are you talking about an error similar to the one seen in this sample?
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://arcgis.storymaps.esri.com/ArcGIS/rest/info?f=json. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://developers.arcgis.com' is therefore not allowed access.
if so, thats a normal check made by the API to see whether the remote server supports CORS.
