title: FlashLite 2.x/3.0 Cross Domain policy file
body: <p>As per my understanding of the Adobe docs for a cross domain request by an swf, two types of policy files are required on the server:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>URL policy file:  this is named "crossdomain.xml" and stored in the root of the server and is generally an http request to the server.<br>
  <code>System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://foo.com/crossdomain.xml");</code></p></li>
  <li><p>Socket policy file: this is requested via xmlsocket protocol and on port 843 using say <code>System.security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://foo.com:843");</code></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The question is if my FLashLite client is only going to be talking to the server using Sockets(via xmlSocket) do I still need to ask for crossdomain.xml over http, or can I skip step 1 and directly ask for the socket policy file at step 2?</p>
