Info

A policy file obtained from the old default location--/crossdomain.xml on an HTTP server on port 80—implicitly authorizes access to all ports 1024 and above. There is no way to retrieve a policy file to authorize XMLSocket operations from any other location on an HTTP server; any custom locations for XMLSocket policy files must be on an XMLSocket server. Because the ability to connect to ports lower than 1024 is new, a policy file loaded with loadPolicyFile() must always authorize this connection, even when a movie clip is connecting to its own subdomain. For more information, see the following: ■ The Flash Player 9 Security white paper at http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_0_security ■ The Flash Player 8 Security-Related API white paper at http://www.adobe.com/go/ fp8_security_apis Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7,0,19,0 Parameters url:String - A string; the URL where the cross-domain policy file to be loaded is located. sandboxType (security.sandboxType property) public static sandboxType : String [read-only] Indicates the type of security sandbox in which the calling SWF file is operating. System.security.sandboxType has one of the following values: ■ remote: This SWF file is from an Internet URL, and will operate under domain-based sandbox rules. ■ localWithFile: This SWF file is a local file, and has not been trusted by the user, and was not published with a networking designation. This SWF file may read from local data sources, but may not communicate with the Internet. ■ localWithNetwork: This SWF file is a local file, and has not been trusted by the user, and was published with a networking designation. This SWF may communicate with the Internet, but may not read from local data sources. ■ localTrusted: This SWF file is a local file, and has been trusted by the user, using either the Settings Manager or a FlashPlayerTrust configuration file. This SWF file may both read from local data sources and communicate with the Internet. 1082 ActionScript classes
Note that this property may be examined from a SWF file of any version, but is only supported in Flash Player 8 or greater. This unusual arrangement means that you can examine this property, for example, from a version 7 SWF file playing in Flash Player 8. This allversions support means that, if you publish for a version earlier than 8, you will not know at publish time whether this property will be supported or not at playback time. Thus, in a SWF file of version 7 or lower, you may find that this property has an undefined value; that should only happen when the player version (indicated by System.capabilities.version) is less than 8. In that situation, you can determine the sandbox type according to whether your SWF file's URL is a local file or not. If so, you can assume Flash Player will classify your SWF as "localTrusted" (prior to Flash Player 8, this was how all local content was treated). If not, you can assume Flash Player will classify your SWF file as "remote". For more information, see the following: ■ The Flash Player 9 Security white paper at http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_0_security ■ The Flash Player 8 Security-Related API white paper at http://www.adobe.com/go/ fp8_security_apis Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 - See the description for version-specific details. Selection Object | +-Selection public class Selection extends Object The Selection class lets you set and control the text field in which the insertion point is located (that is, the field that has focus). Selection-span indexes are zero-based (for example, the first position is 0, the second position is 1, and so on). There is no constructor function for the Selection class, because there can be only one currently focused field at a time.
