Is there any safe way to allow Flash files on VB from other people on the forums???
 

I know the general rule of Forums and Flash, but more and more i see the streaming flash movies on some community sites out there. That people upload to their online profiles.

Is there anything I should know? Or is this just a risk these sites are taking?

it is a rick

please use the SEARCH engine, ... keywords : upload + flash would bring these hacks;

as you see, there are solutions... and discussions about the situations...

and Flash is not that risky... or it would be banned from the net for long!

Flash is apparently the reason why myspace is being hacked left and right.. Through actionscript.

it'd be nice if there were a way to disabled action script via the html tag... that way we could allow animations and such yet disable potential security holes.

myspace.com is one among the millions of websites where people can upload flash files... if only that site is to point out, maybe the site itself is not that well managed...

at macromedia.com there are documentations about flash and security...

Well, I agree completely. But I thought the fact that Myspace isn't well managed went without saying. ;)

Flash itself is not the problem. The problem comes from allowing an untrusted user to place a flash file on a public webpage.
