Solved: It took me a fair while to find anything on this that actually worked and the Flash Player Trust directory kept on popping up.

One will have to check the latest Flash Player security paper.

For Flash Player 9 you can find it here.
And you want to look for information on the: Global Flash Player Trust directory

On mac it is located at: /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust/

In there you can simply create a file with the suffix .cfg, which the Flash Player checks every time it starts up and plays an swf.

If the file or folder path is in that file, it is trusted and doesn’t throw sandbox errors anymore. In the above case, I haven’t tested if it’s the swf or the xml that Flash has to trust, but in my case they are both somewhere beyond the folder I added in the file (/Users/marcuskirsch/Documents/–JOBS/0064SCMI/201006AntennaFuture/DEV).

I named my file : fdtTrust.cfg

That means everything inside the DEV folder is kosher.

This one works for me and player 9 on Snow Leopard and FDT 3.5 enterprise, I haven’t checked on player 10 which might have all that in an Adobe folder rather than Macromedia(not sure about this), I guess the security paper on 10 will mention it.

UPDATE:
after wrestling with more than 3 other machines it seems I tried lots of things and missed the working one.
Here is the one that worked on my last machine:
set your workspace to trusted at this website:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
That should render it nicely.

Hope that helped you guys.
