Error in using Google geo-coding API

[sangramp@cybage.com]

I am creating a application which takes address from user and want to know the Longitude/latitude of addressed location. I am using Google Geocoding API to get the details. It works perfectly in FlashLite 2.1 when executed in authoring environment and i get the XML with geodata.

But when I run the application on Nokia 5800, it gives error and XML is loaded with success being false. Has anyone used Google geocoding and faced the same problem?

Hi sangramp@cybage.com,
I worked with these APIs in one of my sample for Flash Lite 4 and your issue seems to be a security sandbox issue :
1- Make sure your publish settings are "Access Network Only" .
2- Try running the content from trusted folder i.e 'E:\others\trusted\mycontent.swf"
If it doesnt help then please, let us know.

Thanks Saji.
I already had published the file for "Access Network Only". But I did not feel it is necessary to put the file under trusted folder. Its working fine when running from trusted folder but I don't understand why is so. I am not using both localhost and network connections and neither any platform services.
By the way, thanks otherwise I won't have tried that way :-)

Hi sangramp,tt
Your most welcome

Its working fine when running from trusted folder but I don't understand why is so

Yeah thats why i say trusted folder is a magic folder and it avoid security sandbox issues . Try investigating yourself what is the actual reason behind its fail by experimenting from simple to complex . But i think u r almost done because the private folder (i.e !:\private\<your_stub_UID>\here.swf) of Flash Lite stub also acts as a trusted folder for your swf and it can also save u from such issues. Just dont forget to add NetworkServices Capabilty to your compiled stub by editing mmp file if compiling from Carbide C++. So, for testing u can use trusted folder and for distribution u can use private folder. Hope it helps.
