That old chestnut: * Security Sandbox Violation * clogging the debug trace

Hi,
I am attempting to debug a project for Flash Mobile and getting very irritated by *** Security Sandbox Violation *** warnings whenever I move, touch or interact with the application in any way whatsoever. These typically fire two or three _PAGES_ of warnings for a simple drag operation... Because there are so many of these warnings, the debug trace is effectively redundant and useless unless I actively insert a manual break point immediately after the traces I want to view - fine for a comms operation, not so useful when attempting to debug coordinates for a drag operation.
The cause, obviously, is that I have loaded external content for display in a SWFLoader component...
Because I am in AIR for mobile, I cannot access Security to allow the domain and crossdomain from the content provider is ignored or not loaded.
I have found a number of references to this ranging from very recent to several years ago, such as this one which indicates a) the trace is a bug and b) something was being done about it: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/576999
I cannot find any reference to a fix ever being implemented and the trace issue is driving me nuts.
Please, please, please can somebody direct me to a workaround to hide this? I've tried all kinds of disabling for mouse events, keyboard events, mouse children etc.
Thanks,

Is it bad form to bump?

Day 1 Ex. 3 Help! Error: Security Sandbox Violation

When I run the solution code in Flex Builder, I get a ***
Security Sandbox Violation *** message when debugging. Although,
when I changed my default browser to Safari, everything seemed to
work fine. Also, when I go directly to the bin-debug folder and
opened the "AdobeODT.html" file, the data from the xml file loads
properly. I played around with the "crossdomain.xml" solutions I've
been finding on the net, but couldn't get it to work. Anyone else
running into this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Running:
Mac OS X 10.5.6

Hi everybody who is experiencing this same problem. A little
research online directed me to the following page
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-21996.
Which contains a good explanation why this is happening:
quote:
A SWF file can access one type of external resource only,
either local or over a network; it cannot access both types. You
determine the type of access allowed by the SWF file by using the
use-network flag when you compile your application. When
use-network flag is set to false, you can access resources in the
local filesystem, but not over the network. The default value is
true, which allows you to access resources over the network, but
not in the local filesystem.
So a sollution for this problem is:
quote:
you may specify the following string in "Additional compiler
options" at "Flex Compiler Settings" tab: -use-network=false
Hope this helps all of you experiencing this problem.

Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: Urgent Checked the forum none of the solutions worked

Hi all,

Hi Alex,
   Thanks for the Link . I saw the link and have done the same steps as said in that . I have created a crossdomain.xml file in my 127.0.0.1 and i can also see that the policy being accepted in the "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs" . I have pasted the lines in policyfiles.txt below.
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded: app:/main.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: http://127.0.0.1/crossdomain.xml
   But I still get that sandbox violation error. I have tried the below solutions and none of them worked
       1) security.allowDomain("*");
       2) crossdomain xml in the webroot of the accessing server like below
                    <?xml version="1.0"?>
                     <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM “http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd”>
                     <cross-domain-policy>
                        <site-control permitted-cross-domain-
policies="all" />
                         <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
                   </cross-domain-policy>
       3) I saw that adding the Application path in the "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\flexbuilder.cfg" will remove the sandbox violation but this also didnt work
       4) "Project - Properties - Flex Compiler - Additional compiler arguments:" add   -use-network=true and then recompile and post to server
       5) I have also checked the policy file logs
Thanks in advance

How to resolve security sandbox violation (Error#2148) in Flex 3 on XP?

Hi,
When I tried to access an image on c:\ (on XP), I get the following error:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file:///C:\DBFiles\3.jpg halted - not permitted from http://localhost/test-debug/test.swf
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://localhost/ullmanphp-debug/ullmanphp.swf cannot access local resource file:///C:\DBFiles\INDSprintOrgChart.pptx\3.jpg. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
at flash.display::Loader/_load()
at flash.display::Loader/load()
It looks like some sort of mismatch on security settings. I have done the following so far (based on what I got by googling....)
1. Flex comipler setting additional compiler arguments: -use-network=false
2. I have added a crossdomain.xml on the source directory with these lines...
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="SOAPAction"/>
However, error is still appearing. How do I fix this for testing on my local machine. I cannot move to a webserver at this time.
Thanks!.

