Setting up Flash in Rails
Just a quick gotcha that got me tonight:
Before I put my movies in their own subdirectory, i.e., when they were at the same level as crossdomain.xml, I was receiving a *** Security Sandbox Violation *** in the Flash Debug Console. After I put them in the movies/ directory, the violation went away.
In short:
# create a crossdomain.xml file
public/crossdomain.xml public/movies/movie1.swf
And make it more secure than that -- that's only for development.
# Put your movies below it
# Load them into your app (I love haml):
%object{:width => "700", :height => "100"}
%param{:name => "movie", :value => "movies/loggedInTest2.swf"}
%embed{:src => "movies/loggedInTest2.swf", :width => "700", :height => "100"}
