Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation:

Question

I have created a crosdomain policy file, I have added code to my flex app, and I still get security sandbox violation...have I done something wrong? Here are my errors and file snippets:

Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/media/swf_demo.swf cannot load data from http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/media/locXML.xml.

swf_demo.swf is my flex application

The following lines have been added to my flex application:

Security.allowDomain("mysite.com");
Security.allowDomain("www.mysite.com");
Security.allowDomain("http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/media/locXML.xml");

During my init() function, my first line reads:

Security.loadPolicyFile("http://mysite.com/crossdomain.xml");

Here is my crossdomain.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.mysite.com" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

why is it throwing this error? I have to be doing something wrong...

Answer 1

www.mysite.com and mysite.com are different sites when it comes to crossdomain security. If your SWF is on the same site as your data then your don't need a crossdomain.xml policy. I would recommend redirecting users from mysite.com to www.mysite.com so that then everything would come from the same site and no policy file would be needed.
