Please list one site which allows Flash/Silverlight access via crossdomain.xml file. Vote for your favorite sites.

The goal is to build an up to date list of sites which can be directly accessed via Flash/Silverlight without a server-side proxy.

  • A lot of these only allow access from subdomains or specific domains. Commented Dec 9, 2008 at 8:04
  • Yep - I've been going through them and noticing the same thing. Commented Dec 9, 2008 at 8:14
  • Dan, I enabled wiki mode Commented Dec 10, 2008 at 20:54
  • Java now supports crossdomain.xml too so unsigned applets can access resources on other domains that allow it in the same way as flash. From java 6 update 10 I believe. Commented Dec 12, 2008 at 14:17

The feeds a http://www.feedburner.com are accessable via the CrossDomain file. All rss feeds can be read with Silverlight.

(This may help the search a bit: googlesearch)

Flash can be 'hacked' into consuming web services from any domain by using the browser's less-restrictive security model instead of Flash's security model.

I wrote one in ActionScript 3 and passes JSON to the browser with a callback return a native JSON object back to Flash. No server-proxy or external javascript needed.

JSONP.as - http://gist.github.com/1204728

In ActionScript call:

JSONP.get("http://api.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json", 
        "{screen_name:'puppybits', count:'1'}", 
         function(data):void{ 
          trace('flash received cross-domain json:'+data)
        });

Yahoo Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/) allow access to a lot of pages and feeds that don't have crossdomain.xml files. It'll access just any page which allows indexing (robots.txt).

Amazon SimpleDB does NOT currently support crossdomain.xml or clientaccesspolicy.xml... it is huge FAIL in my opinion...

http://johndyer.name/crossdomain.xml is open.

Jon, how do you use Yahoo Pipes from Silverlight, since its crossdomain.xml is restrictive ?
