Thanks Dave With regards these security restrictions, I assume then because I am testing from the Flash IDE, this is treated as referencing an HTTPS URL where the movie that makes the request is not served over HTTPS?
To allow me to test calling an HTTPS script from the Flash IDE, will using a cross domain policy file with a pure wildcard: * (a single asterisk) allow me to call this script? The final application I am making will be packaged with Zinc and will be a standalone executable which I believe does not suffer from the same security restrictions - can you confirm this is true?
