Image loading with security sandbox fun.
Posted By Thaylin on July 25, 2008
Just a note in case anyone runs into this.
Loading an image from an external domain without a crossdomain.xml file can be tricky. typically I want to just grab the content of the loader and use it to be referenced for whatever. But in this case, when loading from an external domain that doesn’t have a crossdomain.xml file you don’t have the ability to do this. I ran into this today, as I have a loader that loads content like swfs and images from a domain that isn’t flash friendly. I found the easiest way to run a check on what you loaded is to just check the url in the loader.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | if(myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.url.lastIndexOf("swf")==-1) { trace("This is an image") }else{ trace("This is a swf and I can access the movie clips within.") } |
ok bye
O.o
I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
