Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loader or URLRequest Issues on Mac
As I'm answering my own questions here, I guess I'll just posted my findings :) I just wanted to point out that this is much appreciated. There's way too many forum threads that end with never mind--figured it out, which is not that helpful to the next guy who has the same question (flexcoders is actually pretty good about this, but I figure it can't hurt to encourage the behavior).

[flexcoders] Re: Loader or URLRequest Issues on Mac
Yeah, I always get annoyed when I'm searching for an answer an then it's just never mind...figured it out. The answer may make you look foolish (if it's something simple), but someone else will probably be grateful for having a quick solution to their problem. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Maciek Sakrejda msakre...@... wrote: As I'm answering my own questions here, I guess I'll just posted my findings :) I just wanted to point out that this is much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Loader or URLRequest Issues on Mac
OK, I've got an update that may help someone troubleshoot what's going
on here. I installed FB3 on my wife's Mac and ran the debugger. The
error that is returned is
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I've tried changing the url to file:/location of file, I've tried
moving the file to the desktop, but neither worked. I read about
using the security policies (as that may be causing an issue), but I'm
not sure exactly how to get started with that. Any ideas?

There is a valid file at that location, but if I go to a terminal

quotes it doesn't (due to the spaces, I guess). I'm guessing this
shouldn't be an issue in the loadImage method as it's a variable. Am
I missing something else here? Or is there a trick I don't know about
using the Loader class on a Mac?
Thanks.

And pointing directly to a URL (http://...) works correctly also, so
it's definitely something weird with the file location, but I'm not
sure what.

[flexcoders] Re: Loader or URLRequest Issues on Mac
As I'm answering my own questions here, I guess I'll just posted my
findings :)
There appears to be something a little strange with the way it handles
the URL on a Mac. By adding 'file:/' in front of the url in new
URLRequest (e.g. var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( 'file:/' +
url ); ) it works correctly. I'm using the image.source for loading
the image ( image.source = url in this example ), but that does not
appear to be correct on a mac. Don't know if this is a bug or a
'user-error' :)
