Hello, i've been pulling my hair out for the past 2 hours now trying to resolve
a:

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

here are the multiple steps i've tried to resolve this:

so i've tried these in my initialize function:

flash.system.Security.allowDomain("http://www.pica saweb.google.com");
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("http://search.y ahoo.com/");
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://localhost/crossdom ain.xml");

also:
Security.loadPolicyFile("c:\wanp\www\crossdomain.x ml");

Why do you think picasaweb or yahoo will be hitting your site?

if these policies i'm adding allow access FROM picassa (and not TO picassa),
therefore not affecting the security violation, then what is causing the
security violation? How do i fix it? Thanks again -b

You can't allow access TO picassa. Only picassa can. I think the usual
solution is to use a proxy server.

I'm not sure why it's more secure to have a server that you don't control
hit your server than a Flash file you don't control, but there you have it.

So flash player cannot get an external rss feed from picassa unless picassa has
a crossdomain.xml file that allows a flash app from my site access? If that is
the case, then i would have to use my server as a proxy... well... that just
sounds very anti-web-2.0 doen't it?

Thank you for your help- now time to proxify

That about sums it up. :-)
