The Security Sandbox Violation SecurityError is an error code that occurs when a SWF attempts to access data not explicitly allowed by the security sandbox. This error code is accompanied by a message containing the details of the related file, and it can occur when a SWF attempts to access restricted local files, display information from a remote site, or access information stored on another server. In this document, we will explain the causes and fixes of the Security Sandbox Violation SecurityError.
Causes of the Error
The Security Sandbox Violation SecurityError occurs when a SWF file accesses data that isn't explicitly allowed by the security sandbox. The error may occur due to the following reasons:
The SWF file is attempting to access data from a remote server, which is not explicitly authorized by the security sandbox.
The SWF file is attempting to access files stored on the local computer, which is not explicitly authorized by the security sandbox.
The SWF file is attempting to access data from another file, which is not explicitly authorized by the security sandbox.
Fixes for the Error
To fix the Security Sandbox Violation SecurityError, it is necessary to ensure that the security sandbox is configured correctly to allow the SWF to access the files or data it needs. This can be done by granting the SWF file permissions to access the required files or data, or by enabling the SWF file to bypass the security sandbox.
Firstly, the security sandbox must be configured correctly to allow the SWF file to access the required files or data. The security restrictions can be modified using the Flash Player settings, or using the System.allowDomain() or System.allowInsecureDomain() methods.
If the SWF file is being hosted online, the SWF file must be granted access to the data on the remote server by adding a crossdomain.xml file to the root directory of the remote server. This file must grant the SWF file access to the required files or data.
It may be possible to bypass the security sandbox by allowing the SWF file to run in Flash Player Global Security mode. This mode allows the SWF file to access local data without requiring explicit authorization.
