What is a security sandbox violation, and how do I override it? I’m making a project in FlashDevelop, and today, it will not load external files, even though it had been previously.

```auto
***Security Sandbox Violation***
Connection to file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kevin.PC885314341208/Desktop/Import%20.txt/StockData/1.txt halted - not permitted from file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kevin.PC885314341208/Desktop/Import%20.txt/import.swf

```

I hope this isn’t a serious problem.

Thanks for any help.
