Configuring flowplayer in an adobe air html app Created Jul 9, 2009

After some further poking around, I've found that the error is caused by setting the current SecurityDomain (line loaderContext.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
in PluginLoader). This is in turn done since the call to URLUtil.localDomain returns false.

The reason for localDomain returning false is that AIR prepends local path references with the app: URI scheme. Therefore I've been able to get FP working with AIR by adding the following check to URLUtil.localDomain:

if (swfUrl.indexOf("app:") == 0) return true;

I've validated this fix locally and it's worked great for me.

What are the chances of getting this patch into the next Flowplayer release?

Many thanks

gowiththeflow were to add this line i am not gettin if (swfUrl.indexOf("app:") == 0) return true;
I m to trying Configuring flowplayer in an adobe air app wen i gave the relative path i m gettin the same security error but wen i m giving absolute path it is running perfectly example (file:///C:/abc/flowplayer/swf) but i want relative path in my code.
Should i have 2 edit flowplayer.swf file
Can we do anything with security sandbox of adobe air
Please help me out ...PLease

Hi

What I did was check out the Flowplayer project source code, and make the change in the URLUtil file as described above.

Once the change is made, you would need to rebuild the project using ant, which would give you your very own flowplayer swf.

Obviously this isn't the same as the FP team would make this change (or a different one). You should also be mindful of licensing issues if you consider going down this route. I believe FP is licensed under GPL, which would presumably mean that your Air app would have to conform to a similar licence.

I didn't get anywhere with air security sandbox stuff. I don't believe that's the issue here.

Hope this is useful. FWIW I decided not to use FP for my air project in the end, opting instead to use adobe APIs directly.

Thnx for quick reply ....
