Hi guys,

I uploaded swf files to a webserver and I’m trying to connect to a PHP file in subdomain which retrieves some data from a database.

When I test the swf files locally I get results but when I test them online I get the following security warning:  
“[domainx.com](http://domainx.com) is attempting to read from [office.domainx.com](http://office.domainx.com). This is a potentially insecure operation. Do you want to allow it?”

I’ve been reading about in the Macromedia TechNotes and in this forum. It says something about XML files but I don’t understand it. Hope someone can explain to me what I should do to hide this pop-up.

Help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!! 🙂
