    LoadVariables across servers

    I am hoping someone can help me.

    I have FlashMX application that I have loading a text file created by a ColdFusion application. I get this working just fine.

    What I cant get is how to get Flash to load the variables from the .txt file from a different server. More so, is this possible while the Flash movie resides on a server running ASP?

    I'd appreciate any help or comments.

    There is a cross-domain security thing - files loaded by Flash have to come from the same domain.

    ASP can be used to get around it by getting the ASP to connect to the server in the other domain and forward the results. Simple enough, but a bit messy really.

    Thanks a lot AlsoGaiusCoffey. I figured that may have to be my resolve.
    One way or the other, I have to do it, even if it is via the messy way.

    Thanks again.
