Hello,

Is there a script that checks if the flash is loaded from a local drive?

Example: Keric opens a flash file. The script then checks if the file is being played from a local drive. If it’s not, ads will be displayed.

Something like a domain lock. Uhm, local drive lock? Heheh

Is this possible?
