So why does an SWF running on my desktop load data across domains, but not an SWF on a webpage?
coz your desktop is not a domain
LOL! Great answer!
Let me be more specific. Why is the reasoning behind allowing the data to my desktop and now allowing it on a webpage?
security issues.
the swf on your desktop, was probably, made by that site, and so, it won´t present any harm for them. but if we could make our own swfs that steal data from other servers, or download games from other servers and put in our own servers…
MAYHEM!!!
