Permission denied to call method Location.toString error: Permission denied to call method Location.toString

Permission denied to call method Location.toString error

The following error occurs in Firebug when an iframe (called on Domain A) pulls an html file on a different domain (domain B) that contains an embedded swf located on domain B. At first I thought it was a swfobject issue so I am trying to troubleshoot this with an object embed.

---------
Permission denied to call method Location.toString
---------

here is an example:
http://www.artworknotavailable.com/temp/iframetest.html

iframetest.html contains one iframe that calls http://www.keithhopkin.com/temp/flashbanner.html .
flashbanner.html contains an embed for a swf (published as flash 9) that has nothing in it except static text placed on the stage. It is not trying to load any data as this was my first thought. A few folks have mentioned the crossdomain.xml policy file but isn't this just for loading data into a swf?

also, i have allowScriptAccess="always" set on the embed. I still get this error.
