Hi all, I am confused by ActionScript 3’s loadPolicyFile function. It returns void, so how can I tell whether the request was successful?
Why do I care? I want to first request the policy file on the default port 843, then try other ports eventually landing on port 80. This is how Flash Media Server does it. I want to mimic that behavior. I need to know if a call to loadPolicyFile fails so I know to try the next port in the sequence.
Also, assuming the request for a policy file successfully retrieved the policy file, how do I know whether it granted access to the port I want to open? I presume I could just try to open the port and look for a security exception of some sort, but I am a noobie AS3 programmer and I have no idea how to trap such an exception.
All comments are welcome!
