WHen you run locally, you don't have a domain name so special sandbox rules let you get away with cross-domain access. Once deployed, the sandbox rules come into play. a.b.com is a different domain than d.b.com and I think from b.com as well and I think you'll need crossdomain files at the root of all of those places. You may need to re-read the doc on LocalConnection to make sure you are using it correctly. I don't think allowInsecureDomain matters unless HTTPS is in play.

This works using LocalConnection to communicate from Flex2 to Flash8. I've built my app so that it does everything I want, but now that I'm trying to deploy it I'm running into some problems. Everything about the app appears to work fine, except for the LocalConnection, which only seems to work in Firefox, and under certain conditions. In IE, I can't change videos at all, and the "sample video", which is hardcoded in the f8 player to load up on load, only loads up when you go to site.com and not www.site.com. For whatever reason, going to www.site.com or site.com affects whether the program works under Firefox, even though I believe I've enabled all domains for all features (see below). I've also enabled popups under IE and Firefox. I haven't gotten LocalConnection to work at all in IE. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a readout of what works where (app.html is the wrapper generated by Flex). "OK" mean everything works fine: Swf loaded from remote location: -------------------------------------- OK http://site.com/dir/app.swf <http://site.com/dir/app.swf> - Firefox OK http://site.com/dir/app.html <http://site.com/dir/app.html> - Firefox FAIL http://www.site.com/dir/app.swf <http://www.site.com/dir/app.swf> - Firefox FAIL http://www.site.com/dir/app.html <http://www.site.com/dir/app.html> - Firefox FAIL http://site.com/dir/app.swf <http://site.com/dir/app.swf> - IE (Loads sample vid) FAIL http://site.com/dir/app.html <http://site.com/dir/app.html> - IE (Loads sample vid) FAIL http://www.site.com/dir/app.swf <http://www.site.com/dir/app.swf> - IE (No sample vid) FAIL http://www.site.com/dir/app.html <http://www.site.com/dir/app.html> - IE (No sample vid) Swf run Locally -------------------------------------- OK app.swf - Running by itself on XP Desktop (locally, in Adobe's swf player) OK app.swf - Running in Firefox on XP Desktop (locally) FAIL app.swf - Running in IE on Desktop (locally) Code: -------------------------------------- Inside 8.swf, an embedded Flash8 app in my Flex2 app.swf AVM_lc = new LocalConnection(); AVM_lc.allowInsecureDomain('*'); AVM_lc.exchangeMovie = Delegate.create(this, changeMovie); AVM_lc.connect("AVM2toAVM1"); ... function changeMovie(s:String):Void { a.loadMovie("http://site.com/get.php?t= <http://site.com/get.php?t=> "+s); play(true); } Inside app.swf, the Flex2 app //Called every time a certain class of button is pressed var AVM_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); AVM_lc.allowInsecureDomain('*'); AVM_lc.send("AVM2toAVM1", "exchangeMovie", e.m); //e.m is "new movie name" //AVM_lc is not closed() but I assume it's garbage collected crossdomain.xml (stored in root of site): <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/> </cross-domain-policy>
