Here the documentation from Macromedia Livedocs on Cross Domain Data Loading, Moock has done a good explanation about the same. But there are times when an unusual implementation can help you in a good way. Aral has a good example of using server side script to act as a proxy between Flash and server side script to get around the sandbox security limitation (which stops Flash from directly accessing data on other domains.)
Don't like it? There are lots of published articles, pick a random one.

That is pretty simple.
I think that after the bug in FlashPlayer6 Macromedia has turned the “security sandbox” into a “security matchbox”.
Do you think that regarding server data security it is better to use a proxy script than to use the policy file?
I ask this thinking at the situations when you have flash ads on your server and you have to specify “*” for the allowed domains in the “crossdomain.xml”
