And if not enought, flash manual and find info aboud a sandboxType. There is a lot of info.

I encountered the same problem last week.
We made a website for a client with flash8, html, ajax, and javascript. It works all fine online.

Now the client is so satisfied, he wants the whole site on a cdrom.
To run the site from cdrom we’re entering the flash 8 security problem zone. Loading flv’s is not a problem, but calling javascript from flash gives the security alert from flash, wich guides you to the ‘ONLINE’ security manager. The whole purpose of putting the site on a cdrom is to be able to view it without an internet connection.

We came up with a (for me) very nice solution. We made an installer wich installs the complete site and content on the users computer and puts the right .cfg files in the right folders.

But now the client doesn;t trust installers …….so.. back to the drawing board.

It seems flash 8 is made for online use, not for offline use.

to MM: do something about this!

Then just create a entry in your hosts file that points localhost.domain.com to the local webserver and use that from your hostfile.

Ofcouse this is not a perfect solution if you want the users to install some files on there computer to minimize download time. For that there is nothing else to do then config the cache settings on the webserver as good as possible.

But I have solution with HTTP server, but I want solution that should work normally as is described by macromedia….

And i do not know any flash coder, which done this, i spoke with many flash coders over the world, no one could do this, so if you know someone, who did it, please, can you give me contact to him?

Thanks many times

This is where I get a little unsure, because I know that people generally *do* use the methods described in these documents to good effect:

I believe you’re seeing what you’re seeing, but I’m not sure yet how others can make it happen too. That’s why it’s hard for me to reply directly.

hmm… maybe one way to get to the bottom of this would be to see if you can use the above methods in a new, smaller, simpler test project… that would let us focus more directly on the steps. Do you know yet which of the four types of sandboxes you’re in?

I will write about it soon, must find out why it doesnt work for IE, but it’s base on simple HTTP server on localhost…so you need not to load file from file:///c:/test.swf, but instead http://localhost:8080/test.swf

This is advice from Theodor Patrick, and source of simple HTTP server will be in IFBIN (IFBIN works on this solution)
