The Shockwave Player uses the cross- domain policy file
to allow or deny requests from Shockwave movies to load files from
external servers. When the request is made to the server, the Shockwave
Player does not invoke the Security dialog box. The request succeeds
if the cross-domain policy file in the Server allows access to the
domain.
For more information, see loadPolicyFile() in
the Scripting Dictionary.
In Adobe Director, cross-domain checking happens based on policy
files, placed on the servers. This means that even the URLs accessed
by the SWFs were being checked by the Shockwave player against the
policy file. However, Adobe Flash player does cross-domain checking
through policy files or through other security mechanisms (security.allowDomain).
The checks which were done through the latter mechanism inside Flash
player are not supported in Shockwave and because of this, the content
which were accessed by this mechanism will fail to load in Shockwave
player.
