[Flashcoders] Cross-domain Shared Objects
Hi All, I am building an app that allows the user to personalise as screensaver online. 1) User chooses some settings and these are saved to a shared object. 2) User downloads Flash screensaver (made with Screentime for Flash). 3) Screensaver runs and loads in the shared objects from above. 4) User sees personalised screensaver tunning!! Well, that is the theory. But it is looking like there is no way for the local screensaver file to access the shared object that was saved by the online SWF. I have come across the PDF file from Adobe ... http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fp8_security-related_apis.pdf and it says on page 14 ... There is no mechanism to access shared objects across sandbox boundaries. Has anyone tried to do something similar? Am I going to have to give up on shared objects and use a backend scripting language and database instead? :-( Shared objects was looking like such a neat solution. :-( Any thoughs welcome ...

Re: [Flashcoders] Cross-domain Shared Objects
Hi Everyone, Thanks for replying. I've been playing around with shared objects this afternoon and had 'some' success. What I've done is ... Created a very small SWF that just creates the shared object instance, and has two functions inside it. The first function writes the required data to the shared object and the second function reads the required data from the shared object. I then load this SWF in to my main online SWF using loadMovie, and when I want to store the data I call the first function inside the loaded SWF. This creates a shared object on the computer in the folder path the mirrors the location and filename of the small SWF (not the main SWF). Finally, in my local screensaver EXE/SWF I load the small SWF in from the online location using loadMovie again (requires Internet access) and call the second function that read the data back. Because this is the exact same file that wrote it in the first place it finds the shared object. I have used allowDomain in a few places just to make sure. I will try removing some of these and see what happens. It the moment it seems to work. I have created a screensaver using SWF Studio 3.2 and it is reading in data that was created by my online app!! Still much testing to be done though.

[Flashcoders] Bitmap Class and FileReference.download
Hi All, I am doing some research for an upcoming project ... With the new Bitmap Class and FileReference.download functionality in Flash 8, is it possible to create a drawing app that can grab what the user has drawn (using the Bitmap Class) and then download it to a folder on a webserver as a JPEG (using the FileReference.download method)? Or can I only sample every colour value (using getPixel) and then send a string of these values up to a script (such as PHP) on the server that then creates a JPEG on the fly (using the GD Graphics Library)?

[Flashcoders] LoaderClass in Flash 8
Hi All, I am loading in a series of SWFs in to movieclips, as quickly as possible, and I need to know when they are all loaded. I am publishing as Flash 8. Is it best to use the built-in movieClipLoader class or something like Bokel's loaderClass. Is his class redundant these days? I've checked the FlashCoders archive and found a thread from Dec04-Jan05 titled 'Movieclip Loader Class vs Bokel's Loader Class'. And people seemed to prefer Ralf's version. Does anyone know if there is an AS2 version of his class? Any advice would be helpful. Many thanks, Adrian Parr ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
