I have a swf that is run from C:/ in the browser instead of a server (long story) and that swf loads a video that it located at ../../videos/video in relation to that swf.
Problem is, When I run it in Flex, everything is cool. Running locally, it can't find the file (not a security error) and is throwing a connectionError.
Any ideas?
NOTE: This seems to be a Windows specific problem, it's running on my mac with the same security settings just fine.
Flex Builder has a file that it adds all of your bin directories to in order to allow the debug player to get around the local security restrictions.
Here's a blog post on the subject.
Essentially Flexbuilder tells Flash that it should trust the bin folder... if you do a search on your development machine for the file flexbuilder_plugin.cfg, you should find it in a folder called FlashPlayerTrust in roughly the same area you normally find SharedObject files. If you open this file in a text editor, you should see pretty much every path to every bin folder for every flex project you have ever worked on. And suddenly everything gets so much clearer.
You can do as fenomas suggests and add any directory to your trusted list. You can also follow the advice from the above blog post.
So I created a new file and placed it next to this flexbuilder_plugin.cfg file, and called it MyProggy.cfg. Flash is configured to read in all files in this folder and parse all paths out of it, and any applications run from these paths will be considered "localTrusted" and will act as they would when run from Flexbuilder. Inside this text file I put one line: "c:\program files\my proggy" and saved it. I then had to restart Firefox for the change to take effect. I also had added a text label to my application and bound the text property to {Security.sandboxType}.
I would suggest getting HTTPFOX for Firefox which is a sniffer. Then you can see what is failing. In my own search I found that FLV's are always relative to the SWF, even when loaded on the WEB. Every asset that I have loaded is relative to the index.html file except for FLV's which always remain relative to the SWF. Being able to watch the data flowing, or attempting to flow to your site is invaluable.
This also explains why some people have no issue loading thing locally but then run into problems on the web. If their html file that is loading the swf is in a different location than the swf then every asset other than FLV's have a different relative path when viewed online then they do when viewed locally.

I have a bunch of images in a hidden gallery, only shown when a user clicks on a certain button.
On the development server, everything is fine, no errors or issues, but when I deploy my website and open the gallery the images don't show and throw a 404 error in the console (I included the required props).
When I replace the <Image/> component with <img>, everything is fine on the development server and live. Can anyone please help? I searched a lot and I didn't find anything like this issue.
My solution:
I had the same issue and solved it by renaming the image file names.
How the issue arose:
I had renamed the images, only changing uppercase to lowercase letters. This resulted in the files being wrongly named in my github repository. After a rename with new characters, the files were correctly updated on github.
Image Optimization using Next.js' default loader is not compatible with next export.
Possible solutions:
Use next start, which starts the Image Optimization API.
Use Vercel to deploy, which supports Image Optimization.
Configure a third-party loader in next.config.js.
That means: Only assets that are in the public directory at build time will be served by Next.js. Files added at runtime won't be available
To solve this problem. I just used next-optimized-images for static image and next/image for images from the cloud.
Kindly read this article for more understanding: https://dev.to/jameswallis/next-image-and-next-optimized-images-a-brief-comparison-4c4i
Create a folder on root call it 'static' which is bassically /static/imagename.png
Set the source to the image like so;
<img src="/static/imagename.png" />
This should load the static image in file both in dev environment and build file.
I know it's been asked and I have read the posts and Googled this all day. Still nowhere near something that works. Using an .aspx page, I need to upload a .pdf file to a specific website. I'm doing development using VS2017 and VB.Net. The app will run on different websites. It needs to upload client files to a specific different website and path. Also, the file name of the uploaded file will not be the same as the local source file. Creating the new name is no problem.
Let's say a local file must be uploaded to a website at https://www.appfileserver.co.za/pdfdocs, but I'm on https://www.myownsite.com. So, when using FileUpload1.SaveAs(rootedpath) the path that goes in there must be the rooted path to the target. What would the rooted path look like for the example I provided?
FYI, I know the IP addresses, http paths and anything else I need to know because I control those sites. It would be great to do an FTP upload. I have done this many times from desktop apps. Unfortunately I'd need the full path to the local file. It seems there is no way a web page is allowed to get that full path, so FTP upload is out - or is there a way?
