Flash Player Security Changes in FP 9,0,115,0

Adobe has just released a new update with some Flash player security changes. These changes can keep people from successfully using existing applications that load external data (applications that work with older players). Thank you Adobe.

The good news for ElectroServer 3 and ElectroServer 4 developers is that you will likely not be affected by this change. The changes in the security model take pages to explain and can be read here:

To sum it up succinctly - Policy files are always required for socket-driven applications. Since ES automatically serves up a policy file on connection, and since ES4 loads a policy file by default, then ES4 developers should be the only Flashers out there not sweating right now!
