Playing Flash Content from CD-ROM: Troubleshooting Security Issues

Flash Player 9 may require you to change your security settings in order to view Flash Media on a local directory such as a hard drive or CD-ROM (the problem is, it may not alert you to change your security settings, so you may not even know there is a problem).

Note: You must be connected to the Internet to do this.

You can allow Flash content to play from CD-ROM as follows:

  1. Open the Flash Player Settings Manager by going to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

  2. Click on the Global Security Settings tab:
