Works in flash IDE, but not in Flash Player

[Rocketboy]

When I compile my project in the Flash CS3 IDE, it works fine, but when I open the SWF and run it through Flash Player, the program does not work.

If I run it locally, embedded in an HTML page it doesn't work either. I am using the Flash debug player, and not getting any errors. So what could possibly be going on?

This makes it very difficult to debug, since I can see any of my trace statements. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Um... When you say it does not work, you've got to give us some more information on what's not working so that we can help you better... Please remember that we do not see what you see... ;)

I understand that, I just thought maybe there were some common reasons an app might work in the IDE, but not outside it that people would know about.

I just figured out that it was the Flash security sandbox restriction, preventing me from loading external content.

I changed my global security settings to trust the location and now its working fine. Thank you :)

Glad to hear that you sorted out... ;)
