Using the brightcove player in ActionScript over https

I really need some help here, we are trying to use our player over https. I am detecting the protocol and then setting the secureConnections to true if it is https however it is still throwing a SecurityError, here is the setup code.

var config:Object = {};
        config.playerID = dataProxy.getDataResource(SettingsKeys.PLAYER_ID);
        config.labels = dataProxy.getStructureResource(SettingsKeys.LABELS_XML);
        config.width = videoPlayer.stage.stageWidth;
        config.height = videoPlayer.stage.stageHeight;
        config.secureConnections = LocationUtil.isHttps().toString();
        videoPlayer.configuration = config;

This is then passed to the player as such!

playerWrapper = new BrightcovePlayerWrapper(new BrightcovePlayer(_configuration));

When I get the security error I can actually see in the url that secureConnections=true why am I still getting a SecurityError when deploying to https and setting the required variable?

EDIT:

SecurityError: Error #2047: Security sandbox violation: parent: https://sadmin.brightcove.com/viewer/us20110817.1104/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf cannot access https://mydomain.com/VideoTour/Application.swf.

I can confirm its loading the following crossdomain.xml from:

http://c.brightcove.com/crossdomain.xml

Solution

  • Turned out to be a cross domain issue
