Does accessing the API from Flash/AIR need crossdomain.xml on server?

Hi,

 

I just had a discussion with a developer who currently works on a flash application which uses the API to pull data in.

It works fine in the developer verions, but does not get any data in a normal player. Due to the developer this is caused by the missing crossdomain.xml on the ws.webtrends.com server. Does anyone have the same experience and ideally a solution?

 

@Webtrends: Can you please verify that and place a crossdomain.xml on your server?

Meanwhile I found out that this definitly this is the problem.

Hope we get it soon on the ws.webtrends.com as it is present on the statse.webtrends.com anyways.

Hi Eric,

 

sounds good. Do you already have a rough timeline, by when it will be available?

 

Cheers

Hi Sebastian, it was good to see you here in London today.  We've deployed this update into our production environment as of this afternoon GMT.  Let us know if it's working as you expect.

Hi Eric,

 

was good to meet you in person at the engage.

Sadly I can not access the http://ws.webtrends.com/crossdomain.xml from here - can you?

 

Btw. will you gather the projects from the developer day and present them here? Would be good for new ideas and a starting point for own projects!

Hi Sebastian, sorry for the delay here.  We had deployed the xml file to each path, but hadn't deployed it to the root directory.  This has now been done, so you can now access the crossdomain.xml directly via the root (eg, http://ws.webtrends.com/crossdomain.xml).

 

Thanks for your patience, and let us know if there's anything else you need.

Hi Eric,

 

thanks - already got a mail from Matt letting me know it is online.

Now I just need the developer to adjust the path and we can start using the Flex Dashboard tomorrow
