so I have an swf file embedded into a google site that i created
I want to access this swf, by using the URL to the google site which contains oonly the swf file embedded into it
so, i type this into flash projector and it starts to load, but then i get an error basically telling me I need to update my swf file, which is untrue as the downloaded version works
the issue is, in order to get it to run on the downloaded swf i have to ADD the file to trusted location settings
I need to know how to essentially trust this URL if that makes sense. I need the fix for allowing this URL access
The reason I am comng to you guys is if this works, I will need to buy a subcription to photoshop and indesign, to further my project.  Please help!

    We're not going to troubleshoot your application for you, but there are a couple things: 

    • CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.   

      It's basically a mechanism for other servers to grant permission for your page to make requests to them.  If your page is calling out to third-party stuff, and that third party stuff doesn't explicitly allow you to do that, then the browser is going to refuse to load it.  When considering whether or not things come from the same origin, the browser considers the protocol (http://) the hostname (whatever.yourdomain.com) and the port (blank, or :8080 or something).  If those all don't match exactly, then they're not same-origin.

    • Mixed-Mode HTTPS is a problem, and most browsers won't let you do it anymore.  If you're loading a page over HTTPS, then EVERYTHING on the page needs to be loaded over HTTPS.  If it's all coming from your server, then just using relative paths ("/stuff.html" vs. the FQDN "http://my.server.com/stuff.com") will get you what you want.

    • If you're loading this stuff from the local filesystem, it's extra complicated.  Using a local webserver like WAMP/MAMP would greatly simplify the security stuff.
