That worked a treat – thanks

Just read my comment again and realised that it converted the html encoding – d’oh! Probably should have read that sooner

Thanks again for your help

@Dan–

I have never encountered this problem before, but one quick way is to just replace the characters once it’s loaded. Take a look at this blog and let me know if it helps:

Hi, great work on this but I am having a bit of trouble with a returned XML request. In the returned XML all of the tags are replaced with < > tags respectively – I have spoken with some of the other guys working on this and they do not think that it is an encoding issue, has anyone ever come across this before?

Flash Player Version Alert!

We had used this terrific class in a site earlier this year. We started to hear complaints that the service would just sit and spin and never do anything. However we couldn’t recreate the issue….until recently.

There were security changes in Flash Player versions sometime around version 9.0.120.0, so versions prior to that (like 9.0.42.0) worked fine, versions after that (like 9.0.124.0) fail.

The solution is to add a new item to the crossdomain.xml file, that looks like this:

Previously all we had in the crossdomain.xml was this:

We’ll also be looking into the extension of this class by Johan Obrink at the Man Machine Tech blog, where he’s adding error/fault checking, so future changes to Flash can be caught instead of leaving the visitor hanging. I see Carlo and Johan have chatted over on that blog.

Thanks again for the great work!

Thanks for your work! One question/(potential) bug: when I initially load up my SWF, I call the service a number of times to load up different data. I found that in some circumstances, a call would get made and fall through the cracks. Specifically, the __busyOnCall flag in WSProxy would be false, though there were calls to be made in the queue. I corrected this by changing the check in the callMethod() function to if (!__busyOnCall && __callQueue.length == 0) {
// etc…

I was wondering if you’d seen this behavior elsewhere and if so how you corrected it.

Great work on the Service. I was wondering if you have any intention of incorporating SOAP:FAULT support? I’m currently getting the following when I run across a SOAP:FAULT:

Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: [SERVICEURL]

Thanks!
