Facebook API: Why can I load a user's image off one domain but not another?

Question

Image 1 is at fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net

Image 2 is at fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net

The crossdomain files are identical:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.aka

Answer 1

I too was struggling whith this a few days ago... But the all of sudden, it worked by

adding this somewhere when my app inits:

        Security.loadPolicyFile("http://graph.facebook.com/crossdomain.xml");
        Security.loadPolicyFile("http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/crossdomain.xml");
        Security.allowDomain("*");
        Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");

And then i used this to get the picture:

public function getProfilePicture():void {
            var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
            myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void {
                pic.bitmapData = Bitmap(myLoader.content).bitmapData;
            });
            var fileRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://graph.facebook.com/" + this.uid + "/picture");
            var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
            lc.checkPolicyFile = true;
            myLoader.load(fileRequest, lc);
}
