actionscript 3 - URL opening error in Flash CS4 -


i have script loads php page variables. there no problems when swf uploaded site when run locally, keep getting "error opening url" messages. i'm using absolute pathing , if paste url script using in browser, correct page opens. started happening after site changed servers. ideas problem be? thanks.

the "error opening url" seems caused number of issues. have tried keep track of different solutions have used in past fix problem. ever time encounter "error opening url" solution different. 1 of these solutions helps you.

i find following solutions on google. - make sure crossdomain policy setup correctly. - set bunch of variables security.allowdomain(domainhere) - change publishing setting flash file. - make sure connecting right url.

here works me... usually.


1) make sure connecting right url. use full path, don't use relative links. also, copy , paste url in web browser see if connects.

you can use flash.events.httpstatusevent.http_status view http headers recommend check out solution 5 first. easier way more details.

2) put crossdomain.xml file in root of server (usually public_html or www)

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!doctype cross-domain-policy system "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">  <cross-domain-policy>     <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>

3) while editing flash file, press ctrl + shift + f12

make sure local playback security set access network only.


4) if hosting locally using mamp, wamp, xamp or similar, skip step. otherwise, call webhost , yell @ them ;)

i have hosted godaddy, hostgator , liquidweb. seems of them have kind of firewall setup blocking flash accessing files want to.

give host call, tell them problem , ask them whitelist files trying connect to , should go.

remember, everytime want connect new file, has whitelisted. forget , takes me 3 hours figure out why changing name of file or moving messes up. :)


5) use charles web debugging proxy program gather important information.

i break down few steps.

usually me "error opening url" due coding problem on site i'm trying connect to.

  1. open charles
  2. run flash file
  3. select site flash file tried connect in charles side bar.
  4. view response tab near top.
  5. on response tab should see few other tabs near bottom. view headers tab.

    • see http_status returned. search this page see status code means. give broad definition still helps narrow things down.
    • 500 means problem server... if server running fine, code problem.
  6. then view text tab near bottom of response tab. show webpage looks flash. if server in kind of debug mode displays errors, see them.

well hope helps someone. try continue update more issues , solutions run into. number 1 problem run flash. super annoying!
