So I've tried pretty much every method I can think of and either get a 404 on the status when testing in offline mode or get a security sandbox error when testing online. I'm attempting to fetch data from a shoutcast page using the 7.html that it has for quick access to the stats.
The page I'm testing with is http://37.58.52.41/7.html
Note: I've tried the netstream method of fetching shoutcast data and was unsuccessful with that as well.
Maybe the following code will be useful:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function init():void{
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, urlloaderCallback);
var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("pragma", "no-cache");
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://37.58.52.41/7.html");
request.requestHeaders.push(header);
loader.load(request);
}
public function urlloaderCallback(event:Event):void{
//<HTML><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"></head><body>531,1,893,1000,528,192,We aRe oNe</body></html>
var get:String = event.currentTarget.data;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
This code works perfectly, check the comment below public function urlloaderCallback, there is the HTML returned by the URLLOAD call.
As @Aralicia pointed out, you need a crossdomain policy on the server that allows Flash to pull information from it.
A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client, such as Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Acrobat (though not necessarily limited to these), permission to handle data across domains. When clients request content hosted on a particular source domain and that content make requests directed towards a domain other than its own, the remote domain needs to host a cross-domain policy file that grants access to the source domain, allowing the client to continue the transaction.
