What does System.security.sandboxType tell you? Should be 'localTrusted'

It might be.
Have you got your local disk trusted in the Flash Player Settings
manager? (I may have already asked you?)

To track down the problem of loading the preview in zinc/mac I did the
following:
Replaced in
showPreview()
source=xxx withA
source=mdm.Application.path + 'verysimple.swf';
(mdm.Application.path is the path where the zinc projector resides)
verysimple.swf is just a circle I draw in Flash.
This is what happens:
Loads in the Flash Debug player (Mac) and displays the red circle
Does not load in my Zinc projector (Mac), just displays a broken image
icon.
I think it must be bug in Zinc.
