<policy file request /> problem in IE

Hello all,

I have made a chat application written in AS2.i have a seprate java server for my application.
i m using XMLScoket object to connect flash client to java server.

var clientSocket:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://mysite.com:80");
clientSocket.connect("mysite.com",8080 )

My problem is that when i try to connect to java server, i get the "<policy-file-request/>" from the flash client and socket just sits there waiting.
strange thing is that this seems to be a problem with flash player 9 in IE only.it workes perfectly fine with mozilla,netscape,safari and opera.The crossdomain file is inside root folder of tomcat.Both flash client and java server are in same domain.
If we comment code for loadpolicyfile in AS2 then still problem is same

please help me on this issue
thanks in advance
