Hi, html on the desktop is not going work, but you might have some luck when updating the security settings. I have the following batch file in most of my projects: @echo off rem echo %APPDATA% rem echo %CD% echo [Enter name for security file inserted into %APPDATA%]: echo (use a single keyword, no spaces, no dots and no .cfg in it) SET /p fileName= echo Creating %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\%fileName%.cfg echo %CD% >> "%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\%fileName%.cfg"
Store it in a batch file in the same dir as your fla, run it and enter some bogus keyword to identify your settings with, eg desktop. regards JC On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 1:08 AM, Barry Hannah <ba...@shift.co.nz> wrote: > AFAIK ExternalInterface doesn't work in the standalone player, only in the > browser. > > You should be getting error messages to that effect.
