I have the latest shock wave (11.9.900.117) add-on installed to my Firefox (24).

When i download and run the sample test.html file nothing is happening.But when i run the same demo linked (http://pixelgraphics.us/downloadify/test.html) HTML from Git hub works as expected.

Also i have tried this with my project too, same kind of output, nothing happens but the button hides.There are no error messages shown or can be caught since i cant go through the swfobject.js file.

I am using javascript alone, not jquery etc.

Is there anything that i am missing some basic stuffs?

Also asked in https://github.com/dcneiner/Downloadify/issues/34. Any simple working examples would be helpfull.!!

Thanks in advance.

    I'm not going to dig any deeper as to how it's coded but it would appear to be falling victim to the stricter [same-origin policy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy) on the [`file://`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Same-origin_policy_for_file:_URIs) system. It may not interact with a server but it still needs to be served from one (unless you disable certain security settings in your browser). – Emissary Oct 24 '13 at 18:36

    My guess is that you are trying to use it at the `file://` protocol as ell - but if not, please add more to your question. – Doug Neiner Oct 26 '13 at 02:05

I know this question is old, but for anyone who encounters the same problem, here is how I solved it.

If you want to run Downlodify from the local filesystem you need to edit the Flash Player Global Security Settings and add the Downlodify folder as a trusted location.

Currently the settings can be edited here. The location URI looks like this file:///C:/Users/Name/Desktop/Downloadify-master
