Change Flash Security Settings With No Internet Access?

Hello
I have firefox at home with no internet access, is it posible
to alter my flash installation so it enables access to other
content. it brings up a settings window but that just goes to a
dead url.
I have a a collage disk but it will not run untill I alter
the settings of flash to allow acess to other site, other location?
Please help?

I agree with you, I tried different SOL editor and it work
when i tried.
I believe what I used was more than SOL explorer/reader
rather then editor
even tho it has this option is seem the file stop working and
hence the
problem I was claiming about the files not work properly.
Perhaps it was changing something and flash did not like
these changes.
Anyhow, I did try another tool and did manage to work.
Thanks

Flash security settings - offline no internet connection

We have applications that are residing and a closed intranet with no access to the WWW period.
We are trying to use Xcelsius' WSDL connector to a WSDL residing on the intranet. This works fine, however when the SWF is opened in IE a default security prompt appears:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following application on your.....
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings..."
Since these machines have no access to the Internet, they cannot see the Macromedia Flash Website and thus are unable to modify their security settings, and thus the WSDL connection cannot work.
Does anyone have any resolutions available to allow web based data communications in Flash, without a WWW connection?
thank you

Hi Christine,
You can add a simple local configuration (.txt) file per machine to say which SWF or folder of SWFs is trusted without using the Adobe online Security tool.
Here is where to put the local configuration file for all users of the machine (note you may need to create the FlashPlayerTrust folder):
<system>\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
So that could be:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
Call the configuration txt file whatever you want (just make sure it has a .txt extension).
Create the configuration file (Notepad will do), save the file (for example: xcelsius.txt).
To make any SWF that runs from the C or D drive on the machine trusted add these two lines to the txt file then save it:
C:\
D:\
Run a SWF from the C or D drive and it should now be trusted.
This information is from this section FlashPlayerTrust configuration files on this Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security_04.html

Change Flash Security Settings? Security Manager Offline?

Hello
I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content
which when I run it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the
page is trying to access other content etc.
I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont
have internet at home, I understand I need the global manager
security settings panel which of course shows fine on this intenet
conencted machine but at home it just brings up a dead URL because
of no tcp/adsl etc.
I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of
times before Im sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every
one and good luck Adobe.

The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash
player is effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to
not have local, offline access to adjust settings to a local piece
of software, even if it is a plug-in. That goes to the heart of it
right there. The settings are stored locally, so what the hell is
the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it specifically says it is not
going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal data on your
system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they
know they have a front door into everyone's machine that made the
mistake of installing the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had
a big deal about it because they put it in the WinXP install and
sure enough, flash player had a huge security hole. They knew it
and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.
You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally
rather than relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe
clearly wants to your system.
Adobe should be set on fire for this kind of behavior.
btw:
check out this file: (it'll be on your local machine)
\documents and settings\(your username)\application
data\macromedia\flash
player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
and the file is
settings.sol (it's a binary file)
SWF should never be allowed to modify anything, it's supposed
to play animations, yet adobe's ocx (the plug-in) seems to do just
that without any notification or warning that it's going to do
something to your local system. Again, this is classic virus
behavior; performing some unwanted/unwarranted task(s) without
notice. I've play with the flash maker before, I remember you could
do some things with clickable links. But nowhere do I recall it
giving the ability to modify someones local files, that was just
too much freedom.
adobe needs to either fix this or drop flash player. I know
it's fairly prevalent on the web, but with security risks like
these that adobe doesn't want to fix it's just dynamite. Better
yet, how about make our flash swf files able to access adobes'
internal network? Sounds fair to me.
You'll also probably see a bunch (or just a few or even none)
of directories that start with # in the ...\sys directory. Under
which each one may have another settings.sol file. If you do a
little research on the web you can find a ton of people who've had
security holes opened because of entries in these files. adobe may
want to deny it but you can read about it all over the place. adobe
flash player has even been at issue with rootkits (look them up,
quite nasty) and the problems that go with them. So yeah, adobe
reached a new low the first time I saw that.
It's crap software like this that gets unleashed on the
unsuspecting public and techs like myself have to clean it up.
Furthermore, we have to try and find alternatives to what has
become too well-established. Flash became popular before people
really paid any attention to what adobe was actually doing on their
systems. That's why everytime I have to uncorrupt a system I go
looking for things like the flash player plugin. Some days it's so
bad I'd like to see a plane hit the adobe hq, that'd be some
justice.
If only companies like adobe would release trustworthy
software, yeah, I'm still looking for the pigs with wings.
And yet still more bs: while almost every piece of software
I've ever installed goes into it's own directory or under
..\program files\... look where adobe puts itself. Deep inside
...\Windows\...
Here's where I found mine
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\
with several different directories under there. Like a damn
tick it burrowed itself into the main windows directory. Which is
also typical of a virus.

