There are no problems when the swf is uploaded to the site but when I run it locally, I keep getting "Error opening URL" messages. I'm using absolute pathing and if I paste the URL my script is using in a browser, the correct page opens. This only started happening after the site changed servers. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks. actionscript-3 flash-cs4 share|improve this question asked Feb 9 '11 at 2:58 jsalita 2710 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote The "Error opening URL" seems to be caused by a number of issues. I have tried to keep track of all the different solutions I have used in the past to fix the problem. Ever time I encounter the "Error opening URL" the solution is different. Hopefully one of these solutions helps you. I usually find the following solutions on google. - Make sure crossdomain policy is setup correctly. - Set a bunch of variables like Security.allowDomain(domainHERE) - Change publishing setting for your flash file. - Make sure your connecting to the right url. Here is what works for me... usually. 1) Make sure you are connecting to the right URL. Use the full path, don't use relative links. Also, copy and paste the url in your web browser to see if it connects. You can also use flash.events.HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS to view the HTTP headers but I would recommend you check out solution 5 first. Its a much easier way with more details.

(some shared hosting service) http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?810803-loadvars-Error-opening-URL I just tried the code provided in the help files: Code: var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) { if (success) { trace(this.toString()); } else { trace("Error loading/parsing LoadVars."); } }; my_lv.load("http://www.my-domain.com/data.txt"); I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance. Has anybody had the same problem? I guessed, maybe the header contains data like browser agent, that makes my webserver ignore the request...
