Domain security 1

[JRBeltman]

Hi there,
I am running into an issue where my flash isn't loading my xlm file.

Let me outline the directory structure:

http://www.mydomain.com/movie.html

http://www.mydomain.com/flash/movie.swf

http://www.mydomain.com/flash/movie.xml

So, when I call the movie.html page the movie plays but fails to read the xlm file that is in a sub folder.

I tried
System.security.allowDomain("

http://www.mydomain.com");

System.security.loadPolicyFile("

http://www.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml");

With the crossdomain.xml file like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

But those two actually don't make sense anyway, cause I am on the same domain.

I have run the movie.swf file itself in its sub folder and that works fine.

Can anyone figure this one out???

This is not a domain security issue. When you embed a SWF in a HTML, paths to external files become relative to the HTML, not relative to the SWF.

You can either add "base" parameter to <object>/<embed> tags, or add a script to work out the absolute path to external files.

Details are in these threads: thread250-1312350 thread250-1312368

Not only does such great help deserve a *, but also an extra compliment! Thanks a million!

I have been struggeling with this issue for a week now, not helped by the fact that I am using wordpress.

I also noticed yesterday that indeed this is not a domain security issue, but that it simply couldn't find the xml file. So, as you can guess I have been banging my head against the wall trying to find a solution.. Never did it occur to me to actually find that solution within flash

Thanks Again!!
