Alternate location for Crossdomain file, Different directory instead of Root.

Question

Hi There

Due to some security concerns I have to move the location of crossdomain file from root to some other location. The flex app works fine if it find the crossdomain at root but doesn't work if I store the crossdomain file at another location. I have tried to use Security.loadPolicyFile(url), Flash finds the crossdomin file but then ignores it.

As per the this post

I have set up a master policy file at root and the cross domain file at another location.

Can some one help, how to set up cross domain file at a different directory instead of root?

Here's a link that might help you. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html#site-control "If a client is instructed to use a policy file in a location other than that of the master policy file, the client must first check the meta-policy of the master policy file to determine if the original policy file is allowed" Hi There Well that's exactly I am doing but it still doesn't seems to be working. Here is what I have done At root I have got a cross domain file with meta policy

At another location at the same server another cross domain file

Now in the Flex code I have got flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile('URL to the location of non master cross domain file'); Is there any mistake in the meta policy here? Thanks in advance.
