Loading cross domain asset SWFs

Yet another irritating technical issue, it’s the first time I’ve tried loading assets from another server and it’s not working.

Apparently having the loader context check policy file does nothing with SWFs, I’ve tried with and without, no difference.

I’ve tried Security.allowDomain("*"); and loading a crossdomain.xml file where the assets are located, and no joy. Every time I try it, I just get an error trying to load a class (that works fine from local SWFs).

Very frustrating. I really need to get this working now.

I’m compiling from CS5 with access network selected. Also tried with Flex, same thing.

A solution would be much appreciated. I’m surprised it’s not easier to get working, seems like something common and simple.
