I am developing flash p2p chat. It works fine on my friends' computers (they can chat each other), but not on mine. The problem is that I have local network at home, and I think that Flash Player tries to make p2p requests to peers inside my local network.Can I check if user have local network in AS3 and up the level of network to the WWW?
View 1 RepliesI've heard a couple of people say only 50% succeed, but that sounds suspiciously low and the people saying that are probably all repeating the same rumor. My own very limited tests with various friends & colleagues work 100% of the time, as long as they have Flash Player 10, but that's obviously not right either.
Do you have some data from a largish test or deployment of home/corporate users?
I want to know How does Adobe Stratus work? to get an idea of how to do something like it on my own. So what net hack Stratus uses to work like it works?
View 3 RepliesI am interesting in creating a P2P application using Cirrus [URL]. The examples given create a connection with servers managed by Adobe. I'd like to do this on my Node.js server, how should I implement this? Or does Adobe force developers that use Cirrus to buy Flash Media Servers?
View 1 RepliesI dont want to connect to a server over socket. I would like to know if it is possible to connect from one AIR app on machine A to connect to another AIR app on machine B via sockets without cirrus. I'm not asking for someone else to do my work, I couldnt find any documentation or possibility of the above thing. My conclusion now is that it is not possible, but I would just like it to be verified by other people(experts).
View 2 RepliesI've been fooling with this problem since AS2.0 (and shared Objects) and I'm not much closer to solving it, partly because every article I read on it is focused on php and server-side stuff that doesn't apply. How to load a String Array from a txt file in local user space (the folder from which the .swf is run). What I need to know: The easiest way for the user to save/load a file. The file has to contain Objects and Arrays reflecting his current status in the game. The goal is to avoid non-Flash apps and languages, and external Classes if possible (I do everything right in the main fla). I don't mind that the user has to initiate and approve the upload/download.
View 1 RepliesFor example, in local network, when Adobe Air is reading files from local server (\Serverstorage) and network will be in down for a second, Air becomes eat a lot of memory and it is increasing up to 1GB (while normal memory use is 100 kb or less).Just reading file with File('file path on local server'); from unstable network can cause this error.
Have anybody seen that in projects?

View 1 RepliesI have an HTML file which contains a Flash .FLV player; which then loads a given FLV video and plays it. The idea is all these files are stored locally on the PC as part of an application install, we use HTML/flash for the help/manual. On my PC it works fine but on a user's PC nothing is displayed. However if I host the exact same file-structure online and give them the URL, it works perfectly.
I am guessing this is a security issue of some sort but have no idea how to address it. The browser being used is actually a XULRunner app, i.e it's the FireFox 3 engine but not actually FF. Since my PC isa developer PC it's entirely possible I've done something in the past on another project that makes it work, rather than my PC being special in some way. For reference the HTML has the following in it - this is generated from some 3rd-party app:

Adobe Cirrus offers a number of options for transferring data from peer to peer: Directed Routing, Object Replication and Multicasting to name a few.I just want to send the data to one specific peer, its fine for other peers to 'see' it in transit.
My experiments with Directed Routing (the obvious answer) have not gone well. all the sendto... methods fail, while NetGroup.post works fine on the same netgroup. I am concerned about using direct connections because of reliability.
Has anyone successfully implemented a one to one messaging strategy (not one to many), which can still message between non-connected peers - (Directed Routing) or solved this problem successfully?
I am considering various workarounds, but I am quite perplexed that these NetGroup methods: sendToNearest, sendToNeighbour & sendToAllNeighbours just seem to fail, for no apparent reason.
When I work on my Air Project, I used stop(); to stay in a frame(which is my menu), I built the .air for testing purposes and the frames keep looping, as in, it plays all the frames, and it won't stop as it's instructed to. I'm building my Application in Flash CS5, not Flex.

View 2 RepliesI have a SWF file located at the local network in the public shared folder that I do not control over trying to read the external file on the local network.
I am currently hitting instead an security violation
Error #2148: SWF file file://....mySWF.swf cannot access local resource file://...config.xml"
I've added the network path where SWF an XML file resides to "trusted locations" via Flash Player Global Settings.
The added network path is successfully displayed at the list of "trusted locations" within Global Settings Manager, but it does not look like Flash Player is able to really parse the local network path as a "trusted location"

I have an actionscript app which needs to use SharedObjects. I see how if the user doesn't allow the Flash Player to access local storage, the security settings panel automatically pops up and asks for user input.
My problem is that my app runs with a 1x1 pixel stage, because it doesn't display anything. So the user will never see that panel and the program will seem to hang.
What I want to do is to somehow detect that the user doesn't allow the Player to access local storage so that I can open a new window large enough to display that panel.
The only way I've been able to detect this so far is to try to call SharedObject.flush() and check the return value, but that displays the settings panel.

