Load text file from different web site?

Question

I want to load some text data from a third party web site (I
guess I need to use URLLoader) but everything I'm reading says the
Flash player security will prevent this because it's coming from a
different domain. Isn't there any way around this? How else could a
Flash RSS reader work - you can't possibly get all web site sources
to include a cross-domain policy file. I would have to believe
there must be some way to load text from an arbitrary URL.

I am an Actionscript newbie - is this is possible, any
pointers to examples on doing this (allowing arbitrary URLs) would
be appreciated.

My guess is that this security feature is to protectproperty. So if you want to use someone else's property, you needtheir explicit permission to do so. I'm gonna keep an eye on thispost because I'd like to know more about it myself.
