Topic: Accessing Local XML Data

Hello everyone:

I'm working on a widget an recently came across this issue.
I need to read XML data from another device in the same local network that Chumby is.
Is there anyway that my Chumby widget (192.168.1.101) can access the XML data (192.168.1.102) directly from the local network?
I understand that there might be no straight forward way of doing this but I'd also appreciate any ideas or tricks to get by this if any at all.

Thank you in advance!

Re: Accessing Local XML Data

Yes, however, that other device will need to have a crossdomain.xml file to grant permission to Flash to access the data just like any other server would.  There's no difference between accessing XML data over HTTP  from a device on your LAN as there is getting data from the general Internet.
