There is a way to circumvent the need for an entry in a
crossdomain.xml file on the WS host (google.com in this case). You
need to setup a destination in the fds-proxy.xml file and then use
the "destination" attribute of the mx:WebService tag.
<mx:WebService id="api_call" destination="adwords"
showBusyCursor="true" result="ResultHandler(event)"
fault="FaultHandler(event)"
useProxy="true" makeObjectsBindable="false" >
<mx:operation name="getAllJobs" result="showResults()"
fault="FaultHandler(event)">
<mx:request/>
</mx:operation>
</mx:WebService>
<!-- Example soap proxy adapter destination -->
<destination id="adwards">
<properties>
<!-- The location of the wsdl defined for soap proxy
services -->
<wsdl>https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v4/ReportService?
WSDL</wsdl>
<!-- The soap endpoints available for access defined for
soap proxy services -->
<soap>*</soap>
</properties>
<!-- A specific adapter ref for the destination may be
defined -->
<adapter ref="soap-proxy"/>
</destination>
That all being said what sort of credentials are you using? Can you
provide a sample of your actual code? let me know and I'd be happy
to look into this further.
