Problems running local swf files

Thanks Steve and Rick. I think my problem could be the security settings in IE. But I have tried changing the security settings to enable just about everything and so far still no luck! Instead of the flash file showing, I see a broken image. However, if I view the same page on the server, I can see the flash file. It's frustrating since it has worked for a long time and suddenly the flash files stopped working locally.

Hi Aquasue and welcome to our community

In addition to the usual suspect fellow Adobe Community Expert Steve pointed out, the Flash player itself may be to blame. If you recently upgraded to the latest version (8 I believe) it imposes security particularly when using .SWFs locally.

Any ideas? Yep, security settings in IE. This is the usual culprit, especially if you have applied any Microsoft updates or service packs lately. A quick way to test this is to try running the same files from a network server...if they work there, then it is more than likely security settings on your PC and you will need to adjust them. Unfortunately, I don't know precisely what you need to do since I just test mine on a server...corporate no no to change security settings ya know.
