Externals API

This API is to load content web contents to a closed security plataform.
For example to Flash. The Adobe Flash plataform has a security lock called SandBox and because of it you can’t load contents externally to the Security SandBox of the running application.
To do it inside the Flash, the called server needs to give permission to Flash in their crossdomain.xml.
The Twitter block all acess to its APIs with Flash. (except to search.twitter)
And lot of site with WebServices or APIs don’t put crossdomain.xml in their server, so Flash plataform can’t access it externally.
Others plataforms like Unity have some security issues too.
So, for these applications, I’m glad to say that Externals API was release!
