I am trying to do a "hello world" level test of FTP in Flex, but for three days now, I cannot overcome the issue with how to coerce flex into accepting my crossdomain policy - even for testing purposes.Here is my code: The exact error text follows.

How can I consume a webservice that hasn't explicitely created a crossdomain.xml? I understand it's for security and to prevent cross-site scripting, but it does seem like a major limitation to the Flex framework. For example, if I want to consume a webservice, which is suppose to be language agnostic, then I can't with Flex. The webservice/server has to be specifically prepared for Flex/Flash. If it's not, then it cannot be consumed.
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with an asmx service I am trying to access. No crossdomain file. I read there is a way around this using HTTPService instead of a webservice. Still cannot load the wsdl. See code below.
var dataService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
dataService.url =
"http://flexmappers.com/proxy.php?url=http://www.server.net/carbon.asmx";[code]....
I've got a small client/server test application where I have a Flex app that makes an HTTP request of a server app. The server app is a script running on my local machine, listening on port 8001. The client is a swf that I am running locally, and uses mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to make the page request.
The HTTPService is being set up as per below:
_HttpService = new HTTPService();
_HttpService.url = "http://localhost:8001";
_HttpService.contentType = "text/xml";
When I make a basic page request, my server app is first receiving a "GET /crossdomain.xml HTTP/1.1" request, which is failing since I don't have a crossdomain.xml file in place. The reason I don't have one in place is because this is all happening on my local machine (for now) and I shouldn't need one (I don't think).
I definitely had this code working before without a crossdomain.xml when I was using Flex 3.x. I thought I had it working with Flex 4 as well. Now I'm using Flex 4.5. Is there an issue here, possibly due to security policy changes?With all of this happening on localhost, why is the Flash player requesting a crossdomain.xml file?

I want to create flash banner with XML content, and host it on my site with crossdomain.xml, and then share banner code with other sites for banner exchange.So, everything is on my server.Will loading banner, on other sites, load XML from my server, if both banner and XML resides on the same server, but banner is loaded on the other site?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 sites using their own version of the same email.php file accessed by a contact form in Flash - one copy is sent to an email address on the site domain and another to the originator. On one of the two sites the email never arrived then I noticed "crossdomain.xml not found" in the web browser activity log so I googled it and then placed this file in the root directory:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "[URL]">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="SOAPAction"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
Now the email address with the same domain arrives but the originator does not receive his copy (can be any domain). It's weird that the 2 sites are not consistent?
I have updated the crossdomain.xml security settings for my site - but it seems that the older version is being cached in both IE and Chrome.I've checked the headers sent by the server and it's not sending any cache control headers that would be forcing the browsers to be caching crossdomain.xml.
In an attempt to get around the issue I've also linked to my crossdomain.xml file in an iframe on the site. This hasn't worked though and flash still seems to be using the old security settings.
I am using the XML/MX/Syndication libraires and getting a Security Error #2048 error. The error seems unreasonable to me in that there is no forward solution to it on the Internet. I have tried hardcoding security methods in AS 3 and also using a crossdmain.xml file in my root directory to no success. I am about to give up and use pure PHP. There should be a more simple solution to this.
View 11 RepliesI'm using YUI file uploader based on flash, and the flash requests host/crossdomain.xml file. I'm requesting localhost and it requires this file. I was using this before and I have never had this problem and I've never had this file on my server.I've never used any adobe technologies, could please anybody tell me if it is possible to turn it off somehow ?The problem is that I can't have the file on my server, at least at root location...
View 2 RepliesWe have a lot of crossdomain.xml files at my company. Every service that has Flash availability needs one. Keeping them in sync is annoying, so I'd like to be able to have just one crossdomain.xml file hosted somewhere, and then http redirect (302) all the requests to that central location. Is this possible? I can't find documentation anywhere on the web about the rules.

I've tried lots of different methods but my project send error message "Security error accessing url Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL [URL]"
put the file in different places
C:wampwwwMYPROJECTin-debugcrossdomain.xml
(my swf url : http://localhost/bin-debug/test.html checked http://localhost/bin-debug/crossdomain.xml its ok)
C:wampwwwcrossdomain.xml
I added the load line of the project
protected function application1_initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://localhost/MYPROJECT/bin-debug/crossdomain.xml");
}
if flex server type select none everythings ok. but server type select PHP need crossdomain.xml how can i fix.
what's wrong with this picture? Why is this security error happening? Is there something I need to change with my crossdomain.xml file?

I monitor (and log to server) most user errors in our flash game. Quite frequently I see security errors related to trying to make requests to a cross-domain URL (usually the Facebook Graph API). 99% of our players can make these graph API calls with no issues.What I think is going on is that the client makes a request, but fails to load the crossdomain.xml file. I don't quite know how AS3 handles this in the case of a failure to load the crossdomain policy file...will it retry for every URLRequest made until it succeeds in loading it, or does it just give up forever?

