Flash Player 15 - new popup on local files running in browser

Hi Gym Man,

I think I just responded to you in email but here's a few suggested workarounds to this recent security change.

• This warning dialog is shown when you use navigateToURL().  You can simply stop using this function and instead use ExternalInterface to send the url to the browser and then have the browser call window.open().

• The warning dialog should not appear when loading the swf in the local-trusted sandbox.  However, this requires that the user add the swf's path in the Settings manager.

A better strategy is to register the local SWF files as trusted in the user’s Flash Player Trust directory as described here: http://adobe.ly/1riyuMS

For example, if your app is located in “C:\Program File (x86)\MyApp”, you can add a file called “myapp.cfg” with content containing that path to:  %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\myapp.cfg

• This dialog appears only with local-with-filesystem (also known as local untrusted).  If you aren’t loading any other assets, you can also publish with local-with-networking which will not show this warning.

• Finally, you could load the swfs from http://localhost/ (so they are remote) instead of file://.

Thanks,

Chris
