I have fixed the Flashr.as and use “Ctrl+Enter” to test the FlashrSimpleSearch.fla. But the result window is a blank although I do see the tracing message of photo details in the output window. Then, I saw the ..\deploy\FlashrSimpleSearch.swf has been updated, so I copied this file to my root directory of webserver (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot), and I opened the web browser to test http://myIP/FlashrSimpleSearch.swf or http://myIP/FlashrSimpleSearch.html (I changed the publish settings in Flash to publish this html as well) and I can see the message “transfering data from api.flickr.com…”, but there is still no photo showing up. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

This sample included the latest version of Flashr at the time it was published. The link I gave you in my last comment is a slightly newer version. The example should work fine with the newer version.

The code in FlashrSimpleSearch is a class which is associated with a symbol in the library. This is how code is included in AS2 – I recommend searching around for an intro to AS2 or reading reading Colin Moock’s Essential ActionScript 2

The two files that were fixed were the 0.4 and the 0.5 version. You will only need to change Flashr.as since that corresponds to the 0.5 version.

You should run FlashrSimpleSearch.swf from within the Flash IDE (Ctrl-enter) or from a webserver. The issue you describe is due to the “local content can’t access internet content” flash security restriction, not the crossdomain.xml file and the endpoint for the flickr API.

Hope all that helps! In future you may find it more useful to ask questions about Flashr on the Flashr mailing list

I am aware that you made a fix (https://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/osflash/flashr/changeset/54). But while I look into the previous page, I found there are two files-Flickr.as and Flashr.as needed to be changed, but I can only find Flashr.as encompassed in this FlashrSimpleSearch example. 2) While I try to excute FlashrSimpleSearch.swf, it will appear a security warning window, and I already went to the http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.html (Global security settings for content creators) to trust file in the location (e.g., C:\flash\FlashrSimpleSearch\deploy and C:\flash\FlashrSimpleSearch\deploy\FlashrSimpleSearch.swf). I do not know which previous one location is correct, so I add both of them, but while I try to re-excute the .swf file, the warning still presents.

Thanks for the prompt reply though I am still a little bit confused:) From the download section in this sample, you mentioned you include the latest version of Flashr 0.5. But you have another newest 0.5 version in http://flashr.kelvinluck.com/assets/0.5/ ? Are these two packages the same one? If not, I guess http://flashr.kelvinluck.com/assets/0.5/ is the very newest one, then could this example work with this version? And, I saw in the FlashrSimpleSearch.fla, there is no code inside, and the real code FlashrSimpleSearch.as is in the \FlashrSimpleSearch\src\com\kelvinluck\flashr\example. How do you make this work? I mean 1) how you include FlashrSimpleSearch.as into the .fla file, 2) I thought the files under \com\... should be at the same directory with the real source code (I am not sure the real source code is the .fla or .as in this case)

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Is Flashr 0.5 officially released yet? It seems that only this example is written in version 0.5? I would like to know which version to use at this time point. Thanks a lot:)

What version of Flash are you trying to open it in? I think it was a Flash 8 fla file. I have just resaved it as a Flash MX2004 file and reuploaded it so please download it again and see if you can open it now,

Cheers,

simple problem… I can´t open your FlashrSimpleSearch.fla would you please send it to me? Thanks!