How do I set Security.sandboxType related to flash player? When I try to see it in my application through debugger it says "remote". I think I need to set it to one of the following from the adobe manual pages...
Security.sandboxType has one of the following values:
remote (Security.REMOTE)—This file is from an Internet URL and operates under domain-based sandbox rules.
localWithFile (Security.LOCAL_WITH_FILE)—This file is a local file, has not been trusted by the user, and it is not a SWF file that was published with a networking designation. The file may read from local data sources but may not communicate with the Internet.
localWithNetwork (Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK)—This SWF file is a local file, has not been trusted by the user, and was published with a networking designation. The SWF file can communicate with the Internet but cannot read from local data sources.
localTrusted (Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED)—This file is a local file and has been trusted by the user, using either the Flash Player Settings Manager or a FlashPlayerTrust configuration file. The file can read from local data sources and communicate with the Internet.
application (Security.APPLICATION)—This file is running in an AIR application, and it was installed with the package (AIR file) for that application. By default, files in the AIR application sandbox can cross-script any file from any domain (although files outside the AIR application sandbox may not be permitted to cross-script the AIR file). By default, files in the AIR application sandbox can load content and data from any domain.
Any input on how to set it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Security Sandbox violation, opening links in Flash player

Hi,
I have a swf content and its content served from a content management server say for eg, http://www9.abc.com into the html file which is served from http://qwww9.abc.com The links embedded in the flash were not working, when these links are clicked I get this error when tried with Flash debugger player.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***SecurityDomain 'http://qwww9.abc.com/' tried to access incompatible context 'https://www9.abc.com/sample.swf'
I had set a crossdomain policy file in a custom location in the content management server for this issue, but with the Flash player 9,0,115,0 this stopped working due to default policy change to "master-only". I will not be able to have this policy file in the root folder of the content management server or have the policy set in the HTTP response header.
Is there anyother solution for this issue, for having the links work without setting the crossdomain policy file?
Thanks in advance...

Error #2048: Security sandbox violation

I've been developing Flex apps for a couple of years now and feel comfortable with my development environment.
I'm testing out Gumbo in my same environment (new workspace): WAMP based
My test app works fine on my localhost set up... but when I upload the files to my hosted domain server... I get Error #2048: Security sandbox violation.
Specifically:
- I'm invoking an HTTPService by setting the url to a relative path (folder/file in same dir as the swf)
- I set method to POST and useProxy to false
(<fx:Declarations>
        <s:HTTPService id="contentService" url="data/verd_content.xml" method="POST" useProxy="false" resultFormat="e4x" />
    </fx:Declarations>)
- I wrapped the send call in a try / catch block and show an Alert with the error message in the catch... here's what it says
body = (null)
clientId = "DirectHTTPChannel0"
correlationId = "F4B9A542-8B00-5CDB-3C36-1316919FC255"
destination = ""

    type = "securityError"
timestamp = 0
timeToLive = 0
*NOTE: I obfuscated parts of the url for security reasons
I read the other similar posts here about problems like this when using the PHP / Zend set up... but I checked the .actionScriptProperties file and it does not have any URLs in there (like localhost:port#)
I'm not using a service-config.xml file in this project... but I have set up WebORB for PHP servers and use that all the time... so I know how that works...
Is this a bug or am I missing something new in the Gumbo ?
Again: my swf file is in a folder in the webroot on my ISP
also inside that folder is another folder with an XML file in it
I'm setting an HTTPService call using the url parameter on a POST with a relative file path (folder/filename.xml)
changing the url to an absolute makes no difference...
thanks in advance for any help

