When the user clicks on the submit button, the SWF does a LoadVars.send() to a URL on bunnyherolabs.com (different domain). During troubleshooting, I also added crossdomain.xml files to both petswf... and bunnyherolabs.com. I didn't remove them after I got it working, so I don't know if it was necessary or not. Perhaps it is? Try adding a crossdomain.xml to the destination of the LoadVars. And I just now found this article, which I wish I had read when I first encountered the problem! <a href = "http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_05.html" rel="nofollow">It shows you how to turn on "policy file logging" in the debug version of the Flash Player.</a> Hey Jason,

In my SWF I'm calling loadvars but sending the request to another IP address (ie, not were the original SWF came from) What was your situation exactly? Thanks!!
