Hi,

I am doing a call to a servlet from an swf file using URLLoader and URLRequest objects, with a url in the form of

["http://localhost:8080/wordcheck/WordCheck?words=someword](http://localhost:8080/wordcheck/WordCheck?words=someword)"

with the swf published into the webroot of localhost.

This all works fine in internet explorer, but not in Firefox/Opera, which always returns httpStatus 0, which I’m guessing is flash security not allowing this server call to take place.

I thought that server calls to the same domain were allowed under the security model.  
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong ?

Thanks for any help or advice.
