IE shows white screen when playing local SWF files

[jmowrey]

Good morning all,

I've recently run into an issue with IE6 playing SWF files. As of now when i try to play a SWF file within IE6 I get nothing but a white screen. If I remove KB943460 the files play correctly....although I dont think this is the root of the problem.

My situation is that I have a vendor application that plays local SWF files on our workstations. The vendor app has a local cache of SWF content files that it plays based on triggered events. The application basically acts as an extention of IE when it trys to play the files. So, the application wont play the files and neither will native IE making this a system issue and not a vendor application issue.

The strange part is that IE shows that Shockwave and Flash are installed correctly. I can view flash content on a web page just fine. Adobe's page for testing the plugins also shows both as A-oK. It's only when I try to open a local SWF file that I have the problems. Also I do have units with the patch that dont experience the problem. Only some do. Making this very annoying.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Sounds like an IE local security thing. SWF is not meant to be run locally, but Projector (or AIR) is. Can you run on Firefox by the way?
