Flash :: Execute An External .exe From A Local .swf Using A Local XML Socket Server (C#)
Jan 7, 2012
I'm developing a game add-on/plugin which replaces a built in feature of an online game. The game loads an .swf therefore, my solution also has to be an swf for it to work 'in-game'.
I would like to be able to have the user press a button in the custom .swf I am making - and this would open an external application (amongst other things). I.e. if there was a button that said Notepad, it would open Notepad.exe on the machine.
My initial thinking was that i could have a XML Socket server 'daemon' runnning (c#) , which i could connect to with flash - however, as both the swf and the daemon are local, flash complained and gave this error: "Error #2010: Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not permitted to use sockets."
The only way i know to fix this - is to change the security settings of flash - not very user friendly!
So! Any thoughts on how I could otherwise go about this? I was thinking a custom http server could do the trick (connected with URLRequest) although i'm not too sure.

I am a newbie to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know whether this is the correct place to post this kind of queries/problems/issues here. Till now, I had posted only basic flash issues here in this forum. I feel this is the most powerful issue which created head-ache to me till now. I spent nearly 4 hours working with this issue. But, I don't find any solution even in google.I have created a swf file, which when gets executed, gets data from backend database and displays as items in Combo-box. In swf file, if we select an item from Combo-box, collects data from database and gets back to flash and displays them as items in Combo-box. Each item has a specific image(.jpg file)associated,which gets displayed on stage of flash file(.swf file) upon selected from combo-box.
I am calling/invoking the flash file, When I click on a Button/select a tab created within my Java application.But,when the button gets clicked/tab gets selected, Combo-box is visible in flash file, but with no elements when we try to click upon it and the following error is getting displayed in a dialog-box:Title of the error is: An action-script error has occured.[URL]

I'm trying to load a local xml file:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:
#2148: Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.

Optivote IR8 is basically a voting system with a bunch of remote controllers, which can send IR signals to a receiver, which is connected to a computer through a USB port. And I'm trying to write my own little software for that with Flash.Optivote receiver communicates with software through a virtual serial port. When I connect to that port through PuTTY, I can see signals whenever I press any button on the remote controllers. Although, when I connect to that port through Serproxy (which relays a socket connection to a serial port connection), the remote controllers don't seem to work. I just get the same signal every half a second or so, over and over. I'm guessing the receiver is trying to make some kind of handshake this way.
The thing I can't figure out is what PuTTY does that Serproxy doesn't to make the serial port connection work. Maybe there's some proper way to tell the other end when I connect?(I use Serproxy, because Flash applications cannot connect to a serial port directly, but supports socket connections)

I have some software developed where I have setup good communcation between some VB software and flash software. Communication is done locally via socket connection. I was hoping I could do the same except with two swfs. Who acts as the host? do I need a host?

I 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 am having trouble seeing my flash video on the server. I just see it in my local computer. I save everything and then preview it, copy the code and insert on the bottom site, and no video. Just the skin appears when you roll over the code. [URL]
I have everything in the same folder, I have added the mime types on the server, and it still don't work.

I am having no success playing a short FLV through a SWF on my hosted web site. The video plays without problem on my local PC. This problem only occurs with SWF and HTML created with Flash CS5. With Flash CS3 the problem does not occur. The only difference I see between CS5 and CS3 files is this: There is a file called AC_RunActiveContent.js created with the SWF and HTML through CS3. But that file does not exist with the SWF and HTML created through CS5. Since the video plays on my local PC, I assume that AC_RunActiveContent.js is not required for newest version of Flash player. My web host provider assures me that MIME settings are correct and Window 2005 is the operating system. I am at my wits end trying to determine the cause and fix for this problem. Please give me some advice for resolution.

I'm developing an android file by using flash cs5 air extention. I know the basic crossdomain policy and server to server connections. And I searched many pages but there is no solution about this.
My "container.apk" loads "external.swf" from the server.. And I want to be able to reach the variables and functions in "container.apk" from "external.swf". But I can't reach any function on my container (application file .apk) from my external module swf (remote file).. I mean, I'm trying to reach container.apk's functions from the loaded swf. Like when a button clicked on "external.swf" it should effect a function in "container.apk".
Also here are some error codes that I'm getting ;

But if I load an image from the app workspace, everything works fine (I see the image and Jquery works). Is this a policy problem? The error says that is a "null object reference" problem, but this can't be true...

I have a mp3 player that i purchased from a site. It works fine on my local drive but when uploaded to a server (and I've tried both Linux & Windows) doesn't work. It loads in setting & the mp3 file names from an XML file. I was able to verify that the XML data is in fact loading. The hitch seems to come when trying to create and load the XML data into an XML object.I added text field & changed the value of the text property at different points of the script to narrow down where the script gets stuck. The exact line of code that doesn't run from the server is:
Code:
var xml:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
I tried adding a crossdomain.xml file that allowed all domains but that didn't seem to help. Below is the code that loads the XML file & calls a function when loaded with the offending line of code.And my test site is here: SWF
Code:
public function MusicPlayer() {
//Security to load music
Security.allowDomain("*");[code]..............

I have a swf file stored locally on a linux machine, that is launched on boot up via opera. the swf communicates with the server to login and retrieve xml data, and then loads other swfs on the server.
i have added the crossdomain.xml to the root of my server, and added the appropriate System.security.allowDomain('my domain').
this process works fine on a windows machine, but with the linux setup, the call to login with 'sendAndLoad' does not return a successful result.

Alright, so I have a projector application running, and an SWF on a server. The projector loads the SWF on the server.The projector will save all of the sharedobjects it creates in the local-host folder, whereas the swf on the server will store it in it's own folder "or example. I want to be able to have them both store shared objects in the same folder, so that they can interact with each other through shared objects. Even if I load the SWF from the projector, it still creates it's own folder.
I need to have this because it stores level data for a game I'm making, where all the levels are on the server, and you can download each one individually, and make your own levels, and upload them, so others can play. The data would be loaded from a swf on the server, and then create the S/O on the users computer. Then, the actual game would load this SO and then create the map, based on the data.
