Thanks guys - but no joy - I have crossdomain.xml (which is set to allow any domain) in the doc root on the server side and also in the same directory as the swf. I still get the security error.
Regarding the LoadPolicyFile question - I tried to load it from https://serverdomain.com:9443/ - not from 'mydomain' - thinking about it, this may be kinda dumb - I'll try loading it from 'mydomain' instead. However if this works, then there's something I don't really understand... Isn't the point of the crossdomain.xml file to control whether or not the Flashplayer can access the remote domain and therefore should be hosted ON that remote domain ? If you can host it locally and therefore change it to whatever you like, then what's the point in having the control there at all ?
