I had a similar prob and found it was caused by recent security changes
to the flash player.
I was using "127.0.0.1" as the address to my gateway but it was being
ignored because it didnt match as being the same host which was being
evaluated as "localhost". So I found that changing the gateway address
to "localhost" fixed it!
Solution: on your server (local or remote), put a file "crossdomain.xml"
in the webserver's root and fiddle with its contents so it contains all
the possible varieties of the domains you want to allow access from.
e.g.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="http://www.yourdomain.co.uk" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.yourdomain.co.uk" />
<allow-access-from domain="yourdomain.co.uk" />
</cross-domain-policy>
That (I think) will solve your problem.
