Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a swf from an air app. While this task is succesfull from Firefox, this isn't the case on Chrome. Is there anyway to enable LocalConnection on Chrome (i saw a bunch of old posts pointing to a helpx page, but since that turns out to be a 404, I assume it isn't actual anymore)?

Thanks,

Bogdan

Correct answer Dave Merchant

The KB article can be seen via the Internet Archive:

Unsandbox LocalConnections in Chrome

However the techniques it talks about are obsolete. Today's answer is simple - use another browser - but with all the browser vendors moving away from allowing third-party plugins to be installed (including plans to depreciate Flash in the near future), relying on being able to do anything with SWFs in browsers is not a long-term plan.

I was hoping for some other answer The actual target isnt Chrome is a BrowserSource plugin which uses the chrome api / PPAPI plugin, which unfortunately i can't change. I will try to make the change to a SocketServer to see how that goes. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
