I think the easiest option would be creating some sort of proxy in php, if that's what's available to you on your server.
The only potential problem is (your) server configuration. Sometimes, external connections are not allowed, so calling functions like file_get_contents() with an external url won't work. Also, it seems you need to POST your data, so it's a bit more complex but not too much. A week ago or so I had a similar scenario. Though there was a crossdomain allowing connections from the production server, there was no crossdomain policy for the staging and dev environments. I also had to receive and send cookies, so I googled a bit and found this class, which was easy to use and worked nicely for me http://scripts.incutio.com/httpclient/ Some sample code for a POST request (taken from the project I worked on, just slightly modified) : $client = new HttpClient("theotherserver.com"); // this will print out useful info, enable it when debugging! // $client->setDebug(true); $client->post("/theservice.ashx", array( 'first_var' => 'foo', 'second_var' => 'bar', 'etc' => 'blah', )); // check status code here... if($client->getStatus() == 200) { // a string with the server's response $response_raw_data = $client->getContent(); } Maybe you can give this a try, it's very simple to install and use (just download and include the php file; you can find more code examples in the site). Again, in some configurations this code could not work; if any external connection in your server is rejected, then there's not much you can do. But even in the worst case, maybe you could find a third server that you have control over and that allows you to open external connections, so you could add a crossdomain there and run the php http client over there. Then, instead of talking directly to the ad server or a local php script, you'd call a third server that you control, which will proxy the communication between flash and the ad server.
