Ok I have got to the bottom of the problem - it appears to be because the client signed the security certificate themselves. When I tested with a link to an xml file on another server with a https url, it worked fine.
Ah well - at least I can move forward now.

The cross-domain policy xml does not contain protocol references, so I'm not certain if that is the issue. If it works using HTTP, then I wouldn't think the domain would be the issue. But I'm pretty newbie to Flash, so someone else can probably set it straight. _________________________________________________________________ Need a brain boost? Recharge with a stimulating game.
