If you look at the cross-domain file deployed on the yahoo site, it's not open unless you are hosting from one of their domains: http://download.finance.yahoo.com/crossdomain.xml
<?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="*.yahoo.com" secure="false" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.yimg.com" secure="false" /> </cross-domain-policy> http://finance.yahoo.com/crossdomain.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*.yahoo.com" /> <allow-access-from domain="us.js2.yimg.com" /> </cross-domain-policy> So unless your flex app is being hosted from any yahoo.com domain or yimg.com domain, you will be denied access to the data.
