Embedding Cross-Domain Flash (swfobject)

Question

In my site, I'm embedding a flash component using swfobject.js.My site and the .swf are not on the same domain and I suspect this causes my problem - the flash is visible on my site, but it's not responsive to any interaction (clicking it, for instance).

So my site, that is running on, let's say, my.domain.com, have this in the head of the HTML:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var flashvars = {};
    var params = {
        base: "",
        wmode: "transparent",
        scale: "noscale",
        salign: "tr"
    };
    swfobject.embedSWF("http://some.other.domain/myFlash.swf", "divIv", "100%", "500px", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params);
</script>

The result: I see the swf but clicking it doesn't do anything.

Thanks.

Cross domain shouldn't be an issue here. Maybe there is a <div> overlaying Flash and capturing clicks? Or the Flash is locked and can't be used on some domains? — strah

Did you check your console for errors? It might also be the swf file your are loading from other sites. It might be exclusive for their domain. Try referring to this link http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?301185-AS3-cross-domain-policy
