can't access local resource error

[illuzioner]

hi,

anyone know how to fix as3 runtime error 2148? i'm trying to load a png file
on my dev machine, but keep getting this:

"2148 SWF file _ cannot access local resource _. Only local-with-filesystem
and trusted local SWF files may access local resources."

the docs only list the error. no explanation (like most of their errors --
sheesh!) of how to fix it or anything.

how can i fix this??

thnx to all
lou
p.s. using flex builder 3

You cannot access any local resources from a Flex app running under the Flash
Player hosted in a browser. It is a security thing. No workarounds, well
maybe, but very complicated.

If you must access the local file system, you will have to run your app under
AIR.

Another note:
Running an app under Flex Builder is deceiving because FB is installed into a
trusted sandbox and can access most anything. (but not the local file system)

Before you go too far, deploy your app to a web server and solve the security
problems.

Lets just execute the damn jerks that make this security crap necessary.

actually i found a workaround.

I added "-use-network=false" to my compiler options and now it works.

although i agree that those "people" who make all this security crap necessary
deserve a firing squad.

I tried adding the "-use-network=false" in the compiler options but the same error occurs. Is there other ways to solve this issue?

"-use-network=false" will lead to a new error number. I tried everything and gave-up and accepted the fact "Flec cannot access local HD" . Now I am breaking my head in configuring linux server.
