[flexcoders] Re: Having trouble with swf app and proxies
I am having a similar issue with an application we hope to launch to the general public in January. In our beta testing we have clients who need to access their own special Flex app portal and currently their proxy server is looking for the crossdomain.xml policy file. Clearly we cannot expect to install the cd.xml file on remote servers. Is there a solution and if not doesn't this kill Flex as an interface for applications designed for world wide distribution ??? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Francisco Martin B. - nJooy Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello!

The proxy has IP Z and the swf has been downloaded from IP X, so there is a domain violation... Of course, the proxy doesn't know anything about flash policy files...and rejects the request. Any help? Thanks in advance, Franky

Flex is a presentation layer technology. If the security sandbox trips you up, just proxy the calls through your server platform.
