Try adding a cross-domain policy file at the root of your site:

Also, having a browser tracer for debugging is quite helpful when developing:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashtracer/ (add-on)
Lastly, check if any error is being dump in the browser console:
Chrome: View -> Developer -> Developer Tools
Firefox: Tools -> Web Developer -> Firebug (add-on)
You need to use "base" attribute to embed XML driven swf in wordpress.. Here is the solution http://masterblogster.com/how-to-embed-swf-file-in-wordpress-that-loads-xml-file/

I'm trying to load the swf created by 'flip book maker' into my project.
the files created by flipbook maker are
book.swf
framework.swf
I used the following code
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("book.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
addChild(myLoader);``
the framework.swf is linked with book.swf, so it cannot run alone.
When I run the movie it shows the Error #2032, Stream error to framework.swf
book.swf and framework.swf both are in the same directory.They are generated by flip book maker What I needed is to load the book.swf into my project at a particular frame. I need help in AS3 for this purpose.
How to fix it..?
please help me..!
Error #2032 means that your Flash application could not load the framework.swf for some reason (you know this already of course). What you need to find out is why. Possible reasons are: you have the wrong URL, the framework.swf is not in the place you expect, there are crossdomain restrictions on the file you are trying to access ( you did not state where frameworks.swf).
What I would suggest doing is using a web debugging proxy tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) or Firebug (is a Firefox extension) and take a look at the http requests to get more information on your error. You may find out that frameworks.swf is not in the location you expect.
This is just a IOError event triggered by Adobe Flash. Most likely the file just isn't found. Check your path and make sure you place the .swf file in your bin-debug directory if you're doing this from within Adobe Flash Builder
I have a simple flash activity that loads its text from an external file called QA.txt using the URLLoader function. I wanted to convert this file to html5 using Google Swiffy, which I have done, expect it doesn't seem to be loading the QA.txt file anymore. I believe it says this functionality is supported on their main website, so I'm wondering why it might not be working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Swiffy does indeed support URLLoader!
I think your problem is this: if you open up your converted html file in your browser and also open up the developer tools console (try hitting F12), you should see an error message along the lines of:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load .../...myText.txt. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.
Because you've open up the converted html page by itself, your browser isn't letting the code in that page fetch any other files, because they aren't being treated as coming from the same origin (even though they might well be sitting in the same directory) due to the same origin policy.
To get around this, you should access the swiffy html by fetching it through a local web server, something like apache (php) or node (javascript).
(It should also be working normally if you upload it onto the internet.)
I have a problem here regarding flash+as3.
I'm makin an application that take data from XML file and show it on flash.
Now here's my problem.
When I preview the file, it went just fine. All the data been shown on the flash.
When I published it into .exe file, it also went just fine. All data been shown.
But...
When I published it into .swf file, there's a problem. All the graphical images been show, but data that i got from the XML file does not shown.
But when I took the published file and drag it into flash, it went just fine. All the data been shown.
I'm not quite sure what happen. Is there any setup that I have to do to solve this problem?
Thanks guys.
2 possible problems:
your path to the xml data is relative and your published swf can't find it.
More likely your xml data is on a web server and you are looking at the swf through a local webpage using file:///myfile.html. This fails because of security. Adobe have decided that local swfs can only look at local content, and network swfs can only look at network content. This rule is disregarded in the flash ide because if you have the flash ide you are a developer and you should know what you are doing.
Check out your swf on a web server and report back.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to flash coding.
I have a flash swf file that I'm loading from an S3 assets bucket. Inside the flash swf it should be displaying a "Browse" button, images also courtesy of the same bucket. This works fine when I host the images and swf file from the same domain that the site is on, but not when loaded from S3.
I have added a crossdomain.xml file to the assets bucket as follows (I'm trying with '*' to start just to get it working, and will narrow it down to my actual host when it appears to be doing anything):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I also have a cross-origin resource sharing configuration in the bucket so that the fonts will correctly load for our stylesheets (This is working).
What am I doing wrong to make the button images load in the actionscript? Do I need to modify the actionscript code itself? The code is located here (public library anyone can use, not authored by me): s3-swf-upload-plugin
You can see here that it is instantiating a new browseButton defined here. Like I said I'm not totally familiar with actionscript but believe I could fumble through it if someone could show me what's going wrong :) What's a good way to get actual error reporting? Firebug in Firefox and Chrome's console don't have any kind of messages from Flash about errors going on.
EDIT:
There were some quirkinesses going on in the setting up of the flash object and setting the paths for the button images. I updated BrowseButton.as to do this:
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/crossdomain.xml");
I placed this before any of the URLRequest calls in the BrowseButton() function. However it's still not displaying the images :( I also hardcoded the values in the URLRequest to be things like:
upLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/assets/s3_up_button.gif"));
but nothing seems to happen. When I set it to /assets/s3_up_button.gif to pull from the local file then it works fine. What am I doing wrong! How can I get error messages displaying from the flash video? :\ I compiled with <debug>true</debug> but I'm not sure how to get actual exception messages.
Check what sandbox your swf is in:
The Security.sandboxType property
An author of a SWF file can use the read-only static
Security.sandboxType property to determine the type of sandbox to
which Flash Player has assigned the SWF file. The Security class
includes constants that represent possible values of the
Security.sandboxType property, as follows:
Security.REMOTE--The SWF file is from an Internet URL, and operates under domain-based sandbox rules.
Security.LOCAL_WITH_FILE--The SWF file is a local file, but it has not been trusted by the user and was not published with a networking designation. The SWF file can read from local data sources but cannot communicate with the Internet.
Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK--The SWF file is a local file and has not been trusted by the user, but it was published with a networking designation. The SWF can communicate with the Internet but cannot read from local data sources.
Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED--The SWF file is a local file and has been trusted by the user, using either the Settings Manager or a Flash Player trust configuration file. The SWF file can both read from local data sources and communicate with the Internet.
You probably want Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK, although Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED will also work.
An explanation, along with details of how to set the sandbox in Flex, is here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05B_Security_04.html
If you're working in the Flash IDE, it should just be part of the publish settings.
Sometimes I need to write a small program just to represent some data in a chart, or similar stuff. I have been wanting to do this kind of things through the browser, with HTML5. I think it would be nice to use its canvas to create a nice UI for simple apps.
I have read some articles related to offline applications with HTML5, but they focus on downloading all the data you need and save it to the cache to use it offline later. You even need to set up an Apache server (or similar) to create your app.
I don't need my app to be online, just in my computer. I just want to create a simple application, nothing to do with internet at all.
How can I do this? Is it even possible or worthy? Is there any "Hello world!" tutorial about this around there?
Something like Mozilla Prism would be good for displaying the content as an application.
There's no need to have a web server like Apache for just displaying HTML5/Javascript in a browser. You can just have it all in a folder on your desktop and then load it in the browser with the file:// protocol.
For example file://C:/Documents and Settings/YourUser/Desktop/YourApp/index.html would open an HTML file in a folder called YourApp on your user's desktop.
If you ever find you need to read static HTML+Javascript files locally then I'd recommend using this python command in the console:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
It launches a simple HTTP server (who'd of guessed) that serves files from the current working directory. Effectively, it's the same as launching an apache webserver, putting some static assets in /var/www/... etc. etc.
You could also just browse to the assets at file:///some/folder; however, most browsers will prevent javascript from using AJAX when files are loaded in that way, which will manifest as a bunch of bugs when you go to load it.
