Thanks for the links. I'm pretty sure it's not a crossdomain.xml, or security sandbox problem tho.
One thing to clarify: I'm using MDM Studio right now. I might be using SWF Studio later, but in both cases, just to use their UDP functionality. This is a client/server application. The server is receiving packets fine, I have port forwarding set up appropriately on the server end. The client's firewall is stopping UDP traffic. Because it's a game, I want as little setup on the client side as possible. The client shouldn't care about port forwarding, proxies, and whatnot. The server can do a ton of configuration for all I care, but the client shouldn't have to do anything beyond knowing where the server is. --- "Palmer, Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I usually solve this by setting up a proxy on a host > accepting data from flash apps through a "known" > port.
