Newbie question - I am creating a weather app that will pull data from Wunderground's API. I can see that the have a crossdomain.xml on their site. When working locally with the swf file I needed to adjust my settings. So, do I need to do anything or will this just work once it is a posted app?
It depends - how did you have to adjust your settings?
You can, of course, just upload the widget and try it - you don't have to make it publicly available during testing.
Hi Duane, the setting was on the global security settings. I had to add an exception to allow the swf file to get data from another site. I added the swf file as an exception and it worked.
I didn't know you could upload and not have it publicly available. I'll try that. Thanks!!

I uploaded it and it works on the site, but crashes when I try it on my Chumby One. Where can I see what's causing it to crash?
What you'll want to do is SSH into the device, then do:
stop_control_panel; start_control_panelAt that point, you'll see a bunch of debug output.
For information on how to enable and use SSH, see the wiki here.
That's pretty cool! I think this is the relevant info. The app name is Tampa Weather.

Hmmm, to fail validation my guess is that this movie was either published as Flash 10, or uses Actionscript 3.
The Flash player in the chumby does not (currently) support AS3, only AS1 or AS2.
