Correct answer robdillon

If you have a Flash movie in a given domain on one server, you cannot access data on another domain. This is a security precaution. In order to use data from another domain, you have to allow that other data to be shared by including a crossdomain.xml file in the second domain. This crossdomain.xml file tells the flash player that data coming from this second domain is OK to use.

There are a number of scenarios explained in the first document that I listed above. Do you have a situation that is different from all of those examples?
