Read some of the links I provided.
There is a distinction between the webpage pulling in content and an "active
agent" already loaded into the web page pulling in content. Thusly, If I
have a Flash Application on the webpage calling web services and pulling in
XML, it is not the web page doing it since the Flash SWF originated
externally to it. What matters is how the _web_page_ loads the external
agent (eg. Flash SWF file); which is why Macromedia recommends calling a
script that then loads the Flash app. Apparently this simple machination
side-steps the patent, which seems pretty ridiculous; but I am just
reporting the news...
