[Flashcoders] Flashcomm server and IE
Hi List, I have a chat application that connects to the flash comm server (localhost, windows XP sp2) in order to work. When I connect it through the standalone player, it connects ok, but when published as html and viewed in Internet Explorer, it refuses to connect, although it definitely used to do that before. It does work in Firefox, though... When checking the Communication App Inspector, I found, again, that although it works from within the IDE and as a standalone, it refuses to connect to the server from the html environment in IE, although I use the same (stored) connection parameters. I'm still using MX 2004, and my standalone player is Flash 7, and the apps are all published to Flash 7, but the with flash 8 plugin for IE (8,0,22,0). But it seems that I never updated Firefox, so the plugin is still 7 (7,0,35,5). So it looks as if the Flash 8 plugin is the culprit here, but why would it do that, and is there any solution?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flashcomm server and IE
Please change the IE plug-in to Flash and test it. If it does not work that would isolate the player as the culprit. I'd also ask if you could check your security settings with regards to IE. Just shots in the dark to see if one can narrow down the problem. I personally have had few problems making the shift on both platforms from 7 to 8 on IE Mozilla and NScape a - Original Message - From: Karina Steffens [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 2:10 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Flashcomm server and IE Hi List, I have a chat application that connects to the flash comm server (localhost, windows XP sp2) in order to work.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flashcomm server and IE
I came across an article about security changes in Flash 8, but it didn't mention the FlashComm server, although it got me thinking. I mucked around the advanced security settings panels for Flash 8, and added localhost to the trusted locations in the global security settings panel. This solved my local problem - I can now connect to the server from IE. However, that led me to check the client's app, by trying to connect to the chat application on the server, and that doesn't work anymore, even if I add the remote domain to the safe list. According to my client, there were a couple of reports from people unable to connect, but they were too few for him to take notice. These must be the ones that upgraded to 8. Any ideas what I must do to get this to work? Would it possibly be the application path? I simply use something like - rtmp:/gth/assessment1 - which used to work both locally and remotely before. Is it simply a matter of changing the path to reflect the domain name?
