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:

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)

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.

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

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:

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

Won't comment on that one :) Something just seem way

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.

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

Matt

Flash Player Settings Panel Disabled in Chrome

I am running the latest version of Flash 10.1. I disabled the built in version and installed Flash Player manually. I am executing an application that requires me to "allow" peer to peer traffic.
However, when the settings panel comes up for me to click to "Allow peer to peer"... I can't click on the button. The dialog box seems disabled.
Is this a known problem?
My version of Google Chrome is 5.0.375.127
Flash Player Version is 10,1,53,64
Thanks,
Brian.

Hi mirage1959, Post back whether your XP is a 64bit or 32 bit system. Also aside from Chrome, what version of IE do you use and do you use any other browsers? Then have you Installed Flash Player in these other browsers?
In the Chrome browser, what add ons/plugins/extensions are listed?
With that information, I'll be able to give you some directions. This needs cleared up before you do anything else.
Thanks,

Adobe flash security setting panel error

Issue is the following page no longer works as of today flash security setting https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.ht ml so went to instead https://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html however this does not function properly either, when I select the edit location and folder or files it closes and can't therefore set the setting. We use flash for a important application and users are currently affected as they can't get on as it doesn't work and can't get past this issue. Urgent issue.

Hi, I guess this is (almost) the same for Windows 2000 users? I have several folders with older Adobe/Shockwave appdata in my German Windows 2000 installation, e.g. C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Flash Player and/or C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Application Data\Adobe\Shockwave Player 11, created on the date or shortly after OS installation. So it's safe to simply delete them with all their content if you have this issue of a freezing Adobe Flash setting panel?
By the way, I'm asking because I also experience freezing problems now with Flash content on sites that worked fine before the update to the latest plugin. Disabling hardware acceleration in v10.1. didn't help either, I'm using the newest Opera 10.60 final, but on a very old computer.

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

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:

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.

No Global security settings for my localhost, Help?

Player 9
I develop flash apps in localhost and I receive that error
message:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potential unsafe operation
The following local application on your computer or network:
/Application/MAMP/htdocs/joomlagraf/modules/.../ssp.swf is
trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
localhost
I beleive you can fix that in the Global security settings,
but this panel is absent when I right click on my flash movie. I
got —> Privacy/Local Storage/Microphone/Camera only, on a
fresh player 9 install.
How can I access that Global security settings panel, what
can I do???????????
My work is stopped......... Help!

Hi Popocatepelt,
Glad to hear that worked for you….
Local Access Only allows the published SWF file to interact
with files on the local system, but not on the network. Access
Network Only lets the published SWF file interact with files and
resources on the network, but not on the local system.
For more info take a look at the following

Problems with Captivate Redirects, possibly Flash Security and XML

Hello fellow Captivarians,
First a little backstory, earlier in the year we developed a course that heavily used external image files, which were gathered and organised through an XML file, then placed into Captivate 4 through a widget. This was all developed in Actionscript 3 and was designed to be accessed locally, on the user's computer from a CD Drive.
We had a whole deal of issues with Captivate and Flash security issues, finding that we could not get the importing to work correctly in Internet Explorer as it outright refused to import the XML file (Presumably because of security issues). However, Firefox would work fine. Eventually we got it working via a bandaid solution by prepackaging the course with a firefox portable install.
Now many months later, we have discovered our previous solution still works, but it now outright denies any redirects from HTML page to HTML page, regardless if the content is on the CD or if it's on the harddrive. Buttons that link to external sources will not work, (even if it's just a local page in the same directory).Flash player simply refuses to redirect between HTML pages. We tried some older projects that were developed in AS2 - and this wasn't an issue.
The odd thing is however, on my computer it still works fine. However, on everyone elses in our office, it will not redirect at all. We are all running the same version of Flash Player, and the same version of Firefox...
Any ideas? Could it have been a recent update with the Flash Player that prevents this sort of interaction?
Cheers.

Hi there
Have you tried configuring the Flash Security Settings? That's my guess.
Click here for a tutorial on how to configure
If this will be on CD-ROM or DVD, you may need to consider adding a light version of a Web Server to the media and launching via that.
