Flexosaurus about Blogger API for ActionScript

Yesterday I was trying to get authenticating to the Blogger service, but I was getting following error. Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false
eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin"]. URL:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin.

I found out that Google currently do not support cross-domain requests to Google Accounts from Flash. There is currently an issue filed against this here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=406 .

Anyhow I was able to get authorization token(it worked for Mozilla FireFox, but not for IE6), but not more than that. But it may be able to work around this by proxying requests through own domain, however. So maybe I will try.
