Wondering if I need to do something in my swf to be able to access the assets on a different server, meaning more than just specify the url to the asset. Will flash handle the ‘go get crossdomain.xml and authenticate everything’ behind the scenes or do I need to include some special code beyond simply requesting the swf file?
In the event of any cross-domain request, Flash will look for the crossdomain.xml file at the root of the domain. For example, if you are requesting an XML file from:
http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/fu/bar/Flash will check if a crossdomain.xml file exist at:
http://mysubdomin.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xmlIf you ever need to load a crossdomain.xml file from a different location, you can do it via Security.loadPolicyFile . Bear in mind that the location of this crossdomain have any impact on the security access you have.
