April Flash Player update to break AMFPHP, SWX-PHP

Wade Arnold has an important post on the upcoming Flash Player update and the security changes that will break AMFPHP. As SWX-PHP uses AMF-PHP as a library, it too will be affected.

Wade's post has a crossdomain.xml file that you can use on your existing sites to make sure that they don't break.

Thanks to R. Jon MacDonald for bringing this to my attention on the SWX mailing list.

    I don’t know how they pulled it off, but the RSS for this post is full of spam. Gotta hand it to ‘em, those spammers are clever.

    Darn it, I know how they did it. They’re injecting it in the posts. I wrote a plugin to remove the spam from being displayed on the site but, of course, didn’t think about the RSS feed.

    I have to set some time aside to upgrade the blog.

    Oh and thanks so much for the heads up, Meekish :)

  4. Just a quick note that Wade updated his crossdomain.xml post with more info and a ‘cleaner’ version:
