That's the catch 22 of crossdomain swfs. We expect to have better support for crossdomain flex apps, but not in the next release as it is quite a bit of work.
If the two apps are in the same sandbox, you can get to loader.content and call setActualSize to size it differently. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ivansebastiansurya Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 5:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Secuity sandbox violation when SwfLoader is used to load swf file from a URL Hi everyone, I did manage to get my application working. What I had to do was put Security.allowDomain("*") in my parent swf movie. However, I got two issues: 1. The sub movie doesn't get scaled properly (no scrollbar although it's needed as the submovie is bigger than the space if not scaled) and it doesn't work if they are in different domain, e.g. parent movie is in www.abc.com and submovie is in www.ade.com 2. If I host both the parent and child movie from the same host but in different webapps, the application loads and scaled properly, however, the child application can't interact with its servlets which provides its data. So at the moment it only works if I put both the parent and child (sub) movie in the same webapps, i.e. I put the parent movie in the webapp folder of the child movie and run it from tomcat. Any idea?