How can I add a crossdomain.xml to the root of my Hudson server? I'm working on a Flex->Hudson bridge and I'd like to access it directly, instead of relying on a proxy to do it for me.
EDIT: This is standalone Hudson, not running on any application server.
where should I put the crossdomain.xml to my grails app? I need to use webservices from external domains in my flex client app. I put it into my web-app folder but it seems not working..
View 3 RepliesI'm using flash sockets to build an embedded chat application. everything works great. I want to allow all the sites who embedded this application to connect to my server, except for some sites.
My problem is that the number of sites that I don't want to connect to my server is a very large one( 4-5k). Currently from what I seen all you can do is tell in your policy file the domains that you allow/not allow.
What I'm looking for is a way for flash player to send me the domain where the flash is embedded and I could return an accept/decline response. I know I can send info about the site where the flash is embedded using actionscript, but this can be very easy simulated.
I am trying to connect to a socket server from flex. I read, on adobe's documentation, the client automatically sends a "request-policy-file" xml element to the socket before allowing it to be opened, and should receive a policy file.
The client sends the xml element as expected, My server receives it (on the port I want to use, port 6104) and replies on the same port with:

I would like to know how to configure the flex crossdomain.xml in tipfy with the Google app engine skd. Tipfy is a framework using in Gae. I would like to know: where I can place the crossdomain.xml, in the root or other place, do I need script to redirect to the xml, what files that I need to modify, eg. app.yaml. Any other things or file I need to modify or create to make it work.
View 2 RepliesI am building a really simple Chat server/client using PHP and Flex. I have followed many tutorials and have a working server in PHP and a working client in Flex, except that if I use the client on Windows I can't send any messages.When I send a message on my Mac it goes through to the server and gets sent to all the clients, including any Windows client I may have connected. The message will actually display on Windows clients as well, it's only when I try sending from Windows that it doesn't work.
I've tried adding a crossdomain.xml file served by a PHP script listening on the correct port, but none of the clients ever seem to ask for it, and if the client works on Mac I assumed it should work on Windows. By the way I'm exporting the project as an AIR file (dunno if that makes a difference).I can't find anything regarding this so I'm wondering if I'm being stupid somewhere or whether I need to takes some special measures for Windows clients?I have pasted my client code below.

On my network I have a couple of pc's all running a bespoke server which will return the username of the person logged in when queried.I have the following piece of code.
private function LoopAndList():void
{
var loopSocket:Socket;
var fourthOctet:Number = 6;
[code]....
Now when this runs it doesn't work as I first thought. The iterations go though. the fourthOctet value is decremented. But somethinjg strange happens. You will notice in the above code that I have a hardcoded IP address in the loop. I have put this there to ensure that there is always a valid connection. So am aware it will always be connecting to 192.168.0.4.
But the connection only happens on the last connect call.
The ouput is:
192.168.0.6
Connecting to 192.168.0.6
192.168.0.5
Connecting to 192.168.0.5

I have a C++ application which sends images to a Flex/Air front-end via TCP sockets. All this data transfer occur in the same host, so the socket connects to a localhost server. The problem is that the Flex/Air takes a really long time to read the entire image from the socket. The server sends the image quite fast, but the Flex/Air reads this image in tiny parts. The whole image has about 300MB and the Flex/AIR reads only about 1KB each iteration. So the flex keeps calling the socket data callback, which is causing the application to slowdown.
Is there any synchronous sockets to use with flex, or some kind of socket which can read the entire data all at once? If sockets aren't the best choice, is there any other faster options? My socket class looks like this:

I've created a Flex app which uses Coltware's airxmail to send SMTP messages. It calls a locally-hosted SMTP server (hmailserver), which relays the email out as appropriate. When run within the Flash Builder environment, everything works as intended. I can also send email both locally and remotely from the SMTP server using telnet, so I know that it's not a problem with the server. When hosted on the email server box itself, outside of the GUI, the app fails to send email. I've created a crossdomain.xml file to allow this access, but I don't believe it's configured properly.

I have a Windows Server 2003, with a domain: "mydomain.com" and everything goes right until the Flash application tries to load de crossdomain.xml, because it tries to load it from "servername" and obviously the request fails. Currently I have read all about crossdomain.xml , what it is, where it goes although I can not find what I have to do so my flash application requests the crossdomain.xml from my domain "mydomain.com" and not from my server "servername".
- The domain is up and can be accessed from the internet
- The crossdomain is on the root folder and also can be accessed from the internet
I am building a Rails app that would nicely communicate with Flex via sockets. Currently I found only two ways of communication: Simple HttpRequest, RemoteObject. But I need something "multiplayer" style. I need Flex to talk to sockets and Rails app to grab data from those sockets do some job and push something back to a socket so Flex could read it "on the fly".
