Hi,

I have searched for an answer to the following question, but so far have not found it.

Can I host my own Chumby apps on my own website?

  The reason for the question is that I have been using Flash for way too long.  As such, I have found and harnessed the joy of runtime sharing, and the base parameter that gives me relative path directories.  These features enable me to create quick responsive apps, but ones that rely on structures of both data and supporting swf pieces and parts.

If I could host my own, then i could point to a main.swf inside the directories that is then the base for the rest of the files.  I do this approach on other solutions, like set top boxes using Stagecraft flash lite player,with no problems whatsoever.

I found a very interesting bit of guidance on the great resource Duane posted at http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index. … a_channel.

This describes the use of profile.xml to "blend" local widgets into channels. 

Side Question:  From the threads I read and my own experience on the BB8, that this does not work as described.  Is there a fix for it?

In the mixing local widgets section, it says the profile.xml file (which resembles a Google gadget definition file)

"Note that the href fields can be full URLs to external servers that have appropriate crossdomain security, and that the widgets will have the security sandbox corresponding to those sites, not *.chumby.com"

This seems to describe the ability to host widgets from any site.  BTW, I am developing against the InfoCast/BB8.
