can the developers please add a crossdomain.xml file in the web server root so Flash apps can access the API? e.g. http://api.eve-online.com/crossdomain.xml

it's a plain xml file which allows Flash apps to access external data without security errors or warnings.

more info about this:

Sorry for my ignorance as I am no Flash dev but... why Flash needs that stuff ? (In simpler words than the white paper linked on the url you gave).

Purely for my own knowledge. Wink

... oh and dude... your face...

why not just setup your own php site and have the flash pull that data from that?

The Flash plugin has a security sandbox which only allows calls from the same domain.

e.g if my flash movie is on http://test.com/movie.swf i can only access http://test.com/test.php but not http://test2.com/test.php.

by adding a crossdomain.xml file on another domain, you allow flash movies from another website to access your data.

Adobe's notes on this:

Popsikle: that's an alternative but most free php webhosts don't allow 'proxy' php scripts for security reasons

If you use Adobe's Apollo framework, you can bypass it alltogether I believe, and at the same time deploy whatever you build to a server and multi platform clients. Neat stuff.
