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
Regards,
Matt

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 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

can we get a link to see for ourselves? Or paste the HTML
code up here (specifically that which embeds the flash in the
page)

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.
Site to obtain Server2Go:

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.

701 offline no internet connection

When offline wifi opens but internet connection not. In online mode the internet opens in 3g phone connection and in Wifi connection.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are any other apps able to connect to the internet through Wifi? If other apps can connect without problems, then, in Web browser, go to Options--> Settings-->General--> Access point-->Internet-->Options-->choose Select. Under this last "Options", do not choose "Select access point".
Otherwise, if you can connect to your wifi network, but no apps can reach the internet, do this:
While you are connected to wifi, pull down top menu from home screen. Under Activities, touch where it says Wi-Fi and the name of your network. Then, touch the lower right corner (the 3 bars), Choose Settings. Make sure that Power Saving is enabled, but that Advanced power saving is disabled. If this still does not solve the problem, then disable power saving altogether.
If STILL no luck, then go back to the list of wifi connections, and remove the name of the wifi access point you're trying to connect to. Allow the phone to find it again anew. BTW, can the 701 connect to other wifi networks without problems? If so, then perhaps it's a peculiar mismatch between the wireless router and your phone. See if you can reset the router, or have it switch channels.
If none of the above work, then you might have to consider restoring default phone settings, or even reinstalling system software. Lastly, hardware repair, but good luck with that one at this point.

Manually editting Flash security settings

I work in a small network that does not have internet access.
Flash prevents me from running any lessons from the LAN as it wants
to point to adobe.com (which it cant). is there anyway i can access
the file, that already resides on my machine, without having to go
thru adobe.com ?? i found the file (settings.sol) but can't edit it
using wordpad or notepad. i tried and it didn't work. i can't take
an existing file and replace this one for a few reasons nor can i
copy the lesson down to my HD and run it from there. any advice
here would be great.

I found your wording to be a bit hard to follow poppabear...
it wasn't clear why Flash Player wanted to hit adobe.com.
I think what you're looking for is a way to control Flash
Player Settings Manager without having to connect to it. Common
question (which I answered in another post today already). You can
do that by distributing an MMS.CFG file on your local machines.
You can learn more about that here:

Flash security settings in javascript

hello all - (newbie here)
is there a way i can read the flash player camera/microphone security settings from javascript?
i need to be able to determine from jscript if somebody selected "allow" or "deny" for the camera/microphone.
also, is there a way in jscript i can determine when somebody hits the "close" button in the security question popup?
i am playing around with the html object-map-coords tags but that does not seem to be working.
or even better: can i determine via javascript when somebody hits the "close" button after answering the security questions?
NOTE: i dont have any access to the action-script.
thank you!

I don't kknow of any easy/automatic way to do it, but It can
be faked...
You can put the javascript on the html page calling on the
flash file. Inside the flash file use a preloader to determine when
the page is fully loaded. Then instead of just playing the movie
put in a
getURL("javascript:name();");
function to call the javascript once the page is fully
loaded.
This will do what you want. However thanks to new flash
security it probably will not work until you publish the file to a
server. There may be an easier way but I don't know it.

Transferred old apple settings, now no Internet connection

I just transferred all my old settings from my old Airport Extreme to the new Dual Band one. I then followed the prompts and unplugged the old AE, and plugged the WAN connection into the new AE.
Now, I have no internet, although my new AEDB shows green light... Anyone know what I can do about this?

I have solved this issue. It was a combination of two problems. When I migrated the settings from the old machine, I also created a Guest Network for a friend that was visiting. My Macbook Pro joined the Guest Network which for some reason was NOT sharing Internet connection.
The solution was to turn off the Guest Network and allow the MBP to connect to the correct IP range.
Chances are that not completely restarting the machine was a reason for not being able to join, but I did restart the machine yesterday a few times and wasn't getting any help.
Anyhow, for whatever it is worth, my situation is solved. Not sure what will happen when I need to re-enable the guest network.

