I’m creating a flash website which have video background besides the link. i uploaded the video on server using dropbox. it runs on flash well bt when i tried to run it from swf file i got error, as…

"Adobe Flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.

The following local application on your computer or network:  
\weboarise\software\eg.swf

is trying to communicate with the internet-enabled location:  
[dl.dropbox.com](http://dl.dropbox.com)

to let this application communicate with the internet, click settings."
