I tried to convince them to look at the shim.swf solution but to no avail. I think they are correct to not use an open crossdomain.xml.

There is the proxy approach:

I downloaded the PHP from the web and it just worked

I take no credit for this code the coder was from: http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/proxy_info.php

The flash code is very simple:

System.security.allowDomain("*"); var myXML:XML; var myXMLurl:String; function albumbXMLmanager(myXMLURLS:String) { // I know picasa has an restrictive crossdomain.xml myXMLurl =
"http://www.swiftaction.co.uk/php/GetVarsAndProxy.php?<http://www.swiftaction.co.uk/php/GetVarsAndProxy.php?"+myXMLURLS> "+myXMLURLS<http://www.swiftaction.co.uk/php/GetVarsAndProxy.php?url=http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/iamtheantiroot?kind=album&alt=rss&hl=en_US> ; myXML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite = true; myXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) { xmlLoaded(success); }; myXML.load(myXMLurl); } function xmlLoaded(mySuccess:Boolean) { myNewXML.text = myXML; } albumbXMLmanager("*url= http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/YOURuesrNAME?kind=album&alt=rss&hl=en_US *";);

So as you can see with the variable myXMLurl value I pass to the server side PHP the path to the feed I require. No crossdomain policy needed.
