True, but the trust files are designed to be used by executable installer programs. The applications we have developed (and I'm guessing the original authors as well) needed to be run totally from the CD-ROM/DVD and thus no installing.
Anyone know of a way to getting the trust files on the users machine with something as simple as "This application needs to install a Flash player trust file: Allow, Deny?" dialog box? -Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muzak Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] basic flash games development issues You can install a file on the client that will make your CD/DVD app trusted and the user no longer needs to configure anything online. (in fact that's exactly what the security manager does -> writes a text file to disk) http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security_04.html Read the "FlashPlayerTrust configuration files" part. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holth, Daniel C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 3:17 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] basic flash games development issues We've built some applications for CD, and have run into 'security sandbox' issues. They were very frustrating. The DVD will be considered 'local content', and you can read about the issues here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/articles/localcontent/ When you begin testing your applications, make sure you are doing so with 'default' security settings in Flash. I'm guessing most of us have turned them to 'always allow' because we got security errors once and just turned them off, but you can't expect your clients to have that set, or want to change them. Without installing something on the users machine, changing the security settings requires access to the internet, (which is very silly IMO) but you may need to take internet-less users who won't be able to change their settings into account as well. As far as SharedObjects go, the user may be able to change them, and clearing their internet caches may delete the SharedObjects (and thus their scores). -Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com This e-mail and its attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain privileged, confidential or proprietary information.
