I’m having some difficulty getting my cross domain policy to work.
I have an swf at http://www.server.com/ that loads in XML and other files. I want to be able to embed that swf in other HTML pages (YouTube stylee) that aren’t in the same domain. It works fine when access via it’s local server http://www.server.com/my.swf or http://www.server.com/swf.html but when I try to embed it won’t load the XMLs and/or gives me a Security sandbox violation

The published SWF is set to Security.REMOTE

crossdomain.xml allows all:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
 <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

Hope you can help

UPDATE 1

An example of the embed code is:

<!-- Embedding -->
<object width='400' height='300'>
<param name='movie' value='http://www.server.com/my.swf'></param>
<param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'></param>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'></param>
<param name='FlashVars' value="stream=1281002679" ></param>
<embed src='http://www.server.com/my.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' width='400' height='300'></embed>
</object>

… which could be added to any webpage on any domain

UPDATE 2

policyfiles.txt (192.168.100.55 is my local testing server containing embedded example):

OK: Root-level SWF loaded: http://www.server.com/my.swf
OK: Searching for <allow-access-from> in policy files to authorize data loading from resource at http://192.168.100.55/data/configuration.xml?refresh=0.2777715688571334 by requestor from http://www.server.com/my.swf
Warning: Failed to load policy file from http://192.168.100.55/crossdomain.xml
Error: Request for resource at http://192.168.100.55/data/configuration.xml?refresh=0.2777715688571334 by requestor from http://www.server.com/my.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.

flashlog.txt extract
Warning: Failed to load policy file from http://192.168.100.55/crossdomain.xml

Do I need to load the crossdomain.xml via Security.loadPolicyFile('http://www.server.com/crossdmoain.xml')??

    error: Request for resource at http://192.168.100.55/data/configuration.xml?refresh=0.2777715688571334 by requestor from http://www.server.com/my.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.

    It looks like your swf tries to load the configuration file from your local server instead of your http://www.server.com

    You should use an absolute path
