flash: loading data from www.domain.com vs domain.com · Jun 2, 02:38 pm
every now and then I encounter an issue where I want to load XML, images or other data into a flash movie. loading data works from www.mysite.com, but not from http://mysite.com. if i’m publishing to flash player 7 or 8 there are some security concerns i often forget about:
you may need to create a file called crossdomain.xml and upload it to the root of your server.
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="" />
</cross-domain-policy>you will want to determine the site you’re trying to access (say – yellowpencil.com) and add that to the parameters if you want to restrict access to the server you are trying to reach (generally a good idea).
<allow-access-from domain="www.yellowpencil.com" secure="false" />the domain=”www.yellowpencil.com” is where you add your particular domain you’d like to allow, and
secure=”false” states whether it is a secure connection or not.
the easiest way to tell is to look at the http statement (is it http – secure=”false”, or https – secure=”true”)
you’ll also need to add some code in your flash movie.
System.security.allowDomain("yellowpencil.com", "www.yellowpencil.com");see the help files in flash for more information about System.security.allowDomain.
this code in an XML file and your flash movie should prevent any users from seeing a popup box in their flash warning about security risks.
