Alexander, I don't know if your question is still up-to-date. I do not have much experience in AS3 external content loading, but this should be similar to AS2.0....
You can load any images without any security grants from any domain you like. The restriction is added to objects that are related to the container were you load your content. In case of using external domain images a good idea is loading them into a nested container, which has a Sprite or MovieClip parent. To resize the image you can resize its parent container. Stage -> some_container[MC] -> image_parent_container[MC] -> drop_zone[MC] The drop_zone is were you load the external content, e.g. an image. The image_parent is completely accessible to your code so you can scale it, fade it, mask it etc. If the parent container holds only your drop_zone, then any operation on its size will be mapped to the drop_zone. hth g Friday, December 25, 2009 (7:11:51 PM) Alexander Farber wrote: > Oh, I think I start to understand: > my Event.INIT callback _is_ being called. > But once it tries to access Loader.content > for resizing the loaded image, > then I get the SecurityError. > On Fri, Dec 25, 2009 at 6:22 PM, Alexander Farber > <alexander.far...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I have an AS3 game hosted at my site http://preferans.de >> which displays resized avatars of gamers.
