Just hit http://localhost:8080/flex/HelloWorld.swf That brought down the binary file, showing a blank screen. Essentially, uninterpreted. View source shows the binary image. I am aware that Flex 9 is installed. Now I am wondering if the swf is being corrupted by being sent through the same code that sends gifs, jpgs, pngs, js and css. The only difference being that the response is set to the mime type for the shockwave application, application/x-shockwave-flash or something like that.
I did strip the html and finally coaxed the raw html to boot the swf outside the servlet. It's failing only inside the servlet, strongly suggesting I have the wrong code for converting a swf into an outputstream and sending it through a printwriter. Thoughts? Many thanks for taking such time on my bug. It's liable to be a rather dumb bug but it's slightly above me right now. Jack On 2/8/07, Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hit the swf directly from a browser: http://myserver/mysite/Helloworld.swf Then do the same for your real swf.

One wonders why I didn't try that before. I did a saveAs on the page, cleaned up the html to reflect the swf and js in the same directory and voila. Nothing! Makes one wonder if it's a browser issue. The browser, with this code, would toss an exception if it didn't have version 9 available. Version 9 is installed. It's Firefox 1.5.09 IE, after first tossing a fit over a script, then showed, again, nothing. That leaves me to wonder what it is about the swf itself that might be faulty. The swf code I presented below is precisely what I hand compiled with the sdk. It should at least say something. Yes? My earlier trials used an swf I compiled with the Eclipse application builder. In that builder, running as a Flex application showed it to work fine. But, it never showed in a browser through a servlet engine. Thanks to the suggestion, I'm now left with two candidates: flex is installed but not working -- I've gone out on the web and have reason to believe I have exercised it on swf objects elsewhere enough to have reason to believe it is working, or, there is something about the swfs I am creating that is faulty. I am eager to hear other ideas or be pointed to something dumb or obvious that I overlooked.

Put the swf in the same folder as the wrapper. From a browser on the server hosting the wrapper, can you hit the jetty / swf url?

Many thanks Jack In an earlier thread, I got engaged in the issue of history.js and a history.html iframe. There is a template that doesn't use history. That's as barebones as it gets. I am running the simplest possible test to validate that my servlet can paint swf content. I went so far as to craft a simple helloworld as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; pageTitle="HelloWorld Sample" > <mx:Label text="Hello World!"/> <mx:Label text="Hello World!" color="#003366" fontSize="40"/> </mx:Application> I then adapted a template as follows (note the classpath to the swf file -- this is an embedded Jetty server) -- the servlet prints a trace that clearly shows it sending the swf file. What I get is a colored box set to the background color (which, to me, indicates flex is interpreting something from the html) but nothing from the content itself. What am I missing?
