the new forums

[Flash Gordon]

What do you think about the new forum layout?

[Cota]

umm...did I miss something..what new forum layout?

[Flash Gordon]

There are the navigation boxes at the top. Those are kind of neat, but sometimes I don't get to choose the page numbers (like at the bottom and tops of threads) that i want to go to and on long threads. I have to keep going through drop boxes to find the last post. That part I find a little annoying. :(

Make it is just a user setting?

[Cota]

You made the same mistake I did some time ago. You're in hybrid mode.

[tg]

looks like it always has.... dont know what you on about there buddy.

[Cota]

He's in hybrid mode...I did same thing...

[Flash Gordon]

Gotcha!

Should I (or you) delete this thread?

[Cota]

No..mine is still around for my embarrassment..so shall yours..

[Flash Gordon]

Doh!

Maybe headshotz will come back and post something: take the heat off me. :D

[Headshotz]

So was walking through a crowd of people when all of a sudden my pants fell down.

I went to pull them back up but the evil duracell bunny from my dreams appeared and tied my hands behind my back.

Then the crowd of people took me to a crocodile pond and threw me in.

Luckily the pond was in the middle of the Bermuda triangle so I appeared in Germany where no other but Alfred the buttler from guns and roses hands me the largest frozen majestrate I have seen in my life.

So I ditched Germany and started crowdsurfing with the pope at the annual jellybean convention.

All that time without my pants.

Now I never wear pants.

You're a life saver! :D

>=D >> Snow is fun to burn things withi'm now offically scared of you :D

listen, you nice and gently kids, i'm trying to display a swf for my sig but she don't work; i'm simply reading an RSS feed from a website and displaying it with a couple of text fields. the swf is on my friends server and the rss is from dictionary.com: que pasa? cross-domain issue?

[Flash Gordon]

cross domain my guess. However, I was at one time able to pull php scripts from my site, by i "allowed" those scripts.

[sophistikat]

where did you 'allowed them' from flash or php? in flash i am allowed to access that RSS feed without any extra AS but as my sig... she don't work as you can see.

[Flash Gordon]

I shimed it in.

swf1 and script.php on same server.
swf2. shims swf1

[sophistikat]

this cross domain is bull:eek:! here's a good article from adobe

and to anyone who comes across this; here's the solution(s)
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16520

Server-side proxy method
Requirements: You must be able to upload and run a server-side script on a server in the same domain as the Flash movie.
In this method, the Flash movie accesses the script, which loads the information, retrieves it, and returns the information back to the Flash movie.
This method is best if the server hosting the data is not under your control (for example, a public XML feed).

Shim SWF method
Requirements: You must be able to upload a SWF to the server hosting the data source.
The method loads a "Shim SWF", hosted in the same domain as the data source. The shim loads the information, and the information is passed from the shim SWF to the main SWF.
This method works well if the server hosting the data is under your control.

[Flash Gordon]

you might be able to do a "work around"

For instance, PHP fetchs the page using a fsocketopen() and outputs that to a new xml file on your server. From there you just load it into the swf on your server and you don't even need to shim. Just System.allow("http:site.com") stuff.
