[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Ok, so I have the following:[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][[COLOR=#0000ff]www.mysite.com[/COLOR]](http://www.mysite.com/)  
PLAYER.SWF – contains flv player and controls.  
cross-domain-policy.xml – that allows everything.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][[COLOR=#0000ff]www.yoursite.com[/COLOR]](http://www.yoursite.com/)  
prefs.xml – contains links to flv url  
video.flv  
cross-domain-policy.xml – that allows everything.  
test.html – page with player.swf linked to from it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Sooo… If I have all the files on the same domain, everything works. The swf is designed to look for the prefs.xml file at whatever location where the html page is. I can have the swf in a location like [[COLOR=#0000ff]www.mysite.com/assets/flash/swfs[/COLOR]](http://www.mysite.com/assets/flash/swfs) and have everything else in some other funky location on that domain. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]And it works.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]BUT- If I try to have the html page and prefs and stuff on another domain, it can’t read from the prefs.xml, and I get the Error #2048. From my research, this is a cross-domain issue, but I have cross-domain policies all over the place and it’s still doing it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Any ideas folks? If you need code, you can see it here:
