Question

I am using a Socket (not xmlSocket) connection between flex applications and the server pushing messages.

Now, when I connect from the local machine to the server everything is working file and running, connection is succesful and I get data back and forth.

When I upload the application (flex) to the server and run it from there, I get a security sandBox violation message.

Note:
1. I do have a crossdomain file with * wildcard both on port and on domain.
2. I created a Securiy.allowDomain(“*”) as well.

Another thing.
I also created another listener on that same server, listening to connections for port 843 (default) and this service just waited for a connection send policy file to the client and that’s it.

That did not solve the problem as well…

That’s next?
What should I do to fix the problem?

Appreciate your help.

Answer 1

The fix for this issue was a dedicated policy file serving server.
I implemented a socket listening to the dedicated port where flex is looking for policy file, once I got a connection and a request I answered right back with the appropriate policy file.

This solved the problem for all users and is working very well for me.

Thanks
