Security violation in processEvents() #159
Description
I have flash debug player version installed: 17.0.0.188, testing on IE9.
I get the error of Security violation trying to access "unknown", in ExternalInterface call, in processEvent(). It is hard to reproduce, and I didn't copy exact error. I found the same kind of error posted by someone else:
SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation: ExternalInterface caller http://example.com/path/my.swf cannot access <unknown>.
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_evalJS()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
Here's a suggested patch:
diff --git a/flash-src/src/net/gimite/websocket/WebSocketMain.as b/flash-src/src/net/gimite/websocket/WebSocketMa
