I am attempting to load a flv file from a media server on a different url into our flex app. Extremely frustratingly, I get this error:
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: http://localhost:8080/survey-service/client-1.0-alpha2-SNAPSHOT.swf cannot access http://[OUR MEDIA SERVER]/secure-media/ee12ec2d79911fc67fddbe9a41ef6954/48e40de3/audi-q7.flv. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded. at flash.display::BitmapData/draw() at mx.effects.effectClasses::MaskEffectInstance/getVisibleBounds() at mx.effects.effectClasses::MaskEffectInstance/initMask() at mx.effects.effectClasses::MaskEffectInstance/startEffect() at mx.effects::Effect/play() [etc] I have no idea what is trying to "bitmap draw" or why. All i want to do is play the video, then move on to another screen by listening to the "COMPLETE" event. This error appears at the end of the video, and the complete event listener doesn't work. My #1 option would be to stop this "draw" call. I have no need to access bitmap data and shouldn't need a cross-domain file. #2 would be to upload the cross-domain policy file to the media server. Uploading the file is no problem, but to set "checkPolicyFile" it seems I need to access the netStream object. Flex's "VideoDisplay" seems to offer no way to do this. Is my only option to throw that away, and build my own player on top of the "Video" class? thanks! Ryan
