Flickr API & crossdomain.xml

My flickr stream is not loading onto the page. I am using the following code to make it work:
Security.allowDomain("http://api.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://api.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
I also did always allow in the HTML. Is there a problem with that code?

Thank you Andrel1!
I needed to call them all. This code worked:
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://api.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://farm1.static.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://farm2.static.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://farm3.static.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://farm4.static.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml");

Crossdomain.xml for cooliris and iweb

Hi,
I have been trying to embed a Cooliris wall in a HTML snippet in one of my iWeb pages. So far I have been successful to do that with Cooliris generic feed and flickr API feed. However, when I try to use a feed for my photos on my mobile web site, it tells me that I need the crossdomain.xml file in the root of my webserver. I have created this file in my iDisk->Web->Sites folder but it still fails to display the wall. My feed is good as I have validated it with feedvalidator.org so I wonder if this crossdomain.xml file should go anywhere else.
Has anyone has successfully embedded a Cooliris wall using a iWeb feed? I'd be curious how they did that. Or if anyone else has an idea of what I should do to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
J. Terrazas

I was able to embed the demo Cooliris Wall in a test page by adding the code provided at the site:
<object id="o" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="570" height="338"><param name="movie" value="http://apps.cooliris.com/embed/cooliris.swf?feed=api%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr. com%2F" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://apps.cooliris.com/embed/cooliris.swf?feed=api%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.co m%2F" width="570" height="338" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" /></object>
I don't know is your code is similar buy you can view the results here.

How to reload cached crossdomain.xml

Hi, All
When I request remote data from different server for the
first time, flash automatically requests crossdomain.xml. For
subsequent calls it does not load crossdomain.xml but uses cached
permissions. This makes sence.
Problem.
Assume server was offline at time of the first call. Flash
fails to load crossdomain.xml and blocks all subsequent calls. Even
if server went online, no subsequent remote calls will succeed.
I hoped to fine some API to reset permissions cache. But the
only workaround I found is to reload .swf (acutally I remove OBJECT
from DOM and reinsert it).
Is there a better solution? Or this is Flash bug?
Thanks,
- Alex

Found the answer adding loadData() before the sort.
Order by <div onclick="dsGroups.loadData();"
spry:sort="dsPupils @firstname”>First Name</div>
< div onclick="dsGroups.loadData();" spry:sort="dsPupils
@lastname">Last Name</div>

Multiple plugtmp-1 plugtmp-2 etc. in local\temp folder stay , crossdomain.xml and other files containing visited websitenames created while private browsing

