[worldKit-dev] Trouble with javascript - to - worldKit

Hi Jason

(Sorry for the delay -- still getting caught up after travels...)

This problem is related to the browser security model. worldkit.swf is being loaded from charlotteobserver.com, but displayed on charlotte.com. The flash runs fine, but javascript communication between the "domains" is blocked.

The quick solution, if possible, is to server the swf from the same domain. Will that be ok for you?

The long term solution is to implement a config option, which would grant permission to the local domain. I'll add a ticket for that.

The default value needs to be set as well.

<visible>true
 <elementary>true</elementary>
 <middle>false</middle>
 <high>false</high>
</visible>

I'll improve the documentation on this point.

Hope that help.

Mikel
