How to configure the flex crossdomain.xml in tipfy

Question

I would like to know how to configure the flex crossdomain.xml in tipfy with the Google app engine skd.

Please advice. Thanks.

Edit:

Tipfy is a framework using in Gae.

I would like to know:

1. where I can place the crossdomain.xml, in the root or other place,
2. do I need script to redirect to the xml,
3. what files that I need to modify, eg. app.yaml.
4. any other things or file I need to modify or create to make it work.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Place the crossdomain.xml anywhere in your app (eg, the root of the app), then use a static file handler to configure it in app.yaml. You don't need to touch any framework code at all.

Answer 2

If you are using GAE the app url will be typically http://myapp.appspot.com and the Flash player will need a cross domain file from http://myapp.appspot.com/crossdomain.xml. In a Java environment it is as simple as creating this file in web folder of the project, that's it. It will be the same for Python, put this in your app's web root folder, not Google's web server root folder. This worked for me.
