You’re close, it would actually be just the domain part, so in my case:

Security.allowDomain(“nfriedly.com”);

Or, to support multiple domains / subdomains, I believe you would have to do:

Security.allowDomain(“nfriedly.com”, “www.nfriedly.com”);

And then if you want the file to be accessible across http/https boundaries (where the .swf is https but the page is http or vice versa), you also need to do the same with:

Security.allowInsecureDomain(“nfriedly.com”, “www.nfriedly.com”);

You can find more details here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Security.html#allowDomain%28%29

Thanks for putting this together. In the readme you mention “It would be wise to edit and recompile the flash file to limit itself to your domain and http/https settings.” Where do you fix this?

Looking at Storage.as, would it be this?
Security.allowDomain(“*”);

For example, to only allow your domain, would you just edit the value to something like:
Security.allowDomain(“http://nfriedly.com/”);

If so, how does that work with sub-domains, or even with www? Thanks for your help!

That page also tells whether or not it has Local File I/O Enabled. I’m not positive, but I think that’s a requirement. Is it enabled on your system?

I’m moving soon, so I really can’t jump on this right away. If you want to dig into it more without me though, you’re more than welcome to. If you come up with anything, definitely let me know. I know there’s a debug version of flash player at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but I don’t know a lot about working with it.

Thanks for the compliments

I have tried to debug the script (using Opera Dragonfly) but the browser crash when I look at the ‘swf’ object.

Any ideas?

BTW: Awesome piece of code, well written and commented!!

Thanks for the help.

For whatever its worth, we at yousoft (shameless plug: http://www.yousoft.co.uk) use it for one of our clients.

Specifically they require users to use a cool piece of javascript that scrapes content from sites and creates wish lists (great for weddings, birthdays etc).

Thanks to Nathan users don’t have to log in every time they view another page

Great work!!
