After much searching I realised that although I published the swf with flashplayer 8. Flash player 9 requers that an policy server be set up on the machine on port 843 to serve the crossdomain.xml file. Here is a link to a Flash Policy Server from flash-resources.net http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/flashpolicyserv/flash-policy-server-1.1.zip
