Details

Till says many interactive ads require LocalConnection. Until we support LocalConnection, we may be able to adjust our ad detection heuristics to not play SWFs that are likely to use LocalConnection (identified by SWF dimensions or origin).

Till says we should at least scope the required effort and try to get it in quickly. We shouldn't block on it, though.

Matt is going to create some LocalConnection tests.

We're not sure if we really need this. If we do, it still doesn't need to block enabling on Nightly.

Hello. Sorry for being naive or not too advanced to understand what's going on in here. I tried to run my client's app in Firefox, and the SWF movie crashes. I tested it in chrome and it works like a charm. It uses LocalConnection to communicate children Actionscript 2.0 SWF movies with an Actionscript 3.0 parent SWF movie. I also tested it in a new private window. Thanks.

hi Angel, this particular bug report is about Mozilla's Shumway project, but LocalConnection in Adobe's Flash Player plugin. I filed a new bug 1174400 for your problem.

I tested your SWFPlayer in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (on Mac OS X) and I see the same problem as you. When I click the green buttons, Chrome loads the videos but Firefox does not. Sometimes when I loaded your SWFPlayer in Firefox, the play and volume buttons would blink rapidly, switching between video play and pause mode. Strange!
