Potentially Unsafe Operation Error on SWF

Hi All

I'm new to Captivate. I'm trying to export a SWF for use with a desktop-CD based application.

When I export a SWF from Captivate CS5 and open it it get the Potentially Unsafe Operation warning, as if the SWF is trying to

connect to a server.

I've looked through all the preferences and can't find anything to 'unclick' about internet connections.

Any help would be appreciated

Declan

    Welcome to our community

    You see this dialog because of Flash Player security. When you run your project from the local C drive, you are in very unsafe territory from the perspective of the Flash Player. Flash Player then blocks certain actions until you specifically configure it to say the folder where you are running the SWF is "Safe".

    These restrictions aren't imposed if you place the content on a web server, as the web page is automatically in the "safe" zone. So once you upload to a web server, you have no concerns. Your end users will not see the message you are seeing.
