+Flashpolicy (crossdomain.xml).
 
+In order for flash to allow communiction with the server it needs a crossdomain.xml file. 
+The componentRegistry uses the as3httpclientlib (http://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/) to
+allow http DELETE calls to the server. For this to work it uses communication through sockets
+which needs the crossdomain.xml file to be served from a socket. There is a script and deamon 
+in the ComponentBrowserGui/flashpolicy dir which can be installed and used to start up such a listener.
+
+For more information about Flash distorted behaviour on this subject please read 
+and related documentation: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html
