Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems
Does the server hosting the webservices have a crossdomain.xml file? The crossdomain.xml file has to be on the server/domain you're trying to access, not on the server/domain the Flash movie resides on. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14213 regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: "Liam Mincy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 12:25 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems >I thought I had sent an email with my resolution, if not I appologize :) > > The services in question were not allowing us to access them through the > means Flash > was communicating with the web service from our server.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems
I thought I had sent an email with my resolution, if not I appologize :) The services in question were not allowing us to access them through the means Flash was communicating with the web service from our server. The company that was hosting the service said that there was nothing on teir end that would prevent the transfer of data, as demonstrated with our local access to the services. There may have been a firewall issue or something else happening on the Windows Server that was hosting things that was blocking the transfer. I did not come to a resolution, per se, what we ended up doing was writing a .NET web service on the same machine as the Flash. That web service sat between the Flash and the remote web service to pass the data along and return the results with its own exposed methods. This was deadline / crunch time and since I couldn't get any real help from the server people, who said that everything was working, I just went with what I knew would work. On another project, however, I did use corssdomain.xml when callng Flash from within an iframe which called another web service on the machine local to the Flash movie within the iframe and that seemed to work well. When I get a moment I want to play with this to see what I am doing wrong or if there are just certain types of web services that do not communicate with Flash when on a server under my setup. What type of web service are you calling? What environment does the Flash live within? Is there a crossdomain.xml file? liam m- --- John Braunstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Liam, > > Did you ever find out the problem? Im having the same > issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems
Assuming that webservices.domain.com is where your web service is
located, and www.domain.com is where your swf files are located, so you
have the crossdomain.xml file on the correct server (it should be on
webservices.domain.com)?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems
Try adding a domain="*" attribute to , and a node to your cross-domain-policy nodes. Let me know if this works so I can feel a smug sense of satisfaction.

My crossdomain.xml file is structured like the following: I am hoping that I do not have to register with a third party for certification, but this shouldn't be the case.

[Flashcoders] Flash + Web Services problems
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had this same issue and maybe had a
solution.
I have a Flash swf file which needs to connect to a Web Service to login and
access
the site. The Web Service is on another server (which I know is up and
functioning
by way of other tests) and Flash is trying to connect but is just not
processing the
request.
During development and when I try the file locally the file gets the request,
processes the XML, and logs the user in. So the problem has something to do
with the
file being on a server. I have also installed a crossdomain.xml file but this
is not
alleviating the problem...
The things that I have identified as just boggling me are:
- Does every remote call now require a security setting to be changed?
- Is there a way to speed up the way Flash calls to a service or to stop it
from
hanging?
I am aware that the speed is dependant upon my code, and here is how I am using
the
Connector:
var wscListener:Object = new Object();
trace("Sending message to "+friendEmailAddress+" ::
"+typeof(friendEmailAddress));
wscListener.result = function(evt:Object) {
trace("Send to friend results :: "+evt.target.results);
this.emailResults = evt.target.results;
}
wscListener.status = function(evt:Object) {
trace("- Friend Status --");
trace("Friend fault code :: "+evt.data.faultcode);
trace("Friend fault string :: "+evt.data.faultstring);
trace("Friend detail :: "+evt.data.detail);
}
var wsConn:WebServiceConnector = new WebServiceConnector();
wsConn.WSDLURL = "http://webservice.mysite.com/myservice.asmx?wsdl";;
wsConn.params = [fromEmailAddress, friendEmailAddress];
wsConn.operation = 'SendEmailToFriend';
wsConn.addEventListener("result", wscListener);
wsConn.addEventListener("status", wscListener);
wsConn.suppressInvalidCalls = false;
wsConn.multipleSimultaneousAllowed = true;
wsConn.trigger();
Again, this works locally fine but hangs on the server. Any help or suggestions
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
liam m-
