Security - Load Remote Images Into A Flash Sideshow?
Aug 7, 2009
Trying to load remote images into a flash sideshow local files work even if I use absolute path. I am updating existing gallery to dynamically pull images from Picasa.The php works fine and pulls the images from the API. But when I pass the XML to flash it wont load remote images. to ActionScript but it still wont work. The scrip for the sideshow is:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://photos.googleapis.com/data/crossdomain.xml");
System.security.allowDomain("*");
MovieClip.prototype.addProperty("onLoad", function () {

The code below is simplified for example I'm developing an AIR application (using Flex) which loads several of its images from a remote web server. The images display fine, however, whenever I'm manipulating the containers which hold the remotely-loaded images, I get errors in my console:

The images don't seem to be affected, but I don't like having errors displayed that I don't understand. Here's a sample app that exemplifies the problem:

I have created an application where on button click it has to load an image to a movieclip.
It worked fine in my local system, but when I uploaded it to the server, the image loads late and thus the animation is missing and is causing problems.
how to load image from the library attached to the movie.
I know it can be done with attachMovie, but its not working for me.

I tried to deploy my otherwise working flex app on a web server (tomcat 6).It threw a Channel.Security.Error.After some research, I became aware that flash movie loaded from flash_movie_domain will not be able to load resource from any other domain.Some suggested adding a crossdomain.xml.However, the crossdomain.xml route doesn't quite make sense.In this case, I am loading resources from a third party web site.My understanding is that I need this third party website to include a crossdomain.xml on their root directory in order for app to function.The third party web service is provided as is. I will not be able to change what's given. Since the third party is providing public access, it already explicitly give permission to the general public. Adding a crossdomain.xml to their root seems to be a redundant act?

I can't seem to wrap my head around this image loading problem with my actionscript 3.0 project. I suspect it has something to do with how I have the crossDomain.xml set up. The problem is that I can load youtube movie thumbnail images from [URL] into flash and display them completely fine when testing/running the SWF in a stand alone (local) player. But when I upload the SWF and test it through the web I receive Sandbox Errors and Security Violations. Here is my crossDomain.xml (stored on the root of the server):

I try to download an external SWF and run it within the AIR security sandbox.
this is the code of the AIR application:
public class Downloader extends Sprite
{
private static const REMOTE_FILE:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myserver.com/downloadable.swf");
[Code]...
So - what Do I need to do to prevent such security errors? I want my remote SWF to be treated as native code running in the same security sandbox as the AIR code.

I want to understand something if it is possible to do it in flash movie. I want to make flash animation with let say 4 pics. The animation will be used as an advertisement on other sites. But I want the images in the flash movie to be changed from time to time. Thus I want the images to be loaded from my server while the movie is been shown on other sites. I want to know if this is possible in flash.

how to load files to a Flash site Dynamically from a remote server. The first part was showing how to load a .txt file.
I have created a dynamic test field and give it an instance name of myTextArea. Then I uploaded the .txt file to my server in a testing folder. At the beginning of the paragraph in the .txt file I put homeText= Then going back to Flash CS3 I made an Action Script layer and entered the following code there;
[Code]....
But when I go to test the movie I get a "undefined" error (I guess it is an error) where the text should load in the dynamic text field.

I have a small Flash app that generates a security sandbox violation when flash.net. URLLoader() is called.I have been very careful to check for mistakes in my network/security settings, e.g., -use-network=true, cross-domain policy file, Security.allowDomain(), Security.allowInsecureDomain()
, Security.loadPolicyFile(), etc.
I have been working on this issue all day.I have read every Web page I can find on the issue to no avail.***Objective***1) Upload a SWF file, XML config file, cross-domain policy file, JPG files, [code].........

I have some Flash application that loads data (external images, SWFs, XMLs) from the same domain. And it was fine until client decided to add load balancers for server. Now we have a number of complaints from users about security errors. It looks like application can't load external resources treating them as resources from different domain without crossdomain.xml.
One of users that have this problem provided us with following info:
Browser: IE 8.0
OS: Windows 7
Flash Player version: 10.1.102.64
I have spoken with server administrator and he told me that we have load balancers that work like Round-robin DNS. In its simplest implementation Round-robin DNS works by responding to DNS requests not only with a single IP address, but a list of IP addresses of several servers that host identical services. The order in which IP addresses from the list are returned is the basis for the term round robin. With each DNS response, the IP address sequence in the list is permuted. Usually, basic IP clients attempt connections with the first address returned from a DNS query so that on different connection attempts clients would receive service from different providers, thus distributing the overall load among servers.
Finally we have: SWF loaded from IP1, data requested from IP2, crossdomain.xml loaded from IP1. All of them can be accessed through the same domain, but have different IPs.Because of IPs difference, Flash Player ignores crossdomain.xml and triggers security error.I'm not sure it happens exactly like that, since for older versions of Flash Player I have found the following words:
The basis of domain comparison is the domain name, not IP address.
So, I have two questions after all of that: How exactly domain comparison for HTTP-connections works in latest versions of Flash Player? Can two resources obtained by address with same domain name but from different IPs treatened as obtained from different domains? Maybe someone have info about DNS rebinding in different browsers?

