About script access

Controls the ability to perform outbound scripting from within the Flash file.

This property can prevent a Flash file hosted from one domain from accessing a script in an HTML page that comes from another domain. Setting it to Forbidden for all SWF files hosted from another domain can ensure security of scripts located in an HTML page.

Allowed

Outbound scripting always succeeds.

Allow same domain

Outbound scripting succeds only if the Flash file is from the same domain as the HTML page. This is typically the default.

Forbidden

Outbound scripting always fails.

This property affects the following operations:

• flash.external.ExternalInterface.call static method
• flash.system.fscommand function
• flash.net.navigateToURL function, when used with javascript or another scripting scheme
• flash.net.navigateToURL function, when used with window name of _self, _parent, or _top.

About networking

Restricts browser communication. This property affects more APIs than the script access property.

Allowed

No networking restrictions. Flash Player plugin behaves normally. This is typically the default.

Allow inside Flash

Flash files cannot call browser navigation or browser interaction APIs (such as the flash.external.ExternalInterface.call static method, flash.system.fscommand function, and flash.net.navigateToURL function), but can call other networking APIs.

Forbidden

Flash files cannot call networking or Flash-to-Flash file communication APIs. In addition to the APIs restricted by the internal value, these include other methods such as flash.net.URLLoader.load method, flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile static method, and flash.net.SharedObject.getLocal static method

About window mode

This property modifies the relationship of the content bounding box or virtual window with content in the HTML page.

GPU and Direct modes are only available with Flash player earlier than version 10 and override hardware acceleration parameters provided by Flash file (used for external and standalone player)

Normal (window)

Drawing content directly to the screen. The HTML code cannot render above or below the Flash content.

Transparent (windowless)

This mode trie to do alpha blending on top od the HTML page. This allowing the HTML content to appear above and below the content.

Opaque (windowless)

Like transparent mode but background is overrided. Is like normal mode on OSX and Linux.

GPU

Use the available computing power of the graphics card to perform video playback and compositing of layered graphics. This provides another level of performance benefit depending on the user's graphics hardware.

Direct

This mode improves playback performance by drawing directly on the screen instead of letting the browser do the drawing.

About fullscreen

Allowed

Forbidden
