Oh yes, I completely forgot about the crossdomain.xml file. You can do a search on this here and will get thousands of hits.
Basically, if your Flex application requires access to another server, that server must have a crossdomain.xml file in its root directory (ie. It must be able to be accessed at http://myserver.com/crossdomain.xml). There are articles available on Adobe's web site regarding this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security_\ update.html <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security\ _update.html> http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security\ .pdf <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_securit\ y.pdf> Most of this stuff is a bit over my head so you may just want to use my crossdomain.xml file. This is my crossdomain.xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";> <cross-domain-policy> <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"> <allow-access-from domain="*" ports="*" /> <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" secure="true" /> <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" /> </site-control> </cross-domain-policy> This is pretty open so probably shouldn't be used on a production server. I am in a closed network (Only internal access allowed) so I am not too worried. As an aside, I would recommend getting a debugging proxy like Charles - http://www.charlesproxy.com (There are others out there as well but I got Charles because it is cross platform). These utilities allow you to see incoming and outgoing traffic and they understand AMF. This is important as you can see your value objects as they are being passed. I find this tool indispensable when working with Remote Objects (Not to mention SOAP and other requests). --- In [email protected], "timgerr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > OK, I did everything that was given and when I run the app I get this > error: > warning: Failed to load policy file from http://127.0.0.1/crossdomain.xml > > *** Security Sandbox Violation *** > Connection to http://127.0.0.1/weborb/weborb.php halted - not > permitted from > http://localhost/weborb/WebORBExample-debug/WebORBExample.swf > Error: Request for resource at http://127.0.0.1/weborb/weborb.php by > requestor from > http://localhost/weborb/WebORBExample-debug/WebORBExample.swf is > denied due to lack of policy file permissions. > > Not sure what to do here. > > Thanks for the help, > timgerr > > > > > --- In [email protected], "valdhor" stevedepp@ wrote: > > > > This seems to be a convoluted way to do this. > > > > I have created a simple example to show you how I use WebOrb. > > > > On my server I have the WebORB directory at the root level.
