Reminder: Loading images from a CDN (AS3).

I periodically come across this issue, like this morning. Security Error #2122 is thrown on a redirected remote load, asking that the checkPolicyFile flag be set to true. Only issue is that Flash Player doesn’t seem to load the crossdomain.xml on a redirect, regardless of checkPolicyFile being set to true.

I’ve written a little bit on remote content loading before. Steven Sacks (via Jesse Warden) has the most straightforward solution and the one that I’ve been using the most: http://www.stevensacks.net/2008/12/23/solution-as3-security-error-2122-with-300-redirects/.
