Weather Underground 1.2 widget

MatthewLawton — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 17:25:20 GMT

I'm trying to implement Robert's Weather Underground 1.2 widget in my SFV 1.3. I think I have it setup correctly, but when I run my project and attempt to use the widget, I get this security error:

SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property. file:///C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/Emergency_src/bin-debug/index.swf was attempting to load http://resize.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/resize_convert?ox=gif&url=radblast/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_composite%3Fcenterlat=39.49833298%26centerlon=-119.76805878%26radius=15%26newmaps=1%26smooth=1.

I read on the web where it says this could be caused by a missing "trustContent" property somewhere, whereas others say it has to do something with "SecurityDomain.currentDomain", which I can't seem to find in the code.

Any idea why this is happening? If I compile the project and access it from another workstation I get this application error:

Error: Event Target: [object GeometryService]

Event Type: fault

Fault Code: Channel.Security.Error

Does it work if you run your Viewer from http:// instead of file://?
e.g. http://localhost/Emergency_src/bin-debug/index.swf

You can configure Flash Builder to launch it this way for you by setting the "Output folder URL" under the Project properties Flex Build Path.

I knew it had to be something simple like that. Works great now. Thank you, Dasa!

Hi, Robert

The widget looks great! I have couple questions for you. when the widget opens up, it default shows weather in AL, how can I change that to our local weather? Also, after I did search and tried to zoom to the local airport, my map is blank, would you please help figure it out?

I appreciate your help!

Aimei,

You will find all the answers in the WUnderGroundWidget.xml file.

The outspatialref in the WUnderGroundWidget.xml will need to be set to the WKID of your map.
