When it says put crossdomain.xml in the root where would that be on IIS?

Would it be wwwroot, C, the root virtual directory where the assets are hosted, or the same folder that the assets are in?

Meaning if I have a virtual directory 'virdir' with a sub directory 'swf', which is really like C:\somedir\assets\swf\, where would the crossdomain.xml need to go so that my swf app on a different server can access the swfs?

you need to be able to access it as http://yoursite.com/crossdomain.xml so where would you put it to do that?

As a rule of thumb I put it next to my index.html for the site.
