We setup an open crossdomain.xml file at pipes.yahooapis.com. This update allows Flash developers to get the output of a Pipe in JSON or RSS formats.

To access your Pipe from Flash you need to take the following steps:

1. Find the JSON or RSS URL for the Pipe you want to call. After you run a Pipe you can find these links in the “Subscribe” tab. Here’s an example URL for the RSS feed of a Pipe:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5BiciiOz2xGc28CWpRr.og&query=rss&username=joshua&_render=rss

2. Replace the domain name in the above URL from “yahoo” to “yahooapis”. Here’s an example of the change:
http://pipes.yahooapis.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=5BiciiOz2xGc28CWpRr.og&query=rss&username=joshua&_render=rss
