It's unfortunate. A Flash movie can connect anywhere if it's running from your local machine. If it's served as part of a website, it can connect to the server it came from, and to servers that specifically allow Flash to connect (servers may have a special permissions file to allow Flash connections). See <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer_security.html" rel="nofollow">these</a> <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security.html" rel="nofollow">DevNet articles</a> for more information about Flash's security. Alternatively, you can create a PHP or other server-side script that does all the networking stuff and passes data to the Flash movie via XML. I made it possible for a Flash movie to search google using this idea. Macromedia put some pretty tough restrictions into Flash. It’s unfortunate.

Although this feature is great, this does seem like a limitation. Do all flash movies running some sort of socket connection require them to run from a local connection for security reasons?
