Flash Local Content Updater

[This is an FYI post and is a copy paste from the Adobe Flash Player Downloads page :) ]

The Local Content Updater (LCU) is a free command-line utility that can add, remove, or check for local-with-networking privileges, operating on one or many SWFs. This tool allows you to change the security sandbox that the SWF file operates in when it is played as a local file in Flash Player 8 and above. <!–For more information, see the article Security Changes in Flash Player 8. –>

C++ source code for the Local Content Updater is also available. Download the source code if you wish to see how the Local Content Updater works, port it to another platform, investigate bugs, integrate it into scripts, etc.

    Hello Rag,

    Do you know any easy way of enabling and disabling a List´s item? I want to iterate over the List´s items and enable/disable each one in a IF clause.

    Thanks a lot. Your blog very helpful!

    Regards from Brazil.
