Hello all,

I just spent the last way too many hours tracking down an issue that made a site that I built in Flash 8 not function correctly with Player version 9.0.45. It worked fine with 9.0.28 and versions before.

It turned out that the new version of the player didn't like the old cross-domain policy format that the developers on the project used:

<?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="*.clientname.ca" />
</cross-domain-policy>

It seems that it really didn't like the DOCTYPE declaration... without it, the problem went away:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*. clientname.ca" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Does anyone have an explanation for why this should be the case? Or is this an issue with the new version of the player? I'll admit that my knowledge of such server-related issues is meagre at best.

My apologies if this has been brought up before.

-Jer
