IE9 SCRIPT10: The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available.

[clark-stevenson]

We are having some difficulty with getting IE9 and Phaser (2.0.5 or 2.0.7) to work together.

The first thing that phaser tries to do on boot is load a config.json file which has been encoded in utf8 without bom. (According to Charles). I am positive the encoding is correct because I also have a profile.json which is loaded (outside of phaser) which looks the same and works.

The error I get with Phaser loading this JSON file is this:

Phaser v2.0.7 | Pixi.js v1.6.1 | Canvas | HTML Audio | http://phaser.io
SCRIPT10: The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available.

Do you have any idea what causes this?

Email me your json file and I'll take a look.

Hey Rich thanks 👍

So outside of phaser, I load data from this URL for example which was made by hand.

http://dev.cdn.drimgames.com/games/library/profiles/nc/lang/en.json

I use XMLHttpRequest and I check for the onreadystatechange. request.readyState == 4.

This works well across the browsers I tried it on so far, crucially bloody ie9

At the point at which phaser boots, the first thing it does is attempt to load a config file from here

http://dev.cdn.drimgames.com/games/quiz/release/data/test2/config.json

That is where the script10 appears.

In Loader.js there is a conditional that uses XDomainRequest for IE9
specifically. I would suggest commenting it out and rebuilding and test
that. I'm back next week so can look in more detail then but it may work in
the meantime.

Cheers,

Rich

Ah I never knew you were away mate, no worries! Thanks for taking a look, I will play with that loader and report back.

[clark-stevenson]

Thanks for the heads up on this Rich.

Getting rid of that whole XDomainRequest solves the loading error. However, I am not really comfortable making a pull request. Before I wrote this ticket, I read that XDomainRequest specifically exists to allow cross domain scripting which IE does not natively support with XHR.

We do not yet have a test case where we have the game running on an IFrame from a different domain. I will try to get one setup and test but I am away myself for a couple of weeks so there might be a delay.

Don't do a PR with it removed, just use as a local fix for now and I'll add
an option to skip the use of it entirely as a Loader setting.
