Matt: Thanks so much for the information. I was able to get the app to run in the standalone version using "File-Open" and referencing localhost. I couldn't get it to work using a crossdomain file.
However, your post got me to think hard about what I was actually doing. Obviously there is a big difference between the "local file system" and "localhost". My example was trying to mix the two which is not a good idea even if it does work. (If I'm already running the main App from the local file system, then why hassle with loading an RSL from localhost?) The solution is to either run both from the local file system or run both from localhost. I had been struggling to understand the "url" attribute in the SWS definition which is why my app was a bit convoluted initially. My solution turned out to be the following simple change to myRSL.sws: <library url="myRSL.swf"> Thanks again for your help. I can't tell you how many times I've searched FlexCoders and found answers to my problems from your posts and the posts of the other experts. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You might need a crossdomain.xml file available since the standalone is > not considered to be running from the same location as localhost in all > likelihood. > > > > What happens if you open up the standalone player, then use File - > Open > and hit http://localhost/pathtofile?
