I imagine that they will have to eventually address this problem given that everyone and their mom are using flash to stream video and audio. I guess time will tell.

From the next Flash Player version and so on, flash will always try to read the meta-policy file (which has to be at the root of the website, i.e "www.mysite.com/crossdomain.xml"), and only after reading that will it read the other policy files you're asking it to (www.mysite.com/myfolder/crossdomain.xml. Only if the meta-policy file allows other policy files to be created, they will be taken into account. Since limelight doesn't hold a meta-policy file in the root folder of its customers accounts, we'll have a serious problems when the next version of the Flash Player will come out. And it's due for next week. Have you thought of any solution because i haven't? (well, except mailing limelight and asking them) Hey man, I too have encountered this problem, i solved it just as you did but now I am facing a new one.
