SimpleConnect Not Working?

mrTip · Post by **mrTip** » 02 May 2006, 20:19

Hello,

Yes; I have another question. My SimpleConnect AS is as follows:

import it.gotoandplay.smartfoxserver.*

/*
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*	[ Advanced Chat ] version 1.1.0
*	a SmartFoxServer sample application
*
*	www.smartfoxserver.com
*	(c) 2004 gotoAndPlay()
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
stop()

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Server configuration
//
// ip 	= IP address of the server, if the server is running
// 		  locally use 127.0.0.1
// port	= default value is 9339
//----------------------------------------------------------
var ip:String 		= "70.60.138.26"
var port:Number 	= 9339
var zone:String 	= "simpleChat"

var smartfox:SmartFoxClient = new SmartFoxClient()
smartfox.onConnection = handleConnection
smartfox.debug = true

// Connect to the server
smartfox.connect(ip, port)


//----------------------------------------------------------
// Handle connection response from server
//----------------------------------------------------------
function handleConnection(success)
{
	if (success)
	{
		status_txt.text = "Connection succesfull!"
	}
	else
	{
		status_txt.text = "Can't connect!"
	}
}

I can get into my admin tool AND TheoChat, but this simpleConnect doesn't work. It's very weird, because when I test the simpleConnect file in Flash, it works, but when it's on the Internet, it doesn't connect. Yes, I do have crossdomain.xml file and it is enabled in my config file.

[edit] when i insert the "System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://70.60.138.26:9339")" line into my movie, it just says "connecting" and shoots out no error or anything

whenever i test the movie in flash mx 2004, it gives me this output as well:

Code: Select all

[Sending]: <msg t='sys'><body action='verChk' r='0'><ver v='102' /></body></msg>

[Received]: <cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="9339" /></cross-domain-policy>
[Received]: <msg t="sys"><body action="apiOK" r="0" /></msg>

im still searching the docs for answers but havent found one yet

any ideas? thanks in advanced

It works perfectly for me... I've checked connection to your IP address.
Do you use flash player 8? or 7?

Wow, it works for you?

Flash Player 8... I use MX 2004 Professional for developing flash

http://thedailyneopets.com/SFS_PRO_1.4. ... onnect.swf thats what im trying to get to work =]

I had this same issue. Simple and Advanced chat work inside the Flash MX 04 runtime environment but the SWF file I publish to the website cannot connect.

I changed the raw IP to my domain and all is well. For example:

var ip:String = "www.mydomain.com"
var port:Number = 9339
var zone:String = "simpleChat"

Hope that helps.

This is the problem:

- you're connecting to 70.60.138.26

the flash player will search for the crossdomain file at:
http://70.60.138.26/crossdomain.xml

but the file is not there, so it doesn't work

Since the server can automatically send the policy file, please use that feature instead. Check this article

Hello!

Stmulligan's method works (it will now establish a successful connection), but I want to get things working the right way, so I want to attempt it Lapo's way.

...please use that feature instead.

What feature are you talking about exactly? Using System.security.loadPolicyFile? I tried putting in 'System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://70.60.138.26:9339")' in the flash movie before and it won't establish a connection.

Thanks so much for your paitence (I'm a newbie) and time I truly do appreciate it.

you also have to set inside the configuration xml file the
<AutoSendPolicyFile> tag to TRUE

mrTip · Post by **mrTip** » 05 May 2006, 21:05

Yes, that has been set to 'true' the whole time.

hello,

I am running into this problem as well. I can only connect if I am running the file within flash itself... when i open it in a browser i get the warning message and i can not connect.

First off, when i insert into the flash project the line "System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://70.60.138.26:9339")"

I get a flash action script error:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer={ code }, frame=9:Line 55: There is no method with the name 'loadPolicyFile'.
System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://192.168.0.104:9339");

Am I missing something here?

Also, I have 2 computers at home... one is a linux web server that is hosting the .swf files... the second is my local computer that hosts the server (192.168.1.104).

thanks

I get a flash action script error:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer={ code }, frame=9:Line 55: There is no method with the name 'loadPolicyFile'.
System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://192.168.0.104:9339");

Unfortunately this is a problem with Flash (MX 2004) and we can't do nothing about it.
FMX 2004 had a bug where the System.security would not work because of a missing file in the installation.
I know that many people have solved the problem by completely uninstalling Flash and re-installing it again.

Also, it seems that Flash 8 is not affected by that bug

hope it helps
