Q: 

SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation

Hi,

I have a Loader that loads a flickr image, then I draw() the content of the Loader. I get this error:

SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: LoaderInfo.content: mywebsite/myswf.swf cannot access flickr/imageurl. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded. at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get content()

The corssdomain.xml is loaded from flickr, I did set checkPolicyFile to true for a LoaderContext that I pass as the 2nd parameter to the load() method. What am I missing?

+1  A: 

OK, I've figured out the problem. I was loading all the images from static.flickr.com and that's where the crossdomain file came from. That url gave a 302 response status and the images were actually coming from farmX.static.flickr.com. Now I've just changed the flickr url to farm4.static.flickr.com and everything is fine.

I usually add farm1 through 4 to my applications: I'm not sure whether it's ever the case that images move between farms, but it makes things more flexible either way.
