In order to rule out firewall issues try telnetting the server and see if you can connect.
Open a command prompt and type:
Code: Select all
telnet <server-address> <server-port>
server-address should be the public address of your server. Let me know if it works.
Cheers

Are you running your application in the browser or in the standalone Flash Player?

I'm running the SWF that my Flash CS6 exports when running the FLA.file.
So, no browser involved.

Running the SWF directly will launch the standalone FlashPlayer, which in turn has a security mechanism that will prevent the network to be used.
Also it will do this without notice for the user!
This is known problem that Adobe has never fixed. They rely on the developer to understand from the error they get that they need to configure the "trusted locations" in their Flash Player to be able to access the network.
Depending on which OS you use you will have to right click in the Flash Player, click on Global Settings and from there you should find something like "Developer Settings" where you can specify the trusted files. In other words you will have to manually tell the player that you trust the SWF file and thus allow network access.
If you don't wanna go through all that, just open the SWF in the browser

Thanks! That solved it. I really would have wished that this information was in the "behind a router" sticky thread.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but now it works by editing the global settings as described above.
However, it does not work by default in any browser apart from Internet Explorer. I still get this sandbox security error.
Is there any way to avoid this?

What is the port number contained in the error?

9339.
Telnetting has been done successfully to that port.

I am sorry I am not follow what the problem is.
If you want, send me your server address in a private message and I will test from remote. This way I can see if the problem is reproducible or if it's something else.
thanks

it's a bit difficult to find the inbox at this forum, so I'll just paste what you wrote:
Hi,
I don't see anything wrong. The client connects and there is no error.
I've tried the SimpleConnect example in the Examples/AS2 folder and the AvatarChar in AS3/
I have no idea what might be going on on your side.

If you scroll down on the link over (already been posted earlier in this tread), you will find the Actionscript file we are using to test the connection.
Do you see any problem with it that may cause this to happen?

Yes I do.
You create the class, add the event listeners and then send a login request... without connecting first?
Code: Select all
var smartFox:SmartFoxClient = new SmartFoxClient(true)
smartFox.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, sandboxHandler)
smartFox.addEventListener(SFSEvent.onConnection, onConnectionHandler)
smartFox.connect(ip_text.text, int(port_text.text))
smartFox.addEventListener(SFSEvent.onLogin, onLoginHandler)
smartFox.addEventListener(SFSEvent.onRoomListUpdate, onRoomListUpdateHandler)
smartFox.login(zone_text.text, name_text.text, "")
First you need to call
connect(...), handle the connection event,
then send the login request.
Please refer to the examples provided in your SFS installation (under the Examples/ folder) if you have any doubts about this.
hope it helps.
