I see what you're saying, and yeah, i thought about that - hence my question.
What's the difference between me opting to run a projector and running a SWF in a panel in the IDE (exe) OR the local Flash Player (exe)? Aren't I opting "in" for the same exact things? I guess there's gotta be some holes in that, but it seems like there's close enough similarities in use case that I could make an argument for Adobe to put in the ability to do such things, but warn the user (just like they do with the sandbox security).
