Flash ActionScript 3 get auth info within single SWF

I am developing flash application as single swf file, without HTML wrapper (but for sure I have this swf located at my hosting). I have create application at developers section. The problem I have faced is: when I post this SWF to the my wall at FaceBook I can not get any call from this SWF of the URLloader or ExternalItreface.

For example, I need to do Signed Request in order to get user information but I have got Security Error which say that my domain cannot get information from apps.facebook.com

The request I am doing is a simple:

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://apps.facebook.com/my_app_name");

Is there any way to inform faceebok that my hosting is a security save?

If you want to grab things cross domain, the easiest way is to use a script on your server. If you're using php, you can easily connect to http://my.domain/my_script.php which can then CURL the info from http://apps.facebook.com/my_app_name or anywhere else. You can then (parse and) pass that info to your swf.

Otherwise, you're going to need permission from the target to add a crossdomain rule for you.
