Yes, in Flash 8 you need to explicitly grant permissions for cross-domain data loading. By default, flash looks for the 'crossdomain.xml' file in the root directory of the server from which you are loading data. If you want to grant permissions to a specific sub-directory, put crossdomain.xml in that directory on the server and use System.security.loadPolicyFile() to tell flash where to find it.

hi list - did Flash8 change the policy for movies accessing data across domains? i have a swf that i want to read XML from a friends website. can i just ask him to place a cross-domain.xml file there, or do i have to write a proxy server on my domain to go and suck the data from his site? tx! /dc _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
