3.0 Important security settings needed for the application built

Due to the security changes of Flash 7 onwards, in order to allow the built flash application to fetch data remotely, it is necessary to change the current directory where the built application locates to “local trusted”. The file bin-debug of a project is of sandbox type "local-trusted" by default once the project is created.
