New security model and legacy SWF files

Rules for how Flash Player determines whether two domains are the same have changed in Flash
Player 7. In addition, rules that determine whether and how a SWF file served from an HTTP
domain can access a SWF file or load data from an HTTPS domain have changed. In most cases,
these changes won't affect you unless you are porting your existing SWF files to Flash Player 7.
However, if you have SWF files published for Flash Player 6 or earlier that load data from a file
stored on a server, and the calling SWF is playing in Flash Player 7, the user might see a dialog
box that didn't appear before, asking whether to allow access. You can prevent this dialog box
from appearing by implementing a policy file on the site where the data is stored. For more
information on this dialog box, see
