I don't have specifics for #2 right now, but regarding #1, the cross-domain file will need to exist for the servers t hat are actually serving the images. I seem to remember something similar happening over at Flickr 6 minths ago where the API had a cross-domain, but none of the image farms did. They (Flickr) eventually rectified the situation.
For #2, try reading this blog article, or teh comments off of it for clues. http://www.yswfblog.com/blog/2007/08/29/flickr-now-even-more-flash-friendly/ There's some sample code (in response to my question about something very similar): var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); context.checkPolicyFile = true; loader.load(URLRequestToFlickr, context); Hope this points you in the right direction --- In [email protected], "noam.malter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Tod, > > 2 things: > > 1.
