[flexcoders] RTMP works with .mxml but not swf?

[jfujita1]

I'm deploying my app to the web server and I have a major problem


Say I have a messaging destination called "fleet_demo" set up and
broadcasting messages.  Say my app is the following:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
        
        
        <mx:Consumer id="consumer"  message="rtmpHandler(event.message)"/>
        
        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                
                        import mx.messaging.messages.IMessage;
                        import mx.controls.Alert;
                        
                        private function init():void
                        {
                                consumer.destination = "fleet_demo";
                                consumer.subscribe();
                        }
                        


                        private function rtmpHandler(message:IMessage):void
                        {
                                Alert.show("Recieved RTMP message", "ALERT");
                        }
                ]]>
        </mx:Script>
</mx:Application>



If I deploy this to my webserver as an MXML file, it takes a bit of
time to compile when loaded, but the alert windows pop up as it
receives the RTMP messages.

If I deploy this to my webserver as the compiled SWF file, no RTMP
messages are recieved.  There is no error message at all, its just as
though no RTMP messages are getting received.


Why is this?  My real flex app is too large to compile at run-time so
I need to know why apps deployed as SWF files have this problem
receiving RTMP messages.



Thanks
