How to get around this error? I've written small Flex application to retrieve stock info in exchange for company symbol. I've used Eclipse with Flex plugin. Inside the app, I'm calling webservice on quote.yahoo.com website. I can load the html page which references the swf file (by either running it from within Eclipse, or by opening it in both IE and Firefox). This works fine, and I get some stock data back. However, if I try serving the page from one of my local servers, or even copying it (along with other supporting files) to other location on my hard drive, loading the same page results in an "Security error accessing url" from my Adobe Flash Player 9. I've even tried to use a straight HTTP post instead of a webservice call, but to no avail.
Now, I know that in order to access the data on the domain other than the one my app is running on, Adobe Flash Player requires crossdomain.xml file to be on the data server root. Yahoo indeed hosts this file at http://quote.yahoo.com/crossdomain.xml, but it only has a few entries. I simply want to read company stock info from publicly exposed service, but I see no way of adding the domain name to their crossdomain file each time someone wants to read a stock info. Any help is appreciated. Roman
