The magic answer here is to serve a 'crossdomain.xml' Policy file from
localhost. This will allow the Flash Player to speak with the socket on
localhost and communicate seamlessly.
This is how IFBIN Installation works.
http://localhost:5505/crossdomain.xml
If IFBIN is installed and running, the above URL will serve a valid
crossdomain file. Once the Policy file is digested by the player, you can
then instanciate a Socket, XMLSocket, LoadVars, loadVariables, loadMovie
against the localhost domain and share data, call methods and interact.
With Socket you will need to call loadSecurityPolicy explicitly as this does
not occur automatically like it does with all other data exchange features.
The key is that the localmachine must permit interaction just as if it were
a server itself, which in this case it is. The security here is predicated
that the end user installed a executable application running on localhost.
Interacting with this application via Flash is as simple as serving the
Policy file.
If you have any problems please feel free to email me offlist at either:
