Hi all,

Has anyone got SSL security to work with Flash?

THE PROBLEM
I'm having huge problems trying to guarantee that we can make a Flash project SSL-secure...

WHAT WE NEED TO DO
I need to be able to securely pass variables (including credit card information) backwards and forward to both a Flash movie in a browser and an external .exe. Is this possible?

We have been doing tests and the variable-passing works 100% in all tests - except when we put the movies onto an SSL-enabled server!

MORE INFO
I've created a test '.swf' that uses a 'LoadVariable' statement to POST to an ASP file, which I am referencing as per the instructions in the manual (ie. with an absolute file name using the 'https://' prefix).

This ASP file access a database, then returns Variables which I am putting into a layer in Flash. All of the Flash code is rock-solid: it works fine until I put SSL into the bargain.

I put the .swf and .asp files into the same folder on the SSL server - so the .swf is referencing a file on the same domain as itself (I've read that there could be a problem with having the .swf asking for a file that isn't in the same domain).


I'd love to hear from anyone who has had problems like this - we need to give the client a yay or nay answer very soon...
