RE: [flexcoders] FP 9 Sandbox Bug Between Firefox and IE?

[Matt Chotin]

My undersatnding is that it’s a bug in IE (marked in our bugbase as Fact of Life which means not something we can fix or workaround).  I know that IE will throw security errors in most situations.  Depending on how you were testing it is likely you have a FlashPlayerTrust file that IE is finding to allow things to work (and maybe it’s aggressive).  Most of your customers don’t have this, only developers with Flex Builder get it automatically.   If you have some more steps that reproduce in a random local directory (one where you don’t have any FB projects or source, maybe something off the desktop) we can verify.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Carabetta Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 7:41 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] FP 9 Sandbox Bug Between Firefox and IE?   On 9/20/06, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: > > I think this is a known issue. The viewSource SWF itself was probably not re-published with the network settings so even though the first SWF comes up correctly our view source logic is pre-compiled to use the network.

Is Firefox or IE acting correctly? 2) If Firefox is acting correctly, isn't that a pretty large security hole in IE because I don't even need to put the -use-network=false compiler flag in for it to execute my code? It just seems like this is a bit more than a "known issue" and it should be fixed up and an updated player released ASAP, no? I certainly don't want to yell "FIRE" in a crowded room, but the Flash Player executing code outside of the proper security sandbox is a pretty big deal, isn't it? (OK, so it was more than a couple of questions.)
