Question

MY CHROME, FLASH PLAYER, ETC IS ALL UP TO DATE BUT ONE APP ON FACEBOOK ALWAYS GIVES ME THE 'UNSECURE' MESSAGE AND KEEPS ME FROM LOADING MY GAME.  I HAVE TRIED TO CONVEY TO THE TECH REP TEAM THAT THE ISSUE STEMS FROM ONE OF THEIR ADVERTS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND.  THE APP IS FARMVILLE1 AND THE ADVERT IS FROM CHART 10.  CAN ANYONE HELP OR GIVE ME A WORKAROUND.  I'VE DONE ALL THE TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS (BTW - I TYPE CAPS B/C OF NERVE DAMAGE, IT'S LESS PAINFUL THAN USING UPPER AND LOWER CASE) AND HAVE 35+ YEARS OF TECH SUPPORT/CODING/ETC UNDER MY 64+ Y/O BELT.  STILL CANNOT FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.

It's bad form to make requests to HTTP assets from a page served over HTTPS, because you can both leak information and potentially pull in inauthentic content (man-in-the-middle code injection, etc). Chrome disallows it. That's why you're seeing the page marked as insecure.

This doesn't have anything to do with Flash Player. It's a content-side issue. Your choices basically boil down to using the content in an insecure configuration (which may require using another browser with less strict policy enforcement), or voting with your feet and finding another comparable app on Facebook that doesn't have the security problem.
