SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation: ExternalInterface caller file:///C:.swf cannot access file:///C

Hi,

I just finished developing my Flex Application (using the Trial Adobe Flex Builder 3.0) and after going to Project > Export Release Build, I can see that when I view my project inside the Adobe Flex software, my application works beautifully.

Now if I go to bin-release\BackupOptimizerPartII.html (where BackupOptimizerPartII.html embeds the .swf file), I keep getting the following error in both FireFox and Internet Explorer:

SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation: ExternalInterface caller file:///C:/Documents and Settings/paggarwala/Desktop/Flex/bin-release/BackupOptimizerPartII.swf cannot access file:///C:/Documents and Settings/paggarwala/Desktop/Flex/bin-release/Copy of BackupOptimizerPartII.html.

I did research online and followed exaclty what Curtis Morley said on his website by removing all the 'same domain' and 'never' tags to 'always' as shown on his site:

http://curtismorley.com/2008/11/01/actionscript-security-error-2060-security-sandbox-violation/

...yet nothing follows through. Does anyone have any clue what the heck is going on? Do I need to purchase the original to get this to work? I need to demo this to my boss in less than 24 hours ON my domain (even with the "trial" written on it).

Shown below is my *.html code that embeds the Flex *.swf file. Any help please? Completely appreciated.