OS = Windows 7
When I visit a site like youtube whith private browsing enabled and with the add-on named "shockwave flash" in firefox add-on list installed and activate the flashplayer by going to a video the following files are created in the folder C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\plugtmp-1
plugin-crossdomain.xml
plugin-strings-nl_NL-vflLqJ7vu.xlb
The contents of plugin-crossdomain contain both the "youtube.com" adress as "s.ytimg.com" and is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="s.ytimg.com"/> <allow-access-from domain="*.youtube.com"/> </cross-domain-policy>
The contents of the other file I will spare you cause I think those are less common when I visit other sites but I certainly don't trust the file. The crossdomain.xml I see when I visit most other flashpayer sites as well.
I've also noticed multiple plugin-crossdomain-1.xml and onwards in numbers, I just clicked a youtube video to test, got 6 of them in my temp plus a file named "plugin-read2" (no more NL file cause I changed my country, don't know how youtube knows where I'm from, but that's another subject, don't like that either). I just noticed one with a different code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>
So I guess this one comprimises my browsing history a bit less since it doesn't contain a webadress. If these files are even meant to be deposited in my local\temp folder. The bigger problem occurs when they stay there even after using private browsing, after clearing history, after clearing internet temporary files, cache, whatever you can think of. Which they do in my case, got more than 50 plugtmp-# folders in the previous mentioned local\temp folder containing all website names I visited in the last months. There are a variety of files in them, mostly ASP and XML, some just say file. I have yet to witness such a duplicate folder creation since I started checking my temp (perhaps when firefox crashes? I'd say I've had about 50 crashes in recent months).
I started checking my temp because of the following Microsoft Security Essential warnings I received on 23-4-12:
Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.HE
containerfile:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp
file:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp->pong/reversi.class
and...
Exploit:Java/CVE-2008-5353.ZT
containerfile:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp
file:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp->Testability.class
Microsoft Security Essentials informed me that these files were quarantained and deleted but when going to my temp file they were still there, I deleted them manually and began the great quest of finding out what the multiple gigabytes of other files and folders were doing in that temp folder and not being deleted with the usual clearing options within firefox (and IE).
Note that I have set my adobe flasplayer settings to the most private intense I could think of while doing these tests (don't allow data storage for all websites, disable peer-to peer stuff, don't remember exactly anymore, etc.). I found it highly suspicious that i needed to change these settings online on an adobe website, is that correct? When right-clicking a video only limited privacy options are available which is why I tried the website thing.
After the inital discovery of the java exploit (which was discovered by MSE shortly after I installed and started my first scan with Malwarebytes, which in turn made me suspicious whether I had even downloaded the right malwarebytes, but no indication in the filename if I google it). Malwarebytes found nothing, MSE found nothing after it said it removed the files, yet it didn't remove them, manually scanning these jar_cache files with both malwarevytes and MSE resulted in nothing. Just to be sure, I deleted them anyways like I said earlier. No new jar_cache files have been created, no exploits detected since then. CCleaner has cleaned most of my temp folder, I did the rest, am blocking all cookies (except for now shortly), noscript add-on has been running a while on my firefox (V 3.6.26) to block most javascripts except from sites like youtube. I've had almost the same problem using similar manual solutions a couple of months ago, and a couple of months before that (clearing all the multiple tmp folders, removing or renaming jar_cache manually, running various antmalware software, full scan not finding a thing afterwards, installing extra add-ons to increase my security, this time it's BetterPrivacy which I found through a mozilla firefox https connection, I hope, which showed me nicely how adobe flash was still storing LSO's even after setting all storage settings to 0 kb and such on the adobe website, enabling private browsing in firefox crushed those little trolls, but still plugtmp trolls are being created, help me crush them please, they confuse me when I'm looking for a real threat but I still want to use flash, IE doesn't need those folders and files, or does it store them somewhere else?).
I'm sorry for the long story and many questions, hope it doesn't scare you away from helping me fight this. I suspect it's people wanting to belong to the hackergroup Anonymous who are doing this to my system and repeating their tricks (or the virus is still there, but I've done many antivirus scans with different programs so no need to suggest that option to me, they don't find it or I run into it after a while again, so far, have not seen jar_cache show up). Obviously, you may focus on the questions pertaining firefox and plugtmp folders, but if you can help me with any information regarding those exploits I would be extremely grateful, I've read alot but there isn't much specific information for checking where it comes from when all the anti-virus scanners don't detect anything anymore and don't block it incoming. I also have downloaded and installed process monitor but it crashes when I try to run it. The first time I tried to run it it lasted the longest, now it crashes after a few seconds, I just saw the number of events run up to almost a million and lots of cpu usage. When it crashed everything returned back to normal, or at least that's what I'm supposed to think I guess. I'll follow up on that one on their forum, but you can tell me if the program is ligit or not (it has a microsoft digital signature, or the name micosoft is used in that signature).

update:
I haven't upgraded my firefox yet because of a "TVU Web Player" plugin that isn't supported in the new firefox and I'm using it occasionally, couldn't find an upgrade for it. Most of my other plugins are upgraded in the green (according to mozilla websitechecker):
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 (green)
Shockwave for Director (green - from Adobe I think)
Shockwave Flash (green - why do I even need 2 of these adobe add-ons? can I remove one? I removed everything else i could find except the reader i think, I found AdobeARM and Adobe Acrobat several versions, very confusing with names constantly switching around)
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.310.5 (green, grrr, again a second java, why do they do this stuff, to annoy people who are plagued with java and flash exploits? make it more complicating?)
Adobe Acrobat (green, great, it's still there, well I guess this is the reader then)
TVU Web Player for FireFox (grey - mentioned it already)
Silverlight Plug-In (yellow - hardly use it, I think, unless it's automatic without my knowing, perhaps I watched one stream with it once, I'd like to remove it, but just in case I need it, don't remember why I didn't update, perhaps a conflict, perhaps because I don't use it, or it didn't report a threat like java and doesn't create unwantend and history compromising temp files)
Google Update (grey - can I remove? what will i lose? don't remember installing it, and if I didn't, why didn't firefox block it?)
Veetle TV Core (grey)
Veetle TV Player (grey - using this for watching streams on veetle.com, probably needs the Core, deleted the broadcaster that was there earlier, never chose to install that, can't firefox regulate that when installing different components? or did i just miss that option and assumed I needed when I was installing veetle add-on?)
Well, that's the list i get when checking on your site, when i use my own browseroptions to check add-ons I get a slightly different and longer list including a few I have already turned off (which also doesn't seem very secure to me, what's the point in using your site then for anything other than updates?), here are the differences in MY list:
I can see 2 versions of Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31, (thanks firefox for not being able to copy-paste this)
one "Classic Java plug-in for Netscape and Mozilla"
the other is "next generation plug-in for Mozilla browsers".
I think I'll just turn off the Netscape and Mozilla one, don't trust it, why would I need 2? There I did it, no crashes, screw java :P
There's also a Mozilla Default plugin listed there, why does firefox list it there without any further information whether I need it or not or whether it really originates from Mozilla firefox? It doesn't even show up when I use your website plugin checker, so is there no easy way by watching this list for me to determin I can skip worrying about it?
There's also some old ones that I recently deactivated still listed like windows live photo gallery, never remember adding that one either or needing it for anything and as usual, right-clicking and "visit homepage" is greyed out, just as it is for the many java crap add-ons I encountered so far.
Doing a quick check, the only homepage I can visit is the veetle one. The rest are greyed out. I also have several "Java Console" in my extentions tab, I deactivated all but the one with the highest number. Still no Java Console visible though, even after going to start/search "java", clicking java file and changing the settings there to "show" console instead of "hide" (can't remember exact details).
There's some other extentions from noscript, TVU webplayer again, ADblock Plus and now also BetterPrivacy (sidenote, a default.LSO remains after cleanup correct? How do I know that one isn't doing anything nasty if it's code has been changed or is being changed? To prevent other LSO's I need to use both private browsing and change all kinds of restrictions online for adobe flashplayer, can anyone say absurd!!! if you think you're infected and want to improve your security? Sorry that rant was against Adobe, but it's really against Anonymous, no offense).

