Embedding Flash in Google Gadget !

A static flash play can be easily embedded using _IG_EmbedFlash() function in the gadget but since we need to load the xml according to the User Login preferences. I need to do some more modifications.

The issue I faced here is :

For security reasons, a Macromedia Flash playing in a web browser is not allowed to access data that resides outside the exact web domain from which the SWF originated.

Since google loads modules from 97.gmodules.com domain, extracting data from marketsimplified domain becomes external.

Cross-domain policy file has to be created to make it work.

But still I didnt get it to work… unless on top of this, I have to do some workaround as described in this url…

However finally… its up and running…
