Error opening URL Error on a Mac

So is this happening to anyone else?
I do a test movie from my Mac and when the movie I’m
testing needs to load an external file I get the following error
message:
Error opening URL
"ETC:Users:michael:Current:cvs:Gigapets:launch:banner_main.swf/xml/home.xml"
This happens on my Mac alone mind you, everyone else's in the
office works fine.
It doesn’t matter if I am loading an xml file through
the XML object, or a swf or jpg file through the loadMovie
functions, it always gives me this error when I load files with a
relative path on my local machine.
I am running Flash 8 on OS 10.3.9

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

XML.sendAndLoad - (Security-related) Error Opening URL

Hi All,
I know this is a common problem (I've searched), but I'm
hoping you can help me out.
1. What my Application Does
My Flash app uses XML.sendAndLoad() to communicate with a
Java Servlet on the same domain, in the same webapp.
2. What happens when I run it on my (developer) machine
It works.
I connect to a url "
http://localhost:8080/webapp1/servlet/FlashServlet"
perfectly and pass around XML between Flash and Java
3. What Happens on the Real Machine
The Real Machines equivalent URL is
http://int-tzn:8101/webapp1/servlet/FlashServlet
The XML.sendAndLoad() cannot connect, with a "Error Opening
URL" error.
4. What I've Tried
4.1. Using a
crossdomain.xml on Real Machine
(not sure if I've got in correct place, but i
can see it at
http://int-tzn:8101/crossdomain.xml
4.2. Tried a StandAlone (Projector) WITH Network Access
4.3. Tried using
LocalContentUpdater to confirm and set
network access
4.4. Have set in my ActionScript :
System.security.allowDomain("*");
Please help.
This needs to go into a large Production Environment in 2
days and there are large amounts of money behind it.
Thanks in advance.

OK the deal is:
When using TLF, a user visiting your webpage will download the TLF's SWZ file, if the user already has that file it will be downloaded from the adobe site, if the adobe site is down then it will search the .swz from where the website is hosted on.
Have a read here:

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the

Error opening url 'file: What does it mean?

When I test some of my as3 movies a new window opens and I can test the file. Yet when I test other movies I get an (error opening url 'file message.) What causes that? It seems to me that if a movie plays it should also test in a new window.

It doesn' work. I only got the one file open. The swf file won't open at
all. The fla file won't test. But when I debug the fla file the flash player
debugger opens the movie in a new window and I get this message in the
output window: "Attempting to launch and connect to Player using URL
/Users/schweideltyson/Desktop/Circle.swf"
SWF Users:schweideltyson:Desktop:Circle.swf - 2887 bytes after
decompression
Could it be my flash player is not working properly? I wish I knew.

I don't know what the probblem is..
Can anyone help me? pls!!!

Use the trace function to track down what values you are trying to process. The error is telling you it cannot find the file for the path specified, and the path that it is identifying seems to be showing that there is a problem not only with the path (appears to have several blanks spaces) but also the file name.
Try tracing the url value before it gets sent to the loading line, as in... trace(url) and see what it shows.

Error opening URL-local files-mac

I'm using a var and an Array code on an empty move clip. The code is set on an "Actions" layer. The code checks good. All files are on my desktop.
When I test movie I get 'Error opening URL 'file:///Andrea/Users/user/Desktop/BosigerWk6/swfs/one.swf'
I'm on Mac running CS3. Flash setting is set to "Access local files only" I searched hours for a solution to this problem.
Please help. Here's the code:
//your swf list can be anything and any length. I named them one two three so you can easily test that it works
var swfList:Array = new Array("one.swf", "two.swf", "three.swf", "four.swf", "five.swf", "six.swf", "seven.swf", "eight.swf", "nine.swf", "ten.swf", "eleven.swf", "twelve.swf", "thirteen.swf", "fourteen.swf", "fifteen.swf", "sixteen.swf", "seventeen.swf", "eighteen.swf", "nineteen.swf", "twenty.swf");
var i:Number = 0;
loadMovieNum(swfList[i], 1);
//where next button has an instance name of 'nextBtn'
nextBtn.onRelease = function(){
    i++;
    if(i > swfList.length - 1){
        i = 0;
    trace(swfList[i]);
//your load funtion here like loadMovieNum(swfList[i], 1); or instance name.loadMovie(swfList[i]);
//where previous button has an instance name of 'prevBtn'
prevBtn.onRelease = function(){
    i--;

"Error opening URL" when loading JPG to MC

Hi my name is Dana ,I have this problem with my website that
I can't seem to solve...I will appreciate any help...thanks :)
Basicall my site is a gallary to display JPG's
There is a menu to select the topic and then all the relevant
JPGs are displayed.
I'm loading the names of the JPGs from an XML I created.
Then I duplicate a simple mc that I created called holder_mc
I have 4 col X 3 rows = total 12 holder_mcS in one page.
So far so good...but the problem begins when I you go back to
the main menu and try to upload a new set of JPGs.
Then an error appears and nothing is displayed:
http://www.whatever..../reception/0649.JPG"
Error opening URL
I tried to remove the movie clips using -
removeMovieClip(_root["holder_mc"+i])
but I get the same problem.
Is someone familiar with this problem?
If

The URL was just the massege i was getting...nothing more.
I found the problem...
I didn't pop the Array that got the images names from the
XML...so it was trying to load the wrong JPGs...
thanks for your help :)
I have one more question regarding to using mcS as buttons,
it seems that I have to use it with "onEnterFrame" , otherwise it
doesn't respond. But then I get an error messege ...*** Security
Sandbox Violation *** ... ' tried to access incompatible context
Do you know what is the problem? See my attached code.
Thanks again

Problem with Yahoo Maps..."Error Opening URL..."

I am trying to use a yahoo Action Script 2.0 map to display real estate listings from an xml file. I often receive the following output error, which prevents the entire yahoo map from opening:
Error opening URL ‘http://maps.yahooapis.com/xml/apiconfig.xml?r=988’ (the last 3 digits are random and change each time the problem occurs)
I have searched the internet for a solution and cannot find one.
I have emailed yahoo, who has not responded, as well as other people who have had the problem, but they cannot remember what they did to solve it.
Please help!

No, I'm not doing anything to handle security issues.
What I have done is downloaded all the .as files that yahoo uses for their maps (from http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/reference/YahooMaps/com/yahoo/maps?r ev=6), including the xml file (http://maps.yahooapis.com/xml/apiconfig.xml).
What I am thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, if I go through all the class files and change their names from "com.yahoo.maps.insertscriptname1.as" to something defining my own server (ie. mikeraydesign.maps.insertscriptname1.as), and point to the xml file from the one .as file that points to the one with the security issue, this might work.
I don't know if it will, but I don't think it can hurt. What do you think?
Regardless, lets say I put all the files into my own folder on my server, (ie. www.mikeraydesign.ca/maps/), how would I go about importing those scripts from my fla? The fla needs to import 4 initial classes, which then point to all the others (in the link I have above). How do you point to online class files? Would this even work?
Thoughts?

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the form. My form is created in InDesign cs6 and exported to interactive PDF with text fields. any one has some tips to deal wiith this?

Did you get this resolved? I am doing the same thing, passing in a url to the submitForm method via cURL. I am submitting as FDF, and specifying the #FDF at end of URL.
Currently working against a localhost url, which is allowed and trusted in acrobat to rule out the enhanced security of the reader.
Any ideas?