Sure...
here's the code that contains both the HTTPService setup and the URLLoader setup... like i said in the original post.. the HTTPService call throws the error described, whereas the URLLoader call does not:
private var loader : URLLoader = new URLLoader();
private var req : URLRequest = new URLRequest("data/***dant_content.xml");//path obfuscated
protected function Application_creationComplete():void
    // This works...
    loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, parseContent );
    loader.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, contentFault );
    // This does not...
    /* contentService.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT, parseContent );
        contentService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, contentFault ); */
    try
        loader.load( req );
    catch (err:Error)
        Alert.show("In Try Catch Error Block: " + err.message);
        currentState='home';
the HTTPService was set up like this: (again, i obfuscate the URLs for security)
    <fx:Declarations>
        <s:HTTPService id="contentService" url="data/***dant_content.xml" method="POST" useProxy="false" resultFormat="e4x" />
    </fx:Declarations>
the parseContent function setup in the event listener justs reads the XML file and uses that data to build an image gallery.
hope this helps (for what its worth: I'm not doing anything serious with Gumbo as of yet due to these kinds of bugs)

Flex 4 + AIR 2 + mx:Image = Security Sandbox Violation!

Hi there!
I've been using Flex 4 and AIR 2 for some time now and there's a bug (or is it really one) that I always get and can't understand...
Whenever I use a <mx:Image> to load an image (JPG) on a remote server that has a valid crossdomain.xml I get some annoying warnings. Of course, these only are warnings and everything runs fine (except that) but it's a pain to debug an app that has lots of logs like that:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://static-p3.fotolia.com/jpg/00/07/56/92/110_F_7569245_9hdeWKxUxFRNYuowdSDBNv0YFN9xTJ9 S.jpg' tried to access incompatible context 'app:/Main.swf'
I've googled it and found lots of others folks/threads about this, but none of them provide a valid solution... Seems like it's specific to AIR because some answers/solutions I found work in a basic SWF, but fail in an AIR app.
Is that a bug in Flex?
Am I wrong about the crossdomain.xml?
How could a JPG raise a Security Sandbox Violation?
Tips or tricks, anyone?

AIR has different security rules because it doesn't really have a "domain"
to compare against crossdomain.xml. The warnings are annoying and
misleading and usually indicate that some code is trying to access the
bitmap inside a try/catch block. Usually you can ignore any warning that
doesn't stop execution.

Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw

Hello,
I got this error:
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
when I try to draw a frame of a movie that is downloading from another server. Crossdomain.xml is set. Another Jpgs are correctly drawn but only a movie causes an error.
I need to checkPolicyFile but where should I do this? I have no direct access to Loader to set up LoaderContext(true) ...
Thanks,
Michal

I too would love to know how we can pass in our own LoaderContext to set the security domain. I'm receiving the same error after snapshotting a loaded SWFElement bug/watermark.
e.g.
var bug:MediaElement = new SWFElement(new URLResource(url));
var bugTrait:LoadTrait = bug.getTrait(MediaTraitType.LOAD) as LoadTrait;
bugTrait.load();

Youtube: security sandbox violation

Does anybody have a recipe for loading the AS3 chromeless player into a Flex application such that you don't get the 'incompatible context' errors constantly?
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://core-dev.thismoment.com/client/Demo.html' tried to access incompatible context 'http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3'
I've been experimenting all day with Security.allowDomain, Security.allowInsecureDomain, and LoaderContext, but I haven't found the magic combination yet. The main thing I want to do is be able to track the mouse wherever it goes on the screen. Right now, if I mouse over the YouTube player, mouse events stop getting sent to the application, and I get that sandbox violation error in the debug log. It works fine if I run the swf from a file: URL - it just doesn't work when it's coming over http, so obviously there is some sort of Flash security model thing kicking in.

Doors only get opened from the inside otherwise all the bad guys would come
in.
Only the loaded SWF can allow access from the loading SWF.

Error 2142 - security sandbox violation

Hi,
I have a problem when I try to compile my player, I get the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property. file:///C|/development/Flash/Pathe%20ads/New%20cmpt%20sample%20code/AS3ComponentDemoCode% 5Fv2.1/DemoPlayer3Component.swf was attempting to load http://objects.tremormedia.com/embed/swf/acudeo.swf?rand=949275459.
What's odd is that:
1. I have used Security.allowDomain("http://objects.tremormedia.com/"); in the source code
2. This was working fine the day before last!
I have tried adding a crossdomain.xml file in the folder where I build the player, still no joy.
Can anyone help me with this? I tried throughout yesterday to fix it to no avail. I've even tried installing and building the player on a different machine to double check there wasn't something wrong on my PC.
Any help would be great - I'm tearing my hair out!

