I haven't really looked into the differences between standalone and AIR - haven't created a projector in years - but my guess is
that because you have to install an AIR application (and are therefor informed/warned about the risks that entails) it is allowed to
do more than a standalone executable (projector).
So basically there are 3 different player security models:
- Standalone
- AIR
- Browser plugin
Here's an article explaining the AIR security model:

@Johan:
Please check out the code included at the end of this post. I've created a small AIR application (with a certificate) and it works
without a problem.
Am I missing something?
Yes, as I explained earlier, this has nothing to do with HTTPService.
This is about different sandboxes: standalone, AIR and the browser.

Hi,
It's an AS2 Flash application running standalone on Linux requesting stuff from the localhost on various ports - the irritating
thing is I still have to implement x-domain files / responses on every port I connect to, I tried setting a policy server up on
the default port as per the instructions on the devnet site, but this did not work..
My point is that the standalone Flash application is an exe, like Air, so implies that a higher level of trust is required to
run it, therefore it should be allowed more "liberty" than a browser based Flash app. This is one of the most irritating things
about doing standalone stuff - I can't load files from the file system because I am requesting over the network. I am doing
standalone because this is legacy stuff for a kiosk...
Glen
