The place where fun never ends

Thanks for responding. I'm afraid I get nothing back from the server. You can see the code above in action at http://www.cuculcan.com/testwikimedia.html. Other than Flash returning the error code, that's it. Firebug error console returns nothing.

I do know that in the Flash authoring environment I can load that image (without using a proxy) and fill a shape because it doesn't throw a security error. But, of course, I can't do it in the browser. So I do know that nothing is wrong with that image.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. If you go to my website — http://www.cuculcan.com/ — you can see how I'm using the background images.

Thanks,

Jennifer

I'm trying to get the proxy to work with this simple Flash example:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var loadercontext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loadercontext.checkPolicyFile = true;
var urlrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(”http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/proxy.php”);

var urlvariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlvariables.url = escape(”http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/The_Tonight_Show_with_Conan_O'Brien-Intertitle.jpg”);
urlvariables.mimeType = “image/jpeg”;

urlrequest.data = urlvariables;
urlrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
loader.load(urlrequest, loadercontext);
var shape:Shape = new Shape();
addChild(shape)

function errorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
ExternalInterface.call(”window.alert”, e.toString());
}
function loadHandler(evt:Event):void {
var bitmapdata:BitmapData = new BitmapData(loader.contentLoaderInfo.width, loader.contentLoaderInfo.height, false);
bitmapdata.draw(loader);
shape.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapdata, null, true);
shape.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
shape.graphics.endFill();
}

with the idea that if I can get this to work, I can get my application to work, but I'm getting an Error #2124, which is telling me that Flash doesn't understand the file type.

I'd appreciate any help with this. wikimedia doesn't use crossdomain.xml files.

Thanks, Jennifer
