Juggling RTMP Stream Data Via Proxy

I’m working on a way to proxy stream data from Flash Media Server to client applications on separate domains. There should be a simple mechanism in place to take care of such security restrictions, but since there is not, my plan is to create a proxy SWF that lives on the same domain as FMS and deals with the collection of BitmapData and ByteArray object data which is then able to be accessed by the parent SWF.

Not sure if this will work or if the security sandbox prevents access to RTMP data unconditionally. I know this method has been used for simple cross-domain data transfers over HTTP with success. This may be something different alltogether as a security policy file doesn’t mean “boo” in regard to RTMP streams. More documentation on these security restrictions and more news on the features of FMS3 would help.
