[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]To load the server name from an XML file:[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif][SIZE=2]1[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]In your application’s FLA file, click the SimpleConnect component and open the Property Inspector.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif][SIZE=2]**
2**[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]In the Application Directory box, enter the following string:[/SIZE][/FONT]fromXML/appName[/appinstanceName/][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]The"fromXML" string replaces the “rtmp:/[/servername]/” string.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif][SIZE=2]3[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]In the directory that contains the SWF file for your application, create a file called settings.xml. This XML file has the following format:[/SIZE][/FONT]<appSetting><serverName>myServerName</serverName></appSettings>[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]where myServerName is an IP address or domain name, such as flashcom.mydomain.com or 10.60.0.124.
Do not specify RTMP or RTMPT here, only the address of the server to connect to (SimpleConnect will use RTMP and try RTMPT if needed).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]If you leave ServerName blank, SimpleConnect uses the relative path rtmp:/appName/[appinstanceName/] to connect. For more information on relative paths, see the topic “Designing for portability across servers” in the “Application Development Tips and Tricks” chapter of Developing Communication Applications Help.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2]Once the XML file is set up, if your server name changes, simply edit the settings.xml file. No changes to the application’s FLA or SWF files are needed.[/SIZE][/FONT]
First time poster here and looking for some guidance. The above text lifted from adobe live docs seems simple enough but wont play ball for me.
Im editing as
fromXML/test[/test66/]
and
<appSetting><serverName>81.xxx.xx.226</serverName></appSettings>
Why could this be failing for me?
many thx+great forum
