SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created a project using GMap API, then I added markers on GMap using marker.xml file. When I execute this project in

Flex Builder 3.0, it is working fine or if I open swf from bin directory then also it shows correct result.

But, the problem is when I copy this swf file to other location let's say on desktop, it throws <b>" SecurityError: Error #2148 "</b>

this error. Says that " %/GMapFlexComponent.swf cannot access local resource file: %//Desktop/markers.xml. Only local-

with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources. And swf shows google map with polygon but does

not show markers.

I also tried crossdomain.xml concept, but did not work.

I would appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks!

Hello there,

2148 can also be caused by Flash Security Settings. Please go here:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

Then give the flash player access to whatever hard drives and folders it needs.

Good Luck,

Javier

Hi,

Thanks to both Matt and Javier.

My problem is partially solved means when I open swf as standalone, it is showing correct results with markers and did not show any error.

But, the other part of the problem is related with Xcelsius 2008.

When I add this swf in Xcelsius 2008, it does not show markers and also does not reflect any error.

I think it requires markers.xml, but I don't know how to provide it to Xcelsius 2008.

Thanks!

Hi,

I would create a property in your component to pass in the url of "markers.xml". Make this property something that can be set by the user in Xcelsius like you would with other add-on component properties.

Then in your component load the xml from the url when it is passed to your component. A bit like this:

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("markers.xml");
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXmlLoadComplete);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onXmlIoError);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onXmlSecurityError);
xmlLoader.load(xmlRequest);

Matt
