I don’t know why the flash client inside a web app is not working when I run it from another place of the network and it gets this error

Security error[SecurityErrorEvent type=”securityError” bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=”Error #2048″]

It do work when I run it from the server where the policy server is.

@Luis L
the socket server only handles the policy file request and closes the connection immediately afterwards. it is not a multiuser socket server. sorry, can’t tell you what you’re doing wrong…

Nice!! but I want to know if I need another socket server besides the policy server to communicate with the client. And I have some problems while I tried to write the socket buffer to send a response to the client in the server , I guess it throws an exception but theres nothing sent….I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
(The server read what the client SWF send perfectly)

I have made a modified version to read a crossdomain.xml and deliver it to Port 843.
I will send it to you, in case you like to pulish it.

sorry, the policyserver wasn’t running anymore, i restarted it, the example should work again!

@Roberto Aguilar
if you want to write an ftp client it’s probably better to use a proxy, the socket server only provides a solution for connecting servers that are under your control. however it has the advantage of not creating a bottleneck as a proxy server would be. as far as i know there’s no way around the policy mechansim.

@markus
not sure i understand the question… you need to reply with a valid policy xml string. the policyserver can be on the same host but obviously on a different port number. if you want it on the same port you’l have to integrate the programming into your application, which is not very flexible…

@cksachdev
i guess it would be possible to connect to localhost, just like any other server on the net. havent tried it though…

When I click on the example link above, I get the form but pressing the connect button does nothing. How come?

I have an xmlsocket connecting (on port 6000) to a Java server. I get the from Flash but when I respond with:
String policy_response = “”; nothing happens.
I know it tries port 843 and then the port you’re trying to connect to….is there any difference where you have the policy file?
I’d rather have it on the same server (port 6000) as the rest of the app.
Is there anything wrong with my xml here or could the problem be somewhere else?

Big thanks in advance!

Im looking forward to deploy an ftp client (request from the boss) in flex obviously (running on the web), but im requested to be able to connect to any ftp server. The million dollar question, is there any work around that dumb security policy of flash?

I was thinking in something like a proxy?, lets say connect to mydomain.com and this will connect me to myotherdomain.com does it make any sense?
