mnps, AIM == "AOL Instant Messenger" You should be able to connect to a socket server created with C++ using the standard flash.net.Socket class in ActionScript 3.

Hi guys I’m having some trouble with this error only using firefox.
I’m try to play a playlist on imeem.com and i always get this this error. I see it mention here but I don’t know what to do exactly in order to solve it since I’ve never done this before. Here’s the error :

Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://resources.imeem.com/resources/versioned/64/flash/audio_player3.swf cannot load data from http://ads.imeem.com/ads/amf/.

Hi,

Why do I get this error?

The only difference is in port number:

Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://192.168.2.145/FlexCCSample.swf cannot load data from 192.168.2.145:10120

[…] Connecting to AIM with ActionScript 3 Sockets – Zeus Labs Of course, I couldn’t let everyone upstage me, so with a couple weekends of work, I put together some classes for connecting to and interacting with AIM via the TOC 2.0 protocol. I made the basic user interface below just so I’d have a screenshot of the code in action. […]

Steven, I remember that someone tried to connect to MSN in AS3 a while back, but he ran into some trouble with SSL and security stuff, so I think the project was filed away and never finished. If you want the latest AIM code, check out my Mumble Messenger project.

Thanks Josh! This is a great help. Does anyone know of any Flex implementations for Yahoo, MSN Google?

Where can I obtain the latest AIM code?

Thanks,
-Steven

Thanks for the update. I’ve added a check to see who is on the buddy list, and even when a user is on the buddy list i still can’t send out or receive messages.
Looking forward to your AIM AIR client!

I’m currently working on an AIR client that uses MumbleLib. I intend to release an alpha version with source code as soon as I finish implementing a couple more features.

Jos, your code looks fine to me. It’s possible that AIMService may not know how to receive messages from contacts that aren’t on the user’s buddy list. I seem to remember running into that problem. I’ll put that on my list of things to fix.

Here is the proof-of-concept code that i’m using to test/work out how to use the new lib:

http://www.theorganization.net/work/jos/MumbleAIR.mxml

Now, it signs on, and i can see the signed on user. However, i am not receiving any messages sent in, or able to send any out. Do i need to have someone on my buddy list before i can send/receive messages? (i don’t think so).

Is there anything obvious that i’m missing/doing wrong?

Thanks again!
