System.security.allowDomain() 845

The opposite situation can also occur; that is, you might create a child SWF file that wants to

allow its parent to script it, but doesn’t know what the domain of its parent will be. In this

situation, call

System.security.allowDomain(_parent._url) from the child SWF. In this

situation, you don’t have to wait for the parent SWF file to load; the parent will already be loaded

by the time the child loads.

Example

The SWF file located at www.macromedia.com/MovieA.swf contains the following lines:

System.security.allowDomain("www.shockwave.com");

loadMovie("http://www.shockwave.com/MovieB.swf", my_mc);

Because MovieA contains the allowDomain() command, MovieB can access the objects and

variables in MovieA. If MovieA didn’t contain this command, the Flash security implementation

would prevent MovieB from accessing MovieA’s objects and variables.
