hi everyone,

I have an SWF that accesses an ASP file to fetch me results from MS SQL database. Whenever I run this SWF file I get a “Macromedia Flash Player Security” message. I have Flash Player 8 installed on my computer. Can someone help me avoid this annoying pop-up?

thanks!

Manish

In the publish settings, go to the “Flash” tab. At the bottom you can see a dropdownlist which says “Local playback security: access local files only”. You’ll have to change it to “access network files only”.
