Flash player 8 and localconnections???

[smazherhq]

I was using local connections in an application that i was creating for one of my clients. In that application, i was using localconnections for uploading files to server using ASP.NET and then via local connection, i was informing my main flash movie upload the progress of uploaded file. But since i have installed flsah player 8 beta, my local connection is not workingin browser as in IDE, i have flash player 7 and working fine, but once i preview the file in any browser in which i have installed flash player 8 beta, my local connection is not working even if i dont convert the file to flash player 8 file format using the available convertors. Since i am using some features of flash 8 like filters and blendings, so what should i do for enabling my local connection to work as they used to do.

Check if this movie works with Flash 8. This is local connection:

They have changed the security settings of the Flash 8 player, that may have something to do with it. I'd recommend you file a bug report at http://www.macromedia.com/bin/fp8betafeedback.cgi? as soon as possible, before they release the final version.

Hi Guys! I have filed my error report to the flash player bug reporting area.

To rdoyle720: Yes, the movies in that link are not wroking(means not communicating via local connection).

Lets see what happens

Hey Guys! I have just heard from Macromedia Flash Player's team spoksman and this is what he said:

"I think this is to do with the local content security.
We have enhanced the local security and now you have to enter all the
local files that you wish to give access to with the Flash Player in the
settings manager."

So any clues about how to change the security settings.

Ya, i have read that thread already. But the problem is, this settings panel will be available after final release of FP8, untill then, my work will be pending as my clients are using FP8 and fp8 does not supports local connections until unless it is defined at development time in the settngs dialogue that is not available in current release.
