I am loading an flv file from an s3 location. I want to prevent its hotlinking.
crossdomain.xml does not seem to work for flvs Anybody has nay idea, why crossdmain does not work? and what are the ways we can prevent other flash containers to extract the content from our location?
I need to add htaccess to my site, to stop hotlinking i.e
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?davewhiteart.comindex.html [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
This seems to work on some browsers but on others.....the flash cannot access the files/images
I'm publishing a webcomic in Flash.swf format and I'd like to make it as easy as possible for people to grab my comic and put it on their website. How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?
View 8 RepliesI am hosting a site that has some flash in it.Now a different site is linking directly to the flash, causing massive traffic for me. The problem: I do not gain any ads which would help me pay the server bills.I thought it would be OK to redirect the direct link to the flash to the site containing it.
Flash: www.example.com/flash/1.swf
Page: www.example.com/1 (<-- redirect here!)
It probably should work with .htacess
Can an swf check to see what the url of the page in which it is embedded is? I don't care if other people host copies of the swf, but I dont want them to embed my copy in their pages, so I want to show some kind of default image if the html address is not my site
View 2 RepliesI've made a game in flash that I want to upload onto my site but I don't want it to be able to get hotlinked to or hosted from/on another site.
What would be a good way to prevent this?
I first thought of getting a varible from a text file and using an IF function on load to check if that var was loaded but that would only prevent Hosting.
I then tried putting the var in the html code for the swf but that don't seem to work so well, when I refresh the page the movie randomly seems to play normally or goto my "this is stolen" screen.
Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0 I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but I figured here would be alright. I've got this image slideshow/scroller here, that grabs its data from a xml file on the server. nothing new, but the problem is that when i enable hotlinking protection with bluehost, firefox is unable to deal with the file. safari, opera, handle it fine. when hotlinking protection is disabled, firefox handles it fine.

View 2 RepliesI have a problem when one B.swf file is loaded to another A.swf file.A.swf file size is 400x400.B.swf file size is 100x100.B file has a movie clip (MC) which is animated and position of this movie can be from Y:-100 to Y:200. B file is loaded into the center (X:150, Y:150) of the A file.When B file is loaded, then animation starts. I have a problem: I can see animated movie clip B out of B screen scope (for example: when B.swf file movie clip has _y = -100 I still can see that movie clip in A.swf). I am expecting that movie clip will not be shown if Y position becomes negative
View 1 RepliesI'm finding that in flash (10.x at least) and ie (7, 8, 9) that if I try to load an image url that contains escaped utf-8 characters (p%C3%83%C2%A5) that the characters get decoded before it makes the url request, even if I double or triple encode them. Is there any way to prevent this so the url (with escapes) the way I want it is actually what is requested?
The problem its causing is we give a http status of 301 on utf-8 decoded url requests to the encoded url which flash then tries to request (but ie decodes it again) and I get stuck in an infinite loop because of the 301 + ie auto-decoding.
EDIT, adding code sample:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://mydomain.com/p%C3%A5.jpg');
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(url);
Now I want the request to go over the line as [URL] (and it does in other browsers), but in IE it goes over the line as [URL]
EDIT: replacing % with %25 (double encoding the %) but that didn't work, it just caused this request to go over the wire: [URL]
When Im loading an xml document, it's as if flash caches this document, and uses that cached version all the way (disregarding how many times I open and close the app) ... well, that's so until I open the xml file inside the browser (IE) and ctrl-F5 to refresh; that's when flash starts getting the updated xml. What's up with that? Is there a way to prevent flash from caching??

