All,

I have been waiting for the Final release of the FlexViewer 2.1 before I started to push out some widgets I have been working on.

Here is my Weather Underground widget

Christina,

        The real issue is that the XML file is not available from your server. when you go to the url that you provided it should bring up the xml file and it does not so you have an issue there.

Robert,

Sorry I am really confused as to how to fix this. The widget was working prior to yesterday.  

I increased the permission settings for the .xml file on the server.  I still could not see the xml file.  So, I uninstalled and reinstalled it on the site.  Now I am getting this error:

SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property. file:///C:/cmccullough.net/McCulloughConsulting/IGIC/IGICFlash/Working/bin-debug/index.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/2 was attempting to load http://icons-pe.wxug.com/i/c/a/partlycloudy.gif.

Christina,

   You will always get this error when running the WeatherUnderground widget from the C: Drive as it is exactly what the error says "A Security Violation". When you publish the app to IIS and run it from there you will not get that specific error any more.   So I take it that you are seeing the WUndergroundWidget.xml in the virtual directory on your web server than?...

[ChristinaMcCullough]

Strange, but I am now getting the previous error???  The xml file is on the server with extended permissions.  I am officially stumped.  Would Flash compile this incorrectly??

[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"]

Fault code: Server.Error.Request

Christina,

   Just to be sure Flex is case sensitive is the file named EXACTLY : http://mccullough-consulting.net/Working/widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.xml?

[ChristinaMcCullough]

I just noticed the g was not correct in the config.xml file.  It is now fixed.   Thanks!!

All,

   A new and improved version is now available.
