Question

NetConnection.Connect.Closed

Hi,

I have an application running via FMIS (dev version) that has been working just fine until today. Now I see that once the net connection fails, every status check shows that the net connection is closed. The only spot in the AS3 code which can close the NetConnection object explicitly is a single function called from about a half dozen other functions - none of which are being executed when I step through the code.

So my problem is why is it that all of a sudden, after months of working just fine, would the net connection object just stop connecting and working? The weird thing is that I'm seeing a client connection in the FMS admin interface for the application, so there is some communication going on...but locally the status of the net connection keeps being read as closed.

I'm afraid to update anything with the live app as long as my local app is behaving this way. The only change that I've made systemically was to apply a Windows update this morning and install a malicious software tool...and I did download and install a trial version of Captivate two days ago, which could have been after the last local successful use of the application. If anyone has any ideas on what I can look at to figure out this problem I'd really appreciate it.

Regards,
Dave Spaar

    Would you have another computer where you could install FMS and the application and see if it starts working again? It could be related to the "malicious software tool". I know when I installed anti-virus, FMS had a very strange reaction... if I remember, it just stopped accepting connections, but it was so long ago, I don't remember exactly.

    Did you make any other changes in the client? Like upgrading the language version you are using on the client? Is it a flex or flash client?
