Local and network playback security
Flash Player 8 and later include a security model that lets you determine the local and network playback security for
SWF files that you publish. By default, SWF files are granted read access to local files and networks. However, a SWF
file with local access cannot communicate with the network, and the SWF file cannot send files or information to
any networks.
Allow SWF files to access network resources, letting the SWF file send and receive data. If you grant the SWF file
access to network resources, local access is disabled, protecting information on the local computer from potentially
being uploaded to the network.
To select the local or network playback security model for your published SWF files, use the Publish Settings dialog box.
