Security Sandbox Violation

[Dazzer]

Can someone explain to me why this is screwing up

I am loading a swf from domain 1. This swf is accessing another domain (a jpg), and I encounter this error.

I tried fiddling around with flash.system.Security but I still can't seem to get it working.

Is this something I have to change in my swf, or their swf?

This is on Debug or testing movie?
I can test movie quite ok when loading swf or xml online, but if I go debug, it will show me this error too.

[Dazzer]

really? I'll try uploading then thanks

As it I was testing movie from my local machine loading external swfs, that works fine but i cannot debug. Would love to find out why also...

are you just loading the JPG or are you doing other things with it like BitmapData.draw()? Does the SWF that you are using to load the other SWF interact with the other SWF w/ AS at all? Or vise versa?

for my case, i am using loader class to load the url and adjusting to its attributes like x y width height thats all.. loading swfs and pictures... urlloader for xml files..

If you're interacting with ActionScript at all, you have to use allowDomain() when loading from another domain.

ActionScript 2:

ActionScript 3:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/Security.html#allowDomain()


For Text/XML (or access bitmap/sound data using draw or getting ID3 info etc), you need a crossdomain.xml file in the domain your loading from.

damn crossdomain files... - sobs -

tried making a thingie that would load a youtube flv, and play around with it using bitmapData. But wouldn't work, obviously - sobs -

:cubs: yeps u need to allow domain

[ajcates]

can some one give me an example of allow domain being used in as3

[senocular]

Security.allowDomain("example.com"); // SWFs from example.com can interact with this SWFs AS

[Dazzer]

but that doesn't allow me to play with the bitmap (bitmapdata.draw for instance) since i don'th ave cross domain policy files. lol
