Another example:  Flash ActionScript .swf files can load XML from other 
domains if that domain hosts the appropriate policy file.  ActionScript 
also provides access to the containing document's javascript environment.

I have had occasion to use this to effect cross-domain loading of XML 
and insertion into the DOM.

Won't work on an iPhone, though.
