I recently upgraded to Flash Player 8 and now when I click "More Scores" in the Fox Sports widget, I get a Macromedia Flash Player Security wiindow that says:

"Macromedia Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.

The following application on your computer or network:
/Users/~/Library/Widgets/FOX Sports.wdgt/fsdashboard.html
is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:

msn.foxsports.com

To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings."

I click "Settings" and it just closes and the widget crashes. I click "OK" and the same thing happens.

I've tried finding a Flash 7 Player but couldn't. How do I change the settings to trust the widget?

I have Flash Player 8.0 r22 installed and this widget and don't have the issue. Hmm, maybe a Firewall issue? Do you have Little Snitch installed?

[GuyWithACamera]

Thanks for the response.

No, I don't have Little Snitch installed on this computer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the Flash Player and the widget.

Same here, no firewall and I get this issue over and over.

Ha! That worked. Ya know, I was on that page in my search and thought that control panel was just a screen shot of the cp that was either on a windows computer or should be on my computer somewhere. Then I read "The above is not an image..." I guess I should work on my reading skils.

Thanks. That did the trick.

Out of curiosity, what settings need to be changed exactly?

[Fain[spawn]]

Global Security Settings.

The quick fix is to set it to Always Allow.

If you are concerned with that, then there appears to be a field where you can add specific websites to the allowable list.

Cool, thank you.
