Ok, so the main AIR application is loaded into the application sandbox. We are loading "modules" from the app-storage directory into the application. (these are not Flex modules, but SWFs with our specific sandbox bridge)
A local SWF loaded into the application will reside in the local-trusted, local-with-file, or local-with-network security sandbox, as the documentation states here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflash/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7f05.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e3c In the first case the user needs to explicitly trust the SWF through the Global Security Manager. (which btw doesn't work for me, later on this.) The second and third case are depending on how the SWF was compiled, with network access, or without it. (use-network flag) I want to use the local-with-network sandbox, so I set use-network=true as the compiler option. But the SWF is always loaded into the local-with-file sandbox, and I can't imagine why. This is our problem. I also tried the desktop directory to load SWFs from and it worked as expected. I hope this clear things up. And thanks for your time. Daniel Sidenote: >From what I see I guess there's a problem with URI schemes. App storage >directory has it's own URI scheme (app-storage:/).

On the other hand using the File.desktopDirectory is working as expected, it is resolved with the file URI scheme (file://). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > I think we need a better explanation.
