Flash GetObject

[AndyH]

I'm having a problem with the Get Object in Flash (see attached file).

I am trying to access a URL on the same server that the Flash app is served from but the "On get complete" condition is never triggered.

In the attached file I have changed the URL to http://www.google.com. When I test in MMF (F8) it works, but not when built as a SWF file. When run either locally or from my webserver the event is never triggered and my text box remains on displaying "Requesting" forever.

I believe I am using the latest version of the Get object from the Released Extensions forum:

Any ideas?

Try getting something from clickteam.info, since it has a crossdomain.xml that will allow you to do that.

That sort of helps - I can atleast now access your site via the Flash app on my local PC, thanks for that info.

It seems I may have a bigger issue though, my Flash swf file lives in the 12 hive of a SharePoint installation and it is supposed to access an aspx file I have in the same location...it is this that is not working now.

If I create a new Web App in IIS and put my SWF and HTML files in there it works (without the crossdomain.xml). I think that there's some security issue in SharePoint causing me trouble now

Will have to take a proper look as to why tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Just an update. Got it all working this morning, Beechams had run out last night so brain had gone into standby mode The solution was to put crossdomain.xml in the root SharePoint web application (with SharePoint Designer) where as I was mistakenly putting it in a site collection root which isn't mapped as the root on the URL.

Thanks for your help in getting this resolved Jamie.
