Ok how do I fix this?

Loading image data from remote server (allowed). Works local but not online. I'm using an Image loader class.

you have to add context to the loader......

import flash.system.LoaderContext;

        var context:LoaderContext;
        var loader:Loader

context = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;

loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/Images/4pic.png"),context); 

the above code is not meant to be copied and pasted directly you will have to sort it out into your class file.

@calmchess: I challenge that your reply is WRONG. I've been tackling this same query and it still does not work. Here is the specifications of the problem (similar to blanius - but more detail)

I am making a game leaderboard on facebook. I'm not using f-connect but working inside the canvas. When I try to load the images from facebook it gives me the following error:

SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://test cannot access http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/2...10588_2173.jpg
A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.

Here is my loader code

public var preLoader:Loader;
preLoader=new Loader();
**update**
Security.loadPolicyFile('http://api.facebook.com/crossdomain.xml');
Security.allowDomain('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net');
Security.allowInsecureDomain('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net');
**update-end**


public function imageContainer(Imagewidth:Number,Imageheight:Numbe r,url:String,path:String) {
preLoader=new Loader();

Security.loadPolicyFile("http://api.facebook.com/crossdomain.xml");
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

preLoader.load(new URLRequest(path),context);

Any Ideas? I am importing the right class though.

UPDATE: I am loading the images from a different domain say , calling func http://fahim.com images are from http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/2...10588_2173.jpg
something ( I have made sure the pictures are static and do not require a facebook login or anything , they are just user public profile pictures)

OK thanks dude, I'll have to dump the class, not a big deal just convenient.
Sheez why do they make it so complicated anyway!
I read the Adobe docs on LoaderContext but didn't see how to link it to the loader.

[calmchess]

shrugs i don't know blanius I just had the same problem as you added the above code to my loader and the problem of loading images dissapeared.....worked for me sorry it didn't work for you.

[blanius]

Oh I think it will work, I was using a image loader class that made loading images easier, so I'll have to not use it here and do it manually which is probably what you are doing.
