Flex app only runs on localhost

Posted by portablecow on March 16, 2010 at 4:40pm

Hello,

I've got a Flex aggregator app that currently only works when running on localhost on my development server. If I try to run it on other networks it doesn't work. I've placed a crossdomain.xml file in my server root, but that doesn't help. The only other weird issue is that if I take my computer to another network it will run on my computer on different networks. Any ideas?

Thanks

Couple of possibilities

Here are some things I have run into writing a Flex app for Facebook (and Drupal on the back-end -- what else?)

  • try setting the cross-domain.xml to allow access from '*'. If that works you have a security settings issue.
  • is the app trying to make NetConnection or other socket calls? You may need a Flash Policy Server running. The phrase 'aggregator app' makes that sound likely to me. You can search developers.adobe.com for a nice sample server in Python.

Hope that helps!

John