#2170 error calling a webservice from Xcelsius having crossdomain.xml

Hello together,
we are facing a #2170 error indicating we don't have a proper policy file in place when executing a published Xcelsius flash in SAP BI application portal.
We created a WebService that is running an SAP BI System 7.01. The WebService is function module based and was generated following the wizzard. Afterwards we created a Xcelsius app that consumes data from this WebService (via data connection). The resulting flash from Xcelsius was pulished to SAP BI System (portal).
Since there are many entries in the SDN and the internet in general we finally also created an crossdomain.xml file on the BI system which can be accessed and is visible by using "https://<server>/crossdomain.xml".
Now the confusion begins: We exported the flash from Xcelsius to local desktop and executed the corresponding HTML-file. It's working and I can receive/see WebService data (after adjusting flash-security-settings). If we upload both exported files (html and swf) to the BI system (as MIME objects) and execute the html again we are also receiving WebServervice data. So far so good. But if we execute the link from the SAP BI Portal (Xcelsius menu > SAP > Start) we still get the error #2170 indicating we don't have a proper domain policy file in place. But for my understanding we do have. So currently I would assume the error message is somehow misleading.
During all the activities I found out that this error is also raised if the user has insufficient authorization. My user has SAP_ALL authorization for testing purpose.
In general I would say we are not that wrong with our Xcelsius/WebService if we are not coming from BI portal. So my questions are:
1.) Are there any authorization on portal side that might not fit and lead to this error? If insufficient authorizations produces such an error ...
2.) Did we miss any other stuff during our try/fail-operations?
Many thanks in advance for your hints.

IOError in IE but not in Firefox (possible crossdomain.xml problem)

Yesterday, I hopefully debugged a problem that is occuring for our application in IE but not in Firefox.
It has to do with accessing remote content from a separate domain.
In every aspect it APPEARS to be a crossdomain.xml issue but the fact that this issue only arrises in IE is what has prompted me to post here.
We have a solution in the works (bureaucratically speaking) but I want to double check here.
Our application is on domain "a.domain".
It access an xml file on "b.domain/xml/".
And finally (this is the tricky part) it also accesses an xml file at "b.domain/forwardingPath/" which is actually forwarded to "c.domain/xml/".
The crossdomain.xml is located at "b.domain/crossdomain.xml".
The request for "b.domain/xml/anXMLFile.xml" works without any problem.
The request for "b.domain/forwardingPath/anotherXMLFile.xml" succeeds in Firefox but not in IE (remember, the ACTUAL request is forwarded to "c.domain/xml/anotherXMLFile.xml").
In IE I get an IOError.
I believe we need an appropriate crossdomain.xml file also located at "c.domain/crossdomain.xml" and have put in that request. What I want to confirm is whether this understanding is correct. I am not a server-side person at all. It's all elves and fairies to me. And then finally, why the hell is this behavior inconsistent between IE and Firefox? Is the Firefox version of flash player violating its own security standards?!
I am cross-posting this at stack overflow. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7395931/ioerror-in-ie-but-not-in-firefox-possible-cross domain-xml-problem

