Updated: crossdomain.xml fixes amfphp for april flash player release
This updated crossdomain.xml example fixes all of the issues that people were having with the last post that I had. Please update your server with the following file. Remember that you need to remove any spaces as this has to be well formated xml! Make sure that you place the file in your web root directory of the top level domain of the site. This is commonly the public_html or www directory in the server so that you can access the file at www.yourdomain.com/crossdomain.xml
If you do not add this file you will get a Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation:
Which will toss an error that looks something like this out of the player.
Again the purpose of a crossdomain.xml file is to allow external domains to access your content. What has changed in the new release is that we can not change the header anymore even if its on the same domain name. This means that you need to add a crossdomain file even if you are not accessing your amfphp installation from an external domain name. More information on policy files!
Preparing for the Flash Player 9 April 2008 Security Update
Thanks, Wade.
I (we) really do appreciate your taking on this responsibility.
Hey, anyway to contact you by mail ?
Please use mine…
After doing more tests, this does seem to be the correct player as I cannot add custom headers to other-domain calls.
However, from my testing, no changes will need to be made to any crossdomain.xml files and no crossdomain.xml files will need to be added where they did not exist previously. If you get different results please let me know.
I have a problem… I don’t write in root directory but only in sub directory… Flash find always file in root also if i indicate the file is in another directory
Sigh…
Solution?
