Question

how to create setup crossdomain for Flash project..

Answer 1

+2 A:

Here is a copy of one that works for me
crossdomain.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"&gt;
    <cross-domain-policy>
        <allow-access-from domain="*" />
    </cross-domain-policy>

this is in my document root folder http://mysite.com/
security sucks but it will get you up and running. If you want to only connections from one domain, change "*" to "http://my-allowed-domain.com"
my permissions on the file are also really strict 644. Just make it readable. good luck!

Do I have to do anything in my flash project or I just need to place it in my server?? It's not working when I only put it in the server...+1 though

you can add System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://yourdomain.com/crossdomain.xml"); to your flash file. I have had problems with the Flash IDE caching stuff so I recommend, if you have problems, to sometimes restart Flash (if you are using the Flash IDE). This whole thing has seemed pretty buggy to me sometimes. But, it's probably just me ;)

Still not working....this is so bad....:(

-What- is not working? What are you trying to gain by having a crossdomain file on your server?

This answer's upvotes make me sad. Crossdomain policies exist for a reason: to prevent security breaches. Telling someone to use an open policy without even knowing what the problem is is like telling them to fix a connectivity problem by removing their firewall.

I guess I should have been more specific with "security sucks but it will get you up and running. If you want to only connections from one domain, change "*" to "http://my-allowed-domain.com""? cheer up dude.

Answer 2

A:

There's no substitute for reading and understanding the recommendations and articles, and determining how much access you want to allow (or posting a lot more information so we can give accurate advice). If you just put up an "allow everything" policy in order to get your application working, you potentially compromise several kinds of security your site might implement.
