[Flashcoders] Flex sdk set up question
Sorry to ask a Flex question here but I'm sure one of you knows the answer or at least can point me to the place I can find the answer. I am using Flex builder to build a pure AS project. I have been using the 3.0 sdk without a problem. When I updated the SDK to in order to build a Flash 10 project the compiler can't find the core flash package. So base stuff like MovieClip does not exist. I pretty much just downloaded the SDK and added via the preferences dialogue. I've tried the 3.2, 3.3, 4.0 SDKs with the same results. I'm sure I am missing some step but I'm not sure what. Also, where is the best forum for asking Flex questions?

[Flashcoders] Document class constructor
What is the order of execution for the document class constructor. The
behavior seems inconsistent. For example, when I load my swf independently
calling this.loaderInfo.url in the constructor returns the correct url.
However, the same thing returns null if my swf is loaded by another swf.
Is it safe to do this or will it create a race condition when the swf is
loaded independently?
public function DocumentClassConstructor()
{
trace(this.loaderInfo.url); // url might be null
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init);
}
public function init()
{
// everything is ready, proceed
trace(this.loaderInfo.url); // always return the url
}

[Flashcoders] Flash 10 file upload

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 10 file upload
The file upload has to occur as the result of a user interaction. If you are doing any upload that is not associated with button click Flash 10 rejects the upload. The change is not backward compatible. Flash 8 and 9 content that do not conform is broken. Here are couple articles on the topic and the F10 security documentation. http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1382 http://theflashblog.com/?p=423 http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_security_change s_02.html#head34 Very bad.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 10 file upload
Actually this is not the way security updates were made in the past. With other updates, for instance the introduction of and multiple changes to the allowDomain rules, backward compatibility was maintained for older versions. I agree with Juan, breaking a feature that has been supported for years is a serious lack of respect for users of the platform.

It's awful, but I wouldn't really say it's an stupid decision. As soon as they decided to cripple the functionality, making it global is the only way to go. It's a no-win situation. This is also the way certain similar security decisions have been made in the past. I think the only real solution would be to let it work as usual, BUT add an optional checkbox to the file browsing dialog that would let the user disable further dialogs from that Flash movie (or at least THEN make it respond to events only), in the same vein Google Chrome does with Javascript dialog popups. It works very well to combat the focus-stealing exploits, and I'm not sure why Adobe didn't take that route instead.

I've tracked down the problem to a local SharedObject of a particular class. The destructor of said class closes the SharedObject (even though that shouldn't be necessary since it is local) and nulls the variable but it seems this is not enough for the garbage collector. The memory is not released. However, if I never create the SharedObject in the first place and go through the same destruction procedure memory is released!

In my previous reply to your earlier email I posted a Flex version of the answer. This time I created a Flash example. It is added as attachment. The attached zip file contains 2 directories. Make sure you have your webserver point to to these directories, the virtual hosts in apache: *VirtualHost *:80 ServerName domain1 DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain1 /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 ServerName domain2 DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain2 /VirtualHost* In the hosts file (if you are on windows) you need these 2 entries: *127.0.0.1 domain1 127.0.0.1 domain2* In order to test the example, call this url: *http://domain1/domain1.html* You should see this appear on your screen: *domain1.swf domain2.swf loaded Domain2Base* I hope this will solve your problem.

[Flashcoders] AVM1 loadMovie problems
I am having some problems loading multiple Flash 8 movies into Flash 9. I understand that this not recommended and that is preferred to work with all Flash 9/AS 3 content. Here is the situation. I have 2 Flash 8 swfs, let's call these f8loader1.swf and f8loader2.swf. Both of these swfs instantiate the same class, F8AssestClass, which loads another Flash 8 swf, f8asset.swf. In my Flash 9 application I am loading f8loader1.swf which instantiates F8AssetClass which loads f8asset.swf just as planned. However, when I then load f8loader2.swf, it starts up and instantiates F8AssetClass but f8asset.swf never loads. I have tried to load f8asset.swf with both loadMovie and with the MovieClipLoader. It never loads the second time. I have a project where the above scenario is going to be in play multiple times and I don't have much flexibility to adjust the Flash 8 content.

[Flashcoders] System.as vs System.security
I asked a question about this on Friday with no response but here goes
again this time with more details. It seems like the Flash compiler is
choking on the System class when I delete the ASO cache and compile. Here
is all the code in my test fla:
System.security.allowDomain( http://www.mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com);
System.exactSettings = false;
and here is the compiler error I get from the System.as:
**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\dave\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\FP8\System.as: Line 7:
The name of this class, 'System', conflicts with the name of another class
that was loaded.
{
Switch the order of the lines:
System.exactSettings = false;
System.security.allowDomain( http://www.mydomain.com/
www.mydomain.com);
and here is the compiler error I get from the security.as class
**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\dave\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\FP8\System\security.as:
Line 7: The name of this class, 'System.security', conflicts with the name
of another class that was loaded, 'System'.
It seems that the problem is related to the fact that there is both a
System.as class, which defines exactSettings, useCodepage, setClipboard,
etc, and a System folder which contains the System.security,
System.capabilities, and System.IME classes. When both the System package
and the System class are referenced the compiler throws an error. I
searched around and was surprised that I couldn't find any information
related to the conflict. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

[Flashcoders] Re: swf and referring domain
Thanks for the response Ray but that is not really what I am looking for. I don't want to prevent others from using my swf. I just want an way to identify the referring domain when it is embedded. Specifically, I want people to embed my swf from my server on their web pages (hosted by myspace or anywhere else) and have the player detect at runtime where the request is coming from. Unfortunately using php or asp for referrer detection is not an option. I am hoping there is a way to get it from the player. I figure the player must know about the referring domain as it is able to block or accept calls from the page with the allowscriptaccess parameter. The swf (SWFA) that wants to load your swf (SWFB) can't do so if you i) you don't allow it ii) you don't know where SWFA is You have to know where SWFA is to allow it.

stops rendering. This is especially problematic when the swf begins before
the page is done loading. The page never completes. Also, several sites I am
targeting, like mySpace, restrict javascript. I'm not sure what would happen
if I tried writing javascript at runtime to a mySpace page.

[Flashcoders] swf and referring domain
Is there a way to find the domain of the page that loads my swf. For example, someone embeds an swf served from my server on their www.myspace.com http://www.myspace.com/ page. Is there is way for me to determine that the request is coming from myspace.com at runtime? A search of the archive revealed this thread that describes exactly the problem that I am facing but I didn't see any solution. http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-October/175064.html I have the option of using AS 3 if it provides a solution.
