this is getting painful.
i have a [COLOR=Red]swf [/COLOR]on [COLOR=Blue]local.com[/COLOR]
an [COLOR=Red]image X[/COLOR] on [COLOR=Blue]local.com[/COLOR]
and an [COLOR=Red]image Y[/COLOR] on [COLOR=Blue]remote.com[/COLOR]
if the swf loads up image X, then i am able to create a bitmapData obj and draw() from the _root to capture an image of the whole swf… which contains in it the image i just loaded. I can then use it however i want.
if the swf loads up image Y from the remote server, then when i create a bitmapdata obj and try to draw() from the _root, the bitmapData object is filled *entirely *with white pixels. useless.
the problem is that the user of the swf will be entering images dynamically, and the crossdomain.xml file must exist on the server of the loaded images, not the loading swf.
something similar used to happen when i tried to apply a bitmap effect on a movieclip holding a loaded image. the workaround was to apply the filter to a movieclip holding the movieclip with the image. one extra level of abstraction. this solution doesn’t seem to be applicable here.
has anyone solved something similar? or perhaps has something i said hinted at some brilliant solution in your mind? be brilliant.
please:)
thanks
