Dynamic Text fields not working

[abdul...@gmail.com]

Hi,

This is my first time as a flash developer. I want to make a widget
that uses dynamic text fields to display some data that I extract from
my database through php. When I run the swf locally or on the web, it
runs fine..But when I publish a widget, the dynamic field do not
populate and remain empty. Any guesses?

I am not inserting any API code in the widget. Could this be causing
the problem? Why is it not running as a widget when it is running
otherwise?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to your help...I am stuck in this for sometime now...

Thanks
Abdul Aziz

This is because of flash security. When you put your widget on the
same server as your php its in the same sand box thus it will work.
When you publish your widget on yourminis its in a different sandbox
and flash security does not load your data. You need to set up a
cross domain policy file. You can also use the api to make the call
for you as it uses a proxy it does not violate flash security.
