POFlash Crossdomain.xml Problems
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to load Gravatars into Flash. Luckily, they provided a crossdomain.xml file at <code>http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/crossdomain.xml</code></p> <p>My code:</p> <pre><code>Security.loadPolicyFile("http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/crossdomain.xml"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(new URLRequest("http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/" + gravatar + "?s=35&d=identicon")); </code></pre> <p>But I'm still getting this error: </p> <blockquote> <p>SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: LoaderInfo.content: [...] cannot access <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/97fbce86a5bbc520450168603172cd9e?s=35&d=identicon" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/97fbce86a5bbc520450168603172cd9e?s=35&d=identicon</a>. No policy files granted access.<br> at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get content()<br> at PiecePlayerSmall/onLoadComplete()</p> </blockquote> <p>I also monitored the traffic the Flash file is sending. It's requesting:</p> <ul> <li>My domain's crossdomain.xml file</li> <li>"<a href="http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/crossdomain.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/crossdomain.xml</a>"</li> <li>"<a href="http://en.gravatar.com/crossdomain.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.gravatar.com/crossdomain.xml</a>"</li> <li>"<a href="http://en.gravatar.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.gravatar.com/</a>"</li> <li>then, <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/97fbce86a5bbc520450168603172cd9e?s=35&d=identicon" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/97fbce86a5bbc520450168603172cd9e?s=35&d=identicon</a></li> </ul> <p>Any suggestions for getting this to work and reducing the number of requests to gravatar.com.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> The following code works, thanks to Jacob</p> <pre><code>Security.loadPolicyFile("http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/crossdomain.xml"); var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); context.checkPolicyFile = true; context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "http://en.gravatar.com/avatar/" + gravatar + "?s=35&d=identicon"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(request, context); this.addChild(loader); </code></pre> <p>Note: Do not try to access the content directly in the Event.COMPLETE</p>
