Disable web security to access local resources as needed
FROM STACK OVERFLOW
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3102819/disable-same-origin-policy-in-chrome
$ open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security
For Linux run:
$ google-chrome --disable-web-security
Also if you're trying to access local files for dev purposes like AJAX or JSON, you can use this flag too.
-–allow-file-access-from-files
For PC go into the command prompt and go into the folder where Chrome.exe is and type
chrome.exe --disable-web-security
That should disable the same origin policy and allow you to access local files.
Update: For Chrome 22+ you will be presented with an error message that says:
You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --disable-web-security. Stability and security will suffer.
However you can just ignore that message while developing.

For loading texture and resources from local file there is no need to disable security just use the -–allow-file-access-from-files flag.
