Original experiment made me curious of what is possible to do with proxies in flash.
Will return to play with this interesting possibility tomorrow. So far it seems its possible to make a workaround for crossdomain limitations Will try tomorrow. using proxies for images/swf files/text. Now I wonder if it is possible to do the same with sounds/video and streams :D
This thing is also cool because its not really a bug/security hole. But you are dependent on a proxy.
