Flash widgets have a built-in security mechanism that causes an alert to pop up or even a silent code failure whenever data is accessed by the widget from a domain other than the domain the widget itself is served from. This is a common issue with Flash widgets and can be fixed in two ways:

* If you have file access to the website your widget is pulling data from, you can place a file called crossdomain.xml in the server's document root with the following content:


You can read more about the crossdomain.xml file here.

* If you don't have access to the server you want to pull data from, you can still do it by using the Widgipedia redirect page. All you need to do is prepend the URLs in your widget code withFor instance, if your widget pulls external data fromyou will need to replace the URL with:

That redirect is really useful, makes it easy to throw together rss readers and such without having to host personal redirects elsewhere.

you can use PHP as well to take the XML data from another site and your widget can pull it from your website if the php script is hosted in the same domain as your widget.
