We used to blog more before twitter came along.
Watch your file privileges
Flash + Web Services.
Usually cool and trouble free.
But then one day my SWF (locaed on box A) stopped getting data from box B. It wasn't immediately obvious and went unnoticed for quite a few days by which time I had forgotten we did a code deployment to that server.
So I was bashing my head on the desk this morning (typical when working in the Flash IDE) trying to solve the issue. Of course the SWF ran great locally.
Just for thrills I tried to access boxb/crossdomain.xml. IIS spits out a 403 error. Head goes through desk when I realize that was the problem all along. Stupid Windows! ARRRRRRGH.
Added IUSR_boxA with Read access and everying came up.
Just for good measure: STUPID WINDOWS!
