Any resolution on this? Because I get the same security error reported above. This is on Mac Safari, Flash player 10 debug.

Hi peter,
thanks you so much for this solution…Its works really to me.I was facing it from the code of http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/flexbook/
Now it works with remote server by setting trustContent to true with Image and SWF Loader…Really appreciate it..

I still get the following error (when loading this page in Firefox 3.0.5):

SecurityError: Error #2147: Forbidden protocol in URL
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg
.
at flash.display::Loader/_load()
at flash.display::Loader/load()
at mx.controls::SWFLoader/loadContent()
at mx.controls::SWFLoader/load()

at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2()
at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()

And I found out it’s because the URL of the image has a large blank space before it. After editing that part of the code into one line, it worked fine for me. Your example works in Internet Explorer just fine though, perhaps because IE ignores the leading blank space(s) when retrieving the image.

It’s working fine.
But the reason why it’s working is because of that : http://www.helpexamples.com/crossdomain.xml

If you don’t have a cross domain on the external URL it will not work to due to Flash Player sandbox restrictions.

Tom,

I haven’t looked at this example in a long time, but you may want to try uploading your SWF files to an HTTP server and try running it over the web instead of locally.
