RE: [flexcoders] Net.Connection debugger - Is there something like it in Flex2?

[Peter Farland]

I’d have to assume then that the request isn’t even making it to the server, in which case it must be a connection error… perhaps a security sandbox violation?   If you’re using 127.0.0.1 in your gateway URL, note that you will have to load your SWF over HTTP using this same URL. The Flash Player does not resolve host names to IPs to do a check, it’s a very strict string based match. Perhaps you were loading your SWF using “localhost” but then trying to connect somewhere using “127.0.0.1”?   Are you familiar with the trace() command and the flashlog.txt file? If not, do you have an mm.cfg file in your user directory (i.e. on windows this is typically setup by default to be C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\flashlog.txt) with the following contents?   ErrorReportingEnable=1 TraceOutputFileEnable=1   Also, are you using the debug version of the Flash Player? You may get more information about connection errors in this console.     Pete   P.S. Are you using HTTPS by any chance? If so, then Paros Proxy is a good sniffer application that can intercept requests on the client (rather than a server side proxy), and can also let you see HTTPS traffic.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Duncan McMillan Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 1:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com; Duncan McMillan Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Net.Connection debugger - Is there something like it in Flex2?   Thanks Pete But I have changed both my gateway-config.xml and flex-config.xml files (both attached) and I still do not get any debug output in the Jrun console. I have also attached my mxml and php (service) files as follows (hope these are OK): rbox.....mxml => the main application which calls a RemoteSummary component. RemoteSUmmary.mxml => which uses the associated AS file HelloAgain.php is positioned in my Xampp(apache2) services folder. The AllResults button triggers the call to the service, and the bottom_label binds to the service result. Hope you can help me.
