If your flash player can't find that file then it's broken.

What may be confusing you is that if you want to be able to access the 
api you need to explicitly tell flash to load:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/crossdomain.xml

likewise if you want to use oauth you need to tell it to load:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth/crossdomain.xml

the root crossdomain file simply tells flash to trust any other 
crossdomain files served with the correct content type.

I don't believe we currently support cross domain access to tiles 
however, but that is something you would need to take up with Jon as he 
runs the tile server.
