Hi, I making a game on flash for the iOS, the game runs perfectly in terms of performance but apparently the loadAPI() function in Player.IO class tries to load an external swf from "http://api.playerio.com/flashbridge/1" which returns "BridgeV1.K-PLugRYyb6o-lXn_4T6ug.swf" which probably contains the api itself.

And since apple does not allow apps to load external codes which seems to be what's happening there I am getting the error: "Cannot import a SWF file when LoaderContext.allowCodeImport is false."

I'll try to embed the SWF file to the app rather than downloading, but I want to ask if there's any point of trying to do so before I burn my time.

gotta say though, I really like Player.IO but this was unexpected

After some thinking ... embedding wont work as it wont be converted to byte code, is there an another way? swc? .as?
I don't want to spend ages coding and testing my own multiplayer code I am the only programmer on this project and I'd rather spend more time polishing the game!

Due to the inherent limitations of flash on iOS you cannot use the basic API as you have noticed.

We do however have a fully working swc in beta that solves just this issue. However as maintaining a SWC and making sure nothing breaks when we do updates is quite a lot more work, only paid costumers can sign up for this beta program.

If this is something you think you might be interested in, ping me at chris@player.io
