Hello,
I have a problem with cross-domain.
my swf file resides on one server but in order to show a part of it I need authorisation from another server (domain).
here is the code I am using in the swf:

System.security.allowDomain("www.seconddomain.com" );
var lv = new LoadVars();
lv._parent = this;
lv.onData = function(inString){
this._parent.textS.text = inString;
this._parent.text2.text = siteAddress;
}
idc = "638da98b-979f-48c4-bd67-a8bd10d13dcd";//id
//id - this I get from querystring.

var siteAddress:String ="http://www.seconddomain.com/Proxy/?id="+idc;
lv.load(siteAddress);


from the proxy I get false or true. this I then test and do what neccessary.
my problem: this works perfectly on the same domain where the proxy is, but not on another remote server/domain. flash does not give me the false/true from the aspx test page. any idea how I can solve this??

hi iti,
this is because you need a cross domain policy file.
Actually you have solved one part of the problem.The other part is, you have to place a cross domain policy file in the root of the domain( from which you need your swf file ).This is basically a xml file specifying which are the domains, who can get the swf file from this particular domain.

Thanks Saumya,
I will try that. do I have to restart the webserver for this? and do I have to reference this file somewhere in my swf file? In other words, how does the swf knows it is now allowed to get info from the other website? does it check to start with the crossdomain.xml?
thanks for replying
Iti

you are right iti.
You just have to re visit the page from a fresh new browser. Everything else flash takes care of.

Well I tried what you suggested and no luck. Could it be something to do with the firewall of the server?

The cross domain worked!!!. The problem was on the ISA server. Thanks Saumya, you are a great help

thank you for your kind words.
