Cross-domain policy

Issue:

  • Unable to load variables or XML data into a Flash movie from another domain/subdomain.
  • Unable to load swf or flv into Flash movie from another domain/subdomain.

Reason:
For security reasons, data loading operations (load, loadMovie, loadVariables, & etc.) from a different domain is not permitted.

Solution:
Create a cross-domain policy file (crossdomain.xml) and place on the site root of the server you wish to access with the movie.

Cross-domain policy files is a simple XML file that gives the Flash Player permission to access data from a given domain without displaying a security dialog, the file can be created in a simple text editor such as Notepad or SimpleText.

Additional Information:
crossdomainxml.org
