Sometimes it's not obvious from debugging that the lack of a crossdomain.xml file is at issue. Perhaps you could list some common symptoms of malformed or non-existent crossdomain.xml files?

Great feedback. Anyone else?

A suggestion: An issue that is not obvious to those who are not web/network administratiors is: "Where do I put the crossdomain.xml file". While I bet this is discussed on more than one of the links you provide, consider a quick paragraph on the subject, for additional convenience. The usual response: "In the root of the web server" is not enough for non-experts. Include an example path for, say the default integrated Flex 1.5 install, one for a default Tomcat install, and one for a default IIS install. I figured mine out by putting a full access crossdomain file in every possible folder until my call worked, then deleting them until I broke it again. This showed me the right place. You see why I am not offering to provide the examples!

This particular crossdomain.xml file needs to permit access to use low/high ports for inbound connections. It is identical to the process needed to support XMLSocket servers. The use of crossdomain policy files prevents Flash/Flex clients from abusing other peoples servers. As permission is delegated to the server owner, they can decide what ports Flash Player can connect to. Example: <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="507" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.foo.com" to-ports="507,516" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.bar.com" to-ports="516-523" /> <allow-access-from domain="www.foo.com" to-ports="507,516-523" /> <allow-access-from domain="www.bar.com" to-ports="*" /> </cross-domain-policy> I put together this small site on crossdomain policy files. It doesn't have any glits and gives you the bare bones knowledge on using crossdomain. http://www.crossdomainxml.org http://www.crossdomainxml.org IFBIN on Flexcoders!!!! You just made my day! Go IFBIN!

Now that he´s free, I try to test something but it just don´t work. Don´t give me any errors. Seems to be a security issue, like crossdomain, but I can´t figure out the real problem.
