Flash :: Load Swf Only At My Domain

How Do I Load A Movie On Another Domain That Reads XML?
How do I load a movie on another domain that reads XML?

I have a flash file: abc.swf.
This reads xyz.xml.

Both reside on: www.mywebsite.com.

I want to have a HTML file on: www.myotherwebsite.com that contains a link to www/mywebsite.com/abc/swf.

OK... I had no idea this isn't straight forward.

I've been looking a the following for some guidance:

http://www.moock.org/asdg/technotes/...inPolicyFiles/

But... I'm not getting anywhere.

I've created the crossdomain.xml file and stuck it on www.mywebsite.com.
This didn't work.
The instructions weren't clear at all.
So... I stuck it on www.myotherwebsite.com as well.

Still no luck.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks.

Cross Domain Load? It Looks All Local To Me
So I'm getting hefty security issues to pop up. This flash .exe file runs on its own, but pulls from other servers on the network. Its for some internal communications.

My main .swf (my exe) loads in a local file. the local file loads in a flashpaper document. My doc crashes, or I get this...

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://devs/pl/PPT/PPTtest2.swf' tried to access incompatible context 'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/jmilan/Desktop/pl%5FII%5FFLAs%5Fv2/PPT.swf'
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://devs/pl/PPT/PPTtest2.swf' tried to access incompatible context 'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/jmilan/Desktop/pl%5FII%5FFLAs%5Fv2/PPT.swf'
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***

(it goes on forever)

I've been looking through tutorials, and trying various things, but I feel that maybe I know too little about this to be making an accurate judgement (none of them are "really working").

I tried the System.security.allowDomain, but I wonder why i need to do this. I use http: because its all local network, but users don't always have permission-- so I haven't been using the direct server names.

Any ideas?

Load Variables/Movies From Other Domain - SOLUTION
Posted this on were-here today, thought I'd post it here as well:

Here's a way to get around the security restrictions, imposed by Macromedia, of not being able to load SWFs and variables from other domains. By using the MSXML 3.0 ServerHTTP component, I'm able to make a request to a different domain by using an ASP script, which then feeds back the binary/text data back into Flash.

Then in Flash I simply use:
loadMovieNum("http://www.mysite.com/XMLFlashProxy.asp?url=http://www.othersite.com/movie.swf&contentType=application/x-shockwave-flash&dataType=binary", 0);

or for loadVariables()
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.mysite.com/XMLFlashProxy.asp?url=http://www.othersite.com/stockQuotes.txt&contentType=text/plain&dataType=text", 0);

dataType parameter MUST be "text" OR "binary".

Here's the ASP code:
-----------------------------------------
XMLHTTPObj.asp
-----------------------------------------
<%
Class XMLProxy
Dim strURL
Public Property Get URL()
URL = strURL
End Property

Public Property Let URL(mstrURL)
strURL = mstrURL
End Property

Public Property Get DataType()
DataType = strDataType
End Property

Public Property Let DataType(mstrDataType)
strDataType = mstrDataType
End Property

Public Function SendRequest()
On Error Resume Next
Dim objXML
Dim strReturnXML
Dim strStatus

Set objXML = CreateObject("Msxml2.serverXMLHTTP")

objXML.Open "GET", URL, False
objXML.Send

strStatus = objXML.status
If strDataType = "text" then
strReturnXML = objXML.responseText
Else
strReturnXML = objXML.responseBody
End If

If strStatus <> 200 then
SendRequest = null
Else
SendRequest = strReturnXML
End If
End Function
End Class
%>

-----------------------------------------
XMLFlashProxy.asp
-----------------------------------------
<% @Language = "VBScript" %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<%
' ------------------------------------------------
' Declare Variables/Objects
' ------------------------------------------------
Dim objXML
Dim strResponse
Dim strContentType
Dim strDataType

' ------------------------------------------------
' Create Objects
' ------------------------------------------------
Set objXML = new XMLProxy

' ------------------------------------------------
' Assign Variables
' ------------------------------------------------
strContentType = Request.QueryString("contentType")
strDataType = Request.QueryString("dataType")
strURL = Request.QueryString("url")

objXML.URL = strURL
objXML.DataType = strDataType
strResponse = objXML.SendRequest()

If Not IsNull(strResponse) then
Response.ContentType = strContentType
If strDataType = "text" then
Response.Write strResponse
Else
Response.BinaryWrite strResponse
End If
End If

Set objXML = nothing
%>

Flash 8 - AS2 - Cross Domain XML Load Error
Hi there,

I'm having some problems with loading a xml file.
Got a swf that must load a xml file from a different server.
For different domain I inserted this code:

System.exactSettings = false;
System.security.allowDomain ("domain.com");

On the html markup file I inserted:

'allowScriptAccess', 'domain.com',

Running on Flash IDE it all goes right, but once online there is always an
xml load error.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

I am make a measurer of internet speed that consists one preloader (swf1.swf in www.dominio1.com) who loads a swf (swf2.swf in www.dominio2.com)

The file swf2.swf visualizes perfect in swf1.swf without problems although on swf1.swf it does not take the variables from swf2.swf to show the rate of transference, total remaining time, kb loaded and kb total.
If I use crossdomain.xml on the mother directory of the site, or both sites, the problem it persists.

I need that they indicate to me like making solve this disadvantage

Http://www.domain = OK Http://domain = ERROR?
I have a page that if the URL path in the browser is http://www.domain the page works fine but if the path is http://domain I get that message informaing me that a script is causing it to run slowly and to disable running the script. I really don't understand how to troubleshoot this as it is the exact same page either way. I dont really understand why that can cause flash to malfunction?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Domain Help.....
I guess I am at a loss....this is my first domain..and havent had any problems...SO FAR!! Until now...

