[Pete] I did see that, but was looking around at samples for loading custom policy files over a socket and must have cut and pasted one that included the xmlsocket: in the protocol. But protocols aside, I think the next paragraph explains your issue and it is not related to policy files at all... > I believe I remember reading something about that in > the Flex documentation that it has to do with it being > a Socket connection to a port under 1024. [Pete] Ah, yes, you're right. It is listed as an explicit security error in the documentation if one attempts to connect to a port less than 1024. From my reading of this documentation it is mentioned as a restriction independent of any security sandbox policies. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/net/Socket.html#event:sec urityError
