I'm getting tired of Flash's unforgiving cross-domain policy. Why can't
I read an xml-feed, content produced by a php file or a simple text file
without Flash wagging that finger in my face saying "No, no, you can't,
not without that site allowing your site access in the crossdomain.xml".
But why on earth is that so? I mean, the same file can easily be read by
an ordinary browser!? What on earth could i concoct with my devious,
malignant Flash application with the same file?
And, I've also discovered that Flex is more forgiving. I can pull in
content from another domain without said crossdomain.xml by using a
HTTPService component.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this. And,
if anyone can point out if I'm doing anything wrong here.
But please don't tell me to get my domain name into that other servers
cross-domain policy file. There are many situations where this is not
possible, and where it would still be legitimate to read content from
that site.
And, as I said before, the browser doesn't need that permission. Nor
does Flex, apparently.
