RE: [flexcoders] Security Sandbox Violation when loading image

[Matt Chotin]

I’m not an expert at this by any stretch.  The security sandbox violation when dealing with images/movies generally occurs because the SWF that did the loading (myserver.com/index.mxml) tries to access properties of the loaded movie (otherserver.com/someImage, and yes I realize it may not be a SWF).  I’m not sure why properties you’d be trying to access though, maybe depth swapping or something?  Maybe the Flex app does it on its own.  I wonder if Manish ran into this with the map example J   As for it working with XML and not with RemoteObject, that does strike me as strange.  The only thing I can think of would be that somehow establishing a connection to your source server prevents the SWF from thinking that it should be allowed to contact the other server.  Do you own the other server?  Any chance you could try putting a crossdomain.xml file on there (see technotes for info on crossdomain).   Sorry, not very useful I know,   Matt   From: Kristopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 10:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Security Sandbox Violation when loading image   I'm trying to load some images from a different domain than the one my Flex app lives on. When I do, the debugger prints out a bunch of errors like this:   *** Security Sandbox Violation *** SecurityDomain 'http://myserver.com/index.mxml?debug=true' tried to access incompatible context 'http://otherserver.com/someImage?wid=30'   (Note, the image is dynamically generated and the URL should not include ".jpg")   Despite the errors, my images still seem to load in successfully, both through the Flex Builder IDE and when viewed directly in IE. Or so I thought.   The weird thing I've discovered is that if my image paths are brought into my Flex app via an XML file, then I do get the errors above, but the images do load successfully. However, if my image paths come in as a result of a remote object call, I get the same errors and my images DON'T load successfully. I've double checked the exact path's that are being used in both situations by tracing out the path immediately before it is used as the value for the "source" property of the <mx:Image> tag and it is EXACTLY the same in both cases.   So I have questions. First, why do I get those error messages? Secondly, if there really is a security sandbox violation, why do the images load successfully under the conditions I mentioned above? And finally, how do I prevent these violations from occurring in the first place?   Thanks for any insight you can provide.   Kris   --   Kristopher Schultz Developer   Resource Interactive p: 614.410.2123 www.resource.com   Yahoo!
