RE: FLASH: Flash Functionality Verification

[Brad Merritt]

John,

This  was an issue with the earlier Flash plug-ins. You could load from

different domains and this was a security hazard, so the newer F4 plug-in

can only load from the same server.


So if you do load from a different domain, people who have not downloaded

the F4 plug-in in while could see it, but anyone who downloaded within the

past about 8 months (total guess on the time there) could not see it.

Subject: FLASH: Flash Functionality Verification



I  would appreciate verification, or better yet refudiation, that Flash

does not allow the loading of variables from Domains other than

the one servicng the movie. I have successfully used loadvariables by

referencing a document relatively

(somedir/somefile.asp) from a movie loaded in www.somedomain.com. What I

would like to do is load the variables

from www.someotherdomain.com/somedir/somefile.asp. This would be useful

for two reasons, one I could do some

load balancing from the client, two I could use the relative strengths

of both the Unix Perl/PHP environment and ASP

Scripting environment for different tasks. I look forward to your

comments and insights.


  Thanks,

  John Andrew Morrison
