I embed the swf into a dreamweaver page and tested it in the browser and it works fine. When I uploaded it onto the server the swfs don't load. ??? like nothing is there.I would post code but I don't know what is relevant to post. Here is the link to the site URL... I am not sure if that is going to help. There are supposed to be two swfs(picture Viewers) one under Projects and another under Red Eye Gallery. Can anyone Help.
View 5 RepliesI have a SWF (which fully works offline).
In that SWF, there is a lot of data loaded from server A, which works just fine.
Then I want a google radar chart like this:
Everything works realy nice offline. But when the SWF is on Server A, the chart wont load.
I'm using:
ActionScript Code:
Security.allowDomain("http://chart.apis.google.com/*");
Security.loadPolicyFile(IP + "/crossdomain.xml");
[Code]....
I checked with tamper data, the request for the chart is send and status: Pending.
I have an issue with a script I created that loads text strings from a file on my server.The swf file loads a message from a .txt file, displays it in an animation when the animation finishes it loops back to the start and loads the next message and displays it in the animation.
All works fine. However the script reads the text file from the server on every loop ( 3 seconds ) This will be hard on my server so... Is there a way to read the text file once only and then loop through the eight statements?

I have a flash site, which uses XML to load an image gallery, but it cant find the images on the server even though they are there. It works fine locally.In firebug, each image is listed in the net tab as found, but when you click on it, there is an error message..Plus an error page is listed for each of the images.If you click on one of the other button's in the gallery strip on the site, it tries to find Freeola's (my host) 'crossdomain.xml' file which doesn't seen to be there, could this be a cause?
View 1 RepliesSuppose I want to load a .jpg from the server ONCE and then I want to reuse it a dozen times in my .swf... How can I achieve this without adding to the .swf`s file size? I was thinking copying its BitmapData a dozen times, but that adds to the file size, right?

I have a problem. We have a website www.onlinerealgames.com which hosts the game developed by our company. Recently we wanted to change the template. We are testing the new template in a subdomain of ours which is www.onlinerealgames.in . Everything is fine except that the swfs in the server are not loading. Instead they are showing Movie Not Loaded. If I directly access the swf with the URL it showing the download option window.
We are having seperate database for both sites. Both have same swfs. If we change the source from .in to .com then the swfs are loading properly (in the src property of embed tag)
I just saw that some (only some) flash files (games) aren't loading in my website, but are in other servers. Most of the files do work. For example:(External) [URL] (My Server) [URL] It is the same file, but doesn't load at my server.
View 1 RepliesI need to loading a PNG file from a server into my flash project. What I want to do it be able to call a PHP page and send it a variable which I can do. Then I want to access a db and get a path for the image, I can do this too. What I'm not sure about is what to do then. What I need to happen is the PHP to return the PNG to flash somehow. Can I just add the PNG to the php page and use a loader somehow? I've been searching around google but most tutorials seem to be getting PNGs out.
View 3 RepliesI have some little flash graphs I made that pull data from an xml file and also expect a flashVar in the html. The flash checks the flashVar against the data in the xml file and then proceeds to display some numbers.
The problem arises when we put the swfs and xmls on the server. The flash just wont load the xml files. It will however load the xml files if they are placed on the root of the server. Strange right ?
In the flash the xmls are loaded on the same level. If I upload the swf's to a folder with the xmls files and call the flash into an html page (not on the same level) they wont load. For instance in the html I have:
param name="movie" value="/assets/flash/flashgraph-05.swf"
This is what I have inside the FLA / SWF
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("myXML.xml"));
I would have thought as long as the XML and the SWF are together then the above should work right? However if I make a fixed path in the FLA to the XML it will work.
xmlLoad.load(new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/assets/flash/myXML.xml"));
I am using the "loadSound" method to load an external mp3. The problem is I need to load the mp3 from a remoter server (the file is not local to the swf). From my searching, I can't seem to find out if this can be done.
My code follows:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcSoundHolder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var sndAudio:Sound = new Sound(mcSoundHolder);
sndAudio.loadSound("[URL]", false);
sndAudio.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void {
if(bSuccess) {
this.start();
}};
I know many have had problems getting a child .swf file to load once put on the server though it would work perfectly on the local machine.
The solution is simple: absolute linkage - so lets say your child .swf is located in a folder named myFile on the root folder and your parent .swf is on the root, and in your AS3, you are linking to an XML file which is in the myFile folder inside of a folder name "xml" like so:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml/myXml.xml");
var xmlData:XML;
xmlLoader.load(url);

little stuck on a project, need as much help as possible. I am creating a building directory for a touch screen kiosk app. this kiosk will have a virtual keyboard that i have created with an input text field, which hopefully will search a single file on the server that controls these kiosks. Then display the search results in a dynamic text field. What i would like to do is create a swf that my employer may enter there own information such as thier name, title, department, suite, and some comments... then click some sort of button that will save the information on the server... then on the kiosk end the user can type in a name, department, suite number to have the data display on the kiosk. i am using cs3/as3. i have created the virtual keyboard, and the data entry app that allows my employer to save data to the server, but for the life of me, i cannot, get my kiosk end to retrieve the data.