I've pinged our developers about this and here's what they have to say:
"We did some work for the plugin around redirects andhence the correct behavior on Firefox.
AFAIK, on IE we don't get notified of the redirect and can't participate in making security decisions during redirect scenarios. This behavior is out of our control.
There is a workaround documented in the AS3docs here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/LoaderCont ext.html#checkPolicyFile
Here is the pertinent paragraph:
Be careful with checkPolicyFile if you are downloading anobject from a URL that may use server-side HTTP redirects. Policy files arealways retrieved from the corresponding initial URL that you specify inURLRequest.url. If the final object comes from a different URL because of HTTPredirects, then the initially downloaded policy files might not be applicableto the object's final URL, which is the URL that matters in security decisions.If you find yourself in this situation, you can examine the value ofLoaderInfo.url after you have received a ProgressEvent.PROGRESS orEvent.COMPLETE event, which tells you the object's final URL. Then call theSecurity.loadPolicyFile() method with a policy file URL based on the object'sfinal URL. Then poll the value of LoaderInfo.childAllowsParent until it becomes true."

Security Error in accessing Web service from Flex.Where to put crossdomain.xml in axis container?

Hi guys.
Typically webservices are invoked across domains. Flash has defined certain policies which prevent crossdomain access. The only way to bypass this security feature is to put a crossdomain.xml file within the server root of the webservice provider i.e. in our case at http://abc.com. A sample example of crossdomain.xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
     <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all" />
     <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
     <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
If the crossdomain.xml is not added the developer will get “Security Error accessing URL” type of messages.
The above mentioned information should be enough for you to get your flex based WebService client up and running.
We are using axis2 to build webservices. We deployed the webservices under axis2 container under repository/srvices folder . But in Flex when we try to call the webservices we were getting the exception saying security error in accessing url. The solution is we need to put the crossdomain.xml o that it is loaded at runtime and allow us to access. In tomcat if we put the file under ROOT directory we could accss the file and we were able to access the webservices deployed under Tomcat. But I googled for Axis2 container and couldnt find any solution.
Please post the reply if anyone knows the solution to it.
Thanks
Raja

Hi. So, I did take a quick look at the Axis2 standalone server and didn't see any way to server up a file such as crossdomain.xml. It seems like it might be a useful enhancement to have the ability to serve up files even if this functionality was very simple/limited and nothing like a full blown http server.
I'd log an enhancement request against axis2 if this is something you'd like to have.

Where to place crossdomain.xml in SAP ECC IDES?

Hi,
I have a flex application which uses webservices generated in SAP IDES system. This flex app is stored in portal server. Since the physical servers are involved, I get a security error message, which says, "Security error accessing url". I browsed through the net and found that, we have to place a crossdomain.xml file in the web root folder of the server from where we are fetching the data. In my case, it would be SAP IDES system.
I wanted to know where do I place this xml file in IDES? What would be it's location and how can I generate a URL to access this xml file?
Please let me know about this, if anyone has done this before.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Warm regards,
Deepak

Hi Durairaj,
As mentioned in that thread, I created a BSP application in the server and loaded crossdomain.xml. It was accessible from the browser too.
This is the xml code which is there in crossdomain:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all" />
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
But this did not solve my purpose
I have my flex application in a server, servera.abc.com and I am using the webservices of another server, serverb.abc.com
I uploaded the crossdomain.xml in serverb.abc.com, in the following path through a BSP application:
http://serverb.abc.com:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml
But I still get the 'security accessing url' message in flex. It doesn't load the wsdl.
I'm also using this piece of code in initialize event of the application in flex:
                       private function initSecurity():void{
                    Security.allowDomain("*");
                    Security.loadPolicyFile("http://serverb.abc.com:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml");
                    Alert.show("crossdomain xml loaded....");
Where am I going wrong here?

AS2 Crossdomain.xml and sendAndLoad

Apache proxypass and crossdomain.xml not working

Hi everyone,
I have the following problem. I have set up jboss on a Linux server connecting to local port 8080 (localhost:8080).
I have opened the application on port 80 with Apache ( www.myDomain.com) and set up a virtual host that proxies
this connection to localhost:8080 where jboss is listening.
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/nyDomain
    ServerName myDomain.com

Yet I still get a 2048 sandbox violation error.
The crossdomain is needed because the proxied request
appears to be coming from the public ip while jboss
is bound to the local host.
If I expose Jboss directly to the web all works well but there
are too many security issues in that setup. Apache as a front is
much better.
The question is: is this the correct response I should be getting
(or should it be directly the xml file) and why is it not working?
How can I fix this?
Any help much appreciated. I'm stuck.

