Method summary
Methods inherited from class Object
allowDomain (security.allowDomain method)
public static allowDomain(domain1:String) : Void
Lets SWF files and HTML files in the identified domains access objects and variables in the
SWF file that contains the
allowDomain() call.
If two SWF files are served from the same domain — for example, http://mysite.com/
movieA.swf and http://mysite.com/movieB.swf — then movieA.swf can examine and modify
variables, objects, properties, methods, and so on in movieB.swf, and movieB.swf can do the
same for movieA.swf. This is called cross-movie scripting or simply cross-scripting.
If two SWF files are served from different domains — for example, http://mysite.com/
movieA.swf and http://othersite.com/movieB.swf — then, by default, Flash Player does not
allow movieA.swf to script movieB.swf, nor movieB.swf to script movieA.swf. A SWF file
gives SWF files from other domains permission to script it by calling
System.security.allowDomain(). This is called cross-domain scripting. By calling
System.security.allowDomain("mysite.com"), movieB.swf gives movieA.swf permission
to script movieB.swf.
