Re: [flexcoders] URLRequest and crossdomain.xml

Thanks Carson, that had always been my understanding, but then I read this line in the docs that made it seem like I also needed a cross domain file in order to "call out":

 

To load data from a different domain, place a cross-domain policy file on the server that is hosting the SWF file.

 

In any case, thanks for the clarification.

Actually you need the crossdomain.xml file on the other servers, not your own. The purpose of the file is to allow access to swfs downloaded from other domains to that swfs don't get inside a network and start grabbing data from otherwise protected servers.  This is a commonly misunderstood point.

Subject: [flexcoders] URLRequest and crossdomain.xml

Hi all,

 

I'm working with the URLRequest function and I've got a quick question. According to the docs - http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/net/URLRequest.html - I need a crossdomain.xml file on the server that is hosting my SWF if I want to be allowed to go out and grab data from other domains. But while I'm testing the SWF on my computer, just compiling with Flex Builder, where do I need to put the crossdomain.xml file? Is it even possible to test the URLRequest function in this manner?

 

Thanks,

 

=Ryan
