MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-LEARNING ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 IN FLASH Manual page 691

You might want to provide a FlashAuthor.cfg file, with
to other developers in your design or development process or to users who test Flash
applications on their local hard disk and do not have the Flash 8 authoring tool installed. This
helps you mimic the end user's experience with your locally deployed content.
If the FlashAuthor.cfg file is deleted, the file is recreated when you launch the Flash 8
authoring tool.
In the #Security directory on your hard disk, you can create a FlashPlayerTrust directory
where you can store unique configuration files. Inside these files, you can specify directories or
applications to trust on your hard disk. This directory does not require administrative access,
so users without administrative permissions can set permissions for SWF files and test
applications.
If you do not specify a directory, your content might not function as intended. Configuration
files inside a FlashPlayerTrust directory contain directory paths. The file can contain a list of
several directories, and you can append new paths to the file. Flash Player expects one path per
line in configuration files. Any line that begins with a
before it) is treated as a comment.
To create a configuration file to trust a directory:
1.
Locate the #Security folder on your hard disk.
2.
Create a folder called FlashPlayerTrust inside the #Security folder.
3.
Create a new file in the FlashPlayerTrust directory using a text editor, and save it as
myTrustFiles.cfg.
You can use any unique name for your configuration file.
4. Locate the directory where you test Flash applications.
5. Type or paste each directory path (any directory path on your hard disk) on a new line in
the file. You can paste multiple directory paths on separate lines. When you finish, your
file looks similar to the following example:
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\My Documents\files\
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\My Documents\testapps\
6.
Save your changes to myTrustFiles.cfg.
7.
Test a document that accesses local and network files from the directory you added to
the file.
Flash applications saved in this directory can now access local files and the network.
There can be numerous directory paths saved in each configuration file, and numerous *.cfg
files saved in the FlashPlayerTrust directory.
