I get the following message in the trace debugger of my AS3 flash client upon attempting to connect to the remote server:

```auto
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from
 http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The 'secure'
 attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files. See
 http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files for details.

```

Connection is being successfully made, though, and everything runs smoothly.

It`s just that I fail to understand what it means and why does it keep popping up,

and am not even sure it has anything to do with wowza…

Thanks…
