Bitmapdata.draw + NetStream.play( null ) = SecurityError

[AndreyE]

Hello,

Can someone help me, with this bug.

Problem Description:

While playing video in data creation mode ( play( null );  appendBytes( xxx ); ), if we try to bitmapdata.draw on video or video container, flash trrow error:

SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: app:/ApplicationName.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access.

          at flash.display::BitmapData/draw()

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start NetStream in data creation mode( NetStream.play( null ); NetStream.appendBytes( xx );

2. Wait 30-60 sek to load buffer, or not( it does not matter )

3. Do Bitmapdata.draw( [Video or VideoContainer] )

Actual Result:

SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: app:/ApplicationName.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access.

          at flash.display::BitmapData/draw()

Expected Result:

We get bitmap data with current video frame image.

crossdomain:

<cross-domain-policy>

<allow-access-from domain="*"/>

</cross-domain-policy>

We tried:

1. Add in main class: Security.loadPolicyFile("https://Application.com/crossdomain.xml");

2. Added NetStream.checkPolicyFile=true before the NetStream.play( null );

3. Add in main class:

         try{

                Security.allowDomain("*");

                Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");

            }catch ( e:Error ){

            }

Nothing helped.

P.s. Sorry but i created this bug in bugbase.adobe.com three times, didn't see this warning:

Hey, it's the same problem that i wasn't able to fix.

This looks like Flash doesn't allow to capture stream. Let's to adobe's guys fix this issue soon.

Thanks for adding the bug report.  The first report number was 3501559.  I've asked someone on the team to take a look.

I would love to hear that this is fixed. This is another one of those goofy issues that makes me wish I was not stuck working with Air on my current video project.

[jeffreyabe]

Any solution to this one yet. I looked up bug 3501559 on https://bugbase.adobe.com but didn't find it.

[chris.campbell]

Is this issue still occurring with AIR 3.8?  Bug 3501559 was marked as a "security" bug when entered and those aren't publicly visible.  Unfortunately, this isn't the type of security bug we'd consider private but I'm unable to unblock it for public viewing.

It's probably best to open a new bug report, but I can also point the team to this forum thread if you'd like to provide additional information here.

This bug is still a problem on iOS when the project is compiled with AIR 3.8.

[jeffreyabe]

Here is a conversation I had on this topic. My mistake is shown in the very last section. The security error I was getting was my fault because I was trying to attach a netstream object to two different video objects concurrently. So I don't have this error anymore. Thanks for getting on this however and asking.

Any chance You'll be making the video object in flash work with GPU in the future? Flash is really slow when you're dealing with 720p and 1080p video where you need to capture the video with bitmapdata. Love the idea of StageVideo, but you can't capture screen shots. I know this isn't the right place to put this, but it sounds like you have a lot of power at adobe and I thought I'd mention it.

A new bug was opened up on this issue and if possible, I'd recommend taking a minute and leaving a comment/vote here so we can determine how this impacts our developers.

@jeffreyabe - The power really lies with developers like yourself.  We use the feedback from our bug database system (which tracks both feature requests and bugs) to prioritize features and functionality like you suggest.  I would recommend taking a look to see if this has already been suggested and if not, opening a new one.  Once added, please post back with the URL so that others interested can add their comments.

We still have the same problem. Please fix this issue.

[Robert Mc Dowell]
