I see now that Flash 9 requires a policy file to open a socket connection. I can't find any good material on how to setup this policy file. I don't really want to have to create a seperate server (Java) on port 843 and I've read that you can set one up on the socketing-requesting port (6000 in my case). One site I read (http://www.lightsphere.com/dev/artic...et_policy.html) says to simply reply with the following text:
"<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>"
I do get the String request "<policy-file-request/>" from the flash client but when I sent that <cross-domain-policy....reply it did nothing. The socket just sits there waiting.
There other strange thing is that this seems to be a problem with Firefox only. I tried it with IE7 and it makes the request but then keeps on sending/recieving data...even without the policy file reply.
Anyone know more on this topic and how I can get the FF version to work?
Thanks in advance.
