Flash crossdomain.xml file

here is a page on the Adobe site which demystify everything about the cross doamain xml file settings.
~~http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html~~
updated 25/10/09:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html
This file sits on the server where the data is being pulled from.

here is an example which will let everything through:

< ?xml version="1.0"?>
< !DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
< cross-domain-policy>

< site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
< allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
< allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>

< /cross-domain-policy>
