Event.COMPLETE not working when domain missing "www"

[fantasio]

hi there,

i have the following problem:
i have a swf which is located at
-> http://www.domain.com/main.swf

it loads an external file from
-> http://www.domain.com/external.swf

everything works
however if i load the main file from
->http://domain.com/main.swf

the external file gets loaded (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS fires)
but Event.COMPLETE does not.

Is this something that only the site admin can fix or a flash security thing?

thanks

You need to listen for all the other errors and events that the loader can throw to determine what the fault is. It's probably a security thing since www.domain.com and domain.com are different domains.

well it says:
SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation:: LoaderInfo.content: http://domain.com/sites/default/files/flash/main.swf cannot access http://www.domain.com/sites/default/...h/external.swf. This may be worked around by calling Security.allowDomain.
at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get content()
at Main/onCompleteHandler()


so i guess i should be using Security.allowDomain
however is there another way on the server side perhaps?

You may be able to create a crossdomain.xml file on your server granting access to *.domain.com

ok, i checked.
i had Security.allowDomain("*.domain.com") in my external swf.
which did not work...
i changed it to Security.allowDomain("http://www.domain.com","http://domain.com")
now it works.
