Hi everyone,  
I have following problem. I’m loading image from another domain and all is before i try to use it for pattern:

```auto
var pattern = new flash.display.BitmapData(loaded_mc._width, loaded_mc._height,true,0);
pattern.draw(loaded_mc);
....
beginBitmapFill(pattern);

```

i’ve add this line to my code:

```auto
System.security.allowDomain("*");

```

and on the specified domain i have crossdomain.xml

```auto
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
     <allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

```

BTW, i don’t know why but if i’m load XML from the same domain as image before i load image all works fine. i don’t know why.

Thank you for advance