Flash Security Settings and Random Questions not Displaying

Hey folks,
I created a Captivate 4 project with 3 slides and a question pool of about 70 questions in which I am randomly pulling in. I am using IE7 and Flash 10. Publishing in Flash 10. If I publish or view in Preview in a web browser the project launches, plays the first 3 slides, and then goes blank when the first question should appear. Note: previewing the project AND publishing the project as an .exe does launch and display all the questions correctly. It ends up being a flash security issue. I went to the adobe site and via the Adobe Flash Player Security Manager" I entered in the main .SWF captivate-generated file as a trusted file and then re-ran the published captivate project and it ran correctly. Question is ... what do I need to do to set up flash or my project so I don't have to do this for every new project that I deploy? I don't want to have the users have to go in and add whatever I deploy as a trusted file. It's also a little confusing as to why the first three slides played and it stopped at the questions ... seems like if it's not a trusted file, that it wouldn't run at all.
Thanks for any help!
Chris

Hello again
I think I'd be investigating a temporary web server to host on until things are ready. Here's where it will help.
By providing files to the end users, if you are copying files over you end up having to explain how to save the files. You then have to walk them through setting the Flash Security so they can properly view. It all just becomes a pain in the kazoo.
If you can find some server space, you simply upload the content and provide a link for the users to view the content.
Other than that, if you are insistent that copying is the way to fly, I might suggest you establish a known location where you want everyone to copy their files. Perhaps C:\TestFolder. Then provide some instruction on how to configure the folder with the relaxed Flash Security. From there forward, anything they copy to the folder should need no security adjustment.
Cheers... Rick

Firefox settings for unreliable Internet connection

Hi.
I'm running FF 24 on an Internet connection which has frequent dropped packets and is slow.
I've not tested this, but apparently FF does not have a preference to handle data transfer timeouts (or does it?).
After sending a GET requests over a TCP connection, suppose the data transfer halts at TCP level; the instead of trying to reestablishing a fresh TCP connection to complete the GET request, FF waits for it forever....
wget on the other hand behaves the correct way.
I've tried setting network.http.connection-timeout to 5, but it doesn't make a difference.

Hi, Valerie -
PPPoE is not required by all broadband connections; mine (DSL from the local telephone company) does not need it. PPPoE software is not included with an OS 9 install, nor apparently available for download from Apple. It should be provided by your ISP according to these Apple KBase articles -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42714
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106868
You may be able to simply copy the PPPoE control panel (and any extensions that may be associated with it) from the iMac to the G4.
This Apple KBase article has general info about connecting via broadband various ways -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106867
Some comments re ethernet -
• If your G4 is older than a Gigabit Ethernet model (meaning if it is a G4 (AGP) or G4 (PCI) model), then it does not have an auto-switching ethernet port.
If this is the case, you would need to use a Crossover type ethernet cable to connect the modem directly to the G4, rather than a Patch type which should be used to connect the Mac using an intermediate device such as an ethernet hub, switch, or router.
It is difficult to tell Crossover and Patch (also called Straight-through) cables apart unless the cable itself is marked. One way they can be identified is by examining the color-coding of the wires in the end connectors -
Ethernet Cable: Color Coding Standard
• On many Mac models the ethernet bus is disabled during startup if the Mac does not detect a live device connected to the port at startup. This means that if a device such as a modem is direct connected to such models, the modem must be turned on and warmed up a bit before booting the Mac.
Many folk have found that adding a hub or switch, and leaving it on, simplifies meeting that requirement.

Webservice and Flash Security Settings

I have a flash file that is making a call to a webservice on
another domain. When I run the flash file it gives me the message
where it says it's trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled
location. I don't want to have the user to have to change their
settings manually. Is there a way to allow the url of the
webservice so the user does not have to change their settings?
Thanks,
Tony

You can generally set a cross domain policy for these kinds
of things, but it gets trickier depending on what webservice you're
using. I'm having a similar problem with a java servlet.
