You would need a crossdomain.xml to allow your flash swf file to import swf files from
another domain. Which you don't want to do unless the other domain is yours or
extremely trusted.

The 404 error you are getting is probably a "sniffer" trying to find and hack the
file.

as far as i know,
if you permit other domains in crossdomain.xml and your flash player has preroll ads.,

then i can download your flashplayer, do reverese engg., in it remove the preroll ads script, upload it to my server and still fetch videos from your box.

but i may be wrong.

That "can" work, but that's more work than needed to leach videos in most cases,
and you wouldn't need to have your domain in their crossdomain.xml either.

Videos are "played" rather then "imported" so no crossdomain.xml is needed to
play videos from other domains.
