You shouldn't have a problem if you're setting the SWF as network-only. The key, as you've pointed out is the crossdomain.xml file.
Here's the file you would need: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";> <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy> You have to allow for * domain (all domains). Based on MM docs.

Thus..... it will be run *locally* on the end users machine. and the swf must access some online data about oil prices, which will be on *my webserver*. so, it works unless in flash player 8. 1. What I have already done: set the Local Playback Security to Network Only (in publish settings) 2. What I can't figure out: if I have to write a cross-domain-policy file, and how can I permit from any potential user. I'm hoping someone has done this!!!! if not I am going to tell the client it can't be done in 2 days!!! Thanks in advance, and Thanks even if you don't know but read this far......
