loading text file from server with no crossdomain.xml

[dirtybird]

i'm trying to load this file into a simple flash file to embed into html on my web site. here is the txt file http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/latest_obs/41035.txt
the root of that server has no crossdomain.xml however. so it won't let the text file load into it. anyway to get around this?

You could load the flash in a php page, and have the php pass the text file to flash. I haven't tested this, but someone might be able to help you with this method. Loading images would be a problem, if you need to do it. But for a text file it could work. :D

I'm pretty sure there isn't any way to do this with only flash, providing you don't pay noaa to put on a crossdomain.xml. ;)

Good luck!

Yes, to load that data, you need to have a serverside script on your own server grab it for you.

FYI, you can load images without a crossdomain.xml, but you are highly restricted in what you can do with them. For instance, you cannot apply smoothing or edit the BitmapData.

Just so you know, this was a duplicate thread, and the OP's question was answered in the other one.

Please delete this thread...

Normally, I would combine them, but I am not a moderator in this particular part of the forum.
