You are right.. this works great for Actionscript 2 and the MovieClipLoader. But with Actionscript 3 you have to load images e.g. with flash.display.Loader because:
*Note:* The ActionScript 2.0 MovieClipLoader and LoadVars classes are not used in ActionScript 3.0. The Loader and URLLoader classes replace them.
and than:
If the loaded content is an image, its data cannot be accessed by a SWF file outside of the security sandbox, unless the domain of that SWF file was included in a cross-domain policy file at the origin domain of the image.
Taken from: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Loader.html
I've an API for picasa, both versions (AS2 and AS3). There is no problem with the AS2.
With AS3, the flash.display.Loader.load has second parameter LoaderContext [ http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/LoaderContext.html] where we can setup if the crossdomain.xml should be checked before loading. this does the fix with flickr, but i've tried with picasa and no luck..

Hi Dee,
I think I misunderstood how Flash's security restrictions work with images. You should be able to load the images (cross domain even!) using MovieClipLoader. Here's an example of how to do it:

Hi Dee,
This is some fallout from thecrossdomain.xml file moving to the new domain, I'll see if we can find a way to allowFlashto access images on Picasa Web Albums. Please file a bug report for updates on this:

I've got problems with this - I was happily building my picasa-powered "portfolio" site - running nicely locally, hadnt even thought about crossdomainstuff - uploaded tohttp://www.flohmedia.com/--testing/floh/portflohlio.html (not a typo :) ) and xml wouldnt load.
I went back and implemented in the AS3, Security.loadPolicyFile("http://photos.googleapis.com/data/ crossdomain.xml"); No joy, still got security sandbox violation errors popping up in the flash9 debug player.
Thought about it, my tiny brain tried to fathom how loading a cross domain policy file from a googleapis.com subdomain was pertinent to my then requesting xml from http://picasaweb.google.com/-surelyit isnt?
So potluck, tried changing the
feedhttp://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/flohmedia?kind=album
Which worked - identical atomfeed to picasaweb.com/google.com/data/ feed etc
BUT, the individual images in picasa are coming from a google.com subdomain and they wont load... and obviously thecrossdomainpolicy file is not from google.com I got this error in the debug player
Loader.content:http://www.flohmedia.com/--testing/floh/portflohlio.swf
cannot accesshttp://lh4.google.com/flohmedia/R-jl62g1n6E/AAAAAAAAAMk/cda9YgpfjCs/s.... A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
So, I went back and true enough I hadnt used a LoaderContext object, with checkPolicyFile set to true, so I did this, and came to my current brickwall,
Loader.content:http://www.flohmedia.com/--testing/floh/portflohlio.swf
cannot accesshttp://lh4.google.com/flohmedia/R-jl62g1n6E/AAAAAAAAAMk/cda9YgpfjCs/s.... No policy files granted access.
"No policy files granted access" ....
Now what? A PHP Proxy to grab all the images from google.com and serve them to myflashfile from its own server seems crazy. Surely this is surmountable. What am I missing???
Gutted. Till this point everything was going super smoothly

Hi Ivo,
To access the Picasa Data API viaflash, you want to use thehttp://photos.googleapis.com/data/crossdomain.xmlfile. That file has the correct permissions and the correct content type.
Let me know if that solves your problem!

Hello,
Seems the filehttp://photos.googleapis.com/crossdomain.xmlisserved with the content-type text/xml but it has a meta-policy of <site- control permitted-cross-domain-policies="by-content-type" /> .
According to this
https://store2.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/secure_swf_apps_...
thecrossdomain.xml needs to be served with content-type text/ [x-]cross-domain-policy .
I read on an earlier thread that the correct content type was once used. Can it be changed back?
Thanks,
- Ivo
