If you send headers to a domain that does not match the domain where the SWF is hosted, you need update your crossdomain.xml file to allow them to continue to work with Flash Player 9.0.124.0.

One of the examples from the article is:

<?xml version=”1.0″?>

<!– This domain can accept a MyHeader header from a SWF file on www.example.com –>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain=”www.example.com” headers=”MyHeader”/>

And all click backs on the video go to the original site (whereas with YouTube all click backs go the original YouTube site).