I am trying to use the Flash + Set the browser to a desktop agent on the Galaxy Tab.
mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101019 Firefox/3.6.11");
mWebview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
So the issues is, when the UserAgentString param is enabled, flash player wont load as many websites like Iplayer don't recognise the browser in the WebView.
This may be a bug in the Samsung browser. Anyone have any desktop agents that the WebView will accept whilst enabling flash?

I have a NetGroup established using Adobe Cirrus. All clients can connect fine and see each other, since I receive NetGroup.Neighbor. Connect and NetGroup.MulticastStream.PublishNotify events when a new stream is being published.However, if a user subscribes to a published stream, the publisher does not receive a notification (no NetStatusEvent and no callback to the onPeerConnect method). The subscriber receives the stream without problems, though.All other questions about the non working onPeerConnect method were related to NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS, but in my case, I am using a NetGroup.
What is wrong here? Only the relevant parts, a few things have been stripped (e.g. connect the netGroup only when the NetConnection has been established etc.)
var groupSpecifier:GroupSpecifier = new GroupSpecifier("group");
groupSpecifier.multicastEnabled = true;
groupSpecifier.postingEnabled = true;[code].....
I'm trying to come up with the best way to do some random match making in a simple game.While experimenting with netStreams using Adobe Cirrus, I can easily set up direct connections, send data, text, video, sound all using Cirrus which is great. I find it pretty easy to get a simple P2P connection going, and it works just like i need it to.But I really want to implement a random matchmaking feature using ONLY cirrus so everything is though p2p...How would I go about grabbing a random peer in the same group...that's not in a direct connection with someone else already?
-I was thinking maybe I could use object replication...and when someone connects to the GroupSpecifier, I could then push another object into this shared array that has the local peerID and their status. then i could just alter the array when theyre in a game. But then im worried there is no guarantee that their entry will get removed if the person just closes the web window.
-I also thought about just doing a "post" to the group containing the nearID, and other peers can get the post...and those that aren't in a game will try and direct connect back. Then that side will then connect to them. so then theyll both be in direct connections with each other. But then i feel like if potentially 100s of people that are "available"...get the post...then they all try and connect to one person, then it could cause problems.
-Also, I thought about just doing sendToNearest...but wouldnt that not be the best way to match people...because you can only have so many neighbors i think... if there were 1000 people in the group. youll only be able to connect to a few peers actually considered your neighbor right? Then basically you could end up just matching up with the same 5-10 people or however are technically considered a neighbor.
What Approach can you use to Connect Adobe Air Application to a Local Network? Examples of function is send a message to other computer that is connected to a network, sending files or viewing their desktop.
View 1 RepliesWe have 10 Windows computers on a small unmanaged gigabit network with a DD-WRT Linksys WRT-54GS router and Dlink 2208 hubs, and were having problems with the network dieing, and nobody able to reach the internet or other computers on the network. It started happening suddenly. There are additionally 3 VOIP lines on this network too and they would be killed.
In troubleshooting, I could see an enormous amount of activity coming from one section of the network. Disconnnecting this segment brought the network back online and functioning correctly. Further tracing based on the flashing lights on the front of the hubs narrowed the problem to one computer, a new Windows XP-64 bit computer. When I brought up the Local Area Connection Status in Windows, I could see an enormous number of packets being sent.
Close to a million packets per second were being sent from this computer.Adobe Flash Player (ver 10,1,82,76) was taking a tremendous amount of CPU time for an idle computer, and killing this in task manager resulted in the network coming back alive immediately. Is this a known problem with Adobe Flash going nuclear and killing an entire network?

View 1 RepliesI manage a number of academic computer labs, three of which are Mac OS X 10.5.8 units with Adobe Flash CS5 installed. Users log in using AD credentials and the client computers are managed with settings in OD Workgroup Manager (MCX records). The AD plugin is set to not force local home directories and users' home directories are located on network storage. ~/Library/Caches/* has been redirected locally, but no other folders are redirected.
Users have been reporting an issue where Flash sometimes appears to freeze during loading. I've been told this has been happening for about two semesters, but I was not aware of the issue until today. It sounds like students have been powering off the machines and logging back in, and hoping Flash will work on that attempt. When a 'freeze' is encountered the Flash splash screen appears and the status below the "Adobe Flash Professional CS5" text states it is "Copying First Run Files..." Checking the console, I can see that Flash appears to be attempting to access files, but is encountering issues. Dozens of times, I see errors like the following:
