Flash Player Security error when publishing HTML files

I am new to the Captivate world and am just in love with the
features - but I have been having a very difficult time publishing
my "movies". I have 8 files that are all called upon in one movie
(like a table of contents). I have abandon the though of publishing
each as an EXE file - and have decided to go the HTML route.
However when I try to run the published HTML file I get an Adobe
Flash Player Security error - saying "Adobe Flash Player has
stopped a potentially unsafe operation." It then says that the
local SWF file is trying to communicate with the Internet-enabled
HTM file.
Can someone please tell me what this means? We are using
Captivate for distance learning as well as internal - so I can't
know for sure what the end-users will be using when the files are
used.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to our community, Rachel
Where are you running your movie from? If you are planning on
running them from a server, there should be no need to worry about
your end user seeing those messages. However, if you are planning
on each user copying them to their own hard drive or if you are
running from a CD-ROM, you may need to perform some trickery to
make them work without issue.
The message is occurring because there are links in some of
the files that point to internet resources and the Flash player is
seeing that as a potential security risk. So it is blocking the
action until you pat it on the head and assure it the world will
not, in fact, end if it shows you the content.
If you wish to banish the screen on your PC, take a look at
the tutorial linked below.

  • Getting Flash Player Security Error when running extension.

    I had created a nifty utility which uses a Flash interface.  It worked fine in CS3, but after upgrading to CS4, I keep getting the Flash Player Security Error popup when I run it.
    =======================================
    Adobe Flash Player Security
    Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
    The following local application on your computer or network:
    C:\Program%20Files\Adobe\%20Photoshop%20CS4\Presets\...\ChopBot.swf
    is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
    <unknown>
    To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
    You must restart the application after changing your settings.
    [OK] [Settings...]
    In CS3, opening the Global Security Settings panel and adding the script's path to the trusted locations would fix this problem, and the utility would work going forward.
    In CS4, however, adding the script's path to the trusted locations seems to have no effect.
    I am using the ExternalInterface class in the Flash UI to communicate to and from the JavaScript.
    Has anyone else run into this issue and found a solution?

  • Error when publishing to file

    i keep getting "an unknown error" when publishing to file or publishing all to mobileme...
    It still works if i just publish to mobileme.
    Any ideas?
    Im trying to get my site going on go daddy, and kinda really need it in a folder...

    If you are still getting the error then its likely that you have a corrupt domain file.
    To prove this, quit iWeb, create a new folder on your desktop and drag your domain file out of - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - into this.
    Relaunch iWeb to force it to create a new domain file, add some content and try publishing to a folder.
    If this works, your original file is corrupt.

  • Error when editing HTML files - after check in

    Hi
    Version of portal = NE04SP15
    I have an HTML file, and after editing and check in of such a document, Norwegian characters are represented with some strange characters.
    Any idea how to solve this?
    Regards
    Kay-Arne

    I have the same issue, apparently when you edit locally an HTML document that was generated with “KM HTML Editing tool” it looses some kind of attribute that makes KM to recognize it as a “KM HTML file”. So then some characters do not get rendered correctly.
    If you find a solution for this issue please let me know.
    Other related issue is when you transport these HTML files from one enviroment to another, again KM will not recognice its own HTML docs and then some incorrect characters may appear.
    Regards Jeronimo

  • Adobe Flash Player Security Error

    I'm using Linkinus, a IRC Client for a mac. Whenever someone posts a youtube link, the client has a feature where it embeds the video within the program. However, I keep getting the following error when someone posts the video link.
    I tried clicking Settings, however no settings panel pops up. So I can't "Always Allow" Linkinus so I can get rid of this notification (which is also my question).

    Hello, try accessing the site directly here:http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
    The menu on the left side has the Global Security Settings, which is probably what you want.
    Thanks,

  • Class not registered error, when open HTML files.

    Hi guys, recently I've been facing this problem, everytime that I try to open a HTML file it shows the error message "class not registered", I've tried reinstalling and yet no luck, this only happens with firefox because I also have IE 10 and it works with that one but you know, I love firefox so I want to open them with it.
    Additional Info:
    I'm using firefox 20.0.1 on Windows 8

    Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser like IE as the default browser.

  • Getting error when publish fla file in CS5 environment

    When I publish a "fla" a file in CS5 environment, got following error.
    ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 1 5000: The class 'fl.controls.TextInput' must subclass 'flash.display.SimpleButton' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
    Please help with a solution.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your response..
    But didn't get much clarity from your suggestion. Hope you have deleted all button controls / components from fla file and re-create from Library..rt?
    Have any simple way to do this? In my case  around thirty controls in this fla file. So it is very difficult to delete and add the same. When we remove these controls missing th instance name also.
    Please suggest.

  • Flash Player security Pop up when using camera and microphone.

    Hello Friends
    Can any body suggest me how to remove flash player security pop up for camera and microphone through coding.
    Thanks in advance.

    The security pop-up was first introduced with FP7. If you want to bypass it I can name two ways off the top of my head:
    1. Regardless of ActionScript version (2.0/3.0) in the Flash authoring enviroment, in the Publish Settings dialogue box, the Flash tab, near the bottom choose Access Network Only from Local Playback Security.
    2. Publish your movie as a projector. Both of these techniques will allow to "play" your swf file locally.

  • When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
    However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

  • Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

    Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
    The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
    I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
    How do I fix this?

    It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
    But I'm curious. . .  according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

  • I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Block Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Adobe Flash Player Security on Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Hello, I need some help. I keep getting an Adobe Flash Player Security warning every time I try to load Pandora on my Mac. I not sure if this is some form of spyware. I've tried to research it online but I can't find anything with this specific error message. Also I've run a few antivirus/spyware programs, but turned up with nothing. I've never come across it before when using Pandora in the past, so I know it's something out of the ordinary.
    Thank you all very much for the assistance.

    There's a local file "/about/srcdoc" (I'd imagine it's in the Muse-Pandora folder) that's attempting to connect to the Internet. This is a "safety feature" built into Flash Player to prevent malicious files from connecting and downloading a virus. Why they have that for Mac OS I do-not-even-pretend-to-know, but it's there.
    Open your System Preferences and the Flash Player pref pane
    Click the "Advanced" tab in the Flash Player Settings Manager window
    Scroll down to Developer Toos and click "Trusted Location Settings...:
    Click "Add Folder..."
    Select the Muse-Pandora folder in your Applications folder
    Confirm
    Close the Manager and retry it.

  • 404 error when publishing to FTP server.

    I'm getting the 404 error when publishing my iWeb site to my FTP server.  Please help.
    It says I have a good connection and publishes but then I get the error when I "Click to go to the site."  I've read where I have to upload the file to my server but with the file index_html.  Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?

    I'm getting the 404 error when publishing my iWeb site to my FTP server.  Please help.
    It says I have a good connection and publishes but then I get the error when I "Click to go to the site."
    A 404 errors means the file is not on the server.
    Checking the connection is just testing the FTP connection.
    I've read where I have to upload the file to my server but with the file index_html.  Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?
    Do I rename my iWeb file, domain, to index_html?
    No, you don't. The domain file is where iWeb  stores its assets. It stays on your computer. It has no meaning outside it. iWeb publishes the index.html file and all the other files.
    Read this : The concept of iWeb Sites
    So if your pages do not load, check for their presence on the server.
