Jeff, now that the tag search has been fixed on the google end I am getting odd behavior from image calls I am trying to make from Flash. Still unable to get the public to see my public images.
Locally: calls to this thumb work: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hacMegFKdtM/SWfAuT1zWvI/AAAAAAAACs4/QRbrDjSZPdU/s144/AAD_3321.jpg calls to this image work: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hacMegFKdtM/SWfAuT1zWvI/AAAAAAAACs4/QRbrDjSZPdU/AAD_3321.jpg Online: calls to this thumb work: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hacMegFKdtM/SWfAuT1zWvI/AAAAAAAACs4/QRbrDjSZPdU/s144/AAD_3321.jpg calls to this image DO NOT work: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hacMegFKdtM/SWfAuT1zWvI/AAAAAAAACs4/QRbrDjSZPdU/AAD_3321.jpg If I paste the large imageURL into a browser I can get the image no problem. Is there some reason that Flash would be restricted permission to view the large image online, but not the thumb? I am using: System.security.loadPolicyFile(" http://photos.googleapis.com/data/crossdomain.xml";); and my XML calls where I find the image location are all via http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday?<http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday?tag=nature&kind=photo> album/RecentWork?tag=nature<http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?tag=nature> I can't seem to find any other direct URL to a large image that is under the photo.googleapis domain where the crossdomain would work, but I find the difference in behavior between the thumb and full image size, and local vs online puzzling. It does NOT matter if I am looked into google for both local and online tests, the results are the same.
