upload it to my web host, it doesn't load the remote flv. I'm guessing there's some kind of permission issue on my web host. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root dir with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy>
