The security folks have deemed that all modules must be installed in the same AIR package as the application. SWFs from outside the package are considered cross-domain and you can't import load them.

My desired deployment model for my AIR app is a shell app that loads Modules dynamically. What I'm running into is that the only location that AIR will let me load a module from is from the app-resource directory. The problem here is that I cannot programmatically update modules, as I am not allowed to write to the app-resource directory. And any attempts to load my modules from a server fail with "SWF is not a loadable module". I've tried crossdomain.xml on the server side, but no dice. I've tried writing my modules to the app-storage directory, which I can do, but any attempts to load from this directory are met with the same error. Why does crossdomain.xml fail? Is it because the AIR app doesn't have a domain per se? Tracing ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.parentDomain returns null. It would be nice to have at least a workaround, and to know that this is a bug that will be addressed. All input appreciated.
