So if a user is logged into an internal system and that system has a "*" crossdomain policy file, then a malicious SWF could do whatever it wants on that system - as that user. Pretty scary stuff. -James By putting a “*” crossdomain file on your intranet you are allowing malicious SWFs to make requests to your intranet on behalf of the user.

It's needlessly flexible sure, but is there a real security concern doing this if there's no internet access? What’s the problem with a wildcard crossdomain policy on an internal network?

It will make dealing with this much easier. -James Hi Austin,

So how to compile the application with RSL, since I can not set the RSL URL directively, because in the compile period I don't know the real contextpath(IP and port) of the RSL web application.

Also, make sure you are not overriding or disabling the preloader in your application. -James Hi Arno,

I guess my thing is working now because I changed the libary url back to your .swf. I have still one question: If I load your example "test app" I get a loader that shows that he is loading Libary 0, Libary 1 and Libary 2 if I watch my example I don't see such a loader. Do I have to modify something to get that? Oh… well my thought was that you didn’t have to hack that when it is on the same domain.

In Flex Builder I Add the SWC and give my own webpage URL (example: http://www.example.com/test/SmallLinker.swf) to the SmallLinker etc. I get this error "RSL error 1 of 3" I have 4 files in the test folder now: MainView.swf, SmallLinker.swf, MediumLinker.swf and LargeLinker.swf. Is there something that I do wrong? And what? I have a question:

Thanks for pointing that out. It appears that I forgot to updated the application on www.thebetterside.com to match the one on www.jamesward.org so they were pointing to different versions of the RSLs. Clear your cache and try it again. Let me know if it works better this time. Thanks. -James Hi Arno,
