Flex :: Does LocalConnection In Flash Player Randomly Fail Sometimes
Jul 31, 2009
I have two flash movies communicating with each other using localConnection, passing an object from swfA to swfB. This seems to work fine, but will occasional fail. The only information we have is that the status event is fired with a level of error, there is no other information. Once a connection has failed it will continue to do so.
I don't know why it's happening but it is not a security problem (both movies are running on the same domain) and all communication is wrapped in a try..catch.
alternative method for communicating between movies? I've tried using ExternalInterface but it's too slow for the number of updates that are sent.

We recognized that some older flash projects are compiling well in the old CS4 Flash but fail in CS5 (same player verison). Is there any list of things that has changed for compiling in CS5?

The first one (FLEX application) sends a message on a dedicated LocalConnection to a second one (Flash application). The Flash then answers by sending a message on another dedicated LocalConnection. This message is not directly received by the FLEX and the delay is at least 30s, up to 1 or 2 minutes! It seems the issue only occurs with Flash Player >= 10 and it never occurs with Chrome.
I didn't find anything on the web concerning a similar issue nor something in Flash Player release notes. Did someone already have this kind of problem?
By the way, is there any tool that can be used to sniffer LocalConnection communications?
Additional information:
swf are located in different frames swf are embed with swfobject I tried to delay the Flash sending, I tried to create another LocalConnection dedicated to this call but I always had same result: for all calls, the FLEX method is called after the same delay. I also put a timer in FLEX to periodically log to see if there is no background process delaying the method processing but everything seems fine

I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.
[Code]....
I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.

Assuming I do NOT want to run the sends in series, but in paralell (all at once), as above, and further assuming that one, and only one of the send commands will generate a status event where level='error': ow can I detect which send command produced the status error?

I have a project that I need to develop some Java code for. The project is using Flash and BlazeDS. For the initial build of the project, an Ant script is run that eventually runs what I believe is the Flex compiler (the sdk attribute points to a FlashBuilder 4 sdk/4.1.0 directory).

Is there a way for different flex swf's to send large blocks of data between each other without using localconnection which is size limited or using sharedobjects. This needs to happen on the client without server communication.

I'm using a localconnection to allow communication between an actionscript 2 swf and an actionscript 3 swf.Localconnection objects share a global namespace across a user's pc.So, this means, a user can fire up my flash app in one browser, and submit commands, back and forth, which is what i want. But the user can also fire up another browser, and all commands sent to my application will be handled by the first application if its still loaded in the first browser.When I make the LocalConnection, I specify an id, but the id must be known to the actionscript 2 swfs, and therein I find a problem. I don't know how to let the actionscript 2 swfs know what the unique id is.

We have several flash objects written in FLEX and being rendered inside a single HTML page.We are using javascript to communicate between the objects and perform other page related operations.
Execution Flow:
In the creationComplete event of the FLEX code of our objects we execute the following (pseudo-ish) code:
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.addCallBack("initialize");
ExternalInterface.callMethod("ready");
[code]....
Sometimes the last javascript function outlined is never called. When this happens none of the error alerts appear, the final code is just not executed but everything up to this point has executed successfully.
This happens about 1/100+ times in Chrome/Firefox
This happens about 1/10 times in IE8
This happens about 9/10 times in IE7 (full disclosure - the only machine we have to use for testing this is also much slower)
Since the problem is intermittent and becomes more apparent in slower browsers/machines my suspicion is that it is timing related. If I stop the first flex 'intiailize' call from happening until I click a button in the UI instead of automatically on what is essentially 'creationComplete' everything ALWAYS works.

I'm working on implementing communication between an Adobe AIR app and a browser Flash object, and the LocalConnection documentation mentions an asyncError as a potential event:
asyncError: Dispatched when an exception is thrown asynchronously — that is, from native asynchronous code.
However, that's the only documentation I can find on it. Does anyone know what this error actually means? I've searched around but couldn't find any reference -- most sample code I found does an addEventListener() for the asyncError but doesn't give any clue as to what it means or when it could occur (i.e. if it could occur when sending or when recieving).The Adobe documentation page also lists potential events for each method, but asyncError isn't listed under any specific method, only for the general class.

I have an AS2 .swf being loaded as a child of a parent AS3 .swf. The AS2.swf calls loadmovie() and unloadmovie() to display 3 jpeg files. The images load the first time, but after that, a call to loadmovie() to replace the image, or a call to unloadmovie() fail. I found the following Adobe Bug report ([URL]) that has said this has been resolved, and also said that child movieclips could be replaced without a problem. Here is the code I'm calling.

We have a flex application communicating with our server. The flex app makes many HTTP requests (posts and gets) to the server, in many cases in parallel. We have been noticing that we get many dropped connections, experienced from the flex app. The server does not see any failed requests at all and is not under load. I am also suspecting that flex may be on-connection-drop, automatically retrying the POST or GET request, resulting in our server receiving the request twice.

I have a Flash object on my site, which has this code:
this.ld = new LocalConnection();
this.ld.allowDomain("*");
ExternalInterface.call("alert", this.ld.domain);
It alerts my domain successfully. However, what I want is to access the HTML DOM through this using LocalConnection and not ExternalInterface directly.

If you have a very large project Flash CS5 fails to compile it. The same error used to occur in CS4 until the 10.0.2 patch was released. Is this going to be fixed in Flash CS5? Currently Flash CS5 is completely useless to us because of this problem.

I have a couple of buttons in my flash application that call two different javascript functions. They work in all browsers except IE9 (I haven't tried earlier IEs). My code to call the function is something like this:
ExternalInterface.call(
"myLovelyFunction",
string1, string2);
[Code]....
In IE9, the function does absolutely nothing, but the console complains with:
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetReturnValue'
index.php, line 1 character 1
line 1, character 1 is obviously pointing at nothing in particular.
I can make it work fine by switching on compatability view, although the console error doesn't go away.
Is there anything about IE9 that causes this, and more importantly, how do I fix this?

The following code, which is pretty straight out of any Adobe example works fine on Flash 10, but when run in Flash 9, the sending connections onStatus event receives 'error'.
The expected behavior in this example is that the listeningConnection.ready method is invoked on SWF1. A demo of this can be seen on [URL]..

I'm making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I'm not experienced enough to understand my error.Here's the file: http:[url]....
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn't feel right... the faces are too narrow.What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.

I've used localConnection to build 3 swfs that communicate with one another. Everything works smoothly until i open another browser tab with any flash website. And those websites were built by me so i know they don't contain any localConnections.
Why is this happening and is there anyway to prevent it?

I'm implementing AMF service methods for an flash front-end. Normally things work fine, but we've found that if two methods are called one right after the other, the second call returns null to the flash front-end even though the method actually completes successfully on the PHP end (to verify this, I dump the return data to a file right before I return it).

I'm using Javascript to call a method on a Flash movie embedded in an ASPX page using SWFObject. It works fine in Firefox, but Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (so far) claim the object returned by swfobject.getObjectById() "doesn't support this property or method". I've found similar posts on this site and others, but nothing I've tried has fixed this in IE.
ActionScript 3.0 class:
public class Player extends MovieClip {
public function Player() {
Security.allowDomain("http://localhost");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("test", test);
[Code] .....
Internet Explorer complains about the last line in that function, "Object doesn't support this property or method".
