RSLs loading in FP14
Hi list,
I know this isn't strictly on topic, but hopefully, close enough.
Would anyone happen to know whether there had been changes in Flash
Player 14 preventing it from loading RSLs from Adobe CDN?
I work on Linux machine and I don't have the latest FP version. In FP
12 RSLs load without a warning. FP14 on our QA Windows machine
however, signals security error and doesn't load.
My first guess was that maybe Adobe finally dropped RSL support for
new players? I searched FP release notes, but they are very
unspecific, so I can't conclude what exactly happened.
Best,
Oleg

Well you can use the new SDK with the new RSLs, but be aware they aren't signed by Adobe so they will go inside your browsers cache instead of the Adobe Asset Cache[1]. It's the only real hesitation for those of us that use the RSLs.

Subject: Re: RSLs loading in FP14
I'm using SDK 4.6.0 (the last version officially released by Adobe),
the RSLs load fine on machines with older players, but not on Windows
with FP14. Frankly, I'm looking for reasons to update. Cached RSLs had
been a major argument against updating so far, so I'm looking to gain
some confidence when I will try to convince my boss that we would be
better off with the newer SDK.
Best,
Oleg

Thanks, Alex,
Nope, I didn't yet asked Adobe. To be honest, I don't really know whom
to ask there. I was hoping this is a known issue, so I wouldn't need
to do my own research.
Other than that, I do understand the benefits of updating, there are
more options being discussed, Flex being only one of them, but I'm not
in a decision making position, at most I could suggest.
Best,
Oleg

Has this issue been raised at Adobe?
>Frankly, I'm looking for reasons to update.
The reason to update is this: By moving to Apache Flex, any bugs you want
fixed or features you want added can proposed as patches by yourself, and
should show up in the next release (assuming there isn't backward
compatibility issues or major bugs in the patch). Let's say you find a
bug in the SDK. Right now you can call Adobe and pay them to help you,
but I'm not sure that will be the case 3 years from now. You can
monkey-patch your fix, but what if the monkey-patch is big enough to
defeat the value of the RSLs?

Yeah, losing the RSLs can be painful for certain scenarios, but instead of
worrying about getting hosed by a bad player release, help us develop
FlexJS so you no longer need RSLs.

What version of Flex are you using? Remember Apache Flex framework RSL are not cached directly by Flash Player - but may be cached by the browser.
Looks like the cross domain hasn't changed.
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml
And the framework URLs look to be the same.

Thanks,
Justin
