Hi Patrick,
I'm interested to hear what others have to say about this as well. I too
have encountered this. If you have the Flash 9 player installed (even though
its a Flash 8 app) and you're using a crossdomain file, then it works.
However, if you only use the Flash 8 player view this app then it fails.
I had an idea of something else to try, but I didn't attempt it. Here is the
idea:
- put a tiny swf on that image server. tiny.swf
- load tiny.swf into app.swf
- tiny.swf does a security.allowDomain call to give its parent access
That alone might do the trick. If not, then take it a step further. Have
tiny.swf give app.swf security access, then tiny.swf actually does the
bitmap loading and passes the bitmap data to app.swf.
Stuff like this is a pain to test but I bet one of those will work. Please
let me know if you try one and it works.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Bitmaps and Security
Hello,
I have a small problem. We're using some bitmap functions inside flash
that scale thumbnails so appear to be smoothed out instead of jagged
edges. However, we're changing our back-end systems to be stateless and
our flash files and our images will be on different servers. Of course,
if you have had any dealings with cross domain image loading and bitmap
processing, you probably know what i am up against (images appear white
because of security restrictions when trying to apply bitmap processing)
Is it possible by a cross domain policy or other means to load the images
from different servers where your flash swf files remain and then apply
effects. I know it is possible with a php proxy, but that's computer
processor expensive. Since our sub-domains are all the same, there should
be a way to bypass this security.
Thanks for your time,
Patrick
