Urgent ISSUE!!!!!

Adobe has updated the flash player's security restrictions, as such the 
current policy file located on google is no longer valid.

Please read and implement Adobe's policy file changes.

Adobe Article on the changes:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html

Adobe Staff Presentation and Article on subject:
http://www.senocular.com/pub/baadaug/04-22-08/

Errors in flexbuilder with latest player.

Warning: Domain maps.googleapis.com does not explicitly specify a meta-
policy, but Content-Type of policy file 
http://maps.googleapis.com/mapsapi/crossdomain.xml is 'text/x-cross-domain-
policy'.  Applying meta-policy 'by-content-type'.

Well? How come now one is addressing this?

Hi-- Sorry for not responding. That is just a warning -- the crossdomain.xml file is
actually only used by us for internal development. For external developers,
everything is on the same domain. We'll try to change it so you don't see the
warning, however.

Thanks for addressing this issue, the fact is Adobe plans to tighten the security of 
the Flash Player, and change the "warning" to a fatal error, where it will be 
impossible to load content into the flash player that comes from different URLs even 
from the same domain.  A member of the Adobe Player team recently did a presentaiton 
about the secuirty changes, and told our developer group the lockdown changes are 
will happen very soon.


Please have your engineers read (and address)this security article posted by 
Adobe:

Thanks!

So to be clear everyone is on the same page.

1> All of Adobe's Flash Player's are affected.  
2> Website's providing content to be viewed within the flash player (Google) must 
make specific changes to their crossdomain policy files (crossdomain.xml) to allow 
their content to be viewed and accessed within the Adobe Flash Player. 

Adobe has posted the specific changes to the policy files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html

Again this issue requires URGENT attention.

Hi, is there anything new to this topic?

I'm still getting this message with Flex:
------------
Warning: Domain maps.googleapis.com does not explicitly specify a meta-policy, but
Content-Type of policy file http://maps.googleapis.com/mapsapi/crossdomain.xml is
'text/x-cross-domain-policy'.  Applying meta-policy 'by-content-type'.
-----------

And it'll stop as it tries to reach http://maps.googleapis.com/crossdomain.xml

Please update your crossdomain files.

Cheers.

NO progress yet.  Google team - what's taking so long? 
Comment 9 by dvpweb, Jul 02, 2008
Also - can someone change this to a BUG and high priority - it's not an enhancement, 
its a server mis-configuration on Google's part.  
Comment 10 by pamela.fox, Jul 05, 2008
It's now fixed from all angles, I believe. Please re-compile with the new 1.5 SWC. I
just did, and there's no cross-domain policy warning in my trace.
