Problem with passing relative url-path in Flash. It belongs to Java+Flash

By SrihariCh | Jul 6, 2009

Hi all,
I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don’t have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application. Now, this .swf file is to be placed in the server system. While I am working with these, I faced an error.

Here, my issue/problem(s) starts….
1.)
With the help of URLRequest & URLLoader classes, I am loading a jpg file dynamically onto the stage using the following code:

HTML Code:

...bla   ...bla

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8888/getviews");

//var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mymdworld.com:8082/getviews");

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler1);

urlLoader.load(request);
function completeHandler1(event:Event):void {

        var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);

        var listData:String=loader.data;

        var viewswithusertype:Array=listData.split("$");

        usertype=viewswithusertype[0];

        var views:String=viewswithusertype[1];

        var users:Array = views.split(".");

        trace("users.length ="+users.length);

        for (var t=0; t<users.length; t++) {

                trace("in for loop");

                var itemname:String=users[t];

                var itemslist:Array=itemname.split(",");

                trace("itemslist: "+itemslist);

                comboBox_mc.addItem({label:itemslist[1],data:itemslist[0]});

        }

}
…bla   ..bla

//Code for loading the specific image when we click on Combo-box is added here. … … …

So, in the above code, in the first statement, I am passing the absolute path of the servlet as a parameter(viz., http://localhost:8888/getviews). It works fine in my localhost system.

What should I do if I want to open (or) execute the same url anywhere[i.e., both locally and remotedly] from Flash?

2.)
Also,Can we pass a url_String to URLRequest & URLLoader as a relativepath instead of as an absolute_path [same as in the above case which you can see in the first line of the code above].
If so, How we can achieve this?

Please, spend few minutes of your valuable time by replying solution or atleast a hint to my problem(s).
I will be waiting for your replies…..

Thanks in advance..
