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.

I just moved to mac and I am having a really stupid and frustating problem. Whenever I am trying to open a swf file (any swf file) or test a movie from the flash ide the internal player is blank and output has the msg error opening url "the path of the swf file here". This is not a problem that has to do with loading external files etc. It just refuses to open http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?806853-RESOLVED-Error-opening-url-when-testing-movie-(blank-movie)-on-mac-flash-cs4 any swf file and ofc or test any movie cause it keeps saying error in opening url even in blank movies. The simplest thing New File -> AS3 -> Test Movie -> Error in opening url Anyone with the same problem who knows a solution? I can publish the movie with no problem at all and I can run all the swf files outside of flash ide. I can debug movie from flash ide. I can html preview it from flash ide but i can't just hit cmd+enter to test the fraking movie.

Any help anyone? Reply With Quote 12-19-2009,10:36 PM #4 Ange52 View Profile View Forum Posts Senior Member Join Date Feb 2003 Posts 272 I'm having a similar problem! Whenever I test my Flash app, it complains that it has an error with a URL that should be loading XML. If I open the SWF directly (outside of the Flash CS4 IDE) or if I open it from an HTML page, everything loads without a pro
CS5 exporting causing "Error opening URL" error Posted on May 21, 2010 by Brendyn I recently upgraded to CS5. Maybe that as a stupid thing to do before the first upgrade was released… As usual, there are http://brendyn.com/blog/archives/297 a list of bugs. One of which, it turns out, does not allow me to work. When exporting any FLA, including a brand new one with no code whatsoever, I get an "Error opening URL" error. It seems Flash is trying to find the SWF I am trying to export, and is getting lost. After deleting my preferences, reinstalling, checking forums, and all the other regular things you do how to to fix a bug, I gave Adobe Support a call. After an hour of getting to the right person, trying to explain to him the problem, and setting up screen sharing, it turns out File Vault needs to be turned off in order to export a SWF. I tested this by creating a new user account, and everything worked fine. It also fixed the issue with Dreamweaver CS5 not how to fix opening at all. I can't go without security, so looks like I will have to use CS4 until Adobe comes out with a fix. Hard to believe Adobe wouldn't have tested this before releasing. --UPDATE Adobe seems to have fixed this. See blog post for more info This entry was posted in Rant by Brendyn.

I have my files on an external HD and after trying to use Time Machine (Mac) on a second external HD with the first HD still connected, the authorization got screwed up on the first HD. Must be something in the background aside from FileVault since I have that turned off. Thanks. Brendyn on February 20, 2011 at 3:01 pm said: Haven't heard about