of a complex question to me, but it's coming from an absolute beginner and it might be considered a stupid one, that's why I posted here...I've kind of been dropped in the deep end with this task and I can't get it right... I have a company's organisational chart in flash where it loads in each person's name dynamically for their department and when you click on it it brings up their CV information such as name, qualifications etc. This is loaded into a dynamic text box. I can test it locally with an xml file and then switch back to the online version.The local version I check by switching to "strXMLpath = "organisation.xml";" where things are laid out as follows:
Code:
<organisation>
<bod>

I have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.

I am creating an interactive post-it for an upcoming event that allows for us to tap into a sql database and post tweets, survey answers and images. We've already tapped into the Twitter API and the survey, so those are A-OK.The problem lies within loading the images from a location other than the local interactive board's server.If the image itself is locally hosted, it loads just fine.If the image is hosted elsewhere, the image will not load, even though I have a trace on the URL of said image.I'm loading all tweets, surveys and images through an XML load and all the data is loading properly.I AM loading the image through a smoothing filter so that when the "post-its" are slightly rotated, they are not jagged. Here is THAT code:[code]
This is a two part script where the bulk loads in the image and places it into an empty movieclip, then adds the smoothing filter. The second part is a resizer that automatically resizes the image and keeps the aspect ratio.When I test the flash piece (not embedded in HTML) the thing works 100%.As soon as I put the swf into an html and view it on a web page, the remote images will not load.I'm a bit stumped on why this is, could this be a firewall or security issue? Because I work in a high security firewall environment.

I've been handed a few Flash files written in CS4, but in ActionScript 2. I know enough ActionScript to be dangerous, but I am far from a Flash developer.
At the high level, the Flash file loads an image, rotates a portion of the center of the image, and allows the user to drag the rotated piece into the proper position (solving a puzzle, basically).
This worked GREAT when the images were loading from the local server. We've changed to remote cloud hosting for the images, though, and now are experiencing issues.
The images still load (we have all of the security and cross-domain policy files in place), but any time we try to rotate the center portion of the image we get a plain gray box instead of the rotated portion of the image.
What's weirder is that the rotated image portions show up fine in the IDE Flash player. But when viewed through a web browser the static portion of the image will load, but the rotated portion will not.

I've built a simple webcam snapshot application - a user uses webcam to take a picture which is saved in a folder. All pictures are saved in same folder and now i have to display three latest images on a flash banner that is located in another server. With PHP, i managed to sort the pictures in an array from latest to oldest and dislay them on the a website. Now i have to dipslay three of the latest images on the banner and not sure how to pass this information to the Flash banner? All i have to do is to pass the path of the three latest images and load them into movieclips. Any tips where to start?

I have a swf loading an XML with links to copy and images loading into a swf. When inside the "stars" folder the html page index.html, which loads the swf loads all the jpg and text files fine: [URL] However, when embed a link to the swf file [URL], into the page a folder above the stars folder, which is just [URL]... none of the images load. Nothing loads actually. I figure it's a security issue with sandbox, but I created a crossdomain.xml file and added an allowDomain to my starsFA.swf file.

I'm working on creating a portfolio that I can send to people, for fun (as I am not a true artist), and to make it easier on the people/myself, I've uploaded to photos/art to PhotoBucket, and thereby they can have the flash file, and when they click on a button it will have the content from PB, so no need to download extra images in the email. But, when I test it out, it tells me there is a security problem. So I ensured Flash was allowed to connect to PhotoBucket, and then restarted the program, as instructed.Is there anyway to "embed" the images in the flash document so no need for extra image files?[code]

As of now I am using cURL to load a remote favicon, but it outputs it as a .ICO, which AS3 will not load. I tried to convert the .ICO with imagepng, but that caused errors. Is there a way I can load a remote favicon and convert it to a png with PHP before loading it into AS3 without relying on Google's s2?
Some of the code:
snip
$imagestring = curl_exec($ch);
$image = imagecreatefromstring($image);
curl_close($ch);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

I have a SWFLoader in mxml of my flex app.[code]...
I get the alert popup (that is the loadComplete is called) but do not get any swf loaded, not able to view anything. What can be the problem, am I missing something or some security issue? I also tried the image control to load the swf. Moreover, the swf are pdf files converted to swf so can this be an issue of different frame rates between flash and flex ?

My SWF resides on domain A, is loaded by a web site on domain B and is trying to ping URL (URLLoader.load) on domain C. But I am getting "#2048: Security sandbox violation" .. why? Of course I have read the manual, I saw the security white paper but I do not understand it. Don't you know any blog or such where it is explained for dummies? With lots of examples and maybe a table showing what is allowed and what is not?
