How do you deal with cross domain linkin issues? In the Flash 7 and 8

What do you mean? When is getURL failing for you? The only security situation with getURL is cross domain scripting attacks - like the myspace worm - but this is resolved with the "AllowScriptAccess" parameter/attribute in the Object/Embed tags of your html. Are you sure that you don't have yours set to "never"? That is the only way that getURL fails that I know of - in order to prevent malicious swfs from calling javascript with getURL.

If you are trying to access a webservice that does not have a crossdomain.xml file that will work for you, then you have to use a proxy server to interact with the 3rd party domain and shuttle the data back to flash.
