Security Settings Panel Sucks!

Sucks

I am sorry but this whole security model for Developers working locally really sucks. Why do I have to go to a settings page on Adobe’s site to configure my player’s local settings anyways? You would think that if developers had the Debug Player installed we wouldn’t be subjected to this kind of jumping through hoops when testing things locally. Just felt like ranting a little. Anyone else feel the same?

  • Yup agreed, ditch and improve!
  • The Global Setting Panel must die, and it must do so soon.
  • I concur.

    Yes. It badly sucks.
  • Nice to know I am not alone here...

    Dude I spent the last three days trying to figure out why none of my xml would load in the Flash 10 player. Thanks for the rant...saved me from any more frustration due to that 'Suckurity' Settings panel.
  • Not only is it ridiculous, but on one machine I had to uninstall and reinstall the flash plugin several times in order for it to allowScriptAccess locally. For some reason I could put the location as safe in the flash panel, but it would then block the location completely.
  • Yes. It does suck.

Inspiration

If asked how to cope with a great host of the enemy in orderly array and on the point of marching to the attack, I should say: "Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will." Rapidity is the essence of war: take advantage of the enemy's unreadiness, make your way by unexpected routes, and attack unguarded spots.

by Sun Tzu, the Art of War