Try adding security="false" inside the next line:
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
so it would look something like
<allow-access-from domain="*" security="false" />
It fixed the problem for me.

Why is the Shockwave player not requesting the root crossdomain.xml

Hi,
I have a Director movie (DCR) that is presented to visitors to my website. The DCR is actually downloaded from a separate Content Delivery Network (CDN).
On startup, the DCR connects to my original website to retrieve some additional information that is presented to the visitor. But because the DCR comes the CDN, when it attempts to access my website a warning dialog appears informing the visitor that the DCR is attempting to access another site and asking them to allow or deny access.
I did some reading of the Adobe docs and found that from version 11.5, the Shockwave player will skip this dialog if the referenced domain includes a cross domain policy file that permits access. The movie can load a specific policy from the target domain, but if it doesn't the docs say that the player will read the default crossdomain.xml from the root of the target network.
So I created and deployed the default crossdomain.xml as described in the documentation and redeployed my application. However, when the DCR started the same dialog appeared warning about the cross domain reference and asking me to allow or deny it.
I thought perhaps there was an error in how I deployed the cross domain file, but when I checked more closely I discovered that Shockwave player never even requested the file from the target server.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Am I missing some step that is required to make the player request the default cross domain policy file?
Thanks in advance for any help people can offer.

I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

Crossdomain.xml Not Working

Ok, so first off, my environment. I'm working on a flash
application that resides on the web server (192.168.1.74) and the
data its pulling is from a device (192.168.1.77).
On .77 I have a crossdomain.xml. I have attached the
crossdomain.xml file.
The problem I'm having is that while watching the data
communication in a network sniffer, after the GET for
/crossdomain.xml happens, about 75% of the time, nothing gets
returned. When the XML file DOES get returned, there's a HTTP OK
message... and then that's it. None of the communication between
the app and the server happens.
Now, when I run this application in the Flash developer
program thing, it works fine (I'm on .64) so I know the flash code
works. So its either a Browser issue or my crossdomain.xml file is
wrong in some way.

Try adding security="false" inside the next line:
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
so it would look something like
<allow-access-from domain="*" security="false" />
It fixed the problem for me.

Crossdomain.xml and Reporting Services

Hi,
I'm trying to get my Flex application to call a webservice on a remote Reporting Services instance, but am running up against insummountable problems with the Flash Player's cross-site scripting security.
Due to the way that Reporting Services works, there is no root folder (i.e. http://theserver/ doesn't actually exist anywhere in the filesystem) - so we cannot have a master policy file at that location.
However, we have been able - through extensive fiddling of the SSRS web.config - to get an XML and/or ASPX file into the http://myserver/ReportServer/ subfolder and have the "X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: all" HTTP header returned along with the content.
We are then calling Security.loadPolicyFile("http://theserver/ReportServer/crossdomain.xml") before we try and start calling the WebService.
We are then able to load the WebService description (GET /ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx?wsdl). However, when we then try to make the actual call to the webservice - which is a HTTP POST of XML data to the same URL - /ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx - we get the following errors in the Flex debugger (and the Flash Player log file):
Warning: Failed to load policy file from http://theserver/crossdomain.xml
Error: Request for resource at http://theserver/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx by requestor from http://localhost/modules/ReportsModule.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Are GET and POST requests handled differently, or is there something more sinister going on here? Can anyone think of a way to proceed in this investigation, apart from just giving up on Flash's ability to do anything cross-site, and writing our own Server-Side proxy for everything!
regards
Richard

Sounds like the update for Flash 8 may help.

Question: crossdomain.xml without web server

Hi, Flex Gurus,
In case where I want to use Flex to communicate with a
non-web server machine, e.g. mysql, where should the
crossdomain.xml reside on the non-web server machine?
thanks,
sw

Well at that point you would put it where ever Flex can load
the file locally and do Security.loadPolicyFile("url"). However if
you are going to be using a socket for the connection I'm pretty
sure crossdomain.xml isn't what you're looking for, with the recent
security changes to the Flash Player I think you are looking more
for a Socket Policy File. You can read up on what I'm talking about
here at the following link.

Question about crossdomain.xml

I am having problems having my Flex app call some ColdFusion
pages. I read this on the Adobe website.
"Add a crossdomain.xml file to the server with the data."
If my flex files and my .cfm files are on the same server
(server A), but in the coldfusion administrator my datasource is
connected to a different server (server Z), does that mean I have
to put my crossdomain.xml file on server Z and not server A?

Yes.
