Hi everyone,

this is actually my very first post on Kirupa. I’d need some help with this RSS feeds I’m tryin to read via Flash. This is driving me crazy…

I made this _BlogFeed.swf_ file.  
Everything works just fine in Flash IDE. It loads the XML, renders it, displays fine and that’s it: the world is filled with love and data.

The problem occurs when I try to use my swf online.

**Here’s the scenario:**

[COLOR=DarkRed]SERVER A (Altervista)[/COLOR]  
hosts the swf file, trying to read the RSS Feed from…  
[COLOR=DarkRed]SERVER B (my client’s server)[/COLOR]  
serves the RSS Feed of his blog

**[things I already tryed]**  
**1)** I wrote a _crossdomain.xml_ file (allowing [COLOR=DarkRed]SERVER B[/COLOR] domain to access the swf), place it at the same level of the swf file on [COLOR=DarkRed]SERVER A[/COLOR];  
**2)** Set [COLOR=Blue]System.security.allowInsecureDomain("\*")[/COLOR] in the flash file  
**3)** checked on both servers the server-to-server permissions (Altervista lets you do this via its own control panel; the client’s server needed me to email the support: did it and they allowed me to connect)  
**4)** moved the swf on [COLOR=DarkRed]ANOTHER[/COLOR] server, on which I am completely sure that server-to-server communications are allowed, since I already did something like that.

Nothing changes: always getting the ■■■■ [COLOR=Blue]HTTPStatus[COLOR=Black] = 0[/COLOR][/COLOR] and no items are shown.

What I really don’t understand is why it does work from Flash IDE connecting to [COLOR=DarkRed]SERVER B[/COLOR] and it fails (with NO [COLOR=Blue]IOError[/COLOR] and [COLOR=Blue]HTTPStatus[/COLOR] = 0, so no debug hints at all…) when I use it in server-to-server mode.

I would really appreciate any help!  
thanks

Federico
