Change Flash Security Settings? Security ManagerOffline?

[nigelnigelnigel]

Hello

I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content which when I run
it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the page is trying to access other
content etc.

I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont have internet at
home, I understand I need the global manager security settings panel which of
course shows fine on this intenet conencted machine but at home it just brings
up a dead URL because of no tcp/adsl etc.


I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of times before Im
sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every one and good luck Adobe.

The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash player is
effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to not have local, offline
access to adjust settings to a local piece of software, even if it is a
plug-in. That goes to the heart of it right there. The settings are stored
locally, so what the hell is the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it
specifically says it is not going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal
data on your system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they know they
have a front door into everyone's machine that made the mistake of installing
the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had a big deal about it because they
put it in the WinXP install and sure enough, flash player had a huge security
hole. They knew it and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.

You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally rather than
relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe clearly wants to your system.

Adobe should be set on fire for this kind behavior.
