MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE Reference page 1089

If you publish SWF file content to be played back as local files (either locally installed SWF
files or projectors [EXE]), and you need to access a specific shared object from more than one
local SWF file, be aware that for local files, two different locations may be used to store shared
objects. The domain that is used depends on the security permissions granted to the local file
that created the shared object. Local files can have three different levels of permissions: 1)
access to the local filesystem only, 2) access to the network only, or 3) access to both the
network and the local filesystem. Local files with access to the local filesystem (either 1 or 3)
store their shared objects in one location. Local files with no access to the local filesystem (2)
store their shared objects in another location. For more information, see the following:
