Brett I use an actionscript include file and this file actually does all my connection stuff, so it doesnt matter what environment your in, you can always change it via the inclue rather than having to get into the FLA to change stuff.
Anotherway would be to pass the domain in via the flashVars param in the object embed. Just output the value using your CF code and access the var in your flash. THis way its always dynamic and you dont have to change anything at all.

Being a Flash newbie, yes this is my first question on fugli, I'm wondering about this security issue of not being able to access a swf other than with the same top level URL. Specifically in terms of the shift from development to production, which are obviously going to have different URLs. I've just published my first SWF in production and changed the URL in the createGatewayConnection call to be the URL of the production environment. It worked but I'm guessing that this is not best practice. So what is the best way to manage this? Can Flash do a 'getURL' call to find out the home address and use that in the connection, or is there a cleaner more elegant solution?