We just moved FMS onto a new server and the fms seems to be working fine. But when I go to load a flv in flash using the component inspector i type in the content path for where the flv is located on the fms server and it just keeps saying 'Failed to load flv'. If i type the content path for the location on the old server it loads up fine. I honestly dont know what the problem is as everything is the same as it was on the old server just a different server with different IP address.
View 11 RepliesBeen having an issue lately with Flash Media Encoder immediately closing down after starting the program. It will display the window for a very brief moment and then close down. I have used the program many times with no issues but this recently started to happen. When it started closing directly after startup the first time, it allowed me to use it a few times afterwards. But recently its not working at all.
View 2 RepliesI've recently inherited a project which needs to load random images from a dir on the server.
the previous developer has this code on every swf (there are over 40):
pic_arr = ["images/randoms/1", "images/randoms/2","images/randoms/3", "images/randoms/4", "images/randoms/5", .....
ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*pic_arr.length);
pic_hold.loadMovie(pic_arr[ranNum]+".jpg");
unloadMovieNum(1);
I need to update this as the number of random images is set to increase to about 1000 and I don't fancy hand coding the above to include "images/randoms/999" , "images/randoms/1000" !!! Where I can keep a single .as file on the server which handles this and then a line of code in each swf which imports it? The site is built in php with a Flash fornt end so easy to use php to count the contents of the "images/randoms" dir and pass that number as a flashVar.

I have created an application using Adobe Flex. I took all the files from the 'bin-release' folder and put it on the server. Then when someone connected to the server through http it is forwarded to the "index.htm". The "index.htm" page is the HTML page created automagically by Adobe Flex during compile time, I just renamed it to that name (from visco.html if it matters). The SWF file remained the same.
The problem is that most of the time when I go to the server, I get forwarded to the "index.htm" file and it loads the SWF perfectly. The other 30% of the time, it doesnt load! The background of the page turns blue (same as my SWF) and if I right-click it, it shows an Adobe Flash dropdown, so it looks like its sort of loading, but the application doesnt fully start even though it has been 100% reliable during debugging and when loading the SWF file manually.
What do I need to do to get the SWF file to load and start reliably?

I am currently wondering if it is possible to load a swf that is sitting on another file server. I.e. I currently have a custom play bar swf which is embedded on a website (behind the company's firewall) which then loads swf content (currently in the same folder on the website server). The problem I have is bandwidth between remote sites is limited and streaming the swf content from the website server is not an option, however we do have a DFS set up to push all the swf content out to local file servers.
I have tried using a file:// path which works if you create a windows projector file however it doesn't work when embedded onto a website as it seems to try to access via http which the file servers are not set up for. So is it possible to get the play bar swf to load the swf content sat on a remote file server?
I'm writing a web application using three tier architecture. I have three Amazon EC2 ubuntu servers. The first server handles the presentation of the application and includes my main flash file. The second EC2 instance represents my application server. It contains the AMFPHP files and corresponding web services. Finally, the third instance handles persistance and is running a MySQL database. Both the presentation and application servers are running an apache web server. I created security groups specific to each tier such that the presentation layer will accept all incoming traffic on port 80 while the application layer will only accept incoming traffic from the presentation server. This should allow anyone to request my web application from the presentation server but prevent anyone from accessing the web services on my application server.My flash application cannot make web service calls to my application server. When a request is sent, I never receive a response from the server and eventually receive a security sandbox error.[code]It seemed odd that I wasn't receiving a response, so I decided to try a couple of things:
1. I connected to my presentation tier via ssh and attempted to use lynx to connect to my application server's gateway.php. I was able to connect without any problems.
2. I used Chrome's developer tools window to observe network traffic when loading my site. I found that it is attempting to load the crossdomain.xml file (which resides in the root of my web server [/var/www] on the application tier) using a GET request; but strangely, it times out and fails. This is where I am confused. How come I can use lynx on the same machine to connect to the web server on the application tier but yet the flash app can't access the same file?
While running some tests, I decided to open up the application server instance's firewall such that it can receive http requests from my IP. As soon as I did this, the application being hosted on the presentation tier immediately began working (Received a response from the web service)! However, this means I would have to force my application tier to accept http requests from the internet in order to work, which is not something I want to do. I don't understand why making this change would allow the application to grab the crossdomain.xml file. If the application server's security group is set to accept incoming http requests from the presentation security group, it should have no problem acquiring the crossdomain. xml file residing in the web server root of the application server right? I've spent more time than I would like looking into this issue. I really would like to setup a three-tier environment for my application in which the flash application will be able to send web service requests to my application layer. The most confusing part about this is the fact that when I add my computer's IP address to the application server's firewall, everything seems to magically work as intended. Please correct me if I am setting my application up in the wrong way. I am basing my architecture off of the following:URL..

We have installed Flash Media Server on a Linux machine.It has 2GB of RAM,Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686, the install required a few packages (compat-expat1 was one) to be installed before we saw the sample page. The sample page takes a few minutes to load and opening the page to connect to the admin console is about the same.
This is currently on our internal network while we try and see how it works. Are there any specifc TCP related kernel tuning parameters (eg in sysctl.conf) which need to be put in place over and above the out-of-box configuration. Any troubleshooting hints which might identify the problem. The install seemed ok nothing in /var/log/messages and checking to see what is running (ps aux | grep fms) I see
./fmsmaster -silent/opt/adobe/fms/Apache2.2/bin/httpd -f ./conf/httpd.conf -d /opt/adobe/fms/Apache2.2 -k start/opt/adobe/fms/fmsedge -edgeports :80,1935 -coreports localhost:19350 -conf /opt/adobe/fms/conf/Server.xml -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -name[code]....
but when we clear our browser cache and go to a page it is taking forever.It is taking about 5 minutes to open up the initial page, but when it is open the videos all seem to come through fine.The server previously had apache on it but I removed that copy and went with the version included with FMS.
