If that is the case then why is my standalone Flash exe restricted when
I set it to allow network access only?

Isn't the context for an AIR application different to a flash
application loaded from a browser?
In the browser the flash swf is loaded from a particular domain and
access outside that domain requires the crossdomain policy.
In an Air application there is no concept of the domain that the swf
is loaded from - it's essentially a desktop application.
Flash in Air and Flash in the browser have different security models.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService object doesn't
require crossdomain-policy file
Hi, thanks for all the response to my question about the
crossdomain.xml. But... I didn't get a lot of response to the fact
that HTTPService can access public feeds/content on other sites
without the need of a crossdomain.xml
Please check out the code included at the end of this post. I've
created a small AIR application (with a certificate) and it works
without a problem.
Am I missing something?
But again.. if my Flash app isn't allowed to access content on
another site, I can always throw together a simple php-script that
extracts the content for me that my Flash then can read...
And then I can go ahead and create my evil banner ad. ;-)
I understand that crossdomain policy files are here to stay. I just
don't understand why they don't allow me to access content on other
domains that I can access in other ways and then pass on to Flash.
