Sample - Loading FLV & Loading Other External Files

[zenkick]

We have no problems intercepting a SWF's call for an external FLV when the SWF uses "http://flv/foo.flv".

We have no problems incercepting a SWF's call for any other external files, such as "foo.jpg", or another "bar.swf" file. In addition, we have no problem with nested calls-- bar.swf can as for "baz.swf", and we can still intercept and hand the stream back.

The issue we are seeing is that we can not combine the two above scenarios-- only one or the other works.

Is there a sample that shows the following functioning?

1.) A.swf starts
2.) A.swf loads B.swf
3.) B.swf loads image.jpg
4.) A.swf loads movie.flv via http://flv/movie.flv
5.) A.swf loads sound.mp3

Thank you.

Thank you for your question.

Do you use DLL Edition, right?

You can intercept calls from A.swf, so 1), 2), 4) and 5) work good? The problem only with 3) ?

In the scenario above, we can not perform #4.

I'm having one of my Flash developers prepare the above flash scenario that will run from the file system, and would love to send the zip to see if we've found a bug of some sort.

Just a quick test. Add a global handler:

Code: Select all

FPC_AddOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(hFPC, &GlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler, 0);


Inside it, trace what URLs are come:

Code: Select all

static HRESULT WINAPI StaticGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(LPCTSTR lpszURL, IStream** ppStream, HFPC hFPC, LPARAM lParam)
{
    TRACE(_T("URL: '%s'\n"), lpszURL);
}



Load the A.swf:

Code: Select all

FPC_LoadMovie(hwndFlash, 0, _T("http://PRIVATE_PATH/A.swf"));


Launch the application, you should see the following output (or like that):

Code: Select all

URL: 'http://PRIVATE_PATH/A.swf'


Modify the code of StaticGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler and provide content of the A.swf, launch again. You will see:

Code: Select all

URL: 'http://PRIVATE_PATH/B.swf'
URL: 'http://PRIVATE_PATH/image.jpg'
URL: 'http://flv/movie.flv'
URL: 'http://PRIVATE_PATH/sound.mp3'


Could you please try this idea?