I have a web page where users can play flash games. We are now making some changes to the page which requires the games to be embedded with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque so that we can show HTML elements on-top of the flash games. The problem is that in Internet Explorer (on all versions) the whole page scrolls if a user presses the up/down arrow keys. I've tried everything I can think of and I've spent a whole day searching for a solution without success.o far I've tried putting the game inside a iframe and I tried disabling the up/down keys with JS, none of which solves my problem.
View 4 RepliesI have multiplayer flash game (AS3) and I would like to prevent multiboxing, e.g. prevent user running two (or more) instances of my game at one computer. Is there simple and reliable way how to do that? I don't want to filter them based on IP address.
I tried to use LocalConnection, but it was unreliable. It worked most of the time but for some reason it failed sometimes.
Then I tried to use SharedObject to write random value to it and than check for change in periodic interval. Idea is that when second instance starts, it will overwrite previous value and check in first instance will fail.
public function MultiboxPreventer(callback:Function)
{
uniqueKey = Math.random() * uint.MAX_VALUE;
so = SharedObject.getLocal("prefs");
[Code].....
Is it possible the JS object object doesn't exist when the flash calls? Here is all the source and the issue ticket for the SWF project this is happening on: http:[url]....
PS - I have the swf mp3 player working with some custom JS that removes the need for the swf to call the JS, but I'd love to understand why IE9 does this while the other browsers work as expected.
I need to suppress the default right click menu for flash embeds.
I've set menu to false, as well as used a stop default function on the right click event, but it still displays the menu.
Also, I don't have access to the .fla's, as the flash objects weren't created by me.
I don't want to resort to frames so I'm wondering if this is possible. I have an expanding menu on a php page, when user clicks on one of the menu items and the page reloads, the flash movie gets reload as well. I would like to keep it open to where it was, even if it reloads.
I'm using a modified version of Senoculars accordion menu and I thought the best way would be to pass a variable to the flash movie that tells it which menu the user clicked and so expand that menu.
The highest possible score is 1500 can i have score above 1500 coming in.
Asking a few friend and found out there is some program like tSearch that can change the hex value of the swf and thus "hack" the game.
I'm wondering did anyone of the forumer ecounter this before. How do you guy usually prevent your flash game from hacker like this..

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a set of SWFs that need to sync with each other using LocalConnection in AS2It was working fine in Flash Player 10, but as 10.1 throttles Flashes when they are not visible, the SWFs lose their sync if any of the SWFs are not visible on the page.This is particularly annoying as we were not aware of this new behaviour in 10.1 and I expect the update will break a lot of similar websites.

View 1 RepliesHow do I prevent Flash from caching loaded images?
In my app a user make a change to an image and saves it back to the server as the same name. Flash then reloads the section and the new image should be reflected. However, it is not. The image looks fine on the server and is updated on the server...
I have a movieclip with a child button in it.The movieclip can be dragged and dropped. I want to disable dragging and dropping of the movieclip when I press/drag on the child button. mouseChildren=false and mouseEnable=false don't work, since I want to keep my mouse events for the button.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm a newbie at Flash, so started playing with a pretty standard code sample: one layer contains a movie clip with a flying rectangle, another layer has a button to control it. All script code is in Main.as file. The rectangle was named square1 through the Property window. Here is the problem: the constructor for Main has a line: square1.stop(); to prevent clip from playing, but it doesn't help - it plays. I know the constructor fires, because it has trace("stuff") in it. The code does check that the stage has been created.
What strange is that square1.currentFrame always returns 1, and square1.totalFrames returns 1 as well. The layer has 24 frames on the timeline. I tried a tween with just 2 keyframes, then converted whole tween into frames - same result. I mean, the thing is flying before my eyes, how can it be 1 frame???
I even added a listener: square1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameChange); The event fires all the time, i.e. the frames change, but currentFrame is still 1. Also, tried to name individual frames and use square1.gotoAndStop("begin") and stuff like that. I am really stuck with this stupid problem.
I'm using Flash HSlider component. I used a slider with several thumbs. I'd like to prevent the user from draging just the middle thumb, but can drag other thumbs. I don't know how to do it.
View 1 RepliesI'm using swfobject, and in the replacement div I have a message for those who don't have Flash or JS support. The replacement div contains a message like "You don't have Flash player, please download here" - my concern here, is that Google will see and index this message, which is not relevant to the content of the page, and it's going to affect the search ranking.
Is there some way to mark a piece of content to be ignored by Google? My guess is no.
But then how do you go about placing a message like this without having it indexed?
My only idea is to use an iframe with nofollow. But then Google will penalize any site that uses frames, so that's not a good option either.
How do I prevent a user from dropping an item outsider a folder? My dataProvider is only 1-level deep.It seems that with a DragEvent handler or DragDrop handler I can find the data of the item I'm dragging, but not where I'm dropping ( so I can prevent it ).
View 1 RepliesI have a canvas onto which I draw shapes like rectangle etc. When I move the shape using my custom mouse down/mouse move handler, the shape can go outside the parent bounds.
I am checking if the child is outside the parent's bound to snap it back:
var bounds:Rectangle = this.getBounds(this.parent);
var p:Point;
if (bounds.x <0) {
[Code]...
The snapInside method gets called when I go outside the left or top boundary. But when the child is dragged outside the right or bottom boundary, I find Flex/Flash runtime automatically expands the parent's height and width. So say the parent size was initially 800x600, if child Y bounds exceed 800 by say 20 pixel, I find the this.parent.height automatically resized by flex to 820!!
How do I prevent the parent from resizing when child goes outside the original bounds of the parent ?