I have a domain hosted by http://www.one2host.com

Pretty cheap...fairly good service and options..But all of a sudden...my HOSTs web site is GONE!

It all started 5 days ago..I could get MY domain up....would load...I tried to FTP...that was down also...I go to their site..and shoot off an e-mail about the problems...next day..my site was back up..(thought maybe server went down...oh well..) But now everytime I tried to go to my WEB HOSTs site...it NEVER loads up..like the server is DOWN or smething...It has been a while now...and am curious as what you think I should do...I am already paid up for a year. I guess I really dont care..about their site too much..but it has an administrator control panel..wher you can make new POP3 e-mail accounts.and extra sub-domains...and now is DOWN...my real problem is that...they have a servercheck.cgi script that you are supposed to put in your CGI-bin and open that path in your browser..so you can the specifics about your account...(more importantly..the PATH to sendmail) I can NOT get this script to run..and I keep thinking it has to do with their site being down..

Anybody got any REAL suggestions about what to do?...Can I contact somebody to get answers about this? or what?..Like the better business bureau???

Thanks

XML, Allow Domain.
Hi people,

Got a fast question. I'm a bit lazy to read up on this subject and don't really have the time either so I came here for a fast answer. I'm loading an .xml file into a .swf ( it's not in the same folder with the .swf ) and inside that .xml file I have a path to an image, that is in the same folder with the .xml file.

From what I know ( if I'm right ) then the .swf file gives access automatically to everything that is in the same root with it ( same directory ) but how do I allowAccesss to that image that is in another folder ?

Thanks in advance.

[CS3,AS2] SWF<?domain>PHP
1) I have an swf thats loaded in web1.html. Now i want to send a set of variables to a php file.

BUT, i can not store a php file in the server where i have stored web1.html and the swf.

So, I create another account where I am able to store my php file. So this php wil be in some other domain.

My question is :

How can i pass a set of variables from swf file in web1.html to the php that is in this new domain?
1) Can i pass variable directly from the swf of web1.html to that PHP file?
2) Can i pass variable from swf of web1.html to an swf that is in the new domain ?

Getting Domain Name?
I'm wondering how I can get the domain name for a Flash file? Is there a way to get automatically get the domain name from a web server or the local HD and store it in a variable?

Thanks!

Get Domain?
Hi

I wonder is is possible to get page url or domain.
U have file:
www.exampledomain.comAnimation.swf

Now each user can embed this file on his page using embed tag. I need to get user page url's to my statistics. In most cases loaderInfo.url work great, but not in this case - it return orginal swf File path: www.exampledomain.comAnimation.swf insted of browser url or domain.

SWF Is MIA On One Domain, But Not The Other?
I have a modest webpage which I use primarily to put up the occasional photo/video of the family:

http://www.staggclan.com

...and which contains a Flash file xreferencing a Flash video. This is what it is supposed to look like: http://www.dfwaug.net/test/index.html.

As you can see - the video works fine in the latter sample (its the same hierarchy). But why can't you see the video at all on my website? You can take a look at the staggclan.com source code on that page and you can see that I am NOT xreferencing my hard drive nor am I referencing an image which hasn't been uploaded (even if I were - you'd at least see a "broken image" indicator). It doesn't even include space for where that video should be - it's like it wasn't even placed there.

For the life of me I don't know what the problem is. Why will it work in one domain but not the other (both hosted by 1&1.com)? Whoever can correctly solve this problem for me will find me ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

All the best.

Using LocalConnection.domain()
Hello all,

I've been browsing around trying to figure out how to get the full domain (subdomain and all) into a variable. So far I have used:

var LC = new LocalConnection();
var movieDomain = LC.domain();

to get the domain, but that only returns "mysite.com". I am trying to get the subdomain included as well, ie. "subdomain.mysite.com". Is there a way to get this?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi

Little queery on domain names. A design company that I have seen in my area has this domain name:

Would really appreciate it!

} else {
//don't do something
}

Thanks!

Cross Domain
Hello,
I have been messing around with socket servers and had few questions about cross domain. If I have a flash client on a webhost and my server on another host, when the client connects to the socket server will it send a policy request to the socket server or look for crossdomain.xml in the root directory?

I would appreciate any help i can get.

Thanks

Help With Cross Domain From An SWF
Greetings flash world,

I am currently stumped on a project. I am giving a weather report through a flash player. However for the twist, this is not a browser run flash file. This is being run from my desktop.

This runs into problem when dealing with the "sandbox" security system flash has set up. My file will go grab the information from xml files. Starts off getting the city from an xml file on the user sides computer (the one with the SWF file). Then it contacts Environment Canada and using the city name, it asks for the code number and province (Canadian program) in which to grab the weather from. Then re contacts EC, and using the code number and province, it finds the weather report and downloads that information into the SWF to be displayed on the fly.

Now all this does work perfectly while running it straight out of the Flash pro program. However if you run the SWF it runs into the security problem and doesn't bring back any information past grabbing the city name from the local XML file.

In an experiment I set flash up to run through a php server to go grab the information. This does work... however once again I am not running my SWF through an internet browser (what PHP needs). So that isn't working.

And as for a conformation.xml file or anything, the server I am trying to access of course isn't my own and there for i can not add such a file to the server to allow flash to access it from another domain, such as my computer.

So how can I access cross domain information from a local none browser run SWF file?

See if you can rap your mind around this one. No one seems to have an answer as of yet to solve this problem.
