macromedia flash sitedesign: Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash site without having
the flashplayer prompt you to change your settings and allow access to that
page? (this only applies to swfs viewed through a browser)
the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you have to put a
small xml file on the host server where the page you want to link to is
located. i seriously doubt every site you want to link to will allow you to put
an xml file on their host server just so you can link to their page. the code
in the xml file just tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access
is safe. it's called crossdomain.xml
anyone have an answer?
thanks!

Answer

no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you try to open the
html locally and (try to) access something on the internet.

unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no security issue. if
your local computer is an internet server, you just need to set the security
settings for your local file and give it permission to access the internet zone.