Enterprise Manager in secure environment with no internet access

I have Oracle 11g installed in a secure isolated environment, which means there is limited access to the servers, and definitely no internet access from that environment.
I am looking to configure Enterprise Manager / Database control.
I can successfully start up the application server on my database server, and connect to this from a web browser within my secure environment.
However when I try to display the Performance tab, nothing is displayed.
I understand this screen uses an ActivX component.
Is the use of the ActivX component going to have problems because my servers have no direct internet access, or should this not make any difference?
Thanks
Paul Graves

No this is not going to make any difference.
You don't need any internet connection at all for working with OEM GC.
Maybe, if you want to configure the Patch Setup to receive Patch Adviories from My Oracle Support, but even then you can do without a connection from you server(s) to the internet.
Asuming that you are using OEM GC 10.2.0.5, you will also be needing the installation of Flash Player and Adobe SVG Plugin, both to be installed in your browser.
Kind regards
Rob

When previewing my website in Dreamweaver flash crashed - I need to change the security settings but don't know how to do this

I use Dreamweaver and Adobe Bridge to create slide shows on my website. When 'previewing' the slideshow - in Dreamweaver it opens Firefox - it crashed and the dialogue box opens telling me to change my 'settings' - it doesn't do this if I preview in IE - which I don't understand. I need help in knowing where to go to change the security settings so that this doesn't happen. Incidentally, when I am on the web through Firefox, my website slideshows work perfectly>

You can set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to to -1 on the about:config page to disable the timeout.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I want to install Flash on a computer with no internet access. How do I do this?

I want to install Flash on a computer with no internet access. When I tried to download, I got a message that Flash is already installed. Yes, it is, on my PC. I want it on my laptop, too. How do I accomplish this?

Download the Adobe Flash Player offline FULL installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE), "Save Link As" (FIrefox) or "Download Linked File As" (Safari).

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks

If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

Flash security settings not coming up in Firefox 17.0

Hi I have been successfully running my web project on Firefox browser till now.
I am using adobe flash 11.5 version in my project and i am using the same for recording audio and video from webcam and the headsets.
Before today everything was working quite good ,until..
I updated my firefox browser to version 17.0 and found that my flash security settings just vanished in the thin air.
I mean my flash used to show security settings(if the settings are set to deny or ask me mode),but after the update of firefox 17.0 ,i am not getting any security settings windows from flash.
I am manually changing the settings using control panel.I cant ask my users to do this.
So please look into this and provide a fix as soon as possible.
Thanks

code up here (specifically that which embeds the flash in the

Flash security settings panel

I am new to FlashPro CS5. I need to use it with SlideShowPro Director and the associated product 'ThumbGrid'.
I followed the instructions and settings from SlideShow Pro but nothing happens when I publish. They say I need to go to the flash security settings panel and add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from.
I cannot find the flash security settings panel. Can I get a hint on where to find the flash security settings panel. I need to add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from
Has anyone in the forum had experience with SlideShowPro Director or Thumb Grid.

Its okay continue with the thread, the next thing is about the crossdomain policy, you should also know about that for these kind of issues, let see with the following links:

You Tube Widget - Flash Security Settings

Hello,
I managed to embed sucessfully a You Tube video by using flash factor widget. It works when published to a web server no problem. However it looks like anybody else who views it has to adjust their flash security settings.
Is there away around this issue?
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou
Alison

Hi all
One way past this would be to include and install a light web server known as "Server2Go". It's pretty simple to install and it tricks the Flash Player into thinking the content is running from a server.

Using Creative Cloud on a desktop in a rural area with no Internet access

I have a Creative Cloud subscription for my home desktop. I will soon be participating in a photography workshop in a rural area with NO INTERNET ACCESS. I don't own a laptop and will be hauling my desktop to the place we're staying. I know the software is installed on the machine and I should be fine with using it without online access, correct? Am I also correct in thinking it won't be "seen" as being used on a second computer because while I use it on this trip I won't have Internet access and therefore no IP address?

Hi there
The only thing that might cause you trouble is if your workshop is over a month long. While using applications downloaded from Creative Cloud, internet access is required once a month for a routine license check. Here's a snipet from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?
Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
A quick note: if the product is unable to verify your license at the 30 day mark, a 7-day grace period will begin. However, if you are not able to access internet within those 7 days, your applications will be blocked (Soucre: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4513667#4513667)
Regarding your second question - as long as you are using the same device you already have your applications installed on, you'll still only have one device registered to your account.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to post here again.
Cheers!

i recently bought an i phone 5, but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
i do not know what reason, but i went to apple store, Ha, the phone can go to Wi - Fi and connected is good.

but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
What does "it is continued when off" mean?
And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

A basic phone with no internet access.

I need a phone for my son with no internet access whatsoever. I have him set up on a plan that allows me to block data but if he has access to wifi he can still access the internet. I am talking about non smartphones. I am frustrated and disappointed that AT&T (or anyone else) does not offer a phone that is not wifi enabled. Even a $9.99 tracfone gives web access!

Thanks to both of you for your replies. My son only needs a phone when he travels which is about 10 days out of the year so gophone is definitely the way to go. I just found that you have to be very careful with the phone that you use. Most phones today - even the $10-$15 flip phones - allow WiFi access. You can block paid data use on the phone but if a phone allows for WiFi connectivity there is no way to block that access in public places where WiFi is free (i.e. airports). I had to go with an older (used) phone to find one that did not have WiFi connectivity. We had an old Pantech Laser laying around that worked. Then I had to have AT&T block the data to the phone. FYI for gophones they cannot block this in the store you have to call in and do it over the phone. This was not explained to me and so the first trip with the phone my son was accessing data. I gave AT&T an earful as I had carefully explained I needed data blocked and was told it was done. They credited me the data charges. I am not sure if the AT&T Z222 has WiFi capability or not. In the specs it says it does but the salespeople at the AT&T store says it does not. I had originally tried a $9.99 Tracfone from Walmart and was told that it did not have data access. That information was incorrect.
