Open swf file than works with socket

Sorry for my bad English.

I have the following problem:

I have a .fla file, that works with Socket class. There is a server(written in Delphi XE, but it does not matter). I connect to it from my .fla. When i execute my .fla from within Flash Professional CS5 everything works fine. But when i tried to execute resulting .swf from Explorer(Win 7, Flash Player 10) i got an error:

SecurityError: Error #2010: Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not
 permitted to use sockets. at flash.net::Socket/internalConnect() at
 flash.net::Socket/connect() at payterminal::TLogger() at
 payterminal::TMainTerminalClass() at
 testterminal_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Socket connects to the server as follows:

Sock.connect('127.0.0.1', 5243);

I tried to change setting "Local playback security" in "File->Publish settings" to "Access network only.

Ok. Flash player starts without errors, but it's send to server the following message:

<policy-file-request/>

After this socket connection closes.

I also tried to use the method Security.AllowDomain(), but it did not made no positive results.

There was another method i tried. The server has two listening sockets. The first listening on port 843. When this socket receive the message policy-file-request it send to .swf the crossdomain file, like this:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>  <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
 "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">  <!-- Policy
 file for xmlsocket://socks.mysite.com -->  <cross-domain-policy>  
     <allow-access-from domain="*"/>  
 </cross-domain-policy>

After it the socket(843) closes. But the second listening socket gets the same message: .

After all this, my .swf is still open in Flash Player with no errors, but the socket connection is not happening. I tried different crossdomain-files, but all my attempts led me to same result.

That's the problem i have. I look forward to your help. Thanks.

There is no problem with your cross-domain file.

Flash player's security features do not allow a local (file:// protocol) file to access the internet. To test your swf in a browser, you'll have to upload it to your server and then test it.

Or, you could download a server to install on your local machine for testing. I use wampserver

EDIT: Since you are already running a local server, try uploading to that. Then access your swf as http://127.0.0.1/mySwf.swf

user976479 this is perfectly normal behavior.
Flash player will first try to obtain the master xml policy file on port 843 and then try 5243 if it doesn't find a master.
Once the server responds to the request for the crossdomain flash player will close the connection(always).
I use the following crossdomain.xml for my socket server.
Remember once the domain policy is recieved you have to have the flash player reconnect a second time. The second time you will not be disconnected.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <cross-domain-policy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd">
  <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*"  />
</cross-domain-policy>

One last thing. use a port higher then 10k as the lower ports are usually reserved for other applications and there maybe be a conflict with that.
