crossdomain.xml issue?
Is there an issue with the widgetbox crossdomain.xml file?
All dynamic resizing widgets seems to throw "Permission denied for <http://xxx.com> to call method Location.toString on <http://yyy.com>." errors.
http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/googl... throws:
Permission denied for <http://markup.widgetserver.com> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.widgetbox.com>.
Permission denied for <http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.widgetbox.com>.
I tried a completely vanilla dynamic widget, and the same was true:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>

</html>
Having looked at the widgetbox.com/crossdomain.xml file, I wonder if there is a line missing?
It all seems to be due to a security update in Flash 9, that requires the specific inclusion of a line dealing with headers such as
<allow-http-request-headers-from />
http://willperone.net/Code/as3error.php seems to be the place most people start from on this.
It's an irritating error, and certainly on FF3, seems to mess with the resize

Inappropriate?Hi Linkky,
This looks to be working correctly for me on every machine I can get my hands on (in and out of the office).
You may want to try upgrading to Flash 10.
-
Inappropriate?I am using Flash 10 - have you tried Firebug, as that is where it shows? -
Inappropriate?Yup, Firebugs a big part of my life, but all is working well. Maybe someone else will have this issue and chime in... but until then, i'm not sure what to do without being able to repro the issue.
If it's dynamic size, you may want to check your Flash shared object space. You could potentially be out of space.
-
Inappropriate?Exactly the same problem here. Thought I was missing something crucial, but glad to know it's not just me. FF / widgetbox / FireBug - all as described. Not certain about Flash version but will check. Mac OS Snow Leopard. Site's at presentationworks.me.

I’m frustrated - though not losing sleep

Inappropriate?Hi Colin,
Just so we don't misdiagnose based on a similar issue, are you saying nothing Dynamic Size works for you, or that you're getting JS errors, or what exactly is happening for you? I didn't see any widgets on your site at the above URL.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the reply, Dave. The widgets at presentationworks.me are in the sidebar which expands per header. There are a few there. The problem I have is exactly the same Firebug report as described previously, i.e. a Firebug error report as follows "Permission denied for <http://markup.widgetserver.com> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.presentationworks.me>". Obviously, only visible in FFox, not Safari or Opera. All software, incl Flash, fully up to date. Hardly critical but a bit annoying nonetheless. Mac OS X running Snow Leopard, Mac Pro with plenty of proc power. Any thoughts there please? Thanks.
I’m just a tad frustrated by it, s'all

Inappropriate?Hello.
I just found, the same problem with my widget:
http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/ofert...
Firefox (firebug) throw an error:
"Witrynie <http://markup.widgetserver.com> nie udzielono uprawnien do wywolania metody Location.toString na <http://www.widgetbox.com>."
It seems to work fine in IE 6.0, and Chrome.
I think, widgebox.com/crossdomain.xml is missing this part:
<allow-http-request-headers-from />
Please, answer,
regards.
Marek
I’m really frustrated

Inappropriate?Hey guys,
The error you're referring to looks to be the iframe security warning. You'll get it anytime you use Firebug or Safari's tools to view these errors. There's no way around it in the JS wrapper, but you can use the Flash wrapper if they really bug you.
-
Inappropriate?Ok, thanks Dave. So 'live with it' is the answer here.1 Comment

This solves the problem

For now, that's all I've got. You'll see this error across the web with things like us, Facebook connect, and anyone else that needs to do cross-iframe JS.
