Your sites need cross domain policy files

The security sandbox for Flash has changed yet again, and this means, yet again, you have to go and make some changes to your movies. A bit more drastic this time. If you have any of the following in your SWF files (young and old)

· You're connecting to a socket server
· You're controlling another movie
· You're loading XML or variables

you have to add a cross domain policy file. Otherwise, visitors with the Flash Player 7 will see an ugly alert when they access the file. It's easy to do this and you can find more info and directions here, kindly providered up by Colin Moock: Read Moock's Tech Notes here.
