This is achieved by creating a XML file named “crossdomain.xml” on the production domain and defining a set of properties specifying which other domains are allowed access its data (Remoting, XML etc). This all works nicely when we are working with a contained Flash Movie, allowing us to maintain the state on a remote domain. What happens when we wish to access that state information on a different domain? When switching from Flash to another language (say PHP) you will lose your session information. When we are to “break” out from the Flash into an HTML process (- lets say a HTML checkout process) accessing the ‘State’ of the session will not be available as the cookie is set for the Remoting Domain, not the one serving our local HTML. (See ‘sharing a session across multiple domains‘).
