RSS Reader works locally but not on server

1

Hey everyone…

Found this great little .fla online that will allow me to read a RSS Feed.

The .swf works perfectly locally, but once i upload it to the server it doesn’t.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry, looked into it… tested it both on my local server and on several hosts and its not working.

Cant find the bug either :m:

But it works locally on your PC right? Not the local server…the local PC?

Oh well, maybe someone else can help us out. Such a nice little tool too.

Thanks for your time!

Figured it out. In case anyone ever needs this again.

Follow this link, it explains that due to security reasons introduced in Flash Player 6.4 something and later, loading from within a movie to another domain is not allowed.

So basically you download the proxy.php in my case, pass the url to it that you would put in your movie, change the AS to reflect the name of the proxy file. Make sure you use just the name, not “http://www.yada.com/proxy.php”

I’m going to leave a few keywords in here in case there is a search. Works locally but not on Server. XML or RSS feed.
