NetConnection

[joshstrike]

Hey...does anyone know the answer to this?

in the PHPAccess class:
this.rs = new NetConnection();

in the PHPCall class:
phpAccessInstance.rs.addEventListener(NetStatusEve nt.NET_STATUS,this.gotStatus,false,0,true);
phpAccessInstance.rs.call.apply(this, dataArray);

After the call is made, the NET_STATUS event works perfectly in a local sandbox, but doesn't work at all when trying it online in a browser. Is there some kind of security protocol about this? Since the listener is pointed to a function in the PHPCall class, and the PHPCall class is the owner of the call() function thanks to the apply(this,[]), why wouldn't it trigger the NetStatusEvent?

Thanks!
Josh

Can't anybody think of a reason that a NetStatusEvent would dispatch a NetConnection.Status.Failed in the local sandbox, running against a server-side script, but not dispatch the same error when running in a browser?
For the moment I've been forced to use a timer to see if the result came back or failed -- this is not optimal, at all, since it creates a potential for "thread races" of a kind.
The point of all this is to check if an AMFPHP call failed and give the user time to reconnect before repeating the call. This is a nice new behavior I'm building into my PHPRemoting package... at http://www.joshstrike.com/strike_remoting.zip
which in effect will make it stable enough to use for building multiplayer games, etc. ...

are you trying to access anything across domains?

[joshstrike]

Yeah, the call may or may not be going across domains (depending on if it's accessed through the www subdomain)...but I have allowDomain set for all possibilities. The weird thing is that the connection works fine, but the errors don't dispatch as they should.

crossdomain.xml file maybe needed or double check your sandbox and make sure network only is set not localdisk. Plus with flash player 9,0,115,0 there is some new things you may want to set in your crossdomain.xml file like "site-control permitted-cross-domain-policie"

Thanks again, Josh. This was part of the effort to get the my remoting package to retry on failure. I'm just using a timer now, and it's working pretty well...it wasn't the networking in the embed or the crossdomain, though, those were both solid...if you want to try for yourself, just check out the NetConnection.Status.Failed switch in the NetStatusEvent listener in PHPCall... if you can make it trigger that event remotely, upon failure of a call, let me know...my fear is that it has to do with the way I make the NetConnection.call on the PHPAccess NetConnection through an .apply command in PHPCall. I think it thinks its client is PHPAccess, not PHPCall, and that probably means the whole structure of the package would have to be altered...
