Hi -

I am embedding a flash application into a PDF document (using the "old" style of embedding that was available pre Reader V9). I am encountering an odd security error when this document is opened in IE with Reader running inside the browser. What I am seeing is:

Error running fscommand: Error #2149:

Security sandbox violation: <http://anthony.vitrium.com/TestInline/pdf000078d5/pdf000078d5.swf> cannot make fscommand calls to <unknown> (allowScriptAccess is )

This error only occurs when using Adobe Reader/Acrobat V9 displaying a document within IE V7 (we have not tested with IE 6). It does
not occur when viewing the same file in-browser with Firefox. Nor does it occur if Reader/Acrobat is set up such that PDF's don't open in the browser.

It doesn't make sense to me that this error should only occur for IE, and only when the document is opened in the browser.

Terry.
