Trying to create a JPG from the camera and export it as a file.

[Owensb7]

I inherited a program that worked in 2012 but no longer works. I tradced the issue to the last line of the following code. I am unsure how to fix it. The purpose of the application is to take a picture from the camera and export it as a jpg and email it.

function createJPG( m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String )

{

  var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData(540,715);

  jpgSource.draw(m);

  var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(q);

  var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);

  var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type","application/octet-stream");

  var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");

  jpgURLRequest.requestHeaders.push(header);

  jpgURLRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

  jpgURLRequest.data = jpgStream;

  var jpgURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  jpgURLLoader.load(jpgURLRequest);

  navigateToURL(jpgURLRequest, "_top");

This is the error I get:

SecurityError: Error #3769: Security sandbox violation: Only simple headers can be used with navigateToUrl() or sendToUrl().

                at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()

are you testing on the server that contains the php file?

are you using a relative path to the php file?

I have the PHP file in the directory and what the previous employee did was "var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+"jpg_encoder_download.php?name=" + fileName + ".jpg");"

you have to test on the server or change your security settings, Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Security Settings panel

Thanks for the reply, I did both but it still won't save a jpg. I still get the same error.

you tested the file on your server and used a local path to the php?

Here is a link to the full program. It's written for an older version of flash and I can't figure out what broke and what didn't.

import flash.display.Bitmap; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.disp - Pastebin.com

there's probably not a coding error.  there's a security issue.

ah, okay. I'll try and look into it more.

>>

jpgURLLoader.load(jpgURLRequest);

  navigateToURL(jpgURLRequest, "_top");

Why are you using both load and navigateToURL? If you want to post the request and also go to a page you'll need a different request.

[Owensb7]

Which request would be needed?