After battling for two days trying to FTP upload from website to website (which is not possible because server firewalls block this), I finally solved it. The solution was a simple one. I deployed the upload .aspx file on the target server then embedded that in an iframe on the client machine apps. The files are then uploaded one time to the right place. Simple and 100% effective. Hopefully somebody see's this and understands it - so as to avoid the troubles I had.
I am in the process of adding a Content Security Policy for a laravel application. While downloading external css and font styles to the local assets I have run into some odd template behavior.
I wanted to test that the paths to the newly downloaded libraries were correct, but when I change the name of files I downloaded and refresh, even with the browser cache disabled, it is still referencing the old location successfully. If you try to access the file in the old location directly by file path it fails (because it no longer exists).
Even more strangely, if I pull the code down to another computer and run it (I have not added the new libraries to git yet), the page still seems to think it correctly loaded that resource.
I tried clearing the following directories:
storage/framework/cache
storage/framework/sessions
storage/framework/views
and running the code again - on multiple computers, and it still reports that it is loading these files that are no longer there?
Does Laravel or commonly used front end frameworks with it store compiled templates somewhere else? I am completely perplexed...
I'm having some trouble with an Umbraco website. Some times some Media files disappear.
The nodes still exist but the actual 'physical' file is gone.
Also the folder the media file was in doesn't exist anymore.
The users of the CMS are unable to log in on the server, so they couldn't accidentally delete the files them self. Only me and my colleagues have access (and we wouldn't log in to a server unless it's necessary)
I just checked the disk space, and there are several gigs on all disk available.
We did a migration of the media folder some time ago, so we thought it might have something to do with it. We have analysed the file system backup of the whole Media folder and those items are not there as well so we can exclude the possibility of a problem on the filesystem.
The version we are using is: Umbraco v 4.7.1.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4868.25172)
If you clone content nodes with media files attached using an Upload property type, both nodes will point to the same media element. If you replace or remove the file on one node, it will remove the physical file. The original node will still have the reference to the removed file. This makes it appears as if a ghost is deleting images, but its Umbraco 4 deleting the file when you publish your change.
The best way to solve this is to convert your property from type Upload to type Media Picker.
I had this problem in sites around umbraco v4.5. I never run into this issue on Umbraco 6 and 7. But, on those systems, I use the media picker instead of upload for all media-like elements.
There are no issues I know of with Umbraco 4.7.x deleting its own media. It is possible to do it remotely, but that would delete the nodes as well as the physical files.
The only cause is the one which seems most unlikely, and that is someone has accidentally deleted them. I find this occasionally happens when deploys are done. Someone replaces the media folder with the one from the staging environment.
I have also seen an issue if files are copied across an RDP connection, the files being copied are not copied completely and in the process some actually disappear from the target folder.
But either way, I would check your internal processes, maybe move the media folder to a virtual directory to avoid the chances of it being overwritten.
There is one case in which media files might be deleted, and that is when you are using the Upload datatype on a document type.
What happened before on a system that I managed was that editors copied a page that included an image previously uploaded, but never updated the image, leaving the same path as the value for the Upload field.
In this scenario, you would have 2 published pages that have a field with the same path.
Now, if one editor decides to delete the page, the media file is also deleted.
This would leave the copied page with a broken link to the image and a missing image.
I am using Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial version.
I created one abc.mxml application which is working fine in the IDE. Now, I want to use the generated abc.swf in one of my application so I copied
abc.swf
abc.html
and related .js and .css files
to some other location in the file system. After that when I tried to launch the abc.html in the browser, nothing was appearing in the browser.
After that I copied the whole flex project at some other location and tried to launch the same abc.html file. Even that was also not working.
I don't know what's the problem.

My money is on sandbox security issue. Either keep the files under bin-debug to prevent it or add your folder and flash file to be allowed in the Flash Security Settings.
This is cross-site scripting situation, read this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14213.html.
You launch abc.html (which consist adc.swf) from one domain ("file:///c: ..."), but refers for data from another (is there you red5 installed, probably localhost).
Create cossdomain.xml in the root directory in ther server (red5).
