How to get around "Adobe Flash Player stopped a potentially dangerous operation."?

I created an advent calendar for a friend’s blog, and to receive / receive / download gifts every day, flash animation requests a file located at http://domain.com/folder/etcetc/gifts.php ".

When creating a file in Flash CS4 and trying it, I never received an error. But when I try to run .swf manually, I get this error:

Adobe Flash Player stopped a potentially dangerous operation.

The following local application on your computer or network:

C: \ location \ file.swf

trying to reach this internet enabled location:

domain.com

For this application to connect to the Internet, click "Settings." After changing the settings, you must restart the application.

Is there a way around this or any other method that I can use to stop this error? I am currently using URLLoader and URLRequest , is there a better / faster / more efficient way to do this?

I found out that this problem was not relevant in the end, as it only happened when I opened the local .swf . When I uploaded it to my web server and tried to access the flash file using my web browser, it worked as intended.

you must add the location of the swf file (only c: \ or the exact path) to the trusted list in Adobe FlashPlayer Settings Manager to allow local swf to connect to the Internet

lol. It's fun. Try using Flash CS4 to create a mac / pc projector. Or create an AIR file. Running an item through Flash Player will have all sorts of rights issues. The projector removes these needs.

SWF files displayed the same message on the web page and in the browser, so I changed the version of the flash player in my HTML code to 9.0.45.0. Now it works great!
