As2 :: Differences Between Flash And Web Browser Loading Remote Swf
Aug 18, 2011
I am working on a project where I need to load a remote swf file into another using flash and as2. This should be simple, but the remote swf file is modular by design (i.e it needs to make calls to load other swf files into it) When I enter in the location to the remote swf file from a web browser it has no problem loading up. When I try and load the swf file using flash I get errors relating to the file system. It seems the flash being loaded into my flash is trying to load its other pieces and is looking for them on my computer.

I created a photo album viewer which grabs an XML file from my web site, and then parses the XML to get the paths to all the photos to be displayed by the album viewer. The code makes use of the URLLoader class to fetch the XML. The problem, though, is that in google Chrome it works-- but in IE8, it doesn't work. For example, the XML code and the image fetching code work seemlessly on Chrome. But in IE8 and in IE6, it seems to not be able to fetch such information.
I've read somewhere that you need a crossdomain.xml file at the root directory of your server. But I'm not crossing any domains! It's all coming from my server where the swf is being hosted!

I am designing a fairly simple site made up of a swf (AS3) in an html page. I'm relatively new to it all, but was doing ok until recently! The problem I have is this: The swf within the html loads perfectly from my local drive in all browsers, but when published to the remote server does not display correctly in Safari or Chrome... It is fine in Firefox.
To see it correctly, use Firefox and the link below. To see it fail at the preloader (in fact, it distorts the design of the pre-loader and goes no further) use Chrome or Safari. [URL] The site is unfinished, so there are other issues you may find which I am solving, but this is the one of concern.

I have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.

Really puzzled by the flaky behavior of LocalConnection. Using a debug utility(LuminicBox) that uses localConnection to work.
When the page containing the swf is loaded in a browser locally , localConnection works.
When the identical page and swf are viewed 'live' on a remote site, localConnection fails.

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'm developing a simple Flash animation using Flash Professional CS5 and I'm writing some ActionScript code. I noticed there's a choice between using different versions of ActionScript.Wondering what the key differences are between 2.0 and 3.0...?

From a developer's point of view, are there other differences between Flash and AIR to take into account, apart from the certificate and AIR not supporting ActionScript 2.0?

I used Jamie Durrant's tutorial for making a chat bot in flash. Everything works fine, but one thing which makes the bot remember people works only if the fla file is published in Flash Player 6 version. There are 4 symbols: a button, user, reply and custid: user is the textbox where the user inbuts the text, reply is the textbox that displays the bot's reply and custid displays the id of each person. If the version is newer than flash player 6 it says "undefined". It's a local shared object, I think. Could this code be edited to work in later versions or I have to stick with flash player 6 (the graphics are worse even at lossless compression)[code]

We have lots of log information (syslogs, database logs...etc) which is in CSV format. I need to present this information to key management about the activiites from the logs in Visual format but still has dynamic links. For the management sake, I need this application to be cross platform (Windows, MacOSX, Linux).What tool do I need to use Flash, Flex or (something else like Java)?

I have two text boxes on the same window. They are both set to Arial 14 Regular but they both appear very differently. To see what I am referring to: [URL] and go to the Conversion Tools at the bottom of the page. Click on Surface Finish and type in a value in the two different fields and click calculate. I really don't see anything that could be causing this difference in appearance.

of a complex question to me, but it's coming from an absolute beginner and it might be considered a stupid one, that's why I posted here...I've kind of been dropped in the deep end with this task and I can't get it right... I have a company's organisational chart in flash where it loads in each person's name dynamically for their department and when you click on it it brings up their CV information such as name, qualifications etc. This is loaded into a dynamic text box. I can test it locally with an xml file and then switch back to the online version.The local version I check by switching to "strXMLpath = "organisation.xml";" where things are laid out as follows:
Code:
<organisation>
<bod>

I am using the "loadSound" method to load an external mp3. The problem is I need to load the mp3 from a remoter server (the file is not local to the swf). From my searching, I can't seem to find out if this can be done.
My code follows:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcSoundHolder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var sndAudio:Sound = new Sound(mcSoundHolder);
sndAudio.loadSound("[URL]", false);
sndAudio.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void {
if(bSuccess) {
this.start();
}};

I have this FLV player that pulls all of the data (poster frame url, flv url, etc...) from an external xml file "prefs.xml" that's in the same root as the swf. That all works nicely.[url]...
I know cross-domain policies come into effect, and I actually have one hard-coded into the swf, and linked from the prefs.xml file so you can change the url of that document.[code]...

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>

I had some code directly in the timeline that accessed/modified properties of some movie clips.
I then did the proper thing and moved the code to a Document class. I put the code that was formerly in the timeline into the document class constructor.
The issue I'm having is that if I access the movie clip properties "too soon" it reports that they are null. If I put the code in a timer event callback for half a second or so, or put an addFrameScript call with a frame of around 8 or higher, the movie clip references are valid and it all works.
So for some reason by the time the code in the timeline gets called all of the movie clip instances are valid. However, when inside of a document class constructor, they are not. I've tried using the ENTER_FRAME event callback but the movieclips still aren't ready.
The code is supposed to change some movie clip properties based on some loaderinfo parameters, so I do kind of need to set those properties before anything starts animating.

I have a flash movie that reads an xml file in the same directory as the .swf. This works perfectly when I just try running the .swf file, but when I add it to my website it cant seem to load the xml file. The swf and xml are in the same directory on the site and I have also tried loading the xml from a url like this: test.load('http:url....'); But this wouldnt work either :
var test:XML = new XML();
test.ignoreWhite = true;
test.load('doors.xml');[code]..........

What I want is to have my application be able to load a .TTF or .OTF file.What I found so far is people embedding their fonts into an .SWF and using the Loader class to load the font that way.That does not work for me because I want people using my system to be able to upload their own fonts, and not forcing them to embed it in an .SWF, because I want to keep my system as simple as possible.

Ive been having trouble with Flash Player for quite some time now. I can watch some videos, but it takes some struggling to get them to work.
For example, on NFL.com, I can't watch any videos by clicking "Play", the video will just grey out and remain that way forever. However if I can find the video on the list underneath the player, sometimes when I click on the thumbnail the video starts automatically and I can watch it.
On Patriots.com things are a little worse. The player controls underneath the video don't load at all and I cant watch

There are two external swfs loaded in one main flash file - the rolling ball, which is a default external swf, and the circles swf, which loads after the gray button is clicked. I would like the circles swf to load into the blank movie clip I have set up. I would like the external swf contained within the blank movie clip to be full browser flash and scaleable with any change in browser size. To do this, I set up some actionscript to make the blankmc full browser and scaleable (i've done this on a regular movie clip slide show from within a flash file, rather than being an externally loaded swf, and it worked.) with the hope that the blank movie clip and its contents, which would be the external circles swf file, would resize and rescale appropariately if the browser window were changed.
Currently, when the gray bar is clicked, the circles swf comes in not as full browser. Once the window is resized, the animation relocates itself to the lower right corner, with the top corner of the external swf situating itself on the center of the blank mc. I know this is a registration issue, but before resize the animation is where i want it. Also, while the scale of the circles animation does change with the browser window size, it does so i a wacky way.

Is there any differences in Actionscript 3 between Flash CS3 and Flash CS4? Apart from Flash CS4 having extra inversekinematic functions, is everything else the same, actionscripting-wise?
