Loading SWF from different site

[newacct]

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to use Gordon to display an SWF on a different site than the web page it's on. From my understanding, JavaScript on one site can't access files on a different site(?). So does that mean it's impossible?
Thanks,

Pretty much, yeah. The SWF source is loaded via AJAX, which follows a "must be on the exact same domain" policy.

Hmm. That's an interesting limitation.

You can circumvent issue with CORS but gordon append url to directory you're in so If I have code like this:

var movie = new Gordon.Movie("https://jcubic.pl/Flash3D.swf", {id: "movie", width: 480, height: 320});

it try to fetch: http://localhost/projects/gordon/https://jcubic.pl/Flash3D.swf

Found the error:

in movie.js

new Gordon.Parser((/^\w:\/\//.test(url) ? '' : LOCATION_DIRNAME) + url, function(obj){

it should be:

new Gordon.Parser((/^\w+:\/\//.test(url) ? '' : LOCATION_DIRNAME) + url, function(obj){

I would create PR but I don't think that this project is maintained anymore.