Flex == Socklet Policy == Security sandbox violation ?!?!?!?!

Please help me with this problem. I'v had this problem for
over a month
I'm trying to connect to my C# server through my Flex client.
Flex client in running on IIS (c:/inetpub/wwwroot)
the policy file in on the root folder of IIS
<?xml
version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" secure="false"
/>
</cross-domain-policy>
1: I tried to use the loadPolicy method before i connect
through sockets
Security.loadPolicyFile("h ttp://localhost/crossdomain.xml");
(space does not exist in real code)
2: flex sends this message to server side while connecting
("<policy-file-request/>") so as soon as i get this message
on server side i read the policy text from crossdomain.xml and i
send ti back to the client.
eventhough i get a security error the client is still able to
connect to the server and send messages but it cannot receive any
message
I get the following security error:
[SecurityErrorEvent
type="securityError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2

load data from 10.0.0.3:8000.
y am i still getting this error???????????
some people suggested to read the log files: but i followed
all adobe tutorials to turn os loggin, but couldn't get it to work.
mm.cfg does not exist, log folder for flash player does not exist,
log.txt for flash player does not exists.

Hi,
In the move from Flash Player 9 to 10, Adobe increased the security constraints on sockets. If you are using sockets to connect to an "un-trusted" server, then you will still need a Cross-Domain Policy file, however that policy file must also be served up through sockets (not through HTTP).
You will need to run a socket server on the server you are connecting to in order to serve up the appropriate XML document through port 843 (by default). This socket server can be implemented in any number of ways, but I use a Java socket server that Thomas over at LessRain has posted on their blog. You can find it here: http://www.blog.lessrain.com/as3-java-socket-connections-to-ports-below-1024/
Good luck,

Flash CS5.5: Loading XML-file causes a "Security Sandbox Violation"

Hi,
after upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5, i get a "Security Sandbox Violation" when loading a XML-file. With CS3 everything was fine, but now my file is not working any more. The XML-file and my SWF-file are stored in the same directory and it nether work local nor on the webserver.
I don't know the correct message in english, but flash tells me something like:
"Security Sandbox Violation"
access to file:[]data.xml disconnent - not allowed from file:[]myfile.swf
Why am I not allowed to load an XML-file from the same directory/domain any more? And how can I get my data into my flash-File now?
It doesn't seems to be a Flash-Player-Problem, because an older version with the same code still works. So the problem has to be located in Flash CS5.5
Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot!

Security Sandbox Violation when calling a remote service from a worker

From my application, I make calls to a BlazeDS server, that works fine.
I added a worker that calls the same services on the same server. But then, only for the calls from the worker, I have a Security Sandbox Violation error. I launch the application from FB in debug mode.
This is the message :
Error: [strict] Ignoring policy file at http://xxxxxxxxxxxx/crossdomain.xml due to incorrect syntax. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/appstore-admin/messagebroker/amfpolling halted - not permitted from file:///D:/Projects/appstoreClientsNext/MultiAppstoreAdmin/bin-debug/MultiAppstoreAdmin.swf
Error: Request for resource at http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx/appstore-admin/messagebroker/amfpolling by requestor from file:///D:/Projects/appstoreClientsNext/MultiAppstoreAdmin/bin-debug/MultiAppstoreAdmin.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
What should I do to allow the worker to make remote calls ?

I made some progress on this. There are two different cases :
1) The service you want to access has a crossdomain.xml file
All the workers can access the service without a problem.
2) The service you want to access doesn't have a crossdomain.xml file
Whether you launch from FB in debug mode or you put your application on the same server you are trying to access, only the primordial worker will access the service, the other workers will encounter a security error.
I believe this is a bug. Shouldn't a worker have the same access privileges as the primordial worker ?
