Error (#2148) Loading XML with Flex2

I was running through a simple tutorial for loading XML into Flex and displaying it in a DataGrid when I got the following error:

[RPC Fault faultString=”Error #2148: SWF file file:///C:/Documents and Settings/…/My Documents/xmlParsing/bin/xmlParsing.swf cannot access local resource Blades.xml. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.” faultCode=”InvokeFailed” faultDetail=”null”]

If I go into the bin folder and launch the SWF directly then everything loads and works correctly. That right off is a tip that it’s probably a security issue. Sure enough. With a little research I found it.

  • In the Navigator panel Right-click and select Properties
  • In the lefNav select Flex Compiler
  • In the Additional compiler arguments: field add the following argument: -use-network=false

So my arguments read: -locale en_US -use-network=false

It would seem that this setting has to be made for each project.

Stupid security settings. :-)

When I Googled this problem I only got three hits back. My guess is that this will be a common problem so it wouldn’t hurt for others to duplicate this solution to make it easier for others to find.


wscoop!

The problem is that with

-use-network=false

you can no more get access to Internet resources such as normal Web pages. This is really annoying. Is there a way to avoid that?
