@Matt,

The client meaning the FMud client or my MUD address?

the MUD address is muds.dyndns.org and the port is 9000.

Matt,

Can you help me? :) I am keep getting the
Trying to connect to muds.dyndns.org:9000
Unable to connect: security error.

I can see from the log console that I am making a connection:
Listening on port 843

Connection from ::ffff:76.119.99.238:58936
Valid request received from ::ffff:76.119.99.238:58936
Sent policy file to ::ffff:76.119.99.238:58936

flashpolicy.xml:
site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=”master-only”

allow-access-from domain=”muds.dyndns.org” to-ports=”9000″

Side not, I want to add this to my apache server but i think i didn’t do it correctly.
httpd.conf:

Alias /fmud “/home/mud/FMud/”
Directory “/home/mud/FMud”

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory

Regards,

@Dngn
While it’s not as simple as dropping it in to a website, I’d hardly say that the socket restrictions make it “next to impossible” to use.

You just need a daemon that listens on port 843 and spits out an xml file in response to a single request.

Thank you for the great flash client!

I was wondering–are there settings that could be set that would put the client in a “simple mode”? I’d like something as simple as possible to be as unintimidating as possible for new players.

Thanks again!

This is such a nice idea. Pity Adobe made it next to impossible for it to be practical to install because of the socket restrictions.

Because I don’t keep my SSH client connected to my mud host 24-7, I was unable to keep the policy file server up. For whatever reason, it needs to send output. SO… I wrote this script. Just need to run it like you would autorun for the mud (ie: sh ./autopolicy &). Just change the /path/to below, and insert the correct port.

#!/bin/bash
while :
do
./flashpolicyd.py –file=/path/to/FMud/flashpolicy.xml –port=xxxx &> connect.log
done

Awesome client–keep it up and thanks for sharing!

I was wondering if you’re planning to expose the send functionality via ExternalInterface. This will enable additional buttons on the page around the flash to send custom commands, which would make the solution a lot more flexible.

Also, dreaming ahead, a callback function (maybe ‘receive’) that will alert the JS on the page when new data has come in would be simply fantastic.
