Hello, :bucktooth: I have been having problems with policy files I personally hate them because I could never get one to work. So I placed this code in my swf:

```auto
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.entracity.web44.net/crossdomain.xml")

System.security.allowDomain( "http://www.entracity.web44.net" ); 

```

and I placed the policy file in my root directory and its using a wild card. Still my swf wont connect to my socket server it just times out can anyone help me please? i’ll consider donating

edit: I figured out the xml on my site wont work because sockets dont work with http so anyone know how I could make a policy server can someone try to give me a mini one I could use that would be awesome. Thanks, Basses.
