Is there some way to get my WebView subclass, to allow flash .swf
files to access html files that normally flash would not allow it to
do so?
What is happening, is that I have a directory like this on my
internal hard disk:
/a/b/c/d/e/flash.swf
flash.swf is accessing some javascripts at this url:
../../../sharedtoolkit/handystuff.js
Flash player doesn't seem to like the fact that I'm using ".." as a
directory, it raises security alerts, which unfortunately I can't
disable from within WebView! I need to disable it via my web browser.
Is there some way I can get my WebView subclass to allow certain kind
of flash resource acessing?
In case this jogs any memories: Flash mentions something about this:
"Some websites may access information from other sites using an older
system of security. This is usually harmless, but it is possible that
some sites could obtain unauthorized information using the older
system."
I'm not sure what the newer system of security is.
Ideally, I'd like some way for my WebView subclass to allow certain
flash requests that I can reasonably expect to be requested, without
affecting flash requests outside of my WebView subclass. The only
option I'm being given is to alter global settings, which I feel
could comprimise security. And it's a nuisance for the user.
The intended users are children who are not very computer literate.
Expecting them to deal with all this flash security stuff could kill
off 90% of the Mac user base!
