Flash + Java Server?

[Woadraiders]

So what I'm trying to do is get a swf to talk to a java application running off of my computer. It works locally (I can recieve messages from the swf), but then I gave it to a friend so I could see if it still worked. And it didn't, he put in my IP adress and my java app didn't get any messages.

I'm totally lost with this, and I'd search for it on google but I don't even know what I should be looking for. So what's the problem with this setup? Is it getting caught by my firewall or something maybe?

Thanks for helping out =).

did you copy all the files that you were using?

did you use short url instead of full
e.g.
C:\Users\name\Documents\flashjavaserver\
javaserverfile
or
javaserverfile

although if it worked on your computer you must have missed something when sending it to your freind

try it again and make sure you have the right files

Make sure you have a permanent IP.

What IP did you give him?
If I remember correctly you need an extern IP for that. Take a look at this for more details.

Stupid bullshit that has no relevance to the question asked?

Thanks for trying Adman.

I'm pretty confident I have a permanent IP since I'm on cable.

The IP adress that this site gave me is what I gave to him. Again, everything works only when I try connecting to localhost or 127.0.0.1.

[adam2510]

do you have a router?
i just tried connecting to my external ip and it took me to my router

did he say anything about it asking to log in?

[slavx]

you must configure your firewall(if you have one) and your router(if you have one too)

Have you prepared crossdomain.xml on the machine where java server is located? =)
