You mean that this works when you "test" your movie from within Flash? It's
supposed to. The security settings will take effect once the browser or Flash
Player loads the file.

I ran into the same issue when doing some testing on some of Yahoo! API stuff.
Thought it was working great (because I was testing in Flash) then posted to my
site and it didn't work.
