I have noticed this as well but only on IE6. My solution was to move the
background into a stylesheet, ex:
.applicationStyle{
background-image: Embed('c:/we/assets/ skins/design- empty1.png');
}
...
<mx:Application ....
styleName="applicationStyle"
..>

Subject: [flexcoders] Strange #2147 error
I am using an embedded PNG as the background for my app:
<mx:Application ....
backgroundImage="@Embed('c:/we/assets/ skins/design- empty1.png')"
..>
I have my Flash Global Security Setting set to:
Always trust files from these locations: 'c:\'
When I run the app it tells me 'SecurityError: Error #2147: Forbidden protocol
in URL @Embed('c:/we/assets/ skins/design- empty1.png')' - See below for full
details.
Additionally, this error was not present yesterday, and to the best of my
knowledge I have not made any changes to anything.
I have other PNGs embedded for button skins, and they are now throwing errors.
How do I fix this?
thanks
tom
