The problem with forcing this security in the IDE is that I want to debug my application without uploading my application to the secure production environment.
Maybe I am a third party company creating a widget for a company with some web services. I want to be able to build the application without any security restrictions and then give it to my client to install on their servers later. What you can do: If you want to check for these kinds of restrictions and develop this way, you can install a web server*** and publish to your tomcat directory. 1. Install and run tomcat*** 2. Setup your Flex Build Path: Right click your project, from the menu select Properties then choose "Flex Build Path" A. Set Output folder to c:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\yourapp B. Set Output folder URL to http://localhost/yourapp/ If these restrictions were in place then most developers would have to go through those steps PLUS the following to get around the issue: 1. add a fake domain to the crossdomain of the server (which may be inaccessible. 2. add the fakedomain to your host file and point it to your application 127.0.0.1 fakedomain.com So if your question is why does this work this way? I think the answer is pretty straight forward, it would take a great deal of effort to develop anything using the Flex/Flash IDE. I hope this is helpful(?) ***(There are a plethora of quick drag and drop installations that include Tomcat two off the top of my head are EasyPHP (google easyphp) and also 30 minute Flex Test Drive for JavaDevelopers (Conreats.org) You basically install these or unzip them to c:\tomcat and they pretty much install themselves.) --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I do not know this as a certainty, but I suspect when FB installs, it > puts itself in a "trusted" sandbox/folder.
