I don't see upside.  It just sucks.  We have the same problem with our
remoting calls www.animationmentor.com vs http://animationmentor.com 

I am looking for an ActionScript GURU.  Any takers?  If so email me

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Gotcha: F8 Security Model

i believe thats been around since flash 7...can't load data from
different
subdomains.  I wish they could have excluded www. from counting as a
differetn subdomain, but this is one case where i really dont mind the
extra
security, it's kind of needed if flash is going to be taken seriously by
the
corporate world.
