I don't see the point of restricting access to BitmapData from another
server when all you have to do to get at it is use a proxy script on
your own server. Here's an example:

I am not sure this is relevant to the discussion but:
Your proxy trick will not work to access resources from local machines
within a client's NAT. The flash player could potentially access those
since it is already located behind the NAT.
What I mean is that the flash player might have network

What is you put the loaded image into an empty MC and then captured the
BitmapData of the MC you created? Does the security traverse the MC tree

I've just tried loading the image into a nested clip but it's still
