I have a Flex application that reads stock data from
download.finance.yahoo.com <http://download.finance.yahoo.com/>  , which
takes various parameters and returns CSV formatted text. This is the
site I used as a reference. (http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm
<http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm> ).

I have been hoping to improve upon an old classic ASP application that
relies on a data file created nightly by a service that runs on one of
our servers. I'd prefer to go right to the Yahoo source with the
Flex application.

The application runs on my desktop when accessed from the file system,
but fails with a security error when I run it from a Web server. I
suspect the issue may be a cross-domain issue, but I've read
elsewhere on the Internet that Yahoo has a cross-domain file set up for
that feed. Could I have been mislead by the Internet!?  [:)]

I've put this application – with view source enable on my
personal Website
<http://www.frontlinewebdev.com/StockQuotes/StockQuoteDisplay.html>  in
case anyone can look at it and advise me about getting it working. I
will appreciate any help that can be offered.

Thanks,
Kevin
