If you're accessing a domain that is not the same as that which was used to load your SWF, you will need to setup a crossdomain.xml policy file on the remote domain. This crossdomain.xml file needs to specify that the domain hosting your swfs can access it (the Flash Player will check this policy file at runtime and decide whether it should allow the connection). Many of these requirements were introduced in Flash Player 7. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer_security.html There are some further security policies in later versions of the player, but the majority of them are covered in this article. Note that when matching domain names, reverse lookup is not performed so the name must match exactly (i.e. "127.0.0.1" is not the same as "localhost" according to the policy). Pete

I'm trying to load XML file in my code which containst data about images but thats nor really relevant. Lets assume i have remote server where i run my code (domain xxxxx.net). When i point both httpservice or urlloader to http://mydomain.net/ <http://mydomain.net/> photos.xml it does work on my local machine but DOES NOT when i copy the file to that mydomain server. This is only one configuration it works on. Different scenario i tried and does not work is: loader pointing to http://mylocalmachineIP/photos.xml <http://mylocalmachineIP/photos.xml> (which is accessible from the internet) and application neither on local machine nor server works. Did anyone encountered similar problem before? I would expect httpservice to be able to access file regardless of its location if the url is valid... Thanks for help as i'm really stuck on this one.
