flash lite 3.0 security and trusted folder

[kinski76]

Hi

Wondered/hope someone can help me here.

I am trying to get a flashlite app to be able to access files locally from the device.

However, no matter what I try this fails.

The device i am using is a n95 and has FL 8,1,55,0 installed on it.

I have read about the security issues and have made sure that i have created a folder called trusted in the others directory on the phones memory.

So the path is:
Nokia N95\Phone memory\Data\Others\trusted (this is path copy and pasted from pc file explorer as a note)

This I am led to believe allows both local PLUS network access (nb for now I just want local access).

I have tried setting the local playback security settings on export to both options available. None seem to work.

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong here?

regards

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong here?

In your whole discussion, u didnt mention that what kind of LOCAL ACCESS u r trying? loadMovie ?? loadVariables? where the files are placed which u r accessing locally?? are u trying in standalone flash player or widget??

Hi

I am trying in first instance to load items locally.

The below example is form my apid bridge test:

function onPhoto(transactionID:Number, eventID:String, outParam:Object):Void{
imgSrc = outParam.ReturnValue.Src.toString();
imageDsp_mc.imgPath_txt.text = imgSrc;
imgLdr = new MovieClipLoader();
target = imageDsp_mc.container_mc;
imgLdr.loadClip(imgSrc, target);

//resize image to preview
imgListener.onLoadComplete = function(){
target.onEnterFrame = function(){
//trace(target._width);
while(target._width > 240){
target._xscale--;
target._yscale--;
}
delete this;
}
}



I have also done a test with a NON api bridge version that just tries to load an image out of same directory:

function loadPhoto():Void{
imgSrc = outParam.ReturnValue.Src.toString();
//imageDsp_mc.imgPath_txt.text = imgSrc;
imgLdr = new MovieClipLoader();
target = imageDsp_mc.container_mc;
imgLdr.loadClip("chrome32.gif", target);

//resize image to preview
imgListener.onLoadComplete = function(){
target.onEnterFrame = function(){
//trace(target._width);
while(target._width > 240){
target._xscale--;
target._yscale--;
}
delete this;
}
}

Nb. Ihave tried hardcoding numerous paths here also so

c:\Data\Images\Trusted\chrome32.gif

and other variants.

As anote I have also downloaded a number of example swfs form the web. Ones that load local xml etc. Again none of these work on the actual device.

I have tired both LOCAL ONLY AND NETWORK ACCES when exporting also.


This all stems to my API BRIDGE issue i think. As I had a problem accessing the token that gets created. I am assuming this again is a security issue. As the test WGZ that comes with api bridge works fine.

thanks in advance

And yes missed your last point. I am testing in standalone player for now as the base test case. Have tried widget and that fails also so want to get standalone working first.

An xml loading version aswell:


var headline_xml=new XML();
headline_xml.ignoreWhite=true;

headline_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
headline_text.text=this.firstChild.nodeName;
}else{
headline_text.text="Error loading XML"
}
}
headline_xml.load("test.xml")

---------------------------------------------------
<testBase>
<item id="1"> ddd </bike>
<item id="2"> sss </bike>
<item id="3"> fffff </bike>
</testBase>

again doesn't work. Have tried numerous paths. I hope im being stupid

I am not able to reproduce this problem on my side. Can u please do me a favor? Download this archive :
mytest.zip
Extract it, it contains 2 files i.e mytest.swf & myimage.jpg . Copy these 2 files to c:\\data\\others\\trusted & test it . If it doesnt work , then try another trusted path i.e e:\\others\\trusted. and let me know what the results are.

Hi

Firstly thanks for your continued help

However the bad news.....I have placed this in trusted dir on both phone memory and mem card and all i see with your test swf is the black container clip. No image.

I am almost at the stage of sobbing loudly.

UPDATE

I have managed to get access to another N95 and your swf is working on that! Progress at last...I will my swfs and see where i get. Although unnerving that the other doesnt work. I updated firmware etc last week on it so it should be up to date

thanks for your help

So, it is a specific phone issue and that is the reason i am not able to reproduce it. Hard to judge what is the exact reason behind it , may be ur phone needs a hard reset (MAY BE) & upgrading firmware is not a plus point in all cases.However, wish u luck to fix ur flash lite behavior.

BTW, i heard that Flash Lite 3.1 sis for N95 can be found by googling BUT REMEMBER ADOBE IS NOT PROVIDING THIS UPGRADE ANY MORE. Do it at ur own risk.
