This approach should be carefully considered and should be in alignment with your company's security group recommendations. Troubleshooting the AllowListUrlPattern: As it may be necessary to add several AllowListUrlPattern entries it is helpful to be able to verify which pattern is being used and whether they are valid. The Flash administration guide has details of the TraceOutputEcho option which may be added to the mms.cfg file to enable additional logging to the browser javascript console using this line: TraceOutputEcho=1 This will cause entries like this in the console to show that a URL was blocked: VM85:1 SWF : *** EnableAllowList blocks 'http://localhost:80/admin/messagebroker/amf'. *** VM86:1 SWF : SecurityError: Error #2146 url: 'http://localhost:80/admin/messagebroker/amf' Remove the line or set the value to 0 to disable the extra logging.
