/**
- EMERGENCY: YOUR SITE NEEDS A POLICY FILE NOW!
*/
If you host Flash content that does any of the following, you need a
cross-domain policy file on your site immediately: - loads XML or variables
- controls loaded movies
- connects to an XMLSocket server
If your site does not have a cross-domain policy file, visitors using Flash
Player 7 to view your Flash Player 6 format .swfs will now see a security
alert dialog!
To create a policy file for your site, follow the steps posted here:

(Yes, this all applies to every client site you ever delivered.)
