there exists a sentence in the "Solution" part of mpsb02-08 located at
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/mpsb02-08.html
-----
For example, if the main page is served from macromedia.com, the wrapper 
page could be served from external.macromedia.com, and this would 
prevent any Macromedia Flash movies inside the wrapper page from 
accessing data associated with macromedia.com.
-----

i think:
"Macromedia Flash movies inside the wrapper page" got document.domain 
equal to "external.macromedia.com", then they can invoke "getURL" to set 
document.domain equal to "macromedia.com", and start "accessing data 
associated with macromedia.com".

===============

i was putting a flash tour on editive.com, and would like flash content 
hosted on 209.203.227.117 to read editive.com cookie(where the language 
settings are stored). during googling, i came across this mistake in 
mpsb02-08.
