if you receive this error when trying to establish a local connection, don’t forget to add this to your code :
localconnectioninstance.client=this;
this is for redirecting requests to a different object other than the receiving local connection instance

like imakeinterfaces, said.. most often it is something simple. I was working on a flash player and couldn’t figure out why I kept getting this message after adding another mp3 file to the source directory.. one space between the song “title” on the xml play list and no space on the mp3 file name. (was working on very little sleep).. renamed the file and the error went away.

I just got the same error, but nothing of the above solutions worked for me. I tried loading external images from an xml, with was perfectly working a month ago. It still worked locally but as soon as i tried it online I got the Security Error.
Although the problem was solved when I set my directory permissions for the images folder to 777.

Good Luck everyone!

Now now, any technology that’s been around as long as Flash has will have its fair share of bugs and subsequent work-arounds. If you don’t like Flash, there’s plenty of other technologies that are viable alternatives. Try HTML, CSS and Javascript (although if you’re already this outraged at this minor bug, I doubt you’ll have the stomach to handle some of JS’ legendary idiosyncrasies).

I think my problem has to do with referencing an xml file, but I am using a CMS that references the file via a virtual directory.

So instead of:

_xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“http://www.example.com/site/data.xml”));

it has to be:

_xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“http://www.example.com/site/data/”));

I’m guessing Flash doesn’t like the later and that is why I am getting the error. Anyone else run into this problem?

I too started to get this error in FP10, when previously all had been OK in FP9
I tracked it down to the connection name parameter in LocalConnection objects. The name must be identical in both sending and receiving objects in terms of case.
So….
SWFOne.send(“inputMessage”, “MessageParser”);
SWFTwo.connect(“InputMessage”);
Will fail.

Check the url you’re trying to load. IOErrorEvent means the location of the file you’re trying to load doesn’t exist.

As far as I can tell, if you know enough Actionscript that you can code something that would generate this error, you should be able to understand the solutions offered both in my original post and in the comments that followed. I don’t think there’s any easier way to describe it than that.
