Flash AS3 - domain.com/crossdomain.xml and security error

Question

In code I use this before URLLoader (swf will be used with many different domains and this will be changing in time):

Security.allowDomain(\"*\");

Answer 1

Cross-domain policy errors are always a pain in the ass. Can you post the exact error and when you're getting it. Also, turn on policy logging: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7ec4.html

With that, you can see if the file is being loaded, if it's being superseeded by another one, or roughly why it's being rejected.

In the meantime, some links that might be useful.

Btw, setting a policy of "*" is a huge security hole.
