[HTML5] "Errors" in empty project on Edge

Help
#1

I’m not at all familiar with HTML5, but I’m trying to run a basic example:

public function new() 
{
	super();
	
	var tf = new TextField();
	tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial", 20, 0x0);
	tf.text = Assets.getText("assets/test.css");
	addChild(tf);
}

When I compile from FD, the local host browser tab opens, and the CSS shows up in the TextField, but I get hundreds of SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x5, Access is denied. errors in the F12 menu. I’m not sure what access is denied because I successfully got the contents of the text file. This is in the Edge browser, and I already have “localhost loopback” enabled.

Q1: Does this have a solution? I can’t really ignore it when it prevents me from seeing unique debug output.

Q2: How do you stop the local server? I have to exit FD and recompile each time to see my changes.

Edit: latest OpenFLime

I would recommend openfl test html5 in a command prompt, then you can Ctrl+C to cancel and do another build. The HTML server in FlashDevelop does not prevent file caching, and I have had other problems

#3

That answers Q2, but I’m getting a mix of Access Denied and XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x3, The system cannot find the path specified. errors in debug mode, despite getText() giving me the correct text. Nothing shows up in release mode.

#4

Upon further testing, I get the errors even in an empty OpenFL project, but only in debug mode. Release works as expected. I must have had caching issues that prevented me from pinpointing the problem earlier.

#5

I’m not aware of any real difference between debug and release builds, the asset system should still work the same, unless your project XML doesn’t include files under release?

#6

Nah, this is happening now in a completely empty OpenFL project. No assets, no if="html5" or if="release" tags or anything like that, nothing but class Main extends Sprite.

6.0.1/5.3.0

#7

So this error occurs only on HTML5, and specifically with Assets.getText, or with other asset types, or when loading no asset files?

#8

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. It doesn’t seem like it has to do with getText() anymore. It’s showing the errors with an empty Main.hx and nothing but the essentials in project.xml. On Edge browser.

package;
import openfl.display.Sprite;
class Main extends Sprite {
	public function new() {
		super();
	}
}

Are you using openfl test html5 to test your project, or are you serving it using a different host?

Does this occur in other browsers?

#10

I’m using that command to test. I only get the errors on Edge, not in IE or Chrome.

#11

Okay, I’ll try and take a look

#12

I am not getting this problem, what version of Windows are you running? What directory are you using for your test project? Are you using 127.0.0.1:3000 in the address bar, or a different address?

#13

Windows 10 1703 15063.483
Project directory: C:\Users\Nick\Documents\Projects\Haxe\OpenFLTesting
Export directory is specified as bin, so the bin, haxe, and obj output folders show up in \bin\html5
openfl test html5 -debug opens 127.0.0.1:3000. I press F12 any point after it loads to get to the console, after which I get the couple hundred errors.
